However, there are certain differences from the services that well-known cashback services usually provide. We will look into what they are in this article.

Brief information about MTS

Public Joint Stock Company (PJSC) "Mobile TeleSystems" was created on the basis of a consortium that in 1992 took part in a competition and became the winner of a license to provide cellular communication services of the GSM-900 standard.

Now MTS PJSC is a large group of companies represented in the markets of Russia, Belarus, Armenia, Ukraine, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan.

The main owner of Mobile TeleSystems is the holding of AFK Sistema owned by Vladimir Yevtushenkov, which owns a 53.47% stake. The remaining shares are traded on stock exchanges in London, New York, Berlin, Munich, and Moscow . The British company Vodafone is a strategic partner.

MTS PJSC provides the following services:

• cellular communications of GSM, 3G, 4G standards for subscribers in Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and Armenia;
• APN, VPA, telephone answering machines and others for corporate clients;
• wired telephony through, where Mobile TeleSystems acts as the main shareholder;
• wired Internet for individuals and legal entities in Russia;
• Mobile Internet;
• cable, satellite and mobile television.

In addition to the above, it is developing its own network of retail stores selling mobile equipment on the Russian market. In the spring of 2018, the network consisted of 5.7 thousand communication stores . In branded stores you can purchase mobile devices from the brands Honor, Samsung, Apple, Xiaomi, Huawei, Asus, Nokia and others.

The domain shop.mts.ru operates a branded online store that allows you to purchase smartphones, tablets, quadcopters, smart watches, fitness bracelets and other equipment online.

How cashback works in MTS

A year ago, a service for receiving MTS cashback for purchases made in partner online stores appeared on the website cashback.mts.ru. Currently, 670 retail outlets are connected to the system , including such well-known platforms as Aliexpress, Booking, Eldorado, Sportmaster, Citylink, Aviasales, Biglion, iHerb and others.

Available refund rates are shown on each store card. This can be either a percentage of the purchase price or some fixed amount.

To receive MTS cashback, the user must complete the following steps:

1. Register on the cashback.mts.ru site or in the corresponding mobile application.
2. Go to the catalog of partner stores.
3. Select the desired trading platform.
4. Use the special button to go to the online store website.
5. Decide on the product and place it in the cart.
6. Place an order and pay for it in any convenient way.

The difference from the standard understanding of cashback, as interpreted using the example of Secret Discounter, LetyShops and other similar services, is that the money is accumulated in a special account in the form of a separate discount . Then it either goes to replenish your mobile phone number (at the beginning of each month), or, after accumulating the required number of bonuses, to purchase a smartphone in chain stores .

The period for accrual of cash back from MTS takes up to 90 days. The disadvantage is that the resource does not display enrollment history . Therefore, after a purchase, it is not clear to the client whether the transition to the online store was counted and whether he should expect a refund.

The confirmation period is sooooo long. Not every user will remember after 90 days what he bought and for how much. Since history is not provided, tracking cashback is quite problematic .

In the future, the developers are going to eliminate the shortcoming with the cashback accrual list. At least, this is what technical support says in response to user requests. But when this will be done is not announced.

Money will be credited to your account when the store confirms the purchase. The client will be notified by receiving an SMS.

There is one more nuance - cashback in MTS is reduced or increased to whole numbers according to rounding rules. That is, an amount of 1.3 rubles is rounded up to 1 ruble, for a cash back of 1.8 rubles they will pay 2 rubles. It follows that cashbacks up to 0.5 rubles are not paid.

Invite a friend

I'll swear again!

Well, if the company really and down to the smallest detail cannot create a normal program with cashback from MTS, then should we endure this again?

Why eat undercooked pasta if you're not Italian?

In fact, I like al dente, not a very good example, but indicative.

The meaning of the referral program here is the same as with other services: you have a promotional code that you can send to your friends in order to invite them to register in this torture program.

Once they sign up, you get cashback from them. Maximum you can get a percentage return for 10 friends . Anything more is no longer friendship, you simply don’t know how to be friends, so be happy with what you have. Moreover, you can send out as many invitations as you like.

But the main thing is not written in the “Questions and Answers” ​​column - how much money will I get from this.

It’s not written here, and there’s nowhere else to look.

Let's say I don't have an MTS SIM card. How will I know if I should get one for such great deals?

The most interesting thing is that this information is not even in the program rules.

And how can I get it?

How can you use GLOBAL cashback from MTS if they don’t give you any information?

