Each mobile operator has a bonus program. It is designed to attract customers to certain services or encourage them to use a number of services. MTS also has such a program and it is called "MTS Bonus". By connecting it, the user is periodically credited with bonuses, which, if sufficient, can be exchanged for various rewards. We will talk about how to activate bonuses on MTS and how to use them in this article.

1. Attract the subscriber's attention to various services,
2. Promote the company on the market and attract more subscribers (brands such as MTS Money or MGTS are created for the same purpose),
3. Creation of a client base,
4. Encouragement to use the company's products.

The longer the client is served by MTS, the more he is encouraged. For experience, the cellular operator accrues more points. This is another way to retain customers and build a permanent customer base.

The MTS company on the official website informs that the MTS bonus program, which is already not particularly attractive, is closed.

After this accumulation will become inaccessible, the subscriber will no longer be able to use them.

"MTS Bonus" is a fairly old bonus program, the points received could be spent on traffic, minutes, SMS, discount coupons and much more. Recently, it has become less profitable, the cost of rewards has risen. As for the current tariffs, they have acquired solid packages of minutes and traffic. Accumulating bonuses has become unprofitable - they burn out faster than they accumulate.

In order to save up for the unfortunate 1 GB internet package, I had to wait 11 months, limiting myself in receiving other rewards.

The bonus program was only beneficial for subscribers spending large sums. But they, as a rule, do not know about any bonuses - it is easier for them to pay for additional minutes, Internet traffic and options.

Alternative

The operator thanked all its clients who actively participated in the MTS Bonus and recommended spending all the points accumulated on the account by May 14th. From May 15, the loyalty program ceases to operate and all points are automatically canceled.

But instead of bonuses, the mobile operator offers its subscribers another way to save money, which is considered more modern and popular. Thanks to this, you can get up to 50% discount when buying familiar products.

1. More than 290 of the most popular online stores and services participate in the program.
2. Cashback reaches 50% of the amount spent.
3. You can get points not only for purchases on the Internet, but also for paying for operator services.
4. You can use the accumulated money to pay for communications, the Internet and other services. It is permissible to pay for purchases in branded communication stores.

The service is easy to use on the website and in a special application
MTS Cashback. You will learn about the accrual of points from messages, as well as in your personal account and in the mobile application.

All customers who participate in the program receive 200 rubles in cashback for their first purchase. Encouragement is also waiting for those people who invite friends, they are awarded up to 1000 points.

When participating in the program, the subscriber is automatically connected to the service - replenishment of the balance of the number.

What can you spend the accumulated bonuses on?

You can find out how many points you have in your account in your account. They can be exchanged for the following services:

• To pay for mobile communications. This includes free minutes, messages and additional internet traffic;
• To install melodies instead of beeps;
• For various entertainment subscriptions;
• For the use of the library;
• Payment for home Internet and television.

For all customers who did not have time to spend their points from the MTS Bonus program before May 14 inclusive, they are canceled. The company does not accept further claims in this regard.

MTS has had the MTS-Bonus program since time immemorial. She worked like this. Every time you topped up your account or kept more money on it than you need to pay for the tariff, you were awarded some points.

These points are slowly but surely accumulating. You can spend them on several things:

Of all such "loyalty programs", MTS has had the most interesting ways to spend bonuses. I went to their menu repeatedly and managed to save not only on communications (for example, I made myself free traffic), but also tangible things. I customized the same pendants for a friend.

But over the past year and a half, MTS-Bonus has been quietly "poor", losing the most interesting points of "cashing out" bonuses. Now it became clear why.

The MTS-Bonus program has closed today, all bonuses have been canceled

Yesterday was the last day of the MTS-Bonus program. Information about this hangs in the corresponding section of the application.

All bonuses that were not spent before midnight, burned out today.

MTS did not offer any normal replacement for this program. Almost.

Instead of MTS-Bonus, they now offer to use the service MTS Cashback. But it works in a completely different way. Instead of just paying a tariff, there you need to spend money on purchases and services offered by the service.

Considering how many similar services already exist on the Internet, I personally don’t see any point in using MTS Cashback. And the offers are there. absolutely nothing.

It's sad, but happy at the same time. Now it will be a little easier for me personally to leave MTS.

I am not writing here in the hope that something will change - our operators are impenetrable, if they make a decision, they will not change anything. Just an example of how we are slowly being deprived of good things for the sake of profit.

At MTS, the upcoming closure of the bonus program, which was quite popular with customers, was explained by the fact that it had lost its relevance. But in return, it is already offered other services, more modern and profitable. About it Federal news agency reported in the press service of the company.

Clients of one of the leading mobile operators in Russia received SMS messages stating that the MTS Bonus program is closing on May 15, and they are invited to have time to use their previously accumulated points, otherwise they will simply burn out after the specified date.

“Modern MTS tariffs fully satisfy the needs for communication services,” the press service said. - They include a lot of Internet, large packages of minutes and SMS to all operators at home and on trips around the country.

Under these conditions, the MTS Bonus service has lost its relevance.

It is also noted that the company creates and develops new services that are more suitable for current conditions and allow savings. We are talking, in particular, about the MTS Cashback service, which allows you not to pay for communication at all, making the usual purchases on the Web.

There are also convergent offers of the All MTS service, when when connecting fixed-line services, mobile is already provided free of charge. And, finally, it is proposed to issue a bank card "MTS Smart Money": thanks to it, you can get a 100% discount on the fee at your own rate.

“These are simple and understandable ways to get communication discounts that most fully meet modern trends and customer requests,” the press service concluded.

Available bonus points can be spent on mobile communication services (packages of minutes, SMS and mobile Internet), melodies instead of beeps, entertainment (subscriptions to entertainment services) and MTS Library service options.

The bonus program has been operating since the late 2000s. By the way, the company refused to name the exact number of clients who used it, limiting itself to only one phrase: "We do not disclose."

Earlier in MTS about the launch of the WASD.TV media platform for cybersportsmen.

One of the leading Russian mobile operators MTS has long ago launched a bonus program for its customers. Its participants, with each replenishment of their account, received a certain number of points that could be written off for the purchase of additional services.

But the program turned out to be unattractive for customers over time, so it was closed on May 15, 2019, and customers were invited to join a new loyalty club called “MTS Cashback”. Therefore, in the review, we will talk in detail about the personal account of the new program and its advantages.

Previously, in the MTS Bonus account, it was possible to track the balance of accumulated points and spend them on a purchase:

• additional minutes of conversation or Internet traffic;
• SMS or MMS;
• ringtones, games or videos;
• buying a new gadget.

The new MTS Cashback project allows you to receive up to 50% bonuses from purchases in partner stores of the mobile operator. And the available points can be used to pay for mobile communications to yourself or loved ones, or used as a discount when shopping at MTS stores.
