Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

I wonder if there'll be any slaps given out with those tickles ;)

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

If they do I wonder if they would accept nominations, 'cause I can think of a couple of members whose names I could forward. :D

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

Oh no! Cue multi-threads about the unfairness of those that don't get chosen..:banghead:

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

And why have they taken so long to do it....

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

Hopefully 'loyal' refers to more than a few years but I'm not bothered, never going to win anything so why fuss.

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

Did I see "Free" Tivo setup / box . Now that might just get me to try it

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

Our 11th anniversary comes in a few days... doubt we'll get a tickle though...

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

And of course it helps delay those existing customers thinking of changing suppliers,"Oh just a minute dear we aught to stay with Virgin, we might get an upgrade......anytime now dear...I'm sure we can wait a lil longer...ok after Christmas Gertrude I promise....happy New Year darling...I saw the Virgin Media van yesterday....Easter is early this year we can hold out till then ok ?

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

Did you miss the part that said only until the end of 2011.;)

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

Hello all, Ken Dodd here, how Tickled i will be when i and all my diddymen get a tickle for being a loyal customer of virgin.

Gep:D

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

Thanks Masque..Gertrude will be pleased:)

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

It did & I am:D

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

I was wondering if anyone has seen anything further about the 'tickle tour' mentioned in my original link.

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

There going around the country in the A Team van with the Virgin airstream caravan .They have been all over the country surprising customers with nice goodies :)

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

Where have they been so far?:erm:

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

Hmm, does that mean that they tickled me when they gave me 3 months free trial of the XL TV package?

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

You would know if you were Tickled :D:D:D:D:D:D

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

Following Maggy's post, I recon that if this 'tickle van' should be seen in your area let the rest of us know!

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

Well Ellesmere Port got a Tickle at the weekend.

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

WOW

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

Bit of a contradiction in that article.

So is it random, or selected people only?

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

Randomly selecting selected people in selected random areas! :D

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

in a random way :D

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

So it has nothing to do with how long you been with them, you have to be a salesman for them before you got any chance of getting anything.

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

Yes, for that particular tickle. Other tickles are available.

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

I wonder if there will be a tickle for customers who grassed up people for having illegal boxes over the past 5 years? My friend grassed up 4 neighbours after they complained about his plans to build an extension.

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

I got tickled today - by email. I now have the call 08-- option on my home phone for free, forever. A £2/month value. And completely worthless to me!

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

:D:D

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

I am starting to feel totally underwhelmed. :D

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

I can see this backfiring as it descends into "tickle envy".

Hardly ever use the phone, and got £6/month worth of tickle on it... Is it like supermarket offers, they try to tempt you into something else, rather than a special on what you already use.

Another tickle I've seen mentioned "£60 worth" of PC healthcheck.

Maybe we should try and collect a list, to feed the tickle envy even more!

PS. Looks like there is a special bonus tickle prize draw for "recommend a friend"

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

I got the November issue of Electric - WOW!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

I used to get that every month, you just reminded me I haven't seen it for month.
I wonder if that a tickle in reverse?:D

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

http://tickle.virginmedia.com/

Get yourself tickled up!

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

Yes l feel the same as thats what l got.

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

Just went on there put my detail in and I got............."We've no tickles that you need to claim at the moment, but watch this space."
Should I hold my breath?

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

I just subscribed to the 08 tickle.
Might save me some money.

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

should i wait for a tickle or get one via the link :confused:

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

l can.t answer that question as you could be waiting ages for a tickle and might never get one so if it was me l would get one via the link.

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

Got a free Talk 08 Add-on.

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

Looks like the most common tickle is 08 add on, I've already got it. So it wouldn't tickle me

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

LOL :D:D:D

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

Yes l had the 08 tickle and to be perfectly honest its a waste of time.

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

They gave me the 08 add on about 2months ago when I started making chargeable calls.

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

Just got the 08 plan tickle.

I doubt I'll ever use the 250 minutes, but it's nicer to have than to not have :)

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

We've no tickles that you need to claim at the moment, but watch this space

Really? Only been with the outfit since the Cable & Wireless days.

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

... very unlikely to happen..

why?

Ive been a cable customer since 1999, and Ive had sod all but aches and pains ever since the Virgin brand smothered us.

I wouldnt mind a new STB, its struggling to even keep up with on-demand stuff these days. Ive have an old telly for yonks, and ive yet to experience HD... ah well, not to worry, maybe Ill get a Christmas card saying thanks...

update... as expected..