Catalog of stores on the Cashback.MTS site

The website states that the platform already includes 670 services and online stores. Of these, 5 belong to MTS itself.

As with most other resources that provide cashback, the catalog with trading platforms is divided into categories depending on the purpose of the goods or services. The following categories are distinguished:

• online stores (groceries, cosmetics, household appliances and electronics, car parts, gifts, health products, books, pet supplies, etc.);
• entertainment and leisure (tickets for concerts, performances and other events, coupons, books);
• services and services in medicine, transport, insurance, flower and food delivery, coupon services;
• travel (ordering air, train and bus tickets, booking tours and hotels);
• booking restaurants with different types of cuisine. The presence of such a service with cashback makes it stand out among other similar platforms;
• offline retail stores;
• MTS services (GOOD'OK, Music, TV, branded online store).

Online stores with increased cashback are included in a separate category.

Let's compare rates for some online stores with other cashback sites. Since each platform has its own options for increasing rates, for the sake of objectivity we will take only those trading platforms where increasing coefficients are not used. The results are shown in the table.

As you can see, the rates are approximately the same in comparison with other cashback services. But there is a significant difference: if you are a subscriber of another mobile operator, cashback from MTS is a priori unavailable to you (see footnote below).

We remind you for those who are looking for how to withdraw money from MTS cashback that this resource only allows you to accumulate points and use them to top up your mobile number or buy a smartphone. Real money is not credited or withdrawn . This is what distinguishes the platform from other cashback services.

The benefit is in question!

Although the program has a number of disadvantages, it is simply impossible to make a conclusion without checking its profitability.

After all, this is a savings service, which means the whole point is in the rates, so I decided to take several stores and compare cashback from MTS and competitors, and then we will make a decision.

I will swear again. This is just some kind of mockery! I can't see all the bets if there are several of them. That is, there is a main page where there is a list of stores with maximum rates.

For example, Ali usually offers from 1 to 6%.

Our “friend” has the designation “up to 5%” cashback on Aliexpress on the main page.

But we all know what “before” is.

So I clicked on the store, and it asked for my password and phone number.

How long have we had to submit our data just to look at the offers?

Maybe when entering Auchan I should show my registration or a photo of how full the refrigerator is?

What kind of idiocy?

Sometimes it seems to me that MTS does not think about its clients at all.

A few words about Auchan - following the link, I wrote an article for you about how to save money in this store on bank cards and services. Read it, it will be useful.

For example, I’m interested in Ozone because it has several product categories and different cashback for each - it’s very profitable, but the site doesn’t want me to know the rates.

For this ridiculous reason, I selected stores that had good reviews and only 1 cashback rate from MTS on everything: on different product categories for new and regular customers.

Interesting on the topic: Cashback for paying for cellular communications

As a specialist, this is not difficult for me to do.

But other people also need to compare.

Installing the application

You can receive cashback in MTS from various devices. Access to the site through a browser is available both on desktop computers and laptops, as well as on smartphones and tablets. In addition, mobile applications are available for Android and iOS operating systems.

The MTS Cashback Android application is downloaded from the official Google Play resource. Installation does not take much time and is similar to any other program for a smartphone. The required operating system version is 4.2 and higher.

For the iOS operating system, the corresponding application is downloaded from the App Store. Installs on iPod touch, iPad and iPhone. Requirement for iOS is version 9.2 and later.

How to transfer MTS cashback to a card

Many people are interested in the question of how to withdraw accrued money to a card or using electronic payment systems. The answer is simple and not very reassuring - no way . The program from the leader of the telecommunications market does not provide for the withdrawal of money from its system . Only 2 options :

• mobile phone number replenishment;
• accumulation of funds and subsequent purchase of a phone in a company store.

All accounts are linked to an MTS number. Cashback on purchases from corporate numbers can only be used for smartphone purchases . This goal is set by default in your account after registration.

Individuals can set different savings goals . By default, the task is to accumulate funds to replenish the main number. At the same time, you can specify the numbers of family members or friends, where money will also be transferred. It is also possible to purchase a smartphone. Each goal has a limit and priority. When one task is completed, cashback will begin to accumulate towards another goal.

is not withdrawn to any bank card . Electronic payment systems are also not available.

