Comenity Bank issues & manages the Virgin America co-branded credit cards. The website listing these cards now states that they are no longer accepting new applicants and current cardholders will be notified of any changes to their account.
On the Virgin America website they are now advertising the Alaska credit card instead (Alaska airlines acquired Virgin America). What will happen to existing cardholders will really depend on the contract Comenity Bank & Virgin America had, there are two realistically options:
- Bank of America will purchase the backbook from Comenity Bank and Virgin America cardholders will be product changed to the Alaska card.
- Comenity Bank will product change them to another Comenity Bank card
I think the first option is probably more likely as Comenity don’t have any non-branded credit cards available so they’d need to create a new product to product changes existing cardholders into. You can read our reviews of the now non-available Virgin America cards here.
