Virgin Money Wine Switch

[Sarah]

Get a free luxury 15-bottle case of wine (worth £180) from Virgin Wines, delivered to your door.

Feast on a 2.02% AER (2.00% gross per annum variable) interest rate, paid monthly, on the first £1,000 of your Virgin Money Current Account balance.

Looks good - note that it needs 2 x DD to qualify and leave £1000 in a linked 0.5% savings account!

Application was a bit of a chore because of technical problems - however, I'm in!

[Sarah]

Switch completed last Friday. I've now received my voucher code and ordered my wine!

[Sarah]

Wine now delivered - that was quick (next day)!

I'll probably leave £1000 in the current account since 2.02% is a good rate.

Not going to keep anything in the 0.5% savings account, though.

[Sarah]

This account has now been renamed to 'M Plus' and still pays 2.02% on the first £1000; although it appears they're dropping the interest rate on the linked savings account to 0.35% AER from 27 April 2021.

The switching offer is now a 12 bottle case of wine (worth £138). They've also added a £50 charity donation.

[Sarah]

The incentive has now changed from wine to a £150 virgin experiences gift card.

Now 15,000 red points; which can still be spent on wine, alternatively on sausage rolls, or other stuff...