Cash withdrawal conditions

The Bank's client can freely make both non-cash payments and cash withdrawals, subject to a positive balance. The transaction fee depends on whether the cardholder is attempting to withdraw personal or credit funds, as well as the withdrawal method selected. The answer to the question “Can I withdraw cash from the MTS cash register?” – this is, of course, “Yes”, but you should choose the interest-free option.

Withdrawals

The maximum daily and monthly limits are set at 50,000 and 600,000 rubles, respectively.

Cashback in MTS from offline stores

In December last year, the cashback resource from MTS conducted an experimental campaign to return money from purchases in offline stores. This function has already been implemented in the Edadil application, which we wrote about in the previous article.

The following retail outlets and manufacturers were selected for the promotion:

• Econika stores in Novosibirsk, Barnaul, Surgut and Magnitogorsk. For a purchase amount of 5 thousand rubles or more, the client can return 7% to the account in the application;
• Lego brand stores in the Northern capital. Returned 10% for purchasing a Lego City set;
• all offline stores of the Perekrestok chain, for the purchase of Exo ice cream in which it was possible to return 15% of the purchase price.

More promotions are expected in the future.

To successfully receive cashback for an offline purchase, you must:

1. Find in the service catalog the product or store where the information is posted.
2. Visit a retail outlet, purchase a promotional item and pick up a cash receipt.
3. Place the check in a well-lit place in a vertical or horizontal position.
4. In the MTC Cashback mobile application for iOS or Android, click the QR code scanner button.
5. Using your smartphone camera, scan the code on the receipt.

If the receipt is undamaged, scanning will occur automatically. Verification takes up to 30 days. If the purchase of promotional items is confirmed, cash back will be transferred to the user’s account. A store receipt can only be used once.

Partner stores

These are long-time good friends of everyone who likes online shopping: ASOS, Aliexpress, LaModa, Carey, Booking, M.Video, Ozon and others. Moreover, the interest rates of some of them are quite favorable. So, in accordance with the terms of MTS cashback at Aliexpress they are 7%, at Booking - 5%, and at Perekrestok as much as 15%!

Of course, the operator focuses on products and services of its own production. There it is possible to receive up to 50% cashback, and much faster than with partners (usually it takes one day).

The following are subject to the increased cashback interest rate:

• All products of the MTS online store;
• Communication service provided for MTS clients;
• Paid Internet services of the operator (books, music);
• Electronic wallet “MTS Money”.

From time to time, the service holds seasonal promotions, and then the interest rate for cashback from some stores increases. For example, on Black Friday in 2021 it was possible to return a larger percentage on AliExpress and Lamoda.

How to use MTS cashback to buy a new phone

If there is sufficient accumulation of funds in the personal account that are accrued for purchases made, the client has the opportunity to issue a certificate for the purchase of a new smartphone in the branded stores of the mobile operator. To do this, just make an application in the application or program, after which you will receive an SMS with an MTS cashback promotional code .

During the purchase process, just show the promotional code in your phone to the seller. Using a certificate, you can pay up to 100% of the cost of a new smartphone , with the exception of 1 ruble, which you still have to pay at the checkout (but this is more of a legislative problem).

When filling out an application, you can order only one certificate for a smartphone at a time, although their number is not limited during the entire period of using the service. You must use the promotional code one time. Therefore, it is worth choosing a mobile device that will be as close as possible to the certificate’s value. Only one certificate can be used for one smartphone.

The denominations of the certificates are as follows:

• 100 and 500 rubles;
• from 1000 to 3000 rubles in increments of 1000 rubles;
• from 5,000 to 30,000 rubles in increments of 5,000 rubles;
• from 40,000 to 80,000 rubles in increments of 10,000 rubles.

Once the certificate is issued, it can be transferred or gifted to someone else.

Mathematics is in our favor

An interesting thing: The mobile operator acts honestly towards its customers and rounds numbers to the nearest whole number according to the laws of mathematics, and not in its direction.

Let me give you an example:

• Petya bought something for 105 rubles with a 3% cashback . According to simple calculations, he gets 3.15 rubles, but since the number is rounded to the nearest whole, it turns out to be only 3 rubles. Yes, it was a bit disappointing.
• Petya bought something for 120 rubles with a 4% return . The same simple calculations gave us a refund of 3.6 rubles in cashback from MTS, but since the number is rounded to the nearest whole, they will return as much as 4 rubles! This is how Petya will get rich.

MTS cashback referral program

In the period from July 4, 2021 to July 3, 2021 (the period may be extended later), the mobile operator, in order to attract more attention to its resource, is holding a campaign to invite friends . a promotional code from MTS cashback in their personal account This code can be shared with friends and acquaintances.

