So you bought a house. Or maybe you sold one. Either way, you probably signed a mountain of paperwork, cried once or twice, and stress-ate your way through half a Costco-sized box of snacks. But what if all of that chaos ended with you sipping Champagne on a private island, or taking in ocean views from a balcony on a luxe Caribbean cruise?
Thanks to a new partnership between Virgin Red (yes, that Virgin) and RBN Rewards, your next real estate transaction could be your passport to the kind of travel experiences most of us only daydream about between Zillow scrolls.
Here’s the deal: If you work with an RBN Participating Agent to buy or sell your home, you can now earn serious rewards—like Virgin Points that you can spend on everything from Upper Class flights on Virgin Atlantic to weeklong escapes on Richard Branson’s private island. Yes, Necker Island. We’re not talking about a hotel discount or a generic tote bag here. We’re talking lifestyle-level perks.
How It Works
Every dollar you put into your home deal (up to a point) earns you RBN Reward Points, which you can now transfer 1:1 into Virgin Points. That’s right—your mortgage might be soul-sucking, but at least your points aren’t.
So what can those Virgin Points get you?
Let’s take a peek:
-
2 million points: Seven dreamy, all-inclusive nights for two on Necker Island, AKA Branson’s own slice of paradise in the British Virgin Islands. Link to Necker Island info
-
330,000 points: Stay at Mahali Mzuri, an award-winning luxury safari camp in Kenya where the wildlife viewings are just as wild as the décor. Link to Mahali Mzuri
-
310,000 points: Sail away on a five-night Caribbean cruise with Virgin Voyages—complete with Michelin-inspired menus and that private balcony life. Link to Virgin Voyages
-
40,500 points (one-way): Kick back in the new Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse at LAX and enjoy a posh Upper Class flight to London. Bubbles included. Link to Virgin Atlantic
Let’s be honest—if you’re making a big move, why not let that transaction work harder for you?
Who’s Behind This Magical Travel-Meets-Real-Estate Mashup?
According to Kipp Lassetter, CEO of RBN Rewards (aka the guy who just made buying a house 100x cooler), the goal is to transform a necessary transaction into aspirational perks. In other words: buy a house, get a vacation. Sell a house, get a cruise. Life-enhancing rewards, all thanks to RBN’s smartly curated network of real estate pros.
And Virgin Red’s Andrea Burchett? She’s just as pumped. “We’re turning major life moments into unforgettable rewards,” she said. “This isn’t just loyalty—it’s lifestyle.” And we’re 100% here for it.
Who Can Use It?
Anyone who works with an RBN Participating Agent, which includes agents from some of the most luxe, high-end brokerages around the world. RBN is affiliated with Forbes Global Properties, so their reach is… well, global. And bonus: You can bring your own real estate agent into the network too, so you’re not stuck playing musical agents mid-move.
RBN has also been praised for protecting your data and never selling your information—no creepy calls or spammy follow-ups. Just good agents, good deals, and now… killer perks.
As Billy Nash of Nash Luxury / Forbes Global Properties puts it:
“This is going to change the game. Our clients aren’t just closing on a home—they’re unlocking unforgettable rewards. First-class flights, private islands, luxury travel? That’s the new normal.”
Real Estate Is No Longer Just a Transaction
The RBN x Virgin Red collaboration is part of a bigger trend—people want more than a roof and four walls. They want value beyond the sale, and this is delivering just that. Think of it as the intersection of luxury real estate and lifestyle goals. You’re not just buying property—you’re buying access to exclusive experiences that used to feel like lottery wins.
Final word from Kipp Lassetter:
“We’re redefining what it means to be a homeowner. We’re giving people the kind of perks that stretch far beyond a closing table. This is the future of real estate loyalty—and it looks really, really good.”
Your next home sale could land you on a private island. Or a luxury cruise. Or flying first class. All thanks to Virgin Red and RBN Rewards. This isn’t just real estate—it’s a lifestyle upgrade.
