Free Toshiba TV or £145 bill credit help

Pretty much as the title says. I signed up on Saturday 9th august. 
I chose the Toshiba tv, but when I’ve received the pre contract info - my broadband and tv package is listed but no mention of the offer in the paperwork.

I’ve received the e billing email so I’ve signed up for the online account, and again can’t see any mention of the Toshiba tv anywhere.

this is pretty much the only reason I signed up to virgin media,I was going to sign up elsewhere so I want to make sure it is all ok before I fully proceed with installation 

Is anyone able to check my account please? Thanks

    VM won't recognise the offer until your broadband is installed and past the time you can cancel. 

    Then they will send you back to whoever signed you up.

    There are several threads here about "free stuff" not turning up.  I can't ever remember seeing any proper resolution being posted?  Most of them, as noted by jpeg1​ , are told to chase up the company that is promoting the offers.

    It would be good if someone who has received a free gift to post a reply and let us know?

    Hi Leilacrowder thanks for posting although we're sorry to hear of the concerns you've raised here.

    It can take up to 42 days for the gift to be with you following installation, so it is a while until you may receive this yet.

    Additionally, did you place the order through us or via a third party?

    Many thanks

    This earlier thread has details of gift qualifications.

    Hi Leilacrowder,

    Do you satisfy all the criteria for the promotion?

    Are you a new customer and on VM Full Fibre or VM Fibre?  Looking at the wording in the offer, it isn't available in Full Fibre areas.

    Lowest Ever Monthly Cost: Claim based on the lowest ever monthly price offered as of the date of this offer. New customers on eligible bundles. Virgin Fibre areas. Subject to restrictions & credit check. No set up fee, online only. Terms apply.

    Did you sign up online via the VM website to one of the following included deals ?

    The Bigger Movies M350+, Bigger Sports M350+, Biggest TV M500+, or the Mega Volt bundle.

    The offer isn't available to Flex customers (those not signing up for a 24 months TV contract), or customers on different bundles to those listed above, or customers that registered over the phone.
