I notice you only get 10 points instead of 25 now for sharing on social media. But you can keep going and going, how many can you share?
I tweeted them to ask and apparently it’s 50!
Thank you so much I didn’t know that I only went looking to see if there was a bonus code today as nothing is posted for day 9
It looks like Virgin have capped the points for sharing a page – I got no points for sharing today.
Please can someone remind me what is the latest limit again? Sounds like officially it’s 50 but I think I read it somewhere that someone managed to bag 800 points for sharing?
I got 500 points for sharing at 10 points each. I just kept going. This on top of being verified, changing my profile pic and and doing quiz!!
I also noticed that as well
50 – I couldn’t sleep last night.
Where do you enter the bonus codes? Can’t find it on the app. Thanks in advance
Tap on explore , enter code is above settings.
Top right of app and click enter code

Thanks, saved me Googling 🙂
I’m registered with three Virgin companies but only received points for one this morning.
I managed to ‘share’ 45 times for 450 points.
A tip for iPhone users (and maybe others too – I haven’t tested it). [some may already have seen this tip elsewhere or the Reverend includes it – if so, apologies for repeating]
With the referrals now being 50 x 10pts, I realised that you get the points even if you click on the ‘copy link’ option when presented with the phone’s forwarding options. It saves a lot of time and the hassle of actually forwarding 50 messages to yourself.
Hi
What exactly are you referring? Is this a FB, Insta, Twitter thing? Apologies… tad confused
Thanks, Graham – that is incredibly helpful. Much appreciated!
When you share the first thing you get the you’ve won 10 points, just share that to notes rather than going back and finding a fresh page to share. It’s less clicks and you can see each time you do it how close you are to the next vault
Thanks graham my rusty iPhone did the copy in record time
Thank you!
Morning all,
Just to say im pleased I wasn’t only one that tweeted VR this morning about sharing…
They said changed mid April, but I hadn’t read it anywhere but 500pts later it’s all good
Glad the bonus codes are back and 2 a week – with a little searching invoiced. Lol.
I just forward to note, Bluetooth whatever pops up, I don’t actually send just click back and you get the points 🙂
Great tip Graham, thank you, saves a lot of time and hassle using the copy link.
Tip for everyone, I managed to gather 600 points by sharing 60 times, so don’t assume it stops at 50!
I think I’d sooner not do all my social media connections’ heads in by spamming them with virgin red shares, but that’s just my thoughts!
Hi Stuart
As mentioned in thread above, you can use the copy link (Susan had another method too) and gain the points without actually sending anything to anyone/anywhere.
At risk of sounding simple!!, how is this done??
How do I share to get points cause I’ve never come across that before?
I don’t think you get 50 points any longer for a profile picture change.
According to the log under settings, I have received 800 points for sharing – that was 80 emails to myself — so in with an excellent chance of making the final vault. Having played for two or three years every month, I have yet to win a thing. But at least it takes up some of my day during lockdown
I don’t seem to have a log on Android, but just got 50 for changing my picture. I’ve found in previous months it doesn’t seem to give you points for this if you do it the first day or two? I’m now up to 1440, quite a bit still to go. Could be tricky this month if no bonus codes!
I have an iPhone and this tip doesn’t work for me.
Where are you copying the link from, I’m using the app on my iPhone and can’t see any link to copy?
For me it comes whenever I achieve new points for example when I get 25 points for This or That. When that pop up screen appears there is a symbol in the top right hand corner of the pop up screen which looks a bit like two sides of a triangle. Click that and it gives you the option of sharing the news that you won those points and are playing the game. Once shared it pops up with another you’ve won 10 points message with the same symbol and so you just keep repeating.
Hi,
Anyone found any of the bonus codes yet? I’ve searched and nothing jumping out!
No, not yet. That’s what I’m looking for on here. I’m assuming first will be tomorrow.
Possibly, I’m not fully understanding where they are so I’ll keep a check back here to see where to find them! Thanks!
Bob. I got 50 points for changing my profile picture. Have another try.
Thanks Jacqueline I tried again and received 50 points for photo profile change. Now I’m happy
