    signed up and spend $100 via Apple Pay on 12th , settled on 14th but no sign of 20000 point. Still showing 0

    Anyone actually received the 20000 point? And how many days after the transaction settle?

    Thx

        Now I am waiting my 5000 refer bonus. Not sure how long it will take

        • ja912son on 16/04/2022 - 11:37

          I did exactly the same via Google pay to Revolut on 13/4/22 and just saw I received 8 pts. Start having a bad feeling about this now…..

          • BargainsGrabber on 16/04/2022 - 15:54

            @ja912son: Same, my Revolut went through on Apple Pay, transaction on Virgin Go went from Pending to Cleared, still no bonus points received

            • hellousyd on 16/04/2022 - 16:04

              @BargainsGrabber: Same. I will give them a couple of days. Plus it’s a public holiday anyway. Should hopefully work out

            • ja912son on 16/04/2022 - 17:14

    • bonezAU on 29/04/2022 - 09:43

      Revolut worked fine for me, I just hope it will count towards my $100 purchases. I had made 3 small tx with Google Pay which left me with about $71 to spend and I did that full $71 top up to make a total of $101 spend. It changed from pending to settled yesterday, just waiting for the bonus points now.

      • bbking18 on 14/06/2022 - 00:43

        Lol. It’s 8 points per transaction and not the dollar amount. I knew it was too good to be true. Could’ve laundered money while earning points at the same time.

  • test8888 on 16/04/2022 - 19:09

    "spend $100 or more" is this required to spend at least $100 in first transaction?

      No, you only need to spend $100 in total.

  • Moo Deng on 16/04/2022 - 22:29

    Anyone confirm that if you lock your account out it auto unlocks after 24 hours? Call centre said there was no one in the transaction account team working (despite their website advertising phone support open 24/7), but also mentioned about the auto unlock..

      oh geez, I hope so.
      I just locked my account coz I entered the verification code instead of the temporary password (like a lot of other people).
      Tried calling and just got a recording to leave a msg. waited for the beep, and then "Mailbox Full". I get that it's easter, so I'll try tomorrow morning but reading here, I don't fancy the wait. urgh.

      • Moo Deng on 18/04/2022 - 15:12

          You'll have to call I'm afraid, the call centre were polite but I had to wait forever for them to pick up. They did give a 1,000 points goodwill gesture.

    Wow. Has the be the most painless free money I’ve ever gotten. Opened account in a couple of mins. Download digital card to wallet app immediately. Spent $100 at Coles and waited a couple of days for the transaction to process. Bonus points show up straight away and redeemed immediately without issue.

    Only annoying thing is there is no website to log in to and the only way to change accounts is to delete the app and re download it (from what I could see anything on IOS. Logout just logs out but keeps your “account” saved.

    • everydayimbargaining on 22/04/2022 - 23:40

    • ja912son on 21/04/2022 - 06:29

      It's a debit card. You have to have funds in it, before you can use it, regardless of Google pay or Apple Pay.

    Looking into this and found:
    - 8 Virgin Money Points for every purchase, direct debit and BPAY payment when you meet the Monthly Criteria.
    - Monthly criteria for 18-24 years old: Deposit $1,000 or more from another financial institution (such as your salary) into your Virgin Money Go Account and make at least 5 purchases, direct debits or BPAY payments which settle in that month (not pending).
    - Monthly criteria for over 25 years old: Deposit $2,000 or more from another financial institution (such as your salary) into your Virgin Money Go Account and make at least 5 purchases, direct debits or BPAY payments which settle in that month (not pending).

    So after the initial referral and welcome bonus, unless I deposit at least 2k and make at least 5 valid transactions per month, I wouldn't be earning any more virgin money points…

  • Maglia Nera on 24/04/2022 - 09:21

      You can, but you'll be charged a $10 fee for overdrawn account so I wouldn't recommend it. For more information refer to their fees and charges webpage

      I did payid transfer yesterday and the money went into Virgin Money account instantly. Think transfers under a certain amount, I'm guessing $500, is instant.

    Is this offer valid for existing Virgin Go customers? i.e. Can I open another account and access the deal?

  • Craze on 24/04/2022 - 13:20

    Just signed up but chose the wrong account (rookie mistake!)- no issues with ID verification but had to close the saver account and open the Go account instead. Logging into the app was a little tricky, the verification code took a while to come through so I waited for a bit before trying again and got through fine.

    Can anyone confirm if this will work with BeemIt payments? Added the card to Googlepay.

      According to this comment, they got their 8 points 2 days after purchase, then the 20,000 bonus points a day after that i.e. 3 days after purchase.

      I purchased on Sat and today Mon I can only see 8 points also. But I would expect the bonus points to come through tomorrow or day after..

            Also noticed I got credited bonus 20,000 bonus tonight for my purchase on Sat, sooner than I expected so that's good at least.

                @Iluvfreebies: There's are gift cards available for many merchants so it will comes down to the individual's needs. Some of these merchants I never purchase from so I wouldn't consider redeeming for their gift cards.

                Personally I am eyeing the GC for Woolworths (redeem 17,865 points for $100 GC), Coles (redeem 17,955 points for $100 GC),Amazon (redeem 17,955 points for $100 GC) or eBay (redeem 18,050 points for $100 GC).

        In the Virgin app, go to Manage cards, click on the Go Account, then add card to Google Pay. I don't remember if I had to wait for the card to be generated, but I'm pretty sure I didn't need to receive it first.

        • Wadiyatalkinabowt on 30/05/2022 - 14:08

          Yes, thank you, I'd looked at that part of the app, but the applicable information doesn't appear there and no GooglePay option. I've had a look at this comment section and seems it's a known problem. Tried the "fixes" and no good. Probably just have to wait for the physical card and go from there.
          Cheers for helping out.

  • bonezAU on 26/04/2022 - 23:38

    Do I have to spend $100 before 30th April, or just open an account by 30th April and spend $100 within the following 30 days?

    • MiscOzB on 27/04/2022 - 02:43

      The latter.

      Welcome Bonus: Offer ends 30 April 2022. New Virgin Money Go Account customers will receive 20,000 bonus Virgin Money Points when they spend $100 or more in the first 30 days on their debit card (settled transactions, not pending) from account opening.

      • bonezAU on 27/04/2022 - 02:44

        That's what I thought, but just wanted someone else's take on the wording. Thanks mate.
