MTS Bonus: profitable program or operator scam?


Surely you have heard about the MTS Bonus savings scheme, the essence of which is to collect special points that can be exchanged for discounts and pleasant rewards from the provider.

The program has existed for a long time, but since September 3, 2021, the company has radically changed the conditions for its functioning. Innovations affected ways to accumulate points (many popular features have disappeared, for example, bonuses for inviting a friend), as well as methods of joining.

www.bonus.mts.ru is the official website of the program (to be more precise, the correct email address is https://bonus.ssl.mts.ru/), pay attention to the announcement on the start screen. It is there that the number of opportunities for new registrations has been reduced.

Connecting to the service

Previously, any subscriber of a cellular operator could become a member. Today only a few have the opportunity:

  • for purchases paid with MTS Money plastic, as well as with cards of the operator’s partners: MTS-Raiffeisenbank, MTS-Citibank, MTS-Sberbank (the conditions do not apply to other card accounts of these banks.)