As soon as a new user registers in the service, he will become a referral of the person who invited him. The last person referred will receive 30 rubles as an incentive (but only after he makes his first purchase with cashback). In total, as we understand from the terms of the MTS affiliate program, you can only receive a reward for the first 10 invited friends , which is complete nonsense, because in other cashback services you get your % for the purchases of all your friends, always!

Also, as part of the promotion, the person who invited receives a percentage of each confirmed referral cashback. Bonuses will be credited within 24 hours after confirmation of the purchase by the online store. The user receives a notification about the referral payment in the form of SMS. You need to look at the rates inside the program.

Overall, the referral program is not very interesting. There is an expiration date and the rules do not say how the percentage will be paid on your referrals' purchases. Therefore, there are fears that after July 3, payments will stop.

If you want to make money from affiliate programs of cashback services , we recommend that you look at this article.

How to connect to the service

To register in the system, you need to provide your phone number and receive a temporary password for first access. You will immediately be prompted to change it to permanent and provide your email address. Subsequently, login will be carried out using the subscriber’s phone number and the established code.

After registration, add cashback savings goals. This is necessary so that the points you earn do not automatically go towards paying for your phone.

What bonuses exist for MTS Cashback users:

1. When creating a new account, the company gives 15 welcome rubles;
2. If you make a purchase on the same day for an amount of 100 rubles or more, you will receive another 200 rubles cashback;
3. You can earn additional points by recommending the service to your friends. For each registered user, 100 rubles cashback will be credited, but only after he makes his first purchase. However, there is one caveat: the maximum you can receive money is only for the first 10 attracted people. The rest are no longer paid;
4. When you share a promotional code with friends, you have the opportunity to win up to 1000 rubles cashback.

Required steps to credit MTS cashback

The transition to the partner store's website is tracked using special cookies. Due to some settings, these files may not work, and the trading platform does not see where the buyer came from. As a result, if the actions are practically correct, the client will not receive cashback.

To prevent this from happening, the telecommunications company recommends adhering to the following recommendations :

• check your browser for ad blockers and, if found, disable them;
• make sure that your browser does not block cookies;
• disable browser extensions from other cashback services;
• do not make purchases in incognito browser mode;
• if you were in an online store before visiting the website cashback.mts.ru, you need to empty your cart and exit your personal account;
• make purchases within one session after going to the trading platform website;
• wait for the page to fully load if you pay for an order on the site.

The payment method does not affect the accrual of cashback. It will come both when you pay by card on the website, and in cash upon courier delivery to your home.

Summary

“MTS Cashback” is a classic cashback service from a popular mobile operator. To use it, you do not have to be an MTS subscriber.

Among the disadvantages is that the service does not allow you to withdraw cash and only awards cashback in the form of bonus points, which cannot be spent on everything.

If you use another operator, you may be able to find better deals. If you are the owner of an MTS SIM card, you can save a lot on paying for tariff plans and additional services.

Reviews about MTS cashback

Evaluating reviews of MTS Cashback helps you understand how well the service works and returns money. 433 people shared their opinions on the App Store . The average score received is 3.0 . Customer dissatisfaction is caused by the lack of purchase history , which makes it difficult to track accruals.

Android owners gave it a higher rating on Google Play - an average of 3.9 . 4894 people shared their opinion. There are both positive and negative reviews. But there is still more negativity. They complain about long enrollment times or their absence at all . Many users are faced with the fact that money never arrives, and technical support makes standard unsubscribes.

There are complaints about the operation of both the application and the service through the website. Purchases are simply not identified , and accordingly no cashback is awarded. The end result is a negative user experience.

They also write that it is not possible to scan receipts . Although, in this case, it is possible that users themselves have not figured it out and are scanning receipts for promotions that have already expired.

There are also problems with referrals . When using a promotional code to register with cash back.mts.ru, users are unable to log in. After each fix, new bugs appear.

Also, cashback did not work even when purchasing subscriptions to services from MTS through the platform.

Perhaps the problems are related specifically to the operation of the application. Experienced shoppers who often use cashback services know that cashbacks are often lost through apps. The reason is that online stores are reluctant to accept cookies in such cases. A similar problem occurs with many cashback platforms.

On Otzovik, user opinions are also not in favor of the new site. Only 1 out of 22 reviews is positive .
All other people faced the same problems as described above.

