Airtel is giving free weekly data of 250MB to all their customers that meet their weekly recharge target through airtel Recharge plus promo offer. Customers get the airtime amount value credited to their main account plus free data.
Airtel recharge plus offer is available to all airtel customers. The only thing required from the airtel customer is to recharge the required amount of airtime. The face value of the airtime recharge amount is not affected as it is credited to the customers main account and the customer can use the airtime for calls or any other billable transaction. The 250MB data is 100% free but then you must meet the weekly recharge threshold to be able to get it.
The weekly recharge threshold is not the same for all airtel customers. The minimum airtime amount required to get the free weekly 250MB is dependent to an extent on the recharge history of the airtel customer. Big spenders tend to have higher weekly threshold while small and medium spenders tend to also have a threshold based on their recharge strength.
