Virgin Red Rock Your World

  • Sorry to have a moan as I love this forum but I’m so fed up with Virgin Red. I go into the app every day & complete this or that, the weekly quiz & show & tell but am only verified on Virgin Atlantic.
    My chance (or so I thought) came yesterday to get verified on Virgin Teains as I have a trip to Birmingham in February. I set my account up & booked my entire journey,which does include another train company & the London Underground, all on the virgin trains website. But still I can’t get verified! Raise a ticket through the app to customer support & hVe now been told that I can’t get verified on virgin trains as my journey did not start/finish on just a Virgin train line - what a complete waste of time. I don’t know why I bother with the app now as they get free market research from me & I get nothing in return - I have never won a single thing.
    Sorry to be a downer but seriously fed up & wish I’d used The Trainline instead to book my travel. ��

    @Emma6766 that's very strange about the trains. I know it's says verification is based on a Virgin Train journey, but thought I'd check for myself.

    I booked a train on my local line last Monday (with Scotrail going in to Glasgow for last Thursday). I tried to verify first thing on Tuesday morning and it didn't work. I picked up my tickets from the machine shortly after and was able to get verified on Tuesday afternoon. It happened instantly.

    Two questions for you -
    1) Have you printed off your tickets yet?
    2) Is your email address the same for both Virgin Red and Virgin Trains? Mine are different. After trying my Virgin Red password, I realised I needed to use the email address that I had registered for Virgin Trains in order to get verified.

    PS don't tell Virgin Red that I got in the back door, lol.

    I got verified by registering with VirginEast , most probably a while ago I was using trainline to book and travelling on Virgin East. I never used their site at any point to book.


    If its the main Virgin it may be different as I cannot verify with them, even though I am registered as I have not taken a journey.

    @Borntoshop You can only get verified with Virgin Trains once you've made a purchase from it.
  • @ Gizasmum. Haven’t picked up my tickets yet so will try verifying again once I have got them. I have used the same email for both VirginRed & Virgin Trains. Keep fingers crossed

    Has anyone here actually won anything from these monthly vaults?
  • I’ve been doing this ever day for well over 6 months. Have so far won 2 tubs of ice cream and 2 cinema tickets. 😝
    Am holding out for a big win
