Is O2 Priority Worth It? (2026 UK App Rewards Review)

Last Updated on 4 June 2026 by Dan Wilderness

Hello everyone! Mid-last year I made a switch of phone network to O2 as part of a SIM-only deal and have been using O2 Priority as part of this.

A number of mobile phone companies have tie-in deals apps and I’ve never been particularly impressed with them to date – but in this I however have found the O2 Priority app actually really valuable. I though I’d write about that today, as my experience has generally been that much more of a perk to being on the network than I expected.

Quick Verdict on O2 Priority

O2 Priority is well worth joining if already on the network as there’s plenty of good perks and competitions. There’s not quite enough to merit picking O2 specifically for Priority unless there’s a perk you’d specifically make very regular use of or desperately want pre-sale ticket access as a gig regular.

How we tested O2 Priority

After picking up a cheap Monthly rolling contract with O2 I used it as my network for a number of years and made liberal use of O2 Priority in that timeframe, particularly when it came to making use of free and discounted coffee perks.

I’m writing about this because I like it, but: The Financial Wilderness may also receive a small payout if you make a purchase through a link on this site.

Get a good mobile deal as your first priority

Now whilst this article is about a good loyalty perk, I’d always suggest you make your focus getting a good core phone package first – I went with O2 not because of Priority, but because they were simply the cheapest deal I could get.

I usually suggest taking a look at the website for each network first (rarely the cheapest) to baseline a cost. I then run through a few of the comparison sites (I say a few because I find that different deals do appear on different sites) – my usual go to is MoneySupermarket but my deal this time was through USwitch where I got an £8 a month package with 15GB of data and unlimited texts and calls.

It’s also worth seeing if you can save anything additional by going through a cashback site like TopCashback at the same time – I was able to get a further £20 back on my package.

(Using a cashback site to save when shopping is of my easiest but most effective moneysaving tips – read more about how TopCashback works here if you’re not familiar).

How do I get O2 Priority?

To get the O2 Priority app simply search on either the Apple or Android app store.

To register you’ll need to need to have a active O2 number or an active Virgin Media account.

When you open up the app, you’ll be prompted to log into either your O2 account or Virgin Media account to proceed.

If you don’t have an account with O2 or Virgin Media, you can see deals available directly with O2 here and deals available with Virgin Media here.

Can You Get O2 Priority on Tesco Mobile, Giffgaff, or Sky Mobile?

No. O2 Priority is only for those who have direct contracts either with O2 Priority or Virgin Media. Whilst there are a number of providers that use the O2 Network and sometimes have cheaper contracts (they are Giffgaff, Sky Mobile, Tesco Mobile, Lyca Mobile and Virgin Mobile) none of these will also grant you access to O2 Priority – you have to be with the network itself or on Virgin.

What offers are available with O2 Priority?

Note: We try and keep this page up to date and highlight the offers which are regular appearances rather than one-offs, but they do change all the time so don’t place too much reliance on them!

I’ll start off with a quick table breaking down the O2 offers at time of writing as an example of the range, then go into these in a bit more detail:

Reward Category	Specific O2 Priority Perk	Cost & Saving Details

Discounted Greggs Coffee and Breakfast

O2 Priority presently have two Greggs offers running on a frequent basis, which you have to pick between:

£1 Greggs Coffee

O2 offer a weekly coffee from Greggs for £1 which can be redeemed once a week on any day of the week. Simply activate the voucher in the app when you’re in Greggs to redeem. (Top tip: You can use this offer on a large coffee as well) as a regular.

Or;

£1 Greggs Savoury Treat

You can also get a savoury treat from Greggs once a week any day of the week for £1.

All you need to do is get the voucher from the app to scan.

O2 seem to partner with Greggs on a very regular basis, so there’s been various cases where bonus offers for sweet treats have appeared.

At the moment they seem to be offering a frequent “Spin to Win” promotion where free Greggs items often appear as a reward.

(And if you like a Greggs, do check out our review of Greggs rewards!)

Discounted Disney+ Offer

O2 Priority can also be one of the better ways to subscribe to Disney+. If you go for the Standard Plan or the Premium plan, subscribing via an O2 Extra will net you £2 off the monthly bill.

It can be worth cancelling and re-subscribing this way if you’re already a Disney+ user for the saving.

For avoidance of doubt, you cannot get a discount on the cheaper standard with ads plan via this methodology, which is still the cheapest route if you don’t mind the adverts and are simply looking to minimise costs as much as possible.

