Today’s code is AWAY.
Hello Tracy,
Good to have you along for the ride. Check out my blog page with extra hints and tips on how to get extra points. Its a big points target this month but I guess with the extra codes they are planning to give this should be easy for people to get into.

Thanks,
The Revered
Yes….already opened 6 vaults! Thanks for all the help you give us! Have a great Christmas ☃️
Hi Chris,
Looks like it will be points a plenty this month.
There is no VIP vault so I expect they might have something special for us at the end of December.
Thanks,
The Reverend
How on the last day still 400 points to get the last vault, completed all items to get max points.
Hope you can help.
Many Thanks.
Dan

Hi Anita,
Have you checked your point history incase you pressed submit twice?
Thanks,
The Reverend
Today’s code is the same as day 1. Would this be why it won’t work?
Hi Brian,
Thanks for pointing that out – I’d not noticed that.
Its updated now.
Thanks,
The Reverend

The quiz tile on mine has disappeared, I was about to start it and seen the first question but then the app froze so I closed and started again but the quiz was gone and it says I’ve earned all of today’s points. Irritating, I hope it will come back!
Same here. Oh well got till Sunday night for it to reappear
The quiz has re appeared, and I’ve been able to fill it in twice today, so try again!
I did the quiz earlt this morning, and have just done it again and got 100 points 50 each time !!
Excellent work!
I hope I can also get those extra points!
Yippee! I got double points for doing the quiz twice as well.
Today’s word = BRIGHT
I’ve had the quiz reset as well. Definitely seems worth doing it early at the moment. Two resets already this month
As an aside; I wonder how many put Die Hard as their favourite Christmas movie in show and tell.
It’s a shame they never give out any results for their votes.
I know I did lol
Hi Kevin,
I have seen Die Hard AND Die Hard 2 in the boxes at the bottom of the tiles so people are definately putting it.

