£50 Just Eat voucher reward is pointless

About a month ago, I signed up for the 12 month student broadband package which comes with a £50 Just Eat voucher.
Yesterday I went to check my university emails and found an email had come through from 3rd October but because of university email security system, it had taken 7 days to be marked as safe as an external email.

When trying to claim my voucher, it says ‘this event is full’, and despite contact with virgin over the phone and web chat, nothing could be done because they told me the voucher is only valid for one day and had expired despite only reaching my email address 2 days ago.

Not sure why they offer an award if there’s a one expiry and there was nothing I could find which states a one day expiry. Make sure not to bother going with this deal if there is any sort of system which filters out external email addresses and virgin support were not helpful and kept telling me to go between phone contact and web chat.

  • I installed my broadband on the 15 September and have yet to be sent an email about activating this £50 voucher. The deadline for activating it is the 30th October yet when I try and call for help the robot assistant thing gets me nowhere. Was just wondering how I could get this set up as the help online from virgin has not been useful.

        Hello, I have the same problem. I have had no email yet and want to ensure I can use the deal before the deal expires. Thanks

  • I am also having the same issue. It has been over a month since my WiFi was installed and I have received no voucher …

      Hi, 

      I have a similar problem. My voucher was e-mailed to me 3 days ago. I click on the link, fill in the information (I make sure that the e-mail is the same as my account), and then I get this error:

      "Sorry it’s not yet time to claim your gift card - it can take up to 35 days after your Virgin Media broadband is installed for your gift card to be ready. Please come back in a few days and ensure you enter the same .ac.uk student email address that’s registered on your Virgin Media broadband account. [Err 333]"

      Not sure why an e-mail would be sent out stating "redeem your voucher" and it is not ready to be redeemed. Doesn't make much sense.

      Hi I have had the same issues, when i first got the email come through it kept coming up as an error when i tried to claim it, so i tried it a couple times again over the last few weeks and today after it finally recognised my account details it has come up with the same message, ‘this event is full’ with no further elaboration 

      i was wondering if it would be possible to have a message back to receive some help on getting it sorted 😁

      I have not received mine either and no one is responding, any advice? It is very unprofessional from the company to lure students in with a voucher and then just not give them.

      Same thing happened to me I was told by virgin on the phone that I could use my personal email and the gift card would be sent but nothing has been. It’s really the only reason I chose the WiFi which has been cutting.
