Got me worried now, I ordered on the 22nd Dec but no email as yet.

if you go on virgin wines website, there is a phone number. if you're quick there maybe someone there today.

Just reading your post and a knock on the door, man in an unmarked white van with 15 bottles of wine!
No DHL and no email.

Hmm, is there a black market in giving away free wine now Not being a wine drinker, I'm using this freebie as an opportunity to try some and see what I like. I got some advice many moons ago from a friend to go for "a red with a zed". It rhymes, so it must be right  

Consequently, a bottle of Spanish Rioja going by the name of "Finca Manzanos" is nearly finished now.

I'm a real ale drinker myself, we ain't far from the Bass brewery, my favourite.
Cracked open a bottle of Black Pig white from the case tonight, must say in went down well with my meal. Could get used to this.

We received our 2 boxes just before Christmas.
14 red. 14 white. 2 fizzy.

Could not have come at a worse time HIC!

And still waiting to here the fate of my application since sending in I.D on the 26 November. 

After uploading I.D documents on 16 December, I received '....we have some news on your application' email on 17 December.

Best that you call them to ask what is going on. Some applications seem to get stuck and need manual intervention.

@regular posters: what happened to the mse 'give them a call' animation. Not available with new system? Too corny for this day and age maybe?

Just tagging on to ask whether the wine delivery has any documentation saying 'here's your reward' or whether it looks like a Virgin wine order delivery?

Account switched on 23 December and had my notification of the wine a few days ago. All seems to have gone smoothly so far.
I'm not sure if the MSE info is just out of date but this doesn't make sense to me

Virgin Money also opens a linked savings account paying 0.5% AER variable for you when you get this account – you'll need to add £1,000 to it to get the wine offer. But as it can be easily beaten on rate, don't keep the £1,000 in there longer than that

The best rate I can see on MSE is 0.55% and others for 0.5% too, so the phrase "easily beaten" doesn't seem logical to me
I'm not sure why you'd bother for 0.05% when you have the convenience of money to transfer to your current account.
Is it just that the MSE guide for Virgin has now become outdated?

Yes!!!

If you mean the actual package delivered, the box is red emblazoned with Virgin wines on it.
You get notified on the day of delivery via email that it will arrive with a 1 hour time slot. I got nothing previous to this.

As I said in an earlier post, no email for me, wine just arrived in a big white van, but yes was in a nice red box.

Had my third email with the wine code today telling me to claim it. Tempted but we've already started drinking the wine as it arrived last week.

Is it always the same code? I'm feeling left out as we only got one code and the wine hasn't arrived yet. It's a joint account and they only emailed my husband even though I set up the account. Rude 😂