"Lamoda"

It seems that this online clothing store has almost captured our market. Cars from Lamoda are seen every day, and at the post office there are boxes with their brand. There was one difficult time when Lamoda stopped cooperation with almost all cashback services except Letishops.

This is not the only strange act on their part: in any service, if you decide to use its referral program and invite a friend, under no circumstances should you mention Lamoda.

Otherwise, the service will simply block you, and your money will burn in a blue flame.

MTS offers a 5% refund on any order on Lamoda. Let's see what competitors offer.

Competitors

Megabonus this time did not distinguish itself from the most pleasant side: it offers only 1.66% cashback from an order on Lamoda.

These are pennies compared to MTS!

Even the minimum withdrawal requirement of 1.5 bucks won’t help the situation much.

Although in other categories this service sometimes has NO EQUAL discount percentages. Read more here.

Cashback.ru offers the same 5%.

But here it is very convenient to list additional promotional codes for a discount that you can apply and not be afraid that the cashback will disappear.

But the minimum wage of 500 rubles is a minus.

“Kopikot” is not original and gives the same 5%.

• They all agreed there, or what?
• The minimum wage is the same – 500 rubles.
• But I almost never recommend this service, because its rates are often lower than the market average.
• His reputation is not very good in my eyes.
• Guess how much Letishops offers?
• Already the usual 5 percent.
• Yeah, not much fun.

But the advantage of Letishops is that the rate can increase in several ways.

The easiest one is to find a promotional code to increase cashback by 30%.

With me you don't even have to look.

According to legend, using the last two promotional codes will give the key to happiness: the minimum wage for a mobile phone and WebMoney will start from 1 ruble.

But either I’m already too happy, or I’m just a loser - such a miracle did not happen to me. And I was really looking forward to it.

We didn’t consider the main thing!

If the base rate at Letishops is 5% and it increases by 30%, then you get 6.5% cashback on Lamoda.

Beauty!

More profitable than all other options!

Who would have thought that Letishops still had gunpowder in its flasks?

Mini-conclusion : the offer from MTS for Lamoda is at an average level, but not the most profitable, so we cannot give it a plus here.

MTS cashback card

Among them, it is proposed to issue a credit or debit card “MTS Money Weekend” with the possibility of receiving cash back for payments in various establishments and the purchase of goods. The fee for issuing such a card is 299 rubles.

With this card you can receive cashback in the amount of:

• up to 10% for purchasing subscriptions to movies, music, buying games, ordering flowers, Medsi clinic services;
• 5% for taxi services, visiting bars, restaurants, cafes, purchasing shoes, clothing, sporting goods;
• 1% for all other payments in online and offline stores.

During the week from Monday to Sunday, the client can use the card for payment. Cashback is credited to your account every subsequent Friday. The maximum payment per month is 3,000 rubles.

Card servicing is carried out under the following conditions:

• monthly payment is 99 rubles;
• There is no service fee for the first 2 months;
• if you spend more than 15,000 rubles on purchases per month. or monthly storage on the card of an amount from 30,000 rubles. Payment is also not charged.

If you keep more than 1000 rubles on the card for a month, then 6% per annum is charged on the balance. For amounts from 300,000 rubles. the rate is reduced to 4%.

There are withdrawal limits for the card:

• 50,000 rub. daily;
• 300,000 rub. monthly.

The difference from the MTS Cashback platform is that the refund is made in real money .
The client himself has the right to decide where to spend it in the future.

What to do if cashback is not credited?

A few tips will help you in a situation where the MTS Cashback program does not count points or they take too long to arrive.

1. Contact the contact number (0890) for specialist advice if the enrollment deadline has long passed.
2. Look carefully at the deadline for transferring bonus points; if the specified framework (for example, 50 days) is still relevant, then you should not worry.
3. If you did not receive cashback due to the fault of the seller, also contact MTS support service. This issue will be resolved.
4. Please note that payments for cellular services are made only on the 1st of the month.

How to withdraw cashback to MTS Money

In the article we consider 3 options for returning money in Mobile TeleSystems services. Let’s look again at how you can send cash back to MTS Money.

Let us remind you that on the cashback.mts.ru platform the user is returned not real money, but bonuses . They can be accumulated and used to implement only 2 functions: replenishing a mobile number and purchasing a smartphone. Transfers from the platform to the wallet are not provided.