Thanks,
The Reverend
Hi thanks to the Rev and everyone who posts the daily codes, but where do you find them? Happy Christmas everyone.
Hi Jacqueline,
They are on tile #1 on the app.
🙂
You need to know the carol/song but easy to get.
Thanks,
The Reverend
Just two vaults to go. I seem to have whizzed through them this month.
Today’s word for 100 points = NEED
Saturdays code is
Need
DREAM = 250 pts
Just a guess. Use at your own risk.
Hi MacDiverDoofer,
Thanks for this. I’ll leave it in the comments but wont add it to the main blog. I’m sure there are lots of words for the remainder of the competition that will give bonus points and I know people do like to try and guess them.
🙂
Thanks,
The Reverend
Yes it works. Didn’t know the whole month’s already worked if you guessed them. Hold (from Mud’s Lonely this Christmas) = 50 and Everyone = 100 (Presuming from the Shaky hit)
Another one is Outside. Can’t remember how many points that gave
Play = 100.
Sorry am I ruining everyone’s fun. I can tell you was eliminated on Strictly last night if you like too
Ring is today’s clue word
Today’s word for 50 points = RING
Today’s word for 100 points = CITY
Daily quiz
1. Columbia
2. 2012
3. Panama tierra oscura
Well done san
Good work Roger
Today’s clue word = CITY
100 Points
Good Morning. Whilst I have found all the Christmas song clues can you tell me where I find all the extra codes that people are mentioning – like DREAM for example?
Hello Ann Young,
They are people just ‘guessing’ words that appear at the end of sentences in Christmas songs. It looks like the Virgin Red team have uploaded all the correct answers into the app already so if you can guess it then you can get the points.
It does mean that when they do the actual clue, you will have already given them the correct answer so wont get the points again, unless they reset it, like they sometimes do with the quizzes.
Thanks,
The Reverend
Thank you – thought I was missing something somewhere & thank you for the help and hints they are so useful
Today’s word for 100 points =WHY
Today’s word for 100 points = WHY
Found one from guessing. Time = 50 points
Eve = 50 points
Night for 100 points
One more vault to open! Fingers crossed I make it!
Clue today = NIGHT
Today’s clue – night
I found these from guessing words if anyone would like to try them
50pts – nose belling hop everyone faces shade
100pts- play
Cheers they all worked. Brilliant job
Quiz answers
1) Macaulay Culkin
2) Green
3) 2003
Bonus: Felicidad – 100 points
Hope this helps.
I only got 50 for felicidad
12.12.19
Answer is FELICIDAD
Today’s word
felicidad
It’s a Puerto Rican Christmas song by Jose Feliciano which goes –
Feliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad
Prospero año y felicidad
Literally translated it means
” Merry Christmas, a prosperous year and happiness” but the English version of the song is –
I wanna wish you a merry Christmas
I wanna wish you a merry Christmas
I wanna wish you a merry Christmas
From the bottom of my heart.
Anymore bonus codes ?
I have 1300 points to go to get into the final vault and have used all the guessed codes above too! I hope I make it
Snap! Fingers Crossed for both of us – and everyone else.
I’ve never been so close to opening the final vault, but I’m 75 points short – how frustrating
Hi Jane,
Have you done all of the suggestions on my bonus tips and hints page?
http://thereverend.co.uk/money/competition3/virgin-red-hints-tips-bonus-points/
Thanks,
The Reverend
Glows = 100points
Glistening for 100 points
Friday 13th code = GLISTENING
Have a happy 13th!
I calculate that there is potentially around 2,100 points left up for grabs, 1,500 if you’ve already used the guessed words. So final vault should open.
975 points left.. should make it?
Hi Jeff,
It depends whether you’ve been guessing answers for the bonuses. If you haven’t you’ll make it with no issues.
Thanks,
The Reverend
Today’s code: BELLING for 50pts.
Syne = 100 points
Syne will get you 100 points from old lang syne
SHADE 50 points
Today’s word for 50 points = SHADE
Quiz December 16th
1. Korea
2. Ageing
3. Tencel
Today’s bonus word is ‘Girl’
I’m sadly excited that I might finally open the last vault for the first time!! Thank you everyone for your help
I do hope one of the people on here wins the vault.
I’d be happy to win
Any vault
I’m driving home for Christmas, oh I can’t wait to see those FACES
Faces
Thank you guys. I have 1000 points remaining till I open the last vault
I keep getting the message this looks familiar you have used this code before when I have not any one else had a problem ?
Hi John,
I’ve only had that problem if i’ve used a code before.
Contact customer services and they should be able to investigate.
Thanks,
Antoine
I have had this problem for last week will not accept anh codes just tells me they look familiar even the extra christmas day one
Thank you I have contacted them and as you said I had used it but forgot lol
Today’s code = PLAY for 100 points
Oh well I wish it could be Christmas everyday, when the kids start singing and the band begins to PLAY
Just opened vault 11.
Today’s quiz:
2017
Silver birch sap
Aberdeenshire
Code = hop
Only 500 points to go until I unlock 12… I’m not sure
Hmm…..I still need 1025 points to unlock number 12 and with only 12 days to go?!
But hey, Christmas is a time for miracles, so here’s hoping 🙂
Have a great day everyone.
Paddy x
Hi Paddy,
I expect there to be 550 points from just the ‘normal’ stuff over the next 12 days.
That means you’d need 475 points from the remaining bonus codes. I think you’ll hit that with no problems. Even if they are all ‘only’ 50 points between now and xmas thats still 600 points.
Thanks,
The Reverend
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock, jingle bells chime in jingle bell TIME
Time is bonus word
Today the code is : Time
Today’s word for 50 points = time
Today’s answer – time
Why can’t I put play in on 18 December
Hi Jean,
Have you been guessing answers or entering the guesses people have been adding to the comments? If so, you may have already given it and got the points for it.
Thanks,
The Reverend
No I knew the answer was play so did my mom it just said we used the code before which we did last year when we opened the vaults last year
Tried (time) as I know I have not used it before keeps saying looks familiar has anyone else had this problem. Customer services sent me details of questions so far (yesterday because I kept having the same problem putting in hop) doesn’t help me very much though problem not sorted
Hi Norma,
When this happens, most of the time it is because the code has been entered already. Its part of the reason I don’t put the ‘guessed’ answers in the main blog as it can cause confusion later on.
If you wanted to, you can work out whether you’ve had it based on points, unless you’ve used some of the guessed answers already at which point it becomes a lot harder.
Hope you get it sorted and I’m sure you’ll make it into the last vault with no issues.
Thanks,
The Reverend
Me too Norma. Tried today’s code and it won’t accept it either.
Today’s word for 100 points = glows
Today’s word for 50 points = hold
I have sent a list of 28 codes to customer services to have a look at as I know I have not used all of them
Hi John
You can check how many codes you have retrieved by looking at the list in your profile for this month – it shows all the points you have won this month and what source eg code or quiz etc.
Hope this helps.
Andrena
Today’s word is rhyme – 50 points

Today’s word for 250 points = dream
I have tried to use that code and noth myself and my partner it says that code looks familiar but we havent used it before unless its the same as another word?
Hi Steve,
Same here. The word is right Dream but the app says I have used it before and I know I haven’t.
Contacting VRed now
And with DELIGHTFUL being worth 100 points I have got into the final vault. Can save Monday’s quiz now till January. Losing the Virgin Trains 250 points from next month I’ll need all the help I can
I’m getting the same message 🙁
We have both tried the code Dream and get the same message “looks familiar”
I’m having problems with ‘dream’ too.
Is it possible to find a list of the points I’ve been awarded?
I am having same problem today, says ‘dream’ has been used before
Merry Christmas Everyone.
Which fits nicely with today bonus word…
EVERYONE for 50 points. Best wishes and thanks all for assistance with virgin red xx
Still unable to enter the code from 24th “dream” I get the message used before but I have not?? anyone have any ideas?