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

If you have an old TV, how can it be VM's fault you haven't experienced HD?

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

HD is much much better, get a 'HD Ready' set. there pretty cheap now

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

I got the PC healthcheck - I thought this tickle was supposed to make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, not to threaten me! Is there anyone out there who would actually let VM mess with their computer?

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

I take it that is a rhetorical question starfish. :D

Our door bell rang on Friday and John went to see who was there. I gradually tuned into what was being said when I heard John saying that "Yes we had been with VM for donkey's years" and "no we didn't have Films or Sports"

I soon came down to earth and put away my elation at maybe being 'Ticked' when I glanced down the hall to see that the caller was wearing a Sky name tag. :(

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

I was offered it too, same reaction as Starfish!

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

I've been with VM and it's predecessors since the mid 90's. So a nice big tickle right in my arm pits would be nice. Like free upgrade to a Tivo would be nice (and Christmas is coming) ;)

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

"We’ve just given you explosive HD for free"

Nice.

EDIT: That was sarcasm since we have a V+ HD box with HD activated as standard >.<

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

Where did you see this?

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

Well hopefully it'll be on a V HD box ;)

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

At

http://tickle.virginmedia.com

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

That particular tickle is aimed at customer with a V HD box - which are all being activated for HD for no cost.

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

Yeah which makes it a useless tickle for us :P

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

I want a Tickle https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/local/2015/06/4.gif

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

I can't see it. Was it in "My tickles" for you?

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

I'm good at tickling Pussy's, I am tickling one of mine at the moment ;) (cat that is)

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

Yes you log in and click the link.

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

And you don't have a VHD? (Sorry to labour the point, but I want to get to the bottom of what's happened here)

Is anyone else getting this tickle listed?

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

This post says he already has a V+ with HD so sounds like a fail.

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/35329846-post54.html

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

so an HD tickle gets your a V+ box or do you still have to pay for the box?

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

No you misunderstood, he said he received a tickle offering an upgrade to HD on his STB but he already has a V+ which comes with HD as standard hence its a fail.:D

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

what about those with standard boxes non HD. if they took the HD tickle via the link would they get a free HD box if they haven't got one already?

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

Could he be getting the HD for Sky Sports and films free as a tickle? or has that charge been removed. (I don't have either option so maybe the extra fee has already been removed and I missed the news)

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

I know, but he may have a V-HD too.


This particular tickle is only meant for people with a V-HD that doesn't already have HD enabled. Other tickles are available. ;)

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

Wish I got another tickle a 40" 3DTV woulda been nice >.<

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

I know I found it oddly amusing but not really a surprise.;)

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

:( I guess my grey briefcase can stay unplugged then

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

No, but you can get one for £20 (the cost of swapping the boxes via the courier) http://shop.virginmedia.com/existing...de-to-vhd.html

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

thanks :)

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

lol, its all a load of rubbish...

Im on 100Mbit, have a TiVo box, 2x V+ boxes, 1 VHD box.. all Sky Premium HD activated... got almost every telephone addon going.. eg 3 way calling, block witheld numbers, caller display, talk international, talk mobile...top telephone tier.. top tv tier etc.

and the best tickle VM could manage is,

Talk 08 Plan for free, make 250 minutes worth of 0845 and 0870 calls free every month...

This plan isnt even listed on their website as existing!!

and whats even funnier... I claimed this tickle through their website, http://tickle.virginmedia.com/

about a week ago, and they are only just emailing me today offering it.. lol despite having already claimed it

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

Don't see any issue with that.

Only way you could have got the 'tickle' before the e-mail is if you logged onto the website because you knew about it from here.

The emails they are sending out will be going out in prepared mailshots, independent on whether you've actually already claimed it or not

Most customers won't know of the Tickle site until they get the email

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

I shall wait for an email if I have been selected for a Tickle. I see they are doing this for mobile customers as well. All our communication and entertainment is with VM so hopefully this should stand us in good stead for something!

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

I got tickled by email the other day... offered me the 250 minutes free 0800 / 0870.

I already have a simlar type of package on my mobile.

The way I read that, is if you don't get tickeled, then they don't like you. ;)

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2011/12/44.gif VM don't like me. I want to be loved!

..............https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2011/11/22.gif............... Maybe they are saving the best till last. https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2012/06/12.gif

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

We love you, jo....

