I’ve just seen the offer, does it apply to upgrades also?

James,
We've heard this message on repeat but you're ignoring our point. Stop ignoring what we are telling you. We, your customers, were specifically all told on recorded phone lines at the point of sale that the incentive would be provided on DAY 15. Not 15-30 days. Not any other time frame. Day 15 (I was specifically told as this was the day after the cooling off period ended).
Therefore we, your customers, have been told incorrect information by your sales representatives. You have also breached Ofcom guidelines by not providing information regarding the incentive by a durable medium (i.e. email, letter) - I personally have received no information except what I was told on your recorded sales phone line.
Stop trying to put your customers off repeating 15-30 days. If we'd been told 15-30 days at the point of sale we would have no complaint, would we? You can't just change the timeframe with no communication to customers because you're having supplier issues or other problems.
James, please explain to us all why;
We were told different time frames but most are specifically told 15 days
Why you are having issues providing the incentive you have offered and what you're going to do to resolve it
Why you're breaching Ofcom's guidelines (C8) and likely trading standard guidelines regarding the provision of sales incentives
Why your staff seem to have no idea what they're selling, or advising customers regarding this offer
Please note again that you're providing a significant incentive to customers to upgrade, take out another line, or take out a contract but not then issuing that incentive as promised at the point of sale. In the current cost of living crisis this is a huge sway to your customers to take out something they may have thought twice about otherwise.
Don't tell me to call 150 or repeat your 15-30 day spiel - we, your customers, demand a written and public explanation on this forum to explain why you are failing on your promises. I look forward to your response.

Hi @Sophia82,
When a customer takes out a contract that is eligible for the pre-paid card offer, the lead number on the account will receive a text 1-5 days after purchase . This text advises that the digital pre-paid card will be sent to them in a text message after the 14 day cooling off period. The customer will then receive a text to claim the card 15-30 days after the contract was initially taken out.
If you have not received either text within those timescales, or have been advised different, please get in touch with our team on 150 so we can take a further look.
Thanks
James

Hi I got a 300 pound master card deal as part of my new contract does any one know when I will receive this.

Here's the thing though, many of us didn't receive that initial text! There's 9 pages of people saying they didn't receive the text and your response is "you should have received a text"? Um, we didn't... that's the point here.
Also, I tried calling 150. They have no idea about the offer, what to do to get the text, nor anything useful. They gave me the number for the rewards team, who didn't even have my details.
I spoke to the store however, and there has been a mass confusion across many retail vendors who were provided details saying the text would be received "after 14 days", which is the information then provided to their customers. However, it did mean between 15 and 30 days.
This does mean that anyone who was told by a retailer that it would be the 15th day has technically been provided false information and can potentially claim. I would, therefore, recommend contacting customer services to deal with that.

Hi @Hilli31
Welcome to the community.
You should receive a link to redeem the offer 15-30 days after you receive the phone. Have you received any messages from us all about this?

Morning still not received anything and when you ring the card helpline it now tells you they can't help if you don't have claim link txt
21-11-2022 09:54 AM
How hard is it to send a link out? If I had an outstanding bill then I would be contacted left, right and centre, 23 days I've been waiting now with no sign of an invite or an actual link

Have a feeling not gonna get it as rewards team still have no details.

Starting to feel very duped and lied to over this offer. EE have taken advantage of people snatching up this offer before Christmas in the face of a cost of living crisis. Still no response to my previous questions and just repeating the same spiel.
As far as I'm now concerned I have been given incorrect information and mis-sold. I wouldn't have taken out this contract if this offer hadn't been sold as it had, I am sure a lot of us are in the same boat and feeling the same.
EE - what are you going to do about this? How are you going to resolve the fact we were incorrectly informed at the point of sale & still aren't being given clear information? One person saying a text after 5 days then the link 15-30, I was specifically told 15 days at the point of sale but nothing about any text message, some have been told 5 days? What on earth is going on??
