Who wants to be a Virgin Points Millionaire?

Virgin Money has launched a new prize draw to offer current account customers the chance to win one million Virgin Points to spend with Virgin Red. 

Each month between May and September, one lucky customer will win one million Virgin Points – that’s enough for a safari, a stay at a luxury hotel such as Mahali Mzuri (voted the number one hotel in the world by the Travel + Leisure Awards 2021) or flights across the globe. 

A further 25 customers will also win a 12-bottle case of Virgin Wines worth £150 in every monthly prize draw.

As well as the prize draw, new customers switching to the Virgin Money M Plus Account and Virgin Money Club M Account will also receive a bonus of 20,000 Virgin Points to spend with Virgin Red, thanks to Virgin Money’s latest current account switching offer (terms apply). Current account customers benefit from 2.02% AER variable on balances up to £1,000, plus 1% AER variable on your linked savings account on balances up to £25,000 and 0.50% AER variable on balances over £25,000.

How to enter

To enter the prize draw, log in to your Virgin Money mobile banking app, tap discover, then click the ‘Exclusive Rewards’ tile. You’ll be asked for a few basic details and need to log in to your mobile app and make at least one transaction each month from May to September to be eligible for each prize draw.

Hugh Chater, Chief Commercial Officer at Virgin Money says: “We’re excited to reward new and existing current account customers with this exclusive prize draw in partnership with Virgin Red. We’re looking forward to finding our five Virgin Points millionaires and seeing how they will turn a million points into treats, trips and once in a lifetimes with Virgin Red.”

What could you do with the 20,000 Virgin Points boost?

The 20,000 Virgin Points boost means travellers could get a return flight to Barbados, the Bahamas or St Lucia*, or music lovers can get a Virgin Crosley record player for 20,000 Virgin Points, or four lots of Sofar Sounds tickets for two (19,000 Virgin Points). 

Virgin Red is Virgin’s Group-wide rewards club that turns everyday spending into points that unlock far more rewards, with hundreds of options to choose from.

For the frazzled parents, the little things are often the big things – and small wins go a long way. Make sure you’re first in line to see the latest releases, 20,000 Virgin Points could earn you 14 VUE cinema tickets or enjoy a six-month Rebel Book Club membership (11,200 Virgin Points) plus a paintballing day for four (7,750 Virgin Points). Alternatively, treat yourself to a 12-bottle case of Virgin Wines to enjoy from your sofa for 19,000 Virgin Points.

With almost 200 rewards, members won’t be short of options to spend their points on – whether it’s the smaller things that make the everyday better like a sausage roll, hot drink or cinema ticket or a bigger experience like enjoying a concert from the Virgin Red Room or a trip to Barbados – the possibilities are endless!”