Great news there are bonus codes on the way, will keep an eye out.
For anyone still not sure about how to get points for sharing, just open any of the tiles in the app (eg virgin wines), in the top right you’ll see the box/arrow forward icon, click that and the platform options will appear below eg sms, email, WhatsApp etc. Below this (at least on an iPhone) you’ll see the copy icon – as Graham pointed out, you can simply click this and the points will be awarded without having to send the link anywhere. Or any of the methods others have mentioned above. Oddly, there seem to be different limits to how many times you can do this to get points – I managed 60 (600 points) whereas Bob (good for you!) managed 80 and others a different total. Hope this helps
I didn’t know they had reduced the sharing points from 25 to 10 until I checked my history today. Also didn’t know they had upped the number you could do from 5 to 50+ until I came here so many thanks for the heads up.
I can confirm that you don’t actually have send something to get the sharing points on Android either. I use Twiiter and just hit cancel when it displays the tweet for confirmation. Still get the points and it’s always done that even before they changed it this month.
Hi Andre,
How do you see your points history. I can’t see anywhere in the app?
Thanks.
Thanks Andrena, great explanation worked for me
My pleasure, glad it worked – all credit to Graham who discovered this easier way to share 🙂
Bonus code “Wild”.
Found on Sofa Safari tab.
Where is the Sofa Safari tab?
the virgin red app has a load of tabs where they give you info on diff subjects, do some marketing on their and partners’ products and services… etc. It’s the first thing that comes up when you open the app
Bonus code is wild
Quiz today…
1. FIFA World Cup
2. Eagle
3. Lucha Libre
Testing our brains (or google’s) a bit more than last months quizzes?!
Bonus WILD…..capital letters
Thanks these tips are fab especially the copy link tip. Stay safe. ❤️
I’ve found the Bonus Code as well, just can’t find a way to actually enter it, anyone know how you do this?
In V Red app click on Explore tab on top right hand corner. Enter a code is in the list at the bottom that pops up second from the bottom.
5th May and I only have 75 points left to enter VIP Vault. They may as well just have a lucky dip of all their customers each month.
to be fair Diane they are probably not factoring in people taking the P1ss with the sharing rewards.
Bonus code PETS from Show and tell page.
The 10pts for sharing ha now been disabled
Wondered if that might happen when folk found it had become fairly unlimited!
No… seems to be working fine for me.
Does anyone know what the Show And Tell section is actually for? Other than giving points out, what do Virgin use it for? I’ll be honest, I just take a photo of the floor each time
Hi Stu,
I just think its for Virgin Red to give you 50 points. I know they used to share photos back in the app.
The terms & conditions say that you grant VR ‘an irrevocable, perpetual, royalty-free, non-exclusive, worldwide, transferable license to publish, play, copy. modify, create derivative from..’
So they ‘may’ use it but I’ve not seen anything I’ve submitted anywhere – and I doubt they’d use it!
People do read the T&C’s, don’t they?
😀
Thanks,
The Reverend
Is anyone buying Virgin Atlantic airmiles? Is it still safe to do so with the coronavirus uncertainty and now redundancies?
I’ve just spent mine on a deposit to Orlando for December 2021, my thinking was if they go under then i’d lose them anyway
Hi Adam, How did you use them for a deposit? I’d like to do the same. Many thanks!
When I went to purchase my holiday via virgin holidays it gave me an option once I had filled in names etc to log in and pay via airmiles, it uses them as payment so it takes the deposit first, also save 7% on the holiday price aswell
Thanks Adam!
Personally I wouldn’t. I’ve moved 350k to Hilton and left 100k in Virgin to hedge my bets a bit.
PETS 25pts

Just realised i’ve now lost my 250 points for virgin trains
That stopped once the franchise ended.
virgin trains (west coast at least) hasn’t existed for 6 months.
Thanks everyone. Its a tricky one. The flying club telephone number is unobtainable. They are offering a texting service but haven’t replied.
I found it took 24h or so via their WhatsApp service but they did eventually get back to me.
Thanks Alan. It’s been three days now but I’ll try again on Monday.
I changed mine to wine vouchers via text, worked nice and smoothly
Security alert:

I found FITNESS as a bonus code in the Workout tab today which I can’t see listed above.
Have they also changed the bonus releases as I’m sure it said they were in the app pages and not on other social media.