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas
Hear is today’s vault
Cheers for that – last vault opened!
Today vault question wants you to enter ‘ hear’ but the actual lyric for the line quoted is ‘see’.
Do You Hear What I Hear
Carrie Underwood
Said the night wind to the little lamb
Do you see what I see
Way up in the sky little lamb
Do you see what I see
A star, a star
Dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear
Ringing through the sky shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear
A song, a song
High above the trees
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king
Do you know what I know
In your palace wall mighty king
Do you know what I know
A child, a child
Shivers in the cold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Let us bring him…
Looks like Virgin got it wrong again then. Might be worth contacting them and seeing if they will give some bonus points for the confusion.
Just as a point of interest; this song was actually written in 1962 as a plea for peace during the Cuban Missile Crisis and was first a hit for Bing Crosby the following year.
I have and their response was:
‘ Virgin Red Support (Virgin Red Support)
27 Dec, 16:18 UTC
Yes, you are right! We are aware of this and we are in the process of updating the content.
Thanks for bringing it to our attention 🙂
Jane.’
So, I don’t hold out much hope of extra points.
That’s me in the final vault with 4 days to spare! Happy Holidays, good luck and thanks for all the hints!
Today’s word
Delightful for 100 points
Just entered the last vault with DELIGHTFUL. Good luck everyone.
I am now very happy that I have got all of the vaults opened for December 2019 just hope I win something for the 1st time in my life!!!!….
Well, got the last vault opened today – on my birthday, and didn’t even need today’s word! Whooo Hoooooo !
Happy birthday Stuart and a very happy new year.
Happy birthday Stuart.
I have 75 point left to go
Yay thank you for all the tips & help. First time ever completing the final fault. Now just wait and see with fingers crossed…
Today’s word for 50 points = eve
Just entered the last vault with 2 days to spare.
250 left!! Is it still possible ?!
I have 225 to go! Stranger things have happened
You should do if you haven’t used the guessed words.
2 this or that’s and the Monday quiz gives 100 points The words are a minimum of 50 ; so another 100.
Syne will probably be New Year’s Eve, which was guessed and gave 100 points; which would give you 250 points total
I’ve just got the final vault opened!! Phew, wasn’t sure I’d make it. Good luck everyone! Great site Reverend – thanks for the tips and help
Yessssss got the last vault
thank you all for the help
Have a great New Year
I have 250 to go to! Close!
375 to go so I won’t make it this time!
Has anyone here ever won anything?
I’ve won a bottle of bubbly, but that was ages ago.
Not me
Hi Faye, my mum won a 3k holiday voucher (we are going to Orlando in Feb) they didn’t quite believe it when we went into the Virgin store in Meadowhall with it. Honestly we were a little skeptical about it at first. That’s how I ended up playing.
Wow that’s amazing! Have a fab time in Orlando 🙂
I won 6 mini bottles of Prosecco a few years ago and recently I won a £100 M&S voucher
75 to go, fingers crossed doable with 2 days left. Never won anything though, have any of the folks here?
Today’s code:
UNDERWAY for 50 points
I’m saving the quiz for January as all vaults open yay!
Today’s code = UNDERWAY for 50 points

Made it. Thanks for all your help and a Happy New Year
Thought I was 75 points short but went back and tried a few codes from earlier in the month – turned out I hadn’t used store yet and got 100 points so made final vault for first time in months! Thanks everyone for the help.
Well Done Jamie!
Any help on today’s quiz? Its the last points i need for the last vault.
Hello Matt – The answers should be there from yesterday.
Thanks,
The Reverend
Just seen it was only the first question which was different.
Tip for extra points- Share the vaults that you’ve entered to FB or Twitter if you haven’t already done so! Go onto each vault individually and click the symbol on the top right corner. Should come up with options to share!
Many thanks. Was 25 points short (wouldn’t let me enter some codes) and this worked
Again many thanks and Happy 2020
Thanks for that tip, just unlocked vip vault
You can also just share them to your notes and you get the points without having to share to your social media.
Or even just to Bluetooth to save having to delete a note (share, pick BT from menu then go back)
Katrina,
Thanks, this is an awesome tip! I never knew you could collect extra points from sharing vaults via Twitter. Have a wonderful New Year!
Quiz up again with a change to first question. Extra 50 points if you did it yesterday!
Scotland
3
30th Dec
Sharing my vaults 3 times got me the last 75 points I needed. First tine ever I’ve got the last vault! Happy new year folks
4500 points and last vault unlocked, thank you so much, ever month I come back here for help! Happy new year everyone : )
Boooooo…….25 points short
That will teach me to miss the first few days of the month!
The first question of the quiz from Monday 30 Dec has changed. The answer is now Scotland.
The others have stayed the same: 3 and 30th December.
Happy New Year!!!!!
Just a note to say thank you Reverend for your hints and for all your advice re. the Virgin Red. I enjoy playing as a bit of fun, haven’t won anything ever. Just wanted to say many thanks to you and all the other commenters each month. I was delighted to get into the final Vault for the first time ever so thank you! Happy New Year all!
Happy New Year everyone!
