Which points pool in the Household account?
All Virgin Points earned through Flying Club after you’ve linked your accounts will go into the Household account automatically. Points earned through Virgin Red won’t, but if you’d rather have everything in one place, give us a call and we’ll move them across.
*Taxes, fees and charges apply. The price of reward seats is variable and will be displayed at the time of booking. Seats at Saver price points are subject to availability and will not necessarily be available in every cabin or on every flight.
How does it work...
The Household leader needs to add you to their account (you’ll need to be at the same address).

Once you’ve joined:
You’ll be part of the Household for at least 12 months.
All Virgin Points you earn through Flying Club after linking your account will go into the Household account.
Points earned through Virgin Red will stay in your account (unless you request a transfer).
Only the Household leader will be able to spend Household points.
You’ll keep any Virgin Points you’ve already earned.
Any Tier Points you earn are yours to enjoy.
Household account FAQs
If your circumstances change within 12 months, please contact our customer centre and they can assist you with next steps.
When all Household members are unlinked from the Household account the current points balance will be kept by the Household leader. Points earned going forward by any unlinked member will go to their own balance.
To set up a Household account please log into your Flying Club account
As a Household member you will be able to see other members name, tier and points contributed and the leader will see your Flying Club number.
Only the Household leader can change the address and the address will change for all Household members.
Anyone can travel on a Household booking, you don't need to be part of the household.
Virgin Points that are earned directly via Virgin Atlantic or any Flying Club partner after linking your accounts automatically pool in the Household account.
For example, if you’re a linked member and you’ve added your Flying Club to an upcoming booking, your Virgin Points will pool in the Household account automatically after you’ve flown. It’s the same for Virgin Atlantic Holidays, our airline partners, Virgin Atlantic Credit Cards (UK) and Shops Away.
However, points earned via Virgin Red won’t pool automatically. For example, if you’ve connected your Virgin Red ID to a partner such as Tesco’s, the points won’t transfer. If you want them to do so going forward, you can update your Tesco’s account to attach your Flying Club number. Similarly, Virgin Red Rewards Mastercard® transactions won’t go into the Household account.
If you want the points earned through Virgin Red to move across, you can request a transfer (see below).
Linked members can request a transfer to the Household account via the Customer Centre.
Note, only transactions that are earned by linked members whilst they are part of the Household account are eligible to be moved across and a maximum of one transfer per month can be made.
You can transfer points to another Flying Club member for a flat fee of £10/$15. Just log in to your Flying Club account and click on ‘Transfer points’.
