Win 1 million Virgin Red points

Links on Head for Points may pay us an affiliate commission. A list of partners is here.

Virgin Red has launched a new ‘daily win’ game via the Virgin Red app with a top prize of 1,000,000 Virgin Red points.

There are also 100 instant win prizes to be picked up each day, offering between 200 and 5,000 Virgin Points.

Each daily entry gets you one entry into the grand draw at the end of the two weeks, when one player will win the jackpot. Just think of the number of Gregg’s sausage rolls you could get ……

To enter, open the Virgin Red app and head to the ‘Earn Points’ tab. The competition should be the first item you see.

You are directed away from the Virgin Red app onto a third party website to spin the prize wheel, which is a bit clunky.

Let us know if you pick up a prize, and remember to play each day.

If you are not already a Virgin Red member, you can join here.

Not everyone gets 1000 Aegean miles. I received a €20 voucher for my next flight booking valid until 31 March 21. The flight needs to be priced in euros so UK departures are excluded. I’d much rather have 1000 miles.

Out of the 8 M&M accounts I manage, 7 had 1000 bonus miles but 1 (mine) had the €20 off! I guess it could be useful for a domestic hop or on a OW ATH-LHR.

  Before 31st March 2021?

    Book by 31 March, travel by 31 October.

1000 Aegean miles for me, but nothing on the Virgin spin.
- Alan says:

  Ditto. Miles were handy though as that’s me up over 2k again so can initiate an ALL transfer later in the year 👍

Anyone else having difficulties logging into the Virgin Red app (for the first time)?

Seems to take me out of the app to another page where my keyboard only partially displays
- Chrisasaurus says:
  
  23 Feb23 February 07:40
  
  The page is asking for your email address, sign in is same as website – enter email, get code, enter code
  
  Could try typing it blind and hoping for the best
  - Olly says:
    
    23 Feb23 February 07:46
    
    Thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately it’s only displaying about a quarter of the keyboard on the screen so I can’t even write the full email.

      Try the desktop version? Or try having your phone landscape not portrait?
- johnny_c-l says:

  Keeps taking me in circles, asking for email code then back to sign up/log in again.
  - Chris P says:
    
    23 Feb23 February 09:07
    
    I’ve had the same problem but if you specially Google “Virgin Red log in” it seems to work.
  - johnny_c-l says:

    Worked it out – need to log out of the webpage first then log in via the app.

Having read the abysmal reviews for Virgin Red I don’t think I’ll bother.
- IanM says:

  Good, more chance for the rest of us
  - ChrisA says:
    
    23 Feb23 February 08:36
    
    Yes, in fact I highly advise that nobody else at all bothers with this competition!
    - Rob says:

      I think Rhys and I blew our chance of a prize when we didn’t win yesterday!

      Agree 100%, we have two virgin Red accounts in our household, but over the course of the competition we won nothing, that’s playing twice a day.
Phil says:

Nothing at all from Aegean.
- lumma says:
  
  23 Feb23 February 09:22
  
  Are you sure? It’s right at the bottom of the account screen
  - Phil says:

    Thank you! Found it. That was fiddly to find.

What to do with Eurostar points, in anticipation that they could enter administration fairly soon?

Once France and others go on the ‘red list’, and likely to have travel restrictions longer than places like Greece and Turkey, it’s far from clear that they have enough cash to get through to the next few months.

What’s the best way to protect the points? Transferring to Accor or via that to Iberia removes about two-thirds of the potential value. Any other options>
- Rob says:
  
  23 Feb23 February 09:22
  
  Book a ticket and then cancel it later? If you had a ticket booked, I think the administrators would protect that – at least a bigger chance than protecting your points balance.
- Rich says:
  
  23 Feb23 February 09:56
  
  Book a ticket worth >£100, and pay the taxes with a credit card? Not sure if S75 would apply though.
  
  Is Eurostar going to fail though? I would have thought UK FR BE governments would eventually step in?
  - The real John says:
    
    23 Feb23 February 10:37
    
    French yes, UK no.

OT: Rocketmiles 5k promo has been extended until 31 March 21 https://www.rocketmiles.com/rm/daydream/en/
- Rob says:
  
  23 Feb23 February 09:19
  
  Yes it has. It was actually extended in the first week of January but I didn’t bother to write about it. I might dig it out again now there is some hope of travel.