The Weekend card allows you to return money from purchases in online and offline stores, as well as for using the services of various services. The money is returned to your account every Friday.

How to change the purpose for writing off cashback?

Authorized users can change or add a goal at any moment through their Personal Account on the website or in the application. To do this, you will need to go to the “My Cashback” tab.

We have already said that MTS subscribers have a priority of paying their mobile bill, while non-subscribers have a priority of purchasing a discount certificate for a phone or other device. Let's see how they can be changed or combined.

At least one goal must always be present. To change it, you need to add a new goal. In our case, this is replenishing the MTS account of friends or relatives.

You will be asked to indicate which number you want to deposit and then the maximum amount to withdraw:

You can now complete two goals or remove an unnecessary goal.

Note

: There can be only one goal “Buying a smartphone”, but “Replenishing MTS balance” can have several.

Please note that cashback is credited to your account on the 1st for the entire previous month and at the same time is automatically debited for the established goals. This is why you need balance replenishment limits - they can always be changed.

How to top up your phone account using MTS cashback

The cashback.mts.ru platform is used to accumulate points for purchases. On the site or inside the application, you can set goals, for which you need to accumulate bonuses. All confirmed cashbacks at the beginning of the next month are automatically transferred to the user’s mobile phone number.

The Weekend card is serviced through the online banking system. One of the possible services is to pay for mobile communications. The returned money can be used to implement such a task.

Cashback in the MTS online store

Among the partner stores in the catalog of the cashback.mts.ru platform there is also a branded online store of Mobile TeleSystems. This trading platform is also available on other similar platforms. The only difference is that third-party cashback services return real money . At the same time, on the site from the telecom operator, a rate of 1% is offered, and in cashback services you can find a rate of up to 2.5% .

Using the Secret Discounter cashback service as an example, let’s look at how to get money back from a purchase in a branded online store.

First you need to go through the registration procedure. Customers can choose to use either an email address or social media accounts. Be sure to verify your account using the link that will be sent in the email.

Next you need to log in to the site. Just enter the name in the search bar at the top of the site. When the list appears, you need to select the site you are looking for.

On the store page you can see the proposed rates. To do this, you need to click on the “All rates and conditions” link in the upper left corner.

If everything suits you, then you can click on the yellow button in the center and go to the online store.

After finding the product, you need to place it in the cart. Next, fill out the form to submit a purchase application. As soon as the order is placed, cashback will immediately appear in your account. You can withdraw the money after the trading platform confirms the fact of purchasing the goods. Then the client spends the returned funds at his own discretion.

MTS user personal account

To get your MTS cashback personal account at your disposal, follow the link cashback.mts.ru to the official website and select “My Account”. To authorize, you will need to obtain an access password. Therefore, users select the appropriately named option and see a special window. Enter your phone number, captcha and click “Next”. Then, having received the password in an SMS message, they use it to log into the account. At this point, registration is completed, and the user receives full access to all functions of the personal account.

When logging into your account using the MTS cash back mobile application, no password is required, authorization occurs automatically using your phone number.

In your personal account, you can view your account status. To do this, use the buttons located in the top block, allowing you to:

• check balance;
• top up your account with a bank card;
• activate the "Autopayment" function.

If you actively use the cash back program, you can forget about the need to pay a subscription fee. Otherwise, it won’t hurt to personally monitor the balance. Under the account status information block there are “Service Packages”, displaying information about the volume of Internet traffic, minutes for calls, SMS messages.

To control where funds are spent in the MTS system, the Personal Account provides a “My Expenses” section. To analyze expenses, the user, using a calendar, sets a time period of up to 3 months. After this, the system displays how much money was spent and where. To assess the total amount of expenses in individual areas, the section contains a pie chart. If you hover the cursor over a segment of the circle, a tooltip will appear showing the amount of spending for the selected service category.

To study the complete payment history in detail, use the “Detailed Statistics” menu subsection. This section is also used in cases where you need to view an unsaved caller number. But to search, you will need to at least approximately remember the date of the call, otherwise it will not be easy to find useful information in the abundance of detailed data for each user action.

At the bottom there is an information block that opens access to management and allows you to independently switch to a new plan. By clicking on it, the user will see three subsections:

• for special occasions;
• for computer and tablet;
• for phone and smartphone.

The “All Services” function allows you to manage options associated with a phone number. For the convenience of users, filtering is provided in two categories - paid and free. You can connect the function you are interested in or remove the unnecessary one with one click of the mouse.

