Previous Virgin Red Competitions
Virgin Red August Competition – Date Night
Virgin Red July Competition – Happy 2nd Birthday
I saw the comments were empty so I thought I would start it off by saying Happy New Year everyone. I hope we all win something this year.
Happy New Year.
Didn’t win anything despite unlocking every vault every month. Hopefully something well click this year. Happy New year!!
Happy New Year everyone! May 2019 bring lots of VirginRed luck to us all.
Happy New Year ☺
Share for 25pts (up to 5 tines) seems to have disappeared? Or am I just not seeing it?
Still there Neoma, there’s nothing on the app that tells you you’ll get points for sharing, just go into a vault you’ve already opened and the share symbol is at the top right
To whoever was struggling to get verified with Virgin Trains a couple of days ago, try it today. They seem to have sorted the glitch in the system.
I keep trying to get verified with Virgin Trains but it keeps coming up with
“OOPS
Sorry some error occurred with VCO verification “
Happy New Year all, hopefully I’ll actually win something this year!!
Finally! After a very long break of not winning diddly squat!
I won 1 of 100 bottles from Virgin Wines.
Hello Dan,
Great news on the win! A few people in my comments won last year and it is always excellent to hear when people do.
🙂
Thanks,
The Reverend
I’ve been playing a few months and not won anything yet! This page has been a huge help at getting points though, thanks!
I won a Virgin Red Inside. Whoop Whoop! Donated to a homeless shelter. Holding out for a bottle of wine……
Happy New Year everyone!

Hi Claire,
I’ve added today’s answers to the quiz.
🙂
Thanks,
The Reverend
The answer to question 3 is Thomas Sullivan.
The first tea bags were made of paper in medieval China. That little nugget of knowledge cost me 50 points! Bah! Should have checked here first.
Further to this thread, I contacted Virgin Red and they added my 50 points. This is the second time that I’ve dealt with them and they have been excellent on both occasions. Really good customer service.
Thomas Sullivan is the inventor of the teabag. Question 3 answer/question has changed
Don’t know where you get silk from for Q3. My question was who invented the tea bag, Thomas Sullivan
Hello David,
It looks like Virgin Red have updated the question – they sometimes do this when people complain about one of the answers. It previously read ‘what were teabags originally made out of?’
Thanks,
The Reverend
Apologies, but I am tea geek. Thomas Sullivan was a US Tea Trader who sent samples of his tea offerings in silk pouches. Some of the recipients thought that this was for convenient brewing and in 1906 the ‘teabag’ was born.
Doesn’t help with the points accumulation but both answers are correct and I just could not resist a tea subject
That’s teamendous… I’ll get me coat
Just the VIP vault (900 points) to go, that seemed quick this month
How many companies are you verified with Dianne?
Reading the above I think I need to get into the habit of doing the quiz early on in the day like earlier than the 10am ish I tend to do it then revisit it again later on to see if there’s been any resets. As a verified on only two person I usually miss out on the VIP Vault.
@Maria
Four: Money, Trains, Media and Atlantic
@Dianne
Okay then I’m verified with 3 but not sure I’m gonna make it this month lol
Quiz day 10
Gazpacho
Andy Warhol
Noodle soup
Quiz answers – so far!
Gazpacho, Andy Warhol, Noodle Soup.
I googled for ages trying to find that soup answer and couldn’t find it, LOL! I’m a bit of an insomniac so was trying to put myself back to sleep at 4 AM 🙂

Thank you Colin
Two questions: if you win, do you receive notice during the first 2 weeks of the month or do they notify people throughout the month?
Is it just me, or has bonus points ground to a halt?
Good Day All!
I don’t know Carol, I’ve never had an email
Still need 450 points to get to last vault this month so touch and go for me.
I think if you haven’t heard within two weeks – you haven’t won 🙁
No bonus points this month I think – so I will fall short by 100pts
Quiz 50 Points
1 – Cheddar
2 – Mozzarella
3 – Sheep’s Milk
I haven’t got Thortful tile to get cheap cards anymore. Has that Thursday deal ended?
Good morning Zipster,
Answers have been added for today.
🙂
Thanks,
The Reverend
Hi.
Congrats to all lucky winners. I have played since virgin red started, i have only missed opening 2 vaults in all the time i ‘ve played. Never won a thing ! Not a bean ! Am I Virgin Red’s unluckiest player ?
Same here Suzanne, never one a single thing! Here’s hoping when we do win, it will be a big one, right? 🙂
Suzanne, I always say, “I couldn’t win if my name was the only one in a draw.” Let’s see which one of us wins first! Lol

3 days left to get 250 points, hope they throw us a bonus code
Just a quick question…
I’ve only got 25 points left to go into the last vault after today’s this or that, (which I will get into tomorrow using tomorrow’s this or that!) my question is how long does the quizzes stay active for? If I don’t do the quiz today and try save it for Friday when the February one starts will it last that long? I know that the this and that’s don’t work after the day is up but how long does the quizzes and show and tells stay up for? May sound like a stupid question but just wondering if it’s worth saving it for Friday?
Hi Maria,
The next quiz will be on Thursday so you might as well do this one, and then ‘carry over’ the next one.
🙂
Thanks,
The Reverend
Thank you the Reverend
Also not sure if anyone is aware but there’s a £1K virgin holiday voucher giveaway its gone up on the app today and it’s thw first tile on the app
I got an extra 25 point for being a virgin media customer
What was the code? They normally work for everyone
It was really weird, it just popped up saying thank you for being a loyal virgin media customer and gave me 25 points so no code to input sorry
How long do the show and tells stay up for please? Basically with today’s I’d still need 150 points tomorrow for VIP, that’s not going to happen without a code so wondered if I could save that one for Feb?
The show and tell is every Wednesday and lasts a week; the quiz is on a Monday and Thursday.
Hi Kevin,
I was about to say the same time – The ‘Show & Tell’ are up for a week but the quiz is twice a week.
Thanks,
The Reverend
With today’s points and the allowed five vault shares I’ve only got 75 points to go so I should reach VIP vault tomorrow, and I still have my Show and Tell to carry over.
Thanks, I think I’ll hold onto it for February
January 31 quiz
Evil spirits
Zeus’s head
Dreams
Just got into the last Vault! I’m saving my show n tell and quiz for February.
Hi Lisa,
I think there are a few people who are saving these for February. Its a short month so I don’t know what Virgin Red will handle the points required for VIP.
🙂
Thanks,
The Reverend
100 points short of VIP vault
Any ideas?
Hello Alan,
Have you seen all the suggestions on my hints & tips page?
http://thereverend.co.uk/money/competition/virgin-red-hints-tips-bonus-points/
Thanks,
The Reverend
I’ve made it into VIP on the last day, and can carry the quiz to help with the short month in feb. Thanks to all here for all your help.
2,900 points for January. Thanks for all your hints as usual Reverend! Shame we can’t ‘gift’ points to help people get into final vaults each month. Good luck everyone!
Reverend avid follower for considerable time now.
All hints followed and posted on social media
Still short …
