More Ways to Save at Virgin Plus in Canada
- Join as a Member and check the My Benefits app weekly rather than just once. New offers rotate in regularly, including Member Mondays deals that last only one week, so you can check often to catch more perks.
- Redeem the built-in retail benefits like rotating fashion and sports gear discounts, which offer massive savings at major Canadian retailers activated by showing a barcode from the My Benefits app at checkout. These aren't limited-time signup bonuses; they refresh as ongoing perks tied to your active plan.
- Choose a Bring Your Own Phone (BYOP) plan if you already own a compatible device. BYOP plans skip Sweet Pay financing entirely, which usually means a noticeably lower monthly rate than a plan bundled with a new phone.
- Time a device purchase around Boxing Week or Black Friday, when Virgin Plus typically drops Sweet Pay financing on flagship phones and smartwatches to $0 down at 0% APR. Watch specifically for BYOP plan discounts during these windows too, since the carrier has led other providers on price drops in past sale periods.
- Call in as a returning Member if you've recently ported out to another carrier. Virgin Plus runs winback offers through a dedicated team that can beat standard published pricing on BYOP and device plans, though you typically need to have already left before these are offered.
- Set up pre-authorized debit payments within 31 days of ordering to lock in the recurring automatic payments discount eligible postpaid plans include, and check coupon sites for current Virgin Plus promo codes before you activate a new line.
Virgin Plus Member Benefits Program
Member Benefits comes included at no extra cost with eligible mobile and internet plans, and unlike a points-based loyalty program, there's nothing to earn or redeem thresholds to hit. Offers rotate through the My Benefits app on iOS and Android, covering categories like food, retail, entertainment, and travel from partner brands. Member Mondays adds a limited-time weekly deal on top of the everyday rotating offers, with past partners including Frank & Oak, New York Fries, and Uber.
Access depends on staying an active Virgin Plus Member with your account in good standing. Offers aren't transferable or redeemable for cash, and the specific deals available vary by province and change without notice, so it's worth checking in regularly rather than assuming last month's perks are still live.
Virgin Plus Sweet Pay Device Financing
Sweet Pay is Virgin Plus's 0% APR device financing option, letting you get a new phone with $0 down when you activate on an eligible 2-year plan. Monthly device payments run separately from your plan charges, which means switching to a BYOP plan before the device is paid off triggers an early exit charge covering your remaining device payments plus the remaining balance of any Agreement Credit received at purchase. Certified Pre-Loved devices are also available through Sweet Pay, typically at a lower monthly cost than a new model.

Cancellation | No cancellation fee outside a device agreement; an early exit charge applies if a Sweet Pay term is cancelled early. |
Refund Method | Final balance settlement via your original payment method once the final invoice is cleared. |
Cancelling your mobile or internet service stops ongoing plan charges on your official deactivation date, with any unused portion of the prepaid month credited back on your final invoice. If you're on a Sweet Pay device agreement, cancelling or switching to a BYOP plan early adds a charge covering the remaining device balance and any agreement credit you received. Most charges settle within 90 days of your deactivation date, though international roaming charges can take longer to calculate and may be billed separately. For full details, visit Virgin Plus's official cancellation page.

Fido is suitable for those who want comparable no-contract flexibility but on the Rogers network instead of Bell, which is worth comparing if you've had coverage issues in your area. It also runs its own trade-in credit program for device upgrades, something Virgin Plus doesn't currently offer in the same form. Have a look at Fido promo codes to compare current pricing before you switch.
Freedom Mobile tends to appeal to those who are focused on travel value, since its BYOD plans commonly bundle Canada, US, and Mexico roaming with monthly roam-beyond data at price points that can undercut Virgin Plus for similar coverage. It works best in urban centres where Freedom's network is strongest. Browse Freedom Mobile offers to see if the roaming bundle fits your travel habits.
About Virgin Plus
Virgin Plus launched in Canada in 2000 as Virgin Mobile Canada, later rebranding under its current name after Bell Canada acquired the company in 2009. It operates as a flanker brand of Bell, running on Bell's wireless network while positioning itself with a distinct, more casual brand identity aimed at value-conscious customers. Virgin Plus sells postpaid and prepaid mobile plans, smartphones, and accessories online and through retail stores across Canada, alongside its Member Benefits program covering food, retail, and entertainment partner discounts.
