I wrote a few days ago about how much I liked the new, straightforward and neatly consolidated Virgin loyalty scheme, and the Virgin Red app. In particular, the Virgin Red app has gone from a complicated irrelevance, to a key way of earning proper miles to get you flying with Virgin Atlantic.

So, any opportunities to earn points with the Virgin Red app are to now be taken seriously, and one such promo has just arrived.

Who Wants To Be A Points Millionaire?

If you log in to the Virgin Red app, one of the very first promos you should see when you click on “Earn Points” is the following:

When you click on the link to this promo, you’ll be taken to a wheel which you then click to spin.

The wheel offers instant points prizes, and if you don’t win these points, you will instead get an entry into the prize draw for a million points:

As you can see from both of the above images, the wheel lets you instantly win between 200 and 5,000 Virgin points.

You can spin the wheel once daily, until 7 March.

Should you bother?

I would give this a go. Your chances of becoming a points millionaire are, let’s be realistic, pretty slim. However, while I can’t guarantee anything, my experience of these types of promos is that you often do get an instant win if you persevere.

Given that we value Virgin points at around a penny each, the instant win prizes are worth a daily trip to the Virgin Red app.
