Vouchers are alphabet-character only and aren’t case sensitive. Make sure that you haven’t typed in numbers instead of letters.

Premier Inn vouchers also have an expiry date. So check your voucher code’s still valid.

It’s always measured in time, from when you first use it. So 24h access starts and finishes at the same time, one day apart. It’s not measured by online usage.

If you try logging on with an account that doesn't have any credit on it, it prompts you to top-up your account. Follow the instructions to add more funds.

Go to the WiFi landing page and follow the forgotten password process. Our customer services don’t have access to your password, so they can’t tell you over the phone.

Yes, Virgin WiFi supports connections from WiFi enabled devices with MAC randomisation enabled. With MAC randomisation enabled, you will be able to connect, register and authenticate to a Virgin WiFi network.

However, if you’re connecting to a paid WiFi network or using a voucher code and have device limits, we recommend disabling the Private Address (or) MAC randomisation feature on your device to avoid filling multiple device slots on your account.

If you have recently upgraded your iPhone/iPad to iOS 14 or Apple Watch to WatchOS 7, the Private Address feature is enabled on all your networks by default.

To find out what software version your device is on, go to Settings, then tap General, and then tap About. If the Software Version mentions 14.0 or above, you will have Private Address enabled by default.

Disabling Private Address is easy. Follow Apple’s instructions below to disable Private address for a network:

1. Open the Settings app, then tap on Wi-Fi
2. Tap on the information button next to a network (in this case, the network you’re connected to).
3. Tap on the Private Address toggle to turn it off, a privacy warning will pop up, and click on Rejoin.

To ensure this is done immediately, we recommend turning your WiFi off and on again.

Once connected back to our network using the hardware MAC address, all of your paid WiFi products or voucher codes will be applied to the device immediately and you will not be required to purchase a new WiFi service. If you’re using a Free WiFi service and have previously already submitted your data to get online, you will not be required to re-enter your data to authenticate to your service.

Doing the above will only change the Private Address option for the network you’ve selected, and will leave the Private Address feature enabled for all other networks on your device.
