We Love Our Subscribers!




Welcome to your weekly Reader Rewards newsletter! Some of you may recall that this rewards/loyalty program and newsletter were launched all the way back in 2006.  It was launched as PilotVIP.  At the time servicing readers of The Virginian-Pilot.  Then in 2019 we morphed the program into what it is now: Reader Rewards - servicing readers of The Virginian-Pilot AND The Daily Press. 

Over 17 years of providing countless contests involving tickets to local events and concerts.  In some cases even cruises and extremely valuable items.  Heck - we even went through a global pandemic together.

Here in this space, we've been fortunate to highlight winners of these contests, promote new contests, highlight the great work our local journalists do in covering Hampton Roads and given you a preview of your upcoming Sunday paper.

Through your feedback, we added a feature to highlight a Pet of The Week!  We have been so fortunate to take SO MANY photos and profiles of your special pets.

I say all of this to preface the fact that unfortunately oftentimes some good things must come to an end.  The Reader Rewards program will be discontinued.  This will be the last Reader Rewards newsletter.  A number of different factors led to this difficult decision.  It has been a pleasure to provide so many different readers of our products prizes through these contests; to feature all your family's pets and to help give you a preview of what is going on around Hampton Roads and to preview our Sunday papers each week.  

Although Reader Rewards will no longer be here - the GREAT work all our journalists do at The Pilot and Daily Press WILL still be here for many years to come.  On behalf of EVERYONE here at both The Virginian-Pilot and The Daily Press - we truly appreciate your loyalty and readership.

Enjoy the holiday weekend and take care!
