  • Every penny you earn in cash back on your Virgin London Marathon Credit Card also earns you one Marathon Mile.
  • Check how many Marathon Miles you’ve earned each month at virginmoneygiving.com, or you could work it out from the amount of cash back on your monthly statement (e.g. £1.89 in cash back = 189 Marathon Miles).
  • Each Marathon Mile gives you one entry into a quarterly draw to win fantastic running-related prizes – like entry to some of the world's top marathons, world-class running kit, and more.

Card benefits

0.8% cash back on everything you buy on your card

Every time you buy something with your card – in-store or online – you earn 0.8% cash back.

When you take out a Virgin London Marathon Credit Card, we automatically set up a Virgin Money Giving account for you (unless you already have one). You just log in to your Virgin Money Giving account to tell us where you’d like your cash back to go – to your chosen charity, to our default charity, or have it paid to you.

If you’re a UK resident and taxpayer, Virgin Money Giving can also claim Gift Aid for you, so your charity donation increases to 1%.

If you’d prefer your cash back not to go to charity that’s fine too. You can choose to have your cash back sent to you annually by cheque.†
