One advantage of Virgin over Continental is the ability to earn a greater number of miles from hotel and rental car partners. A Hilton stay earns 1000 Virgin miles, but usually only 500 miles with other carriers. An Avis retail-rate rental also earns 1000 Virgin miles, and because Virgin is a foreign airline, there is no frequent-flyer tax charged by Avis for the miles. If you elect to join Virgin and need a referral, send me a PM: we'll both earn bonus miles.
