Do status points earned from the Premium Visa count towards Status Match?
I'm planning to do the status match challenge later this year. Virgin's site says I need to earn 3,000 Status Points to maintain Silver status.
If I have the Virgin Visa Premium card, which gives me 5k Status points if I spend $10k, will those count towards the challenge?
thanks all!

Better do so soon. It's ending September 30.
Having the card decreases the number of tier points you need to earn to meet the match.

I was just wondering the same. Did you ever find a conclusive answer?

While holding the credit card reduces the amount of status points that you have to earn to meet the challenge, I believe the required status points must come from flights.
The language from VX on the status match reads in part: "if you like the perks* (and we bet you will), you can retain your status through the end of 2016 by earning sufficient status points for flights on Virgin America, Virgin Atlantic, and Virgin Australia before your temporary status expires. You can qualify even faster by signing up for a Virgin America Visa Credit Card:**"

ANY status points added during the 90 day match period will count towards meeting the match, including from Visa. The issue is that most people will have JUST gotten the card, so they would have to spend $10,000 in that 90 day match period AND have status points added within that same time. Almost impossible to time correctly on a brand new credit card account.
