If you’ve decided to make Virgin Mobile USA your carrier because you love their no contract plans and cheap unlimited data, you’ll be happy to hear that there are ways to make the jump even easier on your wallet. All it takes is a little bit of legwork, which we’ve done for you.

Save Up To 40% By Going Directly To Virgin Mobile’s Deals Page

Aside from checking BluePromoCode's Virgin Mobile page for deals, you can also go directly to Virgin Mobile's deals page, where you can take advantage of web exclusives, and Virgin Mobile USA branded phones and products. Right now, you can save 15% on the iPhone 4S, which comes out to $382.49, along with free shipping. The deal is available when you purchase the phone along with the Beyond Talk monthly unlimited and data messaging plans. On top of that deal, you can get $5 off your monthly plan when you sign up for Auto-Pay.

On other networks, the phones may be cheaper but they require a 2 year contract agreement. For example, at AT&T the iPhone 4S is available for only $99.99 only with the 2 year contract. You cannot get unlimited data with most of AT&T’s plans, unless you start at the $69.99/month plan. If you go for the cheaper data plan, you run the risk of getting stuck with overage charges of $10 per GB your monthly limit.

Get Up To 6000 AnyTime Minutes A Year For Free

The cheapest monthly plan Virgin Mobile has available gives you 300 anytime minutes every month for $35. If you go over the allotted minutes, you’ll be coughing up $0.10 for each overage minute. Luckily, there’s a way to earn free extra minutes.

The Kickbacks referral program lets you earn extra minutes every month when you refer friends to Virgin Mobile. All you have to do is sign up for the program, get your Kickbacks code, and share the code with your friends and family. Once a friend signs up with your code and adds money to their Virgin Mobile account within 45 days, then you’ll both be credited with 60 minutes of extra airtime.

You can refer up to 100 friends per year, and earn up to 6000 bonus minutes each year. The only caveat is that you must keep your Virgin Mobile account active, and add at least $20 into your account every 90 days in order to take advantage of the Kickbacks airtime.

Kickback codes do not expire. We’ve seen people posting their particular Kickback codes on the Internet, available for anyone to use. You can try searching for Kickback codes specifically posted on the Internet and add them to your account. This isn’t guaranteed to work, but it’s definitely worth trying.

Save Up To 10% Or More On Virgin Mobile Top Up Cards On eBay

If you still find yourself running low on minutes, you’ll have to top up your Virgin Mobile account, with a top up card. The cards are available in physical retail stores like Target and WalMart, usually, slightly discounted by a few cents, and occasionally they go on sale. If you have a Target REDCard, you’ll get an extra 5% off your purchase.

Online, it’s a little bit trickier. We discovered that Virgin Mobile USA raised their reseller rates, making it difficult for retailers to provide discounts to their customers. You’ll find that sites like CallingMart.com and Pinzoo.com will tack on an extra 3% or 5% charge on their cards. What you can do to get cheaper cards online is to head to eBay, where you can find Virgin Mobile top up cards for 10% off. You’ll have to be careful and wary of scams, though, and make sure that you’re purchasing from a legitimate, reputable seller. Some unscrupulous sellers try to sell these cards for the express purpose of getting your phone information.

Get Six Months Of Special Financing With PayPal's Bill Me Later On Purchases Of $99.99 Or More

If you make a purchase of $99.99 or more, you can take advantage of the PayPal Bill Me Later option, which gives you six months of special financing. If, by the end of the six months, you’ve paid for your purchase in full, you won’t have to pay interest. This is a great option for someone who wants one of the higher-end Samsung smartphones or iPhones, but doesn’t currently have the budget to drop all the money at once.  

Earn Extra Cash With Virgin Mobile's Affiliate Program

If you’re looking for an easy way to make extra cash, you can join Virgin Mobile USA’s affiliate program. Sign up for the program is available through Commission Junction, and you can earn up to $45 per commission for select phones.

Stay On Top Of Deals By Following Virgin Mobile On Facebook & Twitter

Follow Virgin Mobile’s Facebook and Twitter feeds to stay on top of deals. For example, earlier this week, they had a one-day sale on the Samsung Victory 4G LTE for $75 off. (It’s still on sale now, but it’s only for $50 off.)
