It says: Online Purchase from Virgin Trains - 2.02%
Can I assume that I get cashback on all tickets bought on the site, even if it's a non-VT route?
Do you also get Nectar points via this route as well - so 3.02% in all?
I also see that the 2.02% includes a "10% bonus for Plus members and 1% for classic"
Yes points are given if your journeys are on a Virgin Train along the West Coast Mainline (whether for the whole journey or just part of it), as per the Nectar T&Cs in
https://www.virgintrains.co.uk/experience/rewards/nectar
So I guess not in my case, as I live in the Great Western Main Line area.
The best case that works for me so far (after Hull Train's been removed) is using the TPE's website, which gives me 1.01% and Nectar points all ALL booked journeys, so in essence 2.01%.
If you're doing the points collection thing for Virgin Airmiles, look at using their "shops away" service, you can effectively double-dip on miles for virgin travel (points for the purchase from SA, and the points from VT for booking direct). You can also use this to get some points through travel on other operators (I appear to have recieved SA points for a SWT journey booked on the VTWC website)
I just used virgin to buy tickets, but found that for 2 return journeys it has given me two collection codes (rather than 1 like hull trains did in the past) which is a little annoying given the southern TVM touchscreens are painful to use.
Yes it tracked, but I just went on there last night to book another one and the status has changed to "Declined".Did it track? Or have you waited months onto to receive an email saying it has been declined?
Normally, they track automatically and then come back as confirmed a couple of months later. I have had problems with another trainline powered site that offered cashback though Quidco (EMT) that when the purchase didn't track automatically and was then declined when I submitted a claim. I am wondering if this is the problem you have had? Or you had your purchases track and then get declined still a couple of months later.
My most recent purchases (the most recent being on 25 July) have tracked. Although I have not received payouts on them yet (i.e. they have not yet come back as Confirmed). I am waiting for a payout going back to the start of May still.
Have Virgin started declining cashback.....even though they are still listed on the websites? Had my most recent purchase declined (and have contacted support about it), even though previous transactions seemed to go through fine (haven't been paid yet though). The most recent reviews on Quidco are complaining about it.
Its a pity Trainline charges booking fees.
Although if you make a large enough purchase the 5% cashback will cover the fees...
...and make sure you select multiple TOD codes so Trainline get hit several times with collection fees
