What is the Megafon bonus program?

The operator has developed a trust reward program for its loyal subscribers.

This interesting offer allows you to accumulate bonus points for using Megafon services. These bonuses can subsequently be exchanged for various additional service packages and other options of the mobile operator.

To be brief, for every
30 rubles spent on using mobile services, the operator adds 1 point to the premium balance, which can then be spent on various lucrative rewards, resulting in a kind of discount.

How to activate bonuses

Activation of points on Megafon occurs in three ways:

1. SMS to *105#. The return SMS will indicate the number of bonuses.
2. Via LC.

1. Call 5010.

If rewards are not activated within a year, then Megafon points are canceled and the subscriber is temporarily excluded from the bonus program.

How to accumulate points

You can receive rewards for:

• Perfect calls;
• Sent SMS;
• Internet MB spent;
• Communication devices purchased at the operator's showroom;
• A significant date, for example, the subscriber’s birthday.

Units are not awarded for roaming expenses, “Change tone”, “Mobile commerce” and “Save number” options, as well as for entertainment subscriptions. Accrual occurs monthly, at the beginning of the calendar month. One bonus is equal to thirty rubles spent from a mobile phone account.

Now let's discuss how to activate bonuses on Megafon in order to take advantage of the selected options.

What can you spend Megafon bonus points on?

There are several ways to spend Megafon bonuses received:

• purchasing SMS packages;
• payment for Internet traffic;

• purchasing minutes for calls to numbers in your home region;
• in Russia;

Rewards catalog

If you have accumulated the required number of points, then it’s time to convert them into discounts or gifts. On the official website or in your personal account, go to the Megafon-Bonus section, where the catalog of rewards is available. Here is a list of services and offers on which you can spend your savings. This list includes discounts on outgoing calls, SMS correspondence, Internet and roaming packages, accessories and souvenirs from the provider.

Let's look at each category of prizes in detail.

Internet

Active consumers of network resources can exchange collected points for Internet traffic packages of various sizes:

Packages are provided for a limited period of validity - 30 days. They are valid in your home region. Outside the home region, network traffic is consumed according to the basic conditions of the current tariff plan. You can activate several sets at the same time, as a result the number of gigabytes is summed up.

If there are connected Internet options, Internet bundles within the reward are spent first. After the expiration date, the remaining units automatically expire and are not carried over to the next billing period.

Attention! To check the current status of remaining traffic, dial USSD *558#.

After 30 days, the remaining minutes automatically disappear. The limit applies to incoming and outgoing calls abroad and to Russia. This offer can be used only once in 30 days or gifted to a friend or relative no more than once. If there are other paid options, this kit is consumed first.

After this, the consultant will transfer points from your premium account to the carrier’s card; they will be credited and available for use within 10 days.

Topping up your account with points

Three ways to top up your account:

• after 115: *115*005# - corresponds to a top-up of 5 rubles;
• *115*010# — 10;
• *115*030# — 30;
• *115*050# — 50;
• *115*150# — 150;

Before activation, the number of points is checked:

• sending an SMS with the text “0” to 5010;
• command *105#;
• through the self-service menu *115#;
• on the operator's website.

Then you need to find out the balance: *100#. You cannot use bonus points if you have a negative balance.

Via USSD request

Activation is possible using a USSD request. To do this, dial “*115#” and press the call button. The following message will be sent to your phone:

1. Bonus account.
2. Bonus activation.
3. Settings.
4. About Megafon-Bonus.

By replying with a text message “1” and the call button, you will see information about the number of points on the screen. Also in the menu that appears, you can find out about the validity period of bonus points and return to the previous information.

Did you know? USSD is a GSM network service through which interaction between the service application and the subscriber is carried out.

When you press the number “2” in the main menu and the call button, the following information will be displayed on the screen:

1. Get a bonus.
2. Give a bonus.
3. Back.

“1” on the keyboard , you will see on the screen a list of points available for calls, messages, internet, money. Next, you need to enter the serial number of the selected reward and also press “call”. Next, detailed information will be displayed (for example, the number of SMS messages or minutes for conversation). Choose the option that suits you and send the serial number using the method described above. In response, you will receive a notification about activation and expiration date.

Exchange for free minutes

Each subscriber can exchange bonus points for calls within the region and throughout Russia. Exchange rates are shown below.

Commands for connecting free calls to your home region:

• *115*9101# — 10 free minutes to activate;
• *115*9103# - half an hour;
• *115*9106# — hours.

For calls throughout Russia to Megafon, the commands are slightly different:

• *115*9202# activates 10 minutes;
• *115*9203# - 30 minutes;
• *115*9206# - 60 minutes.

This can also be done through your personal account.

How to check your reward balances

This question is very important when using bonuses. For example, you activated free minutes and want to know whether you have any left or whether the conversation will cost you money. This is not difficult to do, although such information, alas, is not provided in a regular balance request.

The first method is Service Guide *105# . After the request, you need to follow the path: My account (1) - Balances (2). In response, you will be sent an SMS message with the balances for the connected options (if any), and not just for rewards.

The second method is your Personal Account or application. You need to go down to the “Balances for service packages” section. A window will open in which, as in the SMS, all balances for all tariff options and services will be indicated. The package from Megafon-Bonus will be called “Megafon-Bonus”, and in addition to the balances, their validity period will be indicated (remember, 30 days from the date of activation).

When using rewards in the form of megabytes of Internet, please note that they do not in any way affect the connection speed set by the tariff or option. Only the megabytes themselves are free, purely physically - everything else is within the tariff.

Exchange for SMS and Internet

The program provides for exchange for packages of messages.

They are activated:

• from LC;

• via SMS to 5010 in the format “CODE telephone number”, the CODE corresponds to a certain number of messages: 111 – for 10 SMS;
• 115 – 100;
• 113 – 50;
• 117 – 200.

As a rule, it is most convenient to exchange points on Megafon for web traffic, since it is not always included in the standard subscription package, and using the bonus program you can activate access to the network.

There are several exchange options.

You can connect packages through your personal account. If the subscriber does not have access to the Internet, then he activates the service using the commands:

• *115*9407# - for “purchase” of 1GB;
• *115*9408# - 2GB;
• *115*9409# - 3GB;
• *115*9410# - 10GB.

You can send a request to 5010 with the text “CODE subscriber phone number”, in which the CODE is a request for the corresponding Internet package:

• for 100MB – 1165;
• 200MB – 175;
• 500MB – 180;
• 1GB – 185.

Bonus expiration date

Points awarded for using mobile services - after 1 calendar year from the moment they are credited to the additional account, they expire.

To ensure that they do not go to waste, regularly check the status of your bonus account and receive rewards.

Bonuses are canceled for several reasons:

• Expiration date.
• Changing the tariff for a package that is not included in the loyalty program.
• Termination of contract with Megafon.
• Change of client status (from individual to legal entity).

The benefits received through the exchange must also be used within a time limit, usually a calendar month.

Please pay attention to one more condition posted on the Megafon website.

Bonus activation conditions:
