Virgin Media broadband rewards: Up to £75 bill credit

Dan Howdle • September 16th, 2024

Virgin Media isn't available to every home in the UK. In fact, only around 60% of UK homes can get it. However, if you're lucky enough to live somewhere you can, it represents one of the most straightforward ways to get very, very fast broadband. Here we take a look at the best Virgin Media broadband deal that offer some form of cashback reward for signing up as a new customer.

Virgin Media broadband with rewards

The situation with cashback rewards with Virgin Media is a little unusual. Its main competitors tend to put the focus on cashback reward cards you have to manually claim at a set time after you're up and running. Virgin Media on the other hand tends to usually have one form of sale or another on at any given time, offering lower monthly bills than the 'standard price'.

Virgin Media also offers offer cashback rewards in addition to reduced monthly costs. Rather than taking the form of either a reward card you can spend anywhere, or a gift card you have to spend with a specific retailer, Virgin Media offers its cashback in the form of bill credit. The money is simply taken off your bill.

More rarely, and usually exclusive to their broadband and TV bundles, Virgin sometimes also offers a choice of bill credit or free gift. The gift usually being something electronic, with anything from a flatscreen TV to and Amazon Echo or even a video doorbell being offered recently.

You won't find the current crop of bill credit or gift offers on the Virgin Media website, however. These deals are exclusive to us at BestBroadbandDeals.co.uk, so in order to take advantage of one of them you'll have to click through to the Virgin Media deal from here.

You can see every deal available from Virgin Media right now, including any bill credit and gift offers, in our complete comparison page. For now though, here are the best deals available right now that come with cashback rewards.

M125 Fibre Broadband

£50 Bill Credit, no upfront cost

Virgin Media's M125 Fibre Broadband package actually offers an average download speed of 132Mbps – slightly higher than the package name suggests (which is something of theme with Virgin Media – they tend to under promise and over deliver). That's coupled with upload speeds of around 20Mbps. As well as the £50 Bill Credit, Virgin Media is currently waiving its set-up fee, which until relatively recently was a whopping £35. There's no phone line with this deal, but you can pay extra to add one on if that's important to you.

You'll get everything with this deal that you do with Virgin's most popular M125 package, and quite a bit more. You'll get faster download and upload speeds (264Mbps and 25Mbps respectively), doubling the download speed, which will suit larger households and is especially advisable if anyone in your household is a serious gamer. You won't get a phone line here either, but again, if that's something you need you can add it into your bundle as you go. As with the M125 deal, you'll get a £70 Bill Credit, so close to no bills at all for the first couple of months.

M350 Fibre Broadband

£75 Bill Credit, no upfront cost

For really fast broadband, short of going slightly overboard and ordering an M500 (516Mbps) or Gig1 deal (1.1Gbps), Virgin Media's M350 is in that comfy spot where you have epically fast speeds capable of literally anything you throw at it (362Mbps average), without the associated high cost of a flagship product. You'll also see much faster upload speeds (36Mbps average), there's no upfront cost, and currently there's a £75 Bill Credit. So again, more than enough credit to pay the bill for a few months.

M500 Fibre Broadband

, no upfront cost

This might be the absolute sweet spot of Virgin Media's broadband only packages. You're going to pay a bit more than their lower speed packages, but for most households switching to this, it's really is going to provide speeds so much faster than they've been used to that it's worth every penny. You'll see download speeds of 516Mbps or more and uploads at about 52Mbps, which, if you're coming from a conventional FTTC connection, could be close to ten times what you're used to. That's impressive. But you'll still be saving a lot compared to Virgin's highest speed services which now go up to 2Gbps (and frankly, we don't think anybody really needs that). And right now this is available with a , so again, that means no bills at all for the first couple of months, and even the third one will be heavily reduced.

Virgin Media Broadband and TV bundles

Much like the Virgin Media broadband-only deals above, there are occasional bill credits, free gifts and reduced monthly cost offers when you choose a broadband and TV bundle. Right now Virgin's focus is on price reductions, and in that area there's one stand out deal we'd like to draw your attention to.

Biggest Combo TV Bundle

£200 Bill Credit

Right now, Virgin Media's Biggest Combo TV Bundle is, we believe, excellent value. It's £78.99 a month, comes with a huge £200 bill credit (or you can choose a 43" HiSense TV) and there are no no up-front or installation costs. For that you'll see excellent download speeds of over 500Mbps, with uploads over 50Mbps, and more than 210 TV channels (including Sky Cinema and Sky Sports options). There's also Sky Entertainment and a Netflix subscription thrown in. All told, that's a lot for the money and probably the best value we're aware of right now when it comes to broadband and TV packages.

Bigger Combo Bundle + Movies

£150 Bill Credit or Eufy doorbell & security camera

At £60.99 per month, this is the cheapest of Virgin Media's current broadband and TV bundle special offers. Yet it comes with the same choice of a £150 bill credit or Eufy video doorbell as their more expensive bundles. So that bill credit would mean you'll pay nothing until month three, and even that will be close to half price. You'll have perfectly respectable broadband with downloads of around 132Mbps and access to over 200 TV channels, including Sky Cinema HD. Just like the more pricy packages, you'll have the Virgin Media WiFi Hub and 360 TV box, plus all-inclusive weekend calls to UK landlines. And again, you can opt for the Eufy doorbell & security camera bundle instead of a bill credit.

How do Virgin Media rewards work?

Virgin Media doesn't offer reward cards or traditional cashback at the time of writing. Instead it offers bill credit amounts – exclusive to BestBroadbandDeals.co.uk. Unlike reward cards you won't need to remember to claim these, they will simply be applied to your future bill.

Some of these package offer a gift alternative to the bill credit. You will need to choose these during the sign-up process if you would rather have the gift or gifts.
