Hey Members! Virgin Mobile Canada wants you to share the love!

• Members can earn awesome gifts if their friends hook up with Virgin Mobile
  
  
• Virgin Mobile's V-Cards make it easy to keep in touch with lovers and others!

TORONTO, Feb. 10, 2012 /CNW/ - At Virgin Mobile, being a friend just got a whole lot sweeter! Starting today, Virgin Mobile is encouraging Canadians to get into the sharing spirit! Whether it's an e-greeting or a special code, Virgin Mobile is giving Members the power to share their love with their closest friends.

Let's Be BFFs

Virgin Mobile's new Refer A Friend program gives Virgin Mobile Members the chance to score gift cards from the hottest brands in Canada when their friends hook up online with Virgin Mobile. Oh, and their friends get a gift too!

"Friends always rely on each other for the best advice, and it's no different when they're looking for a new phone company," says Andrew Bridge, Managing Director, Virgin Mobile Canada. "Our Members love us, but now we want them to share their love for us… and get even more perks at the same time! Even better, once their friends join, they can start checking out all those exclusive Member benefits together. That's what friends are for!"

Virgin Mobile Members can sign up to the program on Virgin Mobile's Facebook page to get their unique Refer A Friend code. Then it's time to share!  When a friend uses the code and hooks up a new smartphone with Virgin Mobile online at virginmobile.ca, the Member and their lucky BFF both get a $50 gift card to a Member Benefits partner of their choice.  Options include H&M, New York Fries and more.
