30% bonus Virgin Points from your Tesco Clubcard vouchers, but you'll need to switch off auto-exchange
Virgin Red has launched a 30% bonus on Tesco Clubcard voucher exchanges, running from today until 30 June 2026. The bonus stacks on top of the standard 1 Clubcard point = 2 Virgin Points, meaning that 1,000 Clubcard points will come out as 2,600 Virgin Points instead of 2,000. But there's obviously a catch. Manual exchange only, and you've probably set them to auto-convert If you took advantage of the 5,000 Virgin Point sign-up bonus Virgin and Tesco ran a few times in the la

The original version of Sparks gave you points for shopping, but you couldn't spend them. Instead, you'd hit thresholds

Earn Double Virgin Points on Train Tickets, and 2,000 Bonus Virgin Points When You Buy a Railcard
Virgin Trains Ticketing is running two offers until 19th April that are worth knowing about if you collect Virgin Points and travel by train. But before we get into it I need to clear something up. Virgin Trains Ticketing works with any operator across the UK. It's a common misconception that the booking system is only for Virgin Trains (even though Virgin Trains hasn't been a thing since 2019), but I use it where I live for South West Trains all the time. If you haven't used
