I have been given a £40 Virgin wines "Discovery Club" voucher by simply supliments. I have redeemed it and I will only have to pay £6 postage on 12 bottles of wine. They want my card details to pay for postage BUT I am not sure if there is a catch. They state that I am not obliged to buy any of their future offers. As They won't let me pay via Paypal, defaulting to having to give card details - is there a catch ?

Thanks.

  • I'm sure there is no catch. If there isn't anything in the terms and conditions then you have nothing to worry about.

    Virgin Wines are a reputable retailer so go for it. Seems a good deal

    As they have your credit card details, don't they send you more wine every so many months you have to pay for ?
  • I would check the wording carefully - the £40 voucher is often given away and is subject to a min £79.99 spend - the min start off case for the discovery club is £89.99 (so £49.99 + p&p). Then every 3 months they send you another 12 bottles (full price £89.99 + p&p).

    Thanks.

    I think the key phrase to be wary of is "Discovery Club". Virgin Wine's Discovery Club is a 'club' that sends out wine every quarter - from their website:
    Every 3 months and at Christmas we ship your next 12 bottle case to you!
    So if your offer includes the words Discovery Club you're probably signing up to it!

    You might be able to opt out immediately, or might be forced to take an extra case in 3 months time as a minimum - I've no idea what their rules are - ring/email them and ask if it's not obvious on the website.

    It says "minimum spend after voucher discount is £79.99"
