MTN Nigeria has rolled out a reward package to entice dormant and runaway customers back to the network with the MTN welcome back offer,which rewards customers 2000% (20X times)instant bonus for the first recharge in the month for a period of 3 months.
The MTN welcome back offer is a reward package to dormant and inactive customers which gives them 2000% instant bonus for reactivating their MTN lines and getting back to the network.
The reward package targets customers who have spent 45-180days on the network without performing any chargeable activity.
If you have not used your MTN line for 45 to 180 days to make calls, loaded airtime, subscribed to any data bundle plan and any other value added services like ring back tunes,MTN backup,and MTN play. MTN is simply saying that you should go dust your sim,get back to the network and you will be rewarded with 2000%(20X times)the value of every first recharge you make in a month for a period of 3 months.
The 2000% welcome back offer bonus is made available only on the first airtime recharge amount of #100 and above made in the month for 3months. The bonus can be used for local calls(calls to all networks in Nigeria),SMS and data on PAYG(pay as you go (as you browse the bonus is being deducted)).
The bonus is split into two, 500% of the bonus goes for calls and SMS while 1500% of the bonus can only be used for browsing.
HOW MTN WELCOME BACK OFFER WORKS
MTN welcome back offer is made available only to customers who have not used their lines for a period of 45-180days.
When the customer reactivates the line by recharging #100 and above,2000% bonus, that is,20 times the value of the recharge would be made available to the customer. 500% of the bonus can be used for calls and SMS and 1500% of the bonus can be used for browsing.
The face value of the airtime will be converted to 2000% welcome back bonus and credited to the winback dedicated bonus account. Simply put,when you recharge, 2000% of the airtime value would be credited to your welcome back bonus account without the recharge value credited to your main account. Which simply means that you cannot see the airtime when you check through *556#.
How To Recharge To Make Sure You Get The Welcome Back Bonus
MTN customers get to enjoy the 2000% welcome back offer bonus for a period of 3months.
The 2000% bonus is available for 3months but only on the first recharge amount of #100 and above made in the first month. First recharge amount of #100 only made in the second month and also #100 only made in the third month.
For the first month,customers receive 2000% bonus on any recharge amount between #100 and #1,000. Customers cannot recharge below #100 and above #1,000 in the first month.
In a situation where the customer recharges below #100,the customer will not get the welcome back bonus while the customer will receive a welcome back bonus on the value of #1,000 should the customer make a recharge above #1,000.
The excess of the recharge amount would be credited to the customers main account. For example, if the customer’s first recharge of the month in the first month is #2,500. The 2000% welcome back bonus of #1,000 which is #20,000 would be received(#5,000 for local calls and SMS and #15,000 for browsing. The excess recharge amount of #1,500 would then be credited to the customers main account which can be seen through the normal way of checking MTN airtime account balance *556#.
For Month 2 and month 3: The minimum and maximum recharge amount is #100. A recharge amount below #100 in any of the months won’t receive the 2000% welcome bonus.
A first recharge amount in the month above #100 will only receive 2000% bonus on the value of #100 while the excess gets credited to the main account.
First Month: Minimum first recharge amount is #100.
Maximum First recharge amount is #1,000
Second Month: Minimum and maximum first recharge amount is #100
Third month: Minimum and maximum first recharge amount is #100
The MTN welcome back offer is available within a period of 3months with 30days intervals. From the first recharge in the first month you have 30days before you can recharge and get the bonus for the second month and 30days after before you get the bonus for the third month.
MTN welcome back offer bonus supersedes every other bonus available on your prepaid plan for the first recharge in the month,if you are on a prepaid plan which gives you bonus for any recharge. For example, if you are on the New Beta talk prepaid plan,you cannot get bonuses either ways. You only get the beta talk 150% bonus if you first recharge is below #100 and also 250% beta talk bonus on subsequent recharges of #100 and above made in the month after the first recharge of the month.
Side Note: The New Beta talk is a prepaid plan and the 150% and 250% bonus is only available to customers on the prepaid plan and not everyone.
RECHARGE METHOD: The welcome back bonus is made available for airtime recharge through physical paper voucher,logical,DYA,virtual top-up(VTU),electronic top-up(Etop-up)as well as recharge through bank account.
Airtime received through MTN share and sell does not count and also airtime recharge below #100.
