<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nVirgin Red has long offered referral bonuses for new members, and the latest promotion is the best one yet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Sign up via my referral link<\/a> by 30 November<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Earn at least one transaction credit within 18 months<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Both you and I will receive 6,000 bonus points<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The standard referral bonus is only 1,000 points, so this is a particularly generous offer. You’ll need a UK or US mobile number to register, and remember to use a UK address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are plenty of ways to earn points, including buying train tickets, purchasing wine, renting cars and shopping through Virgin’s online shopping portal. Note that, according to the terms, transfers from partner loyalty programmes do not count as qualifying activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The quickest option is probably to buy a train ticket, although you’ll need to download the Virgin Trains Ticketing app. Simply purchase a \u00a31 train ticket \u2013 you don’t actually need to travel, if you know what I mean! You’ll also earn an additional 9 points per pound spent. If you have a Railcard, the ticket can be even cheaper. According to reader reports, even tickets costing less than \u00a31 can qualify for points.<\/p>\n\n\n

For example, Air France and KLM awards within 600 miles cost just 4,000 points:<\/p>\n\n\n
