If you’re already enjoying the benefits of Virgin Red, now’s the perfect time to spread the word and earn 2000 Virgin Points when you refer a friend. It only takes a few taps to get started, and it could lead to thousands of extra points in your account.

Here’s how it works:

What is a "Qualifying Earn Transaction"?

"Qualifying Earn Transaction" means any purchase or activity that earns Virgin Points through Virgin Red, as shown in the 'Earn' section of the Virgin Red app or website. This does not include: purchasing Virgin Points directly, converting points from other loyalty programs, bonus point awards (such as referral bonuses), prize draws, competitions, or games.

What Are Virgin Points Good For?

Virgin Points aren’t just another loyalty currency - they’re your passport to a world of rewards. Whether you’re saving for something big or spending on the go, there’s plenty you can do:

• Cut the cost of travel with discounts on train tickets

• Support a cause with charitable donations

• Upgrade your night out with cinema snacks, drinks or streaming vouchers

• Plan unforgettable trips with savings on flights, hotels and even entire holiday packages

The more you earn, the more options you unlock. And best of all, Virgin Points never expire as long as you’re an active member.

Where might your points take you?

Limited-Time Offer: Double the Points, Double the Fun

Usually, you’d get 1,000 Virgin Points for each successful referral. But during this special summer promotion (28th July – 22nd August 2025), you’ll receive 2,000 points for every friend who signs up and starts earning – and they’ll receive 2,000 points too.

That’s a serious boost to your points balance, perfect for planning a last-minute summer escape or getting ahead on your autumn travel goals.

Important Details to Keep in Mind

• You must be a Virgin Red member aged 18+ to refer friends
