Sorry of someone's addressed this before, but I have a Virgin Amex (UK) which is OK for collecting the odd mile, but what I'd really like is a Mastercard or a Visa. Is there such a thing? When I lived in the States I had a BA Visa that I put absolutely everything on and I ended up with tons of miles which I'll spend one day. But somehow you don't rack em up with an Amex so easily.

Used to be but no more, we were all moved off Mastercard onto Amex a year ago.

If there was a Visa or Mastercard, that offered 2 Virgin points for every pound spend, I don't think there would be many (if any) V-Flyers that still kept the VS Amex. [8D][:D]

Now now Nick, there are the raft of 'benefits' on the VS AmEx card you're forgetting! [xx(]

Yes, like the 'free' companion tickets (but please read the small print!)[:o)]

Hi ab2007
I have a BAA Visa card which i use when Amex isn't accepted. I can convert the BAA points I acrue into Virgin Airmiles.
Hth, Dan.

Thanksa lot for the BAA Card tip.
Just got some more 'small print' from Virgin about the Amex which of course I can't be bothered to read, who can?

Just got a bill for another £115 membership fee for the VS card. I'm cancelling it. Just didn't add up last year. hardly used it, must have cost me a tenner per mile I gained!
