Megafon bonus points - step-by-step instructions for checking points + 5 ways to activate them

Home Mobile operators MegaFon

Megafon's bonus system developed a long time ago. It is reminiscent of a system of discount or bank cards, on the balance of which a certain percentage of the purchase amount is deposited - points, and they can later be used as payment. The Megafon-Bonus system works in a similar way, only instead of making purchases in a store, you use communication services from this operator.

To participate in the program, you usually do not need any additional actions - everything happens automatically. In general, for every 30 rubles spent, 1 point is awarded. Points are recalculated monthly.

However, remember that if no action has been taken to activate rewards within a year, the subscriber’s participation in the program may be terminated, even if he continues to use Megafon communication services. Or the operator will set a reward at his own discretion. Accumulated points “live” for a year from the moment they are accrued, and after this period they expire.

Megafon provides a fairly extensive list of bonuses as rewards. This could be a certain number of free SMS, minutes or megabytes on your phone. Also, using points, you can pay your communication bill, get a discount on the purchase of any gadget at Megafon, and even exchange them for miles from Aeroflot.

Description of the bonus program

Participation in MegaFon's loyalty program allows subscribers to accumulate bonuses - virtual units of account, and then spend them on rewards:

1. Communication service packages;
2. Discounts from operator partners (for example, Aeroflot miles);
3. Replenishment of balance.

• The subscriber is an individual (not an organization);
• The number has been transferred to a mass tariff, except for special ones for mobile Internet (“Smart Home”, “Internet without worries for a tablet”, etc.);
• The number is not blocked.

If the balance is negative, participation is suspended. The subscriber sees his bonus account, but cannot use it and replenish his balance with points.

How to give Megafon Bonus points

You cannot transfer your points to another Megafon client, but you can purchase a package of minutes, SMS messages or Internet and send it as a gift. It is important that the recipient also participates in the bonus promotion. There are several ways you can make a gift, all of which are free and only take a few minutes.

Through your personal account. In your Personal Account, select the service package you want to transfer. Next to the inscription “Activate”, indicate the number of the other subscriber. Points will be debited from your account and your friend will receive a package of additional services.

Checking your bonus balance without going online

Short queries of the star-hash type, or ussd, are very popular due to their simplicity, speed, lack of connection to the Internet and free of charge.

The very first and easiest way to check your bonus balance is to send a request for your total account balance to the well-known number *100# . In response, you will receive a message indicating the actual balance in rubles and the bonus balance in points.

This method is simple, but has its drawbacks - for example, they cannot be activated in this way, and it is not indicated which points have an expiration date.

*115# is a completely different matter . This number relates directly to the bonus program, and by “communicating” with it you can find out everything about your points and activate them. The response message from the number offers four points:

1. Bonus account. When you click on it, you will receive the total amount of points and an offer to find out their expiration date. When requested, a response message appears indicating how many points will be burned in the next month. The attached screenshot shows “0” (zero) points, since less than a year has passed since the last activation of the reward.
2. Activate bonuses - this is the second point of the first message. He offers to activate points on your number or another one. When you select any of the activation methods, a catalog of rewards will appear, based on which you can choose the one you need.
3. Settings is an interesting item by name, which simply includes the ability to refuse to participate in the bonus program.
4. The item “About Megafon-Bonus” is a request for information about the program. After the request, a long SMS message with a brief description of the bonus system will be sent to your phone.

get to the menu that appears at the beginning of a request by calling *115# through a general Service Guide request by calling *105# . After the first answer, you need to select the fifth item, which is called, in fact, Megafon-bonus, and you will immediately be transferred to the menu described above.

In order not to send response requests to *105# , you can immediately press the desired combination. In our case, *105*5# will immediately bring you to the Megafon-Bonus menu, similar to the request *115# .

Another easy way to find out your bonus balance is to send a message to the toll-free number 5010 . This number relates directly to the bonus program, so bonuses are activated using it (as we will explain below). In order to find out your points balance, you need to send a message with the number zero. The response SMS will contain their number and will immediately indicate how many points will be burned in the next month.

Internet packages

The traffic that will be ordered can be used exclusively in the home region. It is activated for up to thirty days; when updating the main Internet service, it is not reset. Accrued megabytes are spent first.

Please check additional USSD combinations on the website or in person with an operator consultant.

Transfer points to friends

To top up someone else's account, you can use the same schemes as for a personal account, only in the body of the SMS letter you need to indicate the phone number of the subscriber whose balance is being topped up, separated by a space after the number of points. If you send a request, it will look like: *115*phone number*package code# and call .

Attention! You can top up someone else’s number with your bonuses no more than 7 times a month.
