Virgin Credit Card Review
The Virgin Credit Card remains the king of the balance transfer credit card within the UK.  The balance transfer period of 14 months is the longest of any of the top credit cards in the market.  The balance transfer period combined with the very competitive and attractive purchase rate makes the Virgin Credit card the choice of many UK consumers.

The purchase rate is in line with other top credit cards in the market. The 3 months 0% on purchases is now the standard in the industry.

Advantage
s
  • Great balance transfer interest rate
  • Longest balance transfer term of the major cards in the UK.  16 months from time card is approved.
Disadvantages
  • Can be expensive, so you need to be aware of interest rate changes, and fees.
  • At this time, tough to qualify for, carefully review approval criteria

Additional Comments:
The Virgin credit card is s great card for holidays spending and any urgent purchases. The card has a very attractive balance transfer offer of zero percent (0%) period of 14 months which we have used to buy more expensive purchases.  The card is easy to apply for and after filling in a simple online form within ten days I was notified we card was on the way.

After approval, Virgin gave us a large credit limit which is very tempting to spend as it seems free money but if you read the small print the interest rate is quite high after the introduction period. This card uses the MasterCard payment system so is excepted in most stores, petrol stations, stores, etc

We would recommend this card to people who want to make a large purchases but are able to make all payments during the interest free period.  After the interest free period, this card becomes expensive.

In conclusion this card works well and if used correctly can benefit your family and offset large purchases if not can be very expensive
I would recommend this card as a secondary credit card and use a cashback card for your primary means of payment

Summary - This is one of the most desired credit card in the UK.  Full of benefits and low rates, just be careful of the rate(s) after the introductory period.

It's always nice to help others and at Virgin Money we like to do our bit.

Richard Branson launched Virgin Unite in September 2004 to tackle tough social challenges using Virgin's global resources and its people. We're now focused on not just what we can raise in monetary terms, but how the many skills of Virgin staff can be put to good use.

Virgin Unite is the 'not-for-profit' entrepreneurial foundation of the Virgin Group working with great partners around the world to develop new approaches to tough social and environmental issues. Check out www.virginunite.com.

Every member of Virgin Money staff is given a free day to allow them to get involved with charitable work one day a year. As well as being totally committed to Virgin Unite, we also actively support our local community. Our staff work with local and national projects and many more take part in a wide range of fundraising - running marathons, swimathons, dragon boat racing, mountain climbing, cake baking and much more.