The settings section allows you to:

• see who the number is registered to;
• block your SIM card if you lose your smartphone;
• link other MTS numbers to the current one, which allows you to control the costs of mobile communications of loved ones and top up the balance of their cell phones;
• view the full list of numbers linked to your passport data.

In comparison with the mobile application from MTS, the personal account is more functional, differing in that it provides:

• access to a full list of services;
• comprehensive information on tariff plans;
• a complete list of executed contracts and numbers;
• the ability to block your numbers;
• settings of SMS messages for authorization and confirmation of actions;
• the ability to send passport data to confirm the use of the number, as required by law, without personally visiting an MTS communication salon.

conclusions

Let's summarize the review. The oldest mobile operator in Russia has decided to expand its services for regular customers by creating a cashback platform. When making purchases in online stores (offline stores are gradually being added), points are returned to the user’s account. They can be used to top up your phone or purchase smartphones. Interaction is carried out through the platform in the browser or using an application.

So far, the cashback platform from MTS looks damp . Not everything suits clients. The main complaints are as follows:

• Refunds are made not in money, but in bonuses. The client cannot withdraw them to a card or wallet in an electronic payment system. Limited use suggested;
• long accrual period of 90 days, when alternative cashback services produce confirmation on average in 30-45 days;
• There is no order tracking history. Clients are notified upon enrollment via SMS. It is completely unclear how to track all purchases;
• cashbacks are lost, and technical support does not help resolve the issue;
• there are frequent crashes in the operation of applications for iOS and Android;
• From time to time, applications do not allow you to scan receipts for promotions in offline stores.

From all this the conclusion follows that the platform should be further developed. Two other offers for receiving cashback on MTS resources are well worth their use. They can be recommended now for reasonable cost savings. Well, if you need a reliable cashback service that will definitely return your money for purchases on the Internet and not only, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with our rating of the best cashback services .

"Aviasales"

If we have already looked at the hotel, then we need to look for air tickets. Aviasales will help with this.

• I really love this service, because there you can search for tickets not only for specific dates, but for any dates - as long as they are cheaper.
• You can also look for cheaper tickets not to a specific location, but to a region for specific dates.

For example:

• In Russia;
• Beach holiday;
• Schengen Area;
• Asia and so on.

In general, if you haven’t bought air tickets yourself yet, because you were afraid to do it, then go to Aviasales - it’s very simple and understandable for everyone.

MTS offers to return 1% from this service.

It’s impossible to say right away whether this is a lot or a little, because it greatly depends on the cost of tickets.

But for me it’s always not enough, not 50% return. Let's see if any of the competitors will satisfy my requests?

Competitors

• My favorite “SecretDiscounter” offers 0.7% on the purchase of air tickets. Yes, not much, but this money can be immediately transferred to charity if you want. The owners of the service do just that with part of their profits. If you don’t want to, the minimum for withdrawal is 350 rubles.
• Letishops has a lower initial rate - 0.65%, but according to our scheme it can be raised to 0.85%, which will still be lower than that of MTS. Is this mobile operator really going to have another plus?
• "EPN" offers to return 1.4% from the purchase of air tickets. That's it, let MTS cry now! Yes, yes, I'm still against him. My blog is why I tell you honestly all the shortcomings and make fun of them.
• “Cashback.ru” has not won our competitions yet, which is very strange. And now he won’t receive his medal either, since with Aviasales he returns only 1.3%.

Mini-conclusion: this time MTS was unlucky again; it was easily bypassed by two services . And the winner has a minimum wage of only 20 cents, so there is no point in arguing about the benefits here: everything is already obvious.

Mini life hack: Since I love my readers very much, I will share with you another life hack for saving money.

Aviasales is an excellent service for finding tickets, but you can buy it at a lower price.

There are many other intermediaries between the airline and the buyer.

Take, for example, “OneTwoTrip”: here, for the purchase of the same air ticket, “Cashback.ru” will return 1.75% of the cost.

A similar life hack can be done when booking a hotel.

For example, book not directly through Booking, but start from the Rumguru or Ostrovok website.

On the latter, there is generally a cashback of up to 6%, where you will find the best price offer for the hotel.

1. If it is “Booking”, then go to it and book as usual.
2. If not Booking, then you will be glad that you saved more.

And remember my main rule of saving: compare different options as much as possible.

But this is not all the offers from the mobile operator.

MTS also has its own bank card. Let's look at her.