Note that for this offer, there’s a couple of restrictions – you have to have purchased your plan directly from O2, and have to be on certain tariffs so check first before you redeem this!

Discounted Amazon Prime Membership

If you elect to pay for Amazon Prime through putting it on your O2 bill, you’ll save £2 a month off the cost.

There’s a catch with this one though – you can’t be an existing Prime subscriber, so you have to cancel any existing membership first.

However, it may be worth it – if you subscribe on an annual basis to Amazon Prime, the O2 Priority discount is cheaper than the yearly subscription.

Free Beer, Wine or Cocktails at O’Neill’s, Ember Inns and Sizzling Pubs

O2 Priority also presently has a partnership with the O’Neill’s, Ember Inns and Sizzling Pubs chains for a “Thursday Thursday”

There are presently two offers running for Thirsty Thursday:

• From 5pm, you can get a free pint, wine, cocktail or soft drink – but these are limited on a first-come first serve basis to the first 6000 people that claim them.

• After that, from 5.30pm up until 7.30pm there’s a buy one get one free voucher on the same list of drinks.

You can find the offer and the full list of available drinks options within the app.

Discounted Vue Cinema Tickets

O2 Priority has had a longstanding history of partnering with Vue Cinemas in various forms. Their most recent promotion has been to offer four Vue Cinema tickets for £18.

Whilst there are a number of places that you can get Cinema deals these days, this generally stacks up pretty well as an offer.

(If you’re a regular cinema-goer you may be interested in your article on if an unlimited cinema pass is worth it)!

Other O2 Priority specific Deals and Freebies

When I hear about deals being offered on a platform like this my cynical side usually comes out. I see too many “deal platform” type sites offering things that either you can get anywhere, are of very dubious quality or you find any remotely similar site has. That isn’t the case here.

However I’ve found the deals I’ve got are actually pretty good value and real discounts on things I’ve actually felt I’ve wanted – so far I’ve nabbed a discount cocktail making set, a free “Treasure Trail” walking puzzle and an online escape room type game.

Recently, other rolling offers have been 50% off chicken sandwiches at Popeyes and 25% off beauty treatments booked via the Treatwell app.

The companies involved are obviously hoping you’ll become a repeat customer, but they’re a well curated bunch of choices.

O2 Priority Ticket Releases

I’m not a huge concert goer myself, but O2 obviously sponsor one of London’s main venues in the form of (drum roll)……the O2. It’ll always be the Millennium Dome to me – I still remember going on a school trip there in 2000!

If you are a big concert fan and am looking forward to them coming back soon then tickets on the big stage are usually released 48 hours in advance with a pre-sale to O2 members. This includes some big names and given how quickly tickets get to go and sadly the accompanying price gouging that can come with it, it’s a useful perk.

(It’s also not just things at the O2 – Secret Cinema tickets are another good example). Sometimes, but not always they have discounts as well.

O2 Blue Mondays

O2 Priority also offers fairly regular competitions to win stuff. This is particularly the case in the form of Blue Mondays prize drops which have become a central part of the priority app and essentially is a weekly prize draw.

The focus of these varies but there’s usually a big prize like a family holiday on offer and then lots of little prizes. Some of these can be nice little things (I won a free bar of Tony’s Chocolate for instance!) – sometimes they’re “freebies” that are little more than sales marketing for other companies which aren’t that good.

So is O2 Priority worth it?

Verdict: Yes – it’s an add-on for users of the network that I feel unlike most tacked on extra will over some form of value to most people using it. However, I have knocked off a star since I originally wrote this review as my experience has been that the value and number of free extras and things I’ve used on a frequent basis have declined since I first signed up.

If you’re on O2 or Virgin Media and not using it’s absolutely worth downloading for sure.

The question of it you should change network is a trickier one – having used it I can honestly say that if prices between two deals were close, it is a factor that would make me more likely to choose O2.

However if there’s any significant difference in your ongoing tariff just go with the very best deal -unless- you think you’d make very frequent use of one of the perks above.

Advantages

• Varied free perks and discounts
• Good competitions
• Access to O2 Venue events pre-sales

Disadvantages

• Cannot use with Piggyback networks
• Slightly more limited than it used to be.

O2 Priority for Virgin Media Customers

Virgin Media customers are now also able to sign up to the benefits of O2 Priority.

In order to take advantage, simply download the app and at the login screen you’ll see an option where you can put in your Virgin Media account details to get started.
