    Mine was delivered by City Link.

    On the saga of using your Egg card I just spent 15 minutes on the phone with Egg. I ordered on 30/12 but the charge doesn't show on the card until the 6/1. The transaction actually states VIRGIN WINES EGG NORWICH so maybe it does record if you clicked through EGG otherwise why would the word EGG show?

    Anyway, spoke to a nice guy called Chris who said that I am only due to get 10% as the transaction shows up in January but he would add a manual 10% back onto my card. This will all show on my next statement. So My original wine order of £30.89 becomes £24.71 for 13 bottles. £1.90/each Hic.... ;D
  • oh, you don't have to click thru, it's just using your egg card that does it! (at least thats what a custard support guy told me from egg)

    Bleughbleugh, I understand you have to click the link. I actually DID link the link, but they wont give me the rebate, because they say I didn't, even though it's on my statement that I paid for the Virgin case with my EGG card!
    I started off with nothing and I've still got most of it left.

    Right got this to work - I think you need to come at afresh - I was clicking on my own affiliate link, which might explain some of the problems people are having with Egg which is a glorified affiliate link?

    Anyway I got a case for £27.90 (inc delivery) - its a dodgy use of the powergen voucher because the total order value isn't over £50 - maybe the three expensive bottles 'fools' the system?

    Cheers to the OP (I hope my affiliate cookie gets triggered!).
  • Many thanks for the future bad heads ;)
    I managed to find two seperate wines on a special from £9.99 down to a pound.I ended up with £120 worth of wine for £21 :P

    Was this a recent order? I'm trying to find some cheaper wine but can't see much else other than the £1 specials limited to 3 per order. What was the name of the other specials billydwarf?

  • Go for it. Have just saved £126 on a case using the £1 offer and the £25 voucher (putting in the code and password does work).
    1 bottle(s) of Churchaven Groenkloof Pinotage 2003
    2 bottle(s) of Trentham Estate Pinot Noir 01/02
    3 bottle(s) of Langhorne Creek Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2001
    4 bottle(s) of Rare Print Series Eden Valley Chardonnay 2002
    1 bottle(s) of Cave de Lugny Bourgogne Blanc 'Vieilles Vignes' 02/03
    1 bottle(s) of Cantine Foraci Inzolia Chardonnay 2003

    Subtotal = £56.91
    Delivery = £4.99
    Account Balance = £25.00
    AMOUNT CHARGED = £36.90

    The Rare Print Series Eden Valley Chardonnay 2002
    was a snip too - £5.99 instead of £11.99.
    Also got a £20 voucher because I had "spent" over £50.
    Plus in the confirming email - another £20 voucher for somebody else to use with a first order (another screen name and alternative credit card). ;D
  • After ordering a case in my name I went in the next night and ordered one in hubby's name. Had to use a different email address (hubby's work). Both cases arrived today and are now overflowing our wine rack. Total cost £47 for 24 bottles rrping at around £200 - actually lost count of the savings when I got to that point. Super service, ordered 4th and 5th and both arrived today!
  • Mine arrived yesterday ;D, the Chateau Franc Cardinal Bordeaux 2000 (for a pound) was top notch! Oh well will have to try another soon!

    Happy glugging ::)
