Good Black Friday deals with Virgin Red

Virgin Red has launched some non-flight Black Friday deals and, to be honest, they look decent! If you have some Virgin Points then take a look.

Virgin Red Room at The O2

We covered the Virgin Red Room VIP box at The O2 in London here. An image is below.

Tickets for some upcoming events have been reduced:

• Disney on Ice (various dates) – 15,000 Virgin Points for two
• keshi (4th December) – 20,000 Virgin Points for two
• Falling In Reverse (16th December) – 20,000 Virgin Points for two
• ATEEZ (28th January) – 15,000 Virgin Points for two
• Strictly Come Dancing (9th February) – 30,000 Virgin Points for two

Virgin Wines

12-bottle cases from Virgin Wines are reduced from 20,000 points to 15,000 Virgin Points.

Virgin Experience Days 

I’m usually a bit cynical about ‘events’ gift vouchers BUT there is some genuine value in the three offers which have been reduced for Black Friday.

You are getting over 1p per Virgin Point compared to buying a voucher for cash, and the cash vouchers already represent a good discount on buying the product or service directly.

Choose from:

• Five course meal with a cocktail for two at Marco Pierre White’s London Steakhouse Co on Middlesex Street – 5,500 Virgin Points (reduced from 11,000 Virgin Points)
• Indulgent spa day with three treatments for two at Bannatyne Health Clubs – 15,000 Virgin Points (reduced from 30,000 Virgin Points)
• ‘Unlimited Sushi for Two’ at the two inamo branches in London’s West End – 4,250 Virgin Points (reduced from 8,500 Virgin Points)

You can redeem for all of these items via the Virgin Red app. If you are not a member of Virgin Red you need to download the app (here’s a link with 1,000 bonus points) and link it to your Virgin Flying Club account.
