You certainly used to get a referral bonus - IIRC it was 4K for the black card and 3K for the white card. The link always seemed to be hidden away though.
When this question was asked in the past the answer given was to google 'Virgin Atlantic credit card refer a friend', but this doesn't seem to work any more. All the links this points to are broken.
My guess is that, because the whole credit card / loyalty points thing is in a state of flux due to the various European legal rulings, they have done away with it.

It seems to be selective. I received an email from MBNA with a referral link, while my other half (separate account) did not. The link is not visible anywhere on the statement or online card management screen, only from the email. Maybe if you contact customer services and ask?

I have a personal referral link, again, from @mbna. I have successfully referred my wife, although the points took almost 4 months to post. She has been told by mbna, point blank and in writing that there is no referral facility, and my referral link must be to get someone to sign up to Flying Club.
Don't you love it when under-trained customer services staff indulge in alternative truths.

I too got emailed a personal referral link so I guess that they are now starting to be a little bit more proactive in new client generation. Its the usual 3000 miles for me and either 10000 miles ( basic white card ) or 25000 miles (double miles black card) for the person taking the card out. See HERE for the deal they offered me.
It goes without saying that you are free to use the link if you are looking sign up of course :-)

What is rather bizarre about the deal (and I've told Virgin this) is that the person being referred doesn't get any extra benefit. This makes it a bit one-sided because you're asking your friend to help you out without getting anything back.

I too get the email link for referral. It is quite bizarre to have such a 'promotional email' as the person you refer does not get anything. It makes it hard to convince people to sign up using 'your' link. but my link is here for anyone wants to join through my referral
Thanks
Thanks

I sent MBNA a secure message (in the Communication Centre of my online account) asking for a referral code I can use for the Virgin credit cards. It turns out it is simply
http://www.mbna.co.uk/MGM/?mc=1061295109
where 1061295109 is my Virgin flying club number. Please use this to generate your own referral link by substituting your own flying club number (or you can use mine ;-)). Of course whether or not the bonus points actual post is another matter entirely…..