I can’t seem to complete the bonus on show and tell tile. It won’t let me submit. I’m using an iPad. Has anyone else the same problem?
Anyone having trouble with show & tell. Won’t let me submit
Me too
Same. On iPhone
The ‘Done’ button is white writing on a nearly white background, so it might be difficult to see. It’s to the right of the the ‘Description Here’ button. If you kindly tap on this, it will close your keyboard and reveal the Submit button.
Thank you. I’ve now been able to do it. I’ve been trying everyday it’s been driving me mad
Yes I had the same hassle with Show and Tell on my iPad. I just kept pressing buttons left, right and center. Finally I got the Submit button to appear so I could get 50 points – now I can’t recall which button solved the problem. Hey ho!
I have had the same problem. Actually worked this morning.
No Flash Friday, anyone else have the same problem?
Yes, I can’t find it anywhere. Once I’ve got into VIP vault (which is a little too easy these days) Flash Fridays are one of the few things that get me on Virgin Red for the rest of the month. Hope they’re just being lazy and it will come on later.
Speak for yourself lol. I’m only just nearing vault 6. I only have one connected Virgin company and I have missed a couple of days this month but I’ve done the codes so far and quizzes.
Just had alert for Flash F. Eventually appeared in the app. Flowers!
Yes it is there now. After all that its not very exciting. Oh well, better than nothing but I’m not entering. More chance for everyone else.
I’ve seen a recent exchange with VirginRed on Twitter about winners.
Someone asks why there are so few winners from London, and Virgin Red says winners are chosen by computer at random and only the winners’ counties are then displayed. They then say that London wouldn’t be shown because it’s a city but they’ve had winners in all the “four counties covering London”.
As London is its own county with a huge population, you’d expect to see far more VirginRed winners. However, if Londoners are being filtered out, it would go some way to explaining why some of us long dedicated players, have never won a sausage…
I have lived in Warwickshire, Lancashire and Cumbria over the past few years and although I have always played and always get in the VIP vault, I have yet to win anything. I don’t think it matters where you live.
Fair point Carol. I think you and I perhaps, have terrible luck when it comes to winning on VirginRed
I wish you the best of luck for May’s prize draws.
You too Gay! 🙂
I thought initially that when you opened the vault you had entered for the prize, later I realised you then had to click on the vault and the word enter came up and click on that.

The Bonus Codes don’t tend to.

Does anybody else do the virgin red townhall surveys?
I have just been sent a £50 amazon voucher for a survey I did last week on the future of virgin red! So chuffed.
Stay safe x
Where did you find the survey Helen?
Hi Sal
I was asked to join via email a few weeks ago. I assume they are selecting random virgin red members.
go to:
Townhall.virginred.com
Yes, I have but not got anything back, yet
Thanks for the continued coverage Rev.
Is it possible for you to post the link to next month’s blog at the end of this one when you start it?
It would be very helpful.
😉
Hi Pavane,
Thats a good idea. Lets see if I remember it on Monday Morning! 😀
I do have a whole blog for people to explore if they want, its not just about the Virgin Red competition 😀
Thanks,
The Reverend
Yes please! Just got 500 points by copying links. Teeny prizes in first few vaults
Pavane your request is brilliant. I have real difficulty at then beginning of each month to find Revs new blog. Rev thanks for all the tips you give and would really appreciate it if you could do a link at the end of each month’s blog so we can find you more easily. Take care everyone.
Just letting you know, I today had an email from Virgin to say I’ve won a bottle of gin! They say they’ll deliver it within 30 days. Whoopee, so the prizes are genuine!! All these years of playing, and persistence has finally paid off. Good luck everyone.
Just got into the final vault today. I decided not to ‘share’ things to see if I could achieve it and I have. Possibly the longer month helped too .
Really hoping for 1 more bonus code today – I’m 20 points away from VIP!
HI Natasha,
Have you tried all these to get the extra points?
