In March, Virgin Plus updated its website to include a $10/mo autopay credit. However, there was some confusion as Virgin Plus adjusted its systems and removed the credit. Now, a Virgin Plus spokesperson has told MobileSyrup that the autopay credit is back officially.
The spokesperson told us that customers who set up a pre-authorized debit can receive a $10/month credit on Virgin Plus rate plans. The autopay credit is available for new and existing customers and continues each month as long as they remain enrolled.
Virgin’s current data plan offerings include a $39/60GB 4G plan ($49 without autopay) and a $54/80GB 4G plan ($64 without autopay). Both plans include unlimited Canada-wide calling and unlimited calling to the U.S., Bangladesh, China, Hong Kong, India, Mexico, and U.K. The plans also have unlimited international texting sent from Canada.
The $10 autopay credit also applies to Virgin’s $25/mo talk and text plan, making it $35/mo without autopay. It’s worth noting these changes are for new activations and shouldn’t impact existing customers.
Virgin is following in the footsteps of Telus’ Koodo and Rogers’ Fido. Koodo added a $5/mo autopay credit to plans in July 2024 and made some changes so that it’s $10/mo if you use your bank’s pre-authorized autopay. Fido added a $5/mo autopay credit in 2023 and increased the credit to $10/mo in 2024. In both cases, Fido increased the cost of plans to make up the difference.
