Chrish2 Posted June 5, 2022 #26 Share Posted June 5, 2022 I've noticed two issues with this promo. 1. During checkout it only shows 50$ credit instead of 200$ 2. Those with multiple bookings are generating different URLs but the target page is the wrong itinerary! On that second point, having taken a look under the hood I see what's going wrong. Each booking has its own referral code. This is used correctly. However it seems to use the first itinerary's package and voyage number (interestingly the package number is the last 4 characters of the voyage number) are incorrectly used every time! These values are sent to a URL shorter. As each attempt contains something unique to the itinerary the URLs generated are different hence why it's not just shortening to the same link. Subtly broken and only affecting small number of customers with more than one itinerary booked! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karmamule Posted June 6, 2022 #28 Share Posted June 6, 2022 (edited) We'll be on the April 22 - May 3 2023 Transatlantic from San Juan to Lisbon on Resilient Lady. We also have a $200 code so if someone is interested in using it, I pasted it below. I did a quick test and it is linking to the correct voyage. If you're serious about using it just DM me and I'll provide details. https://virg.in/4tLy In case you're wondering, the itinerary is: Day 1 depart San Juan Day 2 through 7 At Sea Day 8 Santa Cruz de Tenerife Day 9 Gran Canaria Day 10 Funchal Dat 11 At Sea Day 12 Lisbon Edited June 6, 2022 by karmamule Added itinerary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrish2 Posted June 6, 2022 #29 Share Posted June 6, 2022 This is getting a bit confusing for anyone wanting to find if a code has been posted for this 200$ offer. I've compiled the links from the forum and put them in this handy spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UaItklpqBLClAiCNxN9I32iSRXM4x0rQWND-jUjwGzc/edit#gid=0 @CruzinMermaid @janbear @RNPJN all have the wrong itinerary showing so for now I've just marked them as **** until fixed. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you please update my listing for the Sept 30 cruise as we changed cabins and the link you have on there is for the old one and doesn't work anymore. The new correct link is https://virg.in/ow2s.

I am trying to get the proper link from Virgin for the other 2 and will update soon Interesting, did you're booking reference change? Re the steps to get a correct link 1. Visit the virg.in link from your account and find the referralCode code that is in the URL 2. Find the correct pkgCode and voyageCode on the "Correct Your Link" sheet of the spreadsheet shared earlier direct link 3. Insert the values for pkgCode, voyageCode and referralCode between the relevant `=` and `&` in the URL https://www.virginvoyages.com/share?type=P&pkgCode=&voyageCode=&referralCode=&shipCode=undefined So if my referral code was 01234567-89AB-CDEF-0123-456789ABCDEF And I was on the Scarlet Lady for Dominican Daze sailing the Jun 10, 2022 with pkgCode 5NPP and voyageCode SC2206105NPP my url would be https://www.virginvoyages.com/share?type=P&pkgCode=&voyageCode=&referralCode=01234567-89AB-CDEF-0123-456789ABCDEF&shipCode=undefined 4. Test that by visiting the link you see a. the referral code in the URL b. the correct departure date is shown on the page c. the correct itinerary is shown on the page d. when checking out it shows "Woop woop, referral code applied!" (Probably optional) 5. Shorter the link to create your own "virg.in" url. This requires you to make a HTTP GET request with a valid Auth header from the Virgin Voyage website and with url parameter key "url" and the parameter value been the derived URL *after* been URL escaped to https://prod.virginvoyages.com/svc/bookvoyage-bff/api/shorten If you don't understand what step 5 means don't worry. I put my money on the shortened links been a cosmetic/practicality thing. The magic happens with the referral code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Got DM to say that the link works fine showing $200 OBC but somehow on check-out only shows $50 OBC. I'm not sure what's going on, so DM me if you use the link so we can both chase after Virgin to make sure the $200 credit shows up fine. Will be using this today - shows up as $50 for me right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QE2_Fan Posted June 10, 2022 #49 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Oh I’ve just seen this thread and a good idea to keep all the referrals grouped together. my referral is for an Australian 5 day cruise ‘Melbourne to Hobart and Back’ not until 16 Dec next year. Which is probably the longest wait time we’ve had for a cruise (well excluding Covid of course!). Hope someone can make use of it during the promo period. Thanks Virgin Voyages for such a generous offer! https://virg.in/oqFr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
