New Virgin Mobile PAYG Bonus Minutes

I've noticed Virgin have recently introduced a new offer where you can earn 5 free minutes a day, all you do is make 5 minutes of calls a day and the next 5 are free. You have to sign up online or via 789 from your mobile.

    Thanks,

    For all that may be interested, you only have to tick an acceptance box, no need to answer lots of personal questions. :)

    I must be blind because I cannot see this option among the 13 on the LHS menu. I assume I am looking in the right place. It's the one that says such things as "View Recent Payments" and "View Bills Online"

    That's not on my menue. The 4th option on my menu is "Order an E-topup card". Could it be because I am on the PAYG Direct Debit plan ?

    Edit.

    It looks as though I was right. I have a second Virgin PAYG number which I don't use, and is not registered as a DD PAYG number. If I click on that account then there is the option for the bonus minutes. I wonder why us customers on the DD plan are excluded ? It's not as though we are on a monthly contract, we are on PAYG.

    tristontana,

    in your position, I would write them an e-mail. It is not fair that DD PAYG customers are not included.

    Somebody on another forum (who supposedly works for Virgin Mobile) has answered my query. To quote :-

    Direct Debit customers have different advantages to being on direct debit - They have half price minimal call charge, free voicemail plus, more countries for roaming to be set in...