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

Hey guys,

Got an e-mail saying I have the HD tickle, yet I can only view a few HD channels such as BBC, C4, and C6. That's it, really.

Any ideas?

I've rebooted my STB several times, and yes, HDMi is plugged in and set up correctly.

Thanks

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

What TV package are you on?

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

Large.

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

There are 6 HD channels in the L package, so you've got what you should have.

BBC1 HD
BBC HD
ITV1/STV/UTV HD
4 HD
5 HD
Film4 HD

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

That sucks :(

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

So last night I turn on the V+ box I have upstairs and it takes a while before it pops up saying I have been tickled and they have given me Sky Premium HD on my other boxes for free.
Erm....Issue is I am VIP50 so had that anyway!

So now I'm guessing you only get tickled once so a bit cheesed off if that is the case and they think they have tickled me with something I already have.
As it's essentially a freebie I guess there's no one I can actually complain to?
Complain is not the right word really just wanting to be tickled with something I don't already have that's all. Caller ID, free change from V+ to Tivo, I don't know whatever just something I don't already have.

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

I`m on vip 50 as well digital and I seem to have the sky premium channels on both the box downstairs and the one upstairs.

edit. My post above doesnt seem to make much sense now but there was another post above mine which has now gone, from digitalfanatic saying the vip 50 should only have sky premium on 1 box

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

Yep I have an email saying Digital Fanatic had replied with the following due to subscribing to the thread.

Maybe he realised he was wrong since Virgin pulled the multiroom charge on this once Sky also did the same thing. I think it was from October 1st but not 100%

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

The Sky Premium HD channels are now per account so if you have VIP50 it should be on any HD activated you boxes you have anyway. Or if you aren't on VIP50 and are paying to have them separately it is for the whole account as well, not per box.

Seems like your tickle wasn't all that ticklish!

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

'Sam' part of the Facebook Virgin Team also said it was per box before I corrected him. He came back a bit later and said I was correct but my tickle would not be replaced :o(
Makes me think if a staff member on here and Facebook still think it is per box then doesn't surprise me they are sending out wrong tickles.

I don't blame DF or Sam (as it may not be their area to know) or anyone really just that I get tickled and think finally me after spending over £100 a month with them and then they tickle me with something I already in effect pay for!

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

That isn't good. I know these are free tickles but they are being given out as a way to thank loyal customers for their custom. It doesn't make you feel all that great when they give you something you already pay for. And they can't even discount your package by the amount because it is included already!

If you had been paying £7 per month extra and they knocked £7 off your bill, that would be good. Maybe that is what they think they have done??

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

It will have been sent to all customers with Sky HD on at least one box. It's to point out that it's now on all boxes and is per account - not everyone will have been already aware

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

Fair enough I'm all for a bit of communication from Virgin but don't call it a tickle then.
All the tickles I have read about on various forums and facebook/twitter etc have all been customers getting a little extra like the 0870/0845 phone bundle or pc healthcheck etc.
Don't send a message through my tv saying I have been tickled and point out something I already have.

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

The original announcement about tickles seem to highlight that your tickle is valid:

http://mediacentre.virginmedia.com/S...ckle-21b0.aspx

"Virgin Media today unveiled a new strategic marketing campaign aimed at existing customers to reward them for their loyalty with magic moments as well as highlighting the great value extras they already get at no extra cost."

"They will be directed to a tickle terminal, an online destination where they can see individual tickles meant just for them, as well as alerted to things they already get but may not realise which draws attention to ways they can get the most out of their subscription."

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

I see what you are saying Chad.
Hopefully I will get retickled with something I don't already pay for then.
Just annoying reading here and elsewhere people getting other freebies and currently a person taking phone, tv, BB and mobile from them gets nothing.......as yet

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

Well I've just seen their video http://tickle.virginmedia.com/tickle-team/, and someone is getting a new TV and a Tivo box. Now that's what I call a tickle. I wonder how long have they been with them. With all that it must have been from RB's birth.

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

That makes Trickytree's tickle look even more like a slap in the face:D

In seriousness I hope trickytree does get a nice tickle.

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

I still have no tickles to claim. only been with them since 1996 at three different addresses.

Re: Virgin aims to tickle loyal customers.
 

Maybe they'll send you a tickle to let you know you can now access SKY Anytime. Based on Trickytree's experience, that would be a valid tickle!
