Mtn Wow Weekend Is A Scam by k2kay(m): 8:46am On Aug 26, 2016
Nairalanders, I got a message this morning to subscribe for 3.5gb with 2k and I would be given 17.5gb as bonus. I did same and to my shock I got 3.5gb as my bonus instead. I called CC and she said it is on subsequent subscriptions that the bonus would be given in bits whereas the message stated something different entirely. She claims she will look into it..I will update this thread if its resolved, til then PLS DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO THE PLAN. They are rogues.

Guy why ur blood dey hot? I asked u to dial *556# which is the first step to checking ur wow balance, not *131*4#. What I see you there is normal data balance. After dialing *556# and u still don't see ur wow bonus then Mtn has taken u for a ride. But u really need to stop being aggressive.

I know it's a scam but yall should be glad that your bonus expires in Nov. If you has gotten the 17gb believe me you won't be able to use up to 1gb before it expires Sunday night.


The T In mTn is for THIEF.

Okk I think you guys should take your complaints to their twitter handle and vent your anger there if anything but to tarnish their image. Its high time these bast*rds stop taking us for a ride. I think you re going to get a quicker response there.

I don't understand, you guys subscribed because you needed data, no?

Is it the bonus that's your grouse or your wasted money?

What the_fuck is wrong with Nigerians? I subscribed two weeks ago and got 17.5GB on my 3.5GB subscription. Now, I have about 400mb left, I got the message too but I didn't rush out to subscribe simply because there was no need. If I subscribe now and I don't get 17.5GB bonus, why should I have an issue? I needed data which I already paid for, why get angry about bonus that's not exactly my right? Lol! Una get wahala. They even gave the OP 3.75GB he still dey Para. lipsrsealed embarassed

My Darling angry angry angry

Mind yourself now o

The thing is not funny joor.
I'm even angrier now.
I pity the call center when that will pick my call tonight.

They even gave OP 3.75GB.
They gave me nothing! Zilch! Zippo! Nada!

I am not a 3.5GB customer. I jejely come, subscribe my 1.5GB and GO.

But this morning, my glo data got exhausted and then I got that message. I confidently did it because I had done so before and I got the 17.5GB which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Today, nothing.
I was still calm self when I called customer care and they claimed something is wrong with their system.
That they will get back to me.

Had I known, I would have subscribed my normal 1.5GB and do my usual 10GB for glo.

I give them till 9 o clock today grin
