MTN And Glo New Way Of Ripping Customers by naijanative: 12:33pm On Jun 02, 2018 |
Background - I load all my airtime online: Quickteller, Bank etc Event 1. Glo I loaded airtime N550 on my line online. The intention was to use it and buy data 1G for N500. I even put overage of N50 because of the fact they routinely subscribe customers to their useless VAS. The transaction was successful. Received SMS Shortly I received this: N2200 bonus Attempted to subscribe to data: Insufficient credit was the response Called Glo Customer Care: They told me that they updated their Terms and Conditions, that once I load airtime online or physically with a particular code, it automatically becomes subscribed to Glo X4 Promo. Where all your airtime is converted to promo. It did not make sense to me. So because I load airtime online that I get this punishment? I asked them to reverse it so that I can buy data buy. They refused citing their T & C. I contacted NCC who are yet to do anything about it. Though they have asked Glo to respond to my request. Glo is yet to respond. MTN I decided to ditch Glo and load my MTN. Bought airtime online to subscribe to data. Here are the screenshots: They credited me with N500 and loaded all the money as a bonus Attempted to load data: the same issue again. Called them, they promised to look into it within 24 hours, a stark difference to Glo. I have no problem with buying bonus bundles with the main account. But customers should make that decision. I have checked NCC regulations. It shows this crap may have passed through them. But this is not about changing Tariff, it is about converting your money to something else illegally. I checked why they are doing this: I looked at Glo X4 Promo. The bonus expires within 15 - 30 days. Local tariff X4 normal rate 45k/s as against 11k/s I enjoy in my main account. With the money in my main account, I get about 83 mins call without fear of airtime expiring(N550 @11k/s). With their X4 Promo @ 2200, 45k/s I get 81 minutes call with 1-month expiry. Essentially this is no promo but fraud. See table below: For data , I will get 733MB as against 1024MB if I subscribed. I have no issue with converting main credit to X4, X100 etc promo. But I need to use my hand to do that subscription. I remember when Airtel kept calling me to subscribe to X whatever promo. I will ask them to do the calculation - they literally, normally end the call. To me that's fine. This is not right. We need to get this to the right people. I would appreciate if this gets to frontpage to get opinions. I will attempt to post on Twitter and Facebook as well to create awareness. Possibly create a Campaign for it to get signatures. I feel so bad for my country. CC Mynd44 , Lalasticlala , Seun 10 Likes |

KAYSANTOS: If you can gather tangible evidence that they're converting your main airtime to bonus without your express consent. |

naijanative: This is not even matter of it it’s exactly what they do. I recharged my MTN line N5k to subscribe and immediately it was converted to bonus I was pissed. I also tried subscribing on Glo which is a shared data between my woman and kid bro N3k it was also converted to bonus. Called NCC but yet to be resolved. I’m ditching both line for NTEL now I’m tired. 2 Likes |

They did same to me, all efforts to make them reverse the credit wasn't successful... Called ncc several times but it seems they are toothless but they kept promising me that they would take it up with glo.. |
Re: MTN And Glo New Way Of Ripping Customers by naijanative: 10:37pm On Jun 02, 2018 |
iliyande: Thank you for your input. I now understand why they completely ignored myself and NCC. NCC actually wrote them and copied me, Glo outrightly ignored NCC requests. 2 Likes |

Well that of Glo, it is a Glo 4X off that clearly stipulates that if you want to partake in the offer the recharge online by denominations like these 550, 1050, 2050 and so on. So if you recharge such amounts through any electronic channel, then you should know that you are in for the 4X offer and all your recharge amount at that time will be converted to bonus. It was not so last year when they initially started the 4X offer, reason why we advised in the below article titled "why the glo 4X offer is no longer suitable for you". If only you saw our advice you wouldn't have fallen for them https://www.highteknology.com/2018/05/why-glo-4x-recharge-bonus-offer-is-no.html |
Re: MTN And Glo New Way Of Ripping Customers by naijanative: 12:16pm On Jun 03, 2018 |
bongolistik: My brother, that's a stupid rule. What's the difference between 500 and 550? loading physically or online? money is money. Glo can't defend their stupidity in a law court. |

Re: MTN And Glo New Way Of Ripping Customers by freemanbubble: 10:26am On Feb 17, 2019 |
No matter what. No matter what denomination! No matter the process used in recharging whether electronic or voucher It is not right to convert someone's airtime into bonus or what so ever with out the consent of that person. The reason to recharge phone is for the main credit Anything outside your main credit should be a decision for you to take and with your consent 2 Likes |

This glo shit just happened to me now. I recharged so I can use it for data, then they convert it to bonus. |
