Hi there,
Can anyone explain when the changes to the EE perk took place, making it effectively no longer a “Perk”?
I’ve been with EE for several years and have always had the EE perk applied to my contract. I’ve upgraded every 12 months for the past 4 years. Today, I became eligible for an anytime upgrade and went through the process. I selected a 24-month contract (since I don’t want a Flex contract), but when I tried to enter my newly generated perk code, it was invalid on any contract option I selected.
I spoke with live chat, and they told me that this is due to TLOs (Time Limited Offers) and that the perk can’t be used with them. I also checked the EE website as a new customer, and it accepted my code. On top of that, I was told that they can no longer apply perk codes via webchat, even though I’ve done this in the past.
What’s going on with the Perk, and how do I access contracts that aren’t already discounted so I can apply my Perk discount?
Has anyone else experienced this or know more about when the changes occurred?
Thanks,
Jake

Hi.
Similarly to you …I had very frustrating experience with applying PERK discount codes last Wednesday. - I wanted to upgrade two plans on my account. According to EE- you can apply them only online. Well, I tried, but as I found out later, EE web having major problems! I was advised to download EE app - no joy, as also error occurred. Advisor from upgrade team, said- discount codes not able to be applied via phone. I spent nearly 3h trying to sort out my contacts. In the end, one kind tech advisor( among several advisors I spoke on that day) - she said, would apply my discount, I just need to sign up contract and drop he email with code… well, even she wasn’t able to apply code, and had to use hers discount. The worst is, I have another plan to upgrade… and really hate the feeling, what maybe will happen next time😕
