The cards are from Comenity Capital Bank:
Virgin America Visa Signature
15,000 bonus elevate points after spending $1000 in the first 90 days
Up to 3 points per $1 spent
$150 off companion ticket once per year
20% off RED inflight purchases
Free first checked bag for you and a companion.
$49 annual fee
Virgin America Premium Visa Signature
All of the above plus:
20,000 (instead of 15,000) bonus elevate points after spending $1000 in the first 90 days
No change or cancel fees on Virgin America flights
Earn up to 15,000 status points per year
Carry forward additional status points at your annual renewal
$149 (instead of $49) annual fee
some nice benefits. I like how they did not give status perks to cardholders (except the free checked bag). Not diluting the elite program. Very nice.

Use the promo code ABCDEFG to book Virgin America roundtrip flights for two with a 14-day advance purchase, and take $150 off your plus one’s fare. Grab seats by May 17, 2014 and make your escape by May 31, 2014

They're the issuer of a butt-load of the store credit cards, Victoria's Secret, Express, etc. If you can think of the store chances are Comenity is the bank. Comenity issues these store credit cards with insane APRs. They don't have 24-hour telephone customer service. And they are notorious for adding "account protector" to your account without your knowledge.

But, if you are a cautious person by nature, wait a little while to hear others experiences before signing up for a co-branded store card, wait, I mean the new VX partner credit card from comenity.
