Trying to upgrade, all discounts gone

[chistery]

Probably worth a call to EE and discussing your options, as we can't see what discounts you had, and may be entitled to.

Let us know how you get on!

I was trying to upgrade all day yesterday. Had the phone I wanted and plan I wanted in my basket, but couldn't finish the process as it kept asking for a PAC code even though I'm an EE customer already. I finally started a chat who asked what I wanted and then came back with a "deal" that was the wrong phone and the wrong plan and was £20 a month more than what i had in my basket. I said no and they kept badgering even though I asked them to stop messaging me. Now, I've gone back online to see what else there is on offer and they've done something to my account t where many handsets are no longer available to me. All the discounts I had have gone! Now every phone is £5-7 pounds month more that what was showing for me earlier in the day and the plans are about £10 a month more than they were. I feel like I'm being fleeced and EE are going to lose my custom after 20 years.

Its after speaking to a Guide that the discounts disappeared!

I've found before that when EE look at upgrades and you don't go ahead it seems to remove the ability to upgrade for a short time, no idea why. Like I did a SIM swap last week and now it says I'm not eligible to upgrade. You'll have to call EE and discuss your upgrade options.

I can still upgrade, but everything is £15-20 a month more than it was yesterday.

The whole point of using the app and the chat is that don't want to call them...

It is likely that you inadvertently tried to take out an additional line and not an Upgrade initially if it asked about a PAC, and upon checking eligibility for upgrades you were deemed as unsuitable for a Flex Pay (Device Finance) upgrade.

Are the plans that are showing all 24 month plans with a £4 annual price change by any chance? That would support the theory of being Flex Pay ineligible.

Are you also within the last 30 days of your minimum term for your current plan if you currently have a device on contract?

[elbowloh]

No.

It was definitely an upgrade as I pressed the big "upgrade" button and the title of the page I ason was called "upgrades".

Flex pay was available for 36 months, but I don't want 36 months.  

Loads of discounts were showing for me as a customer of 24 years and now they have all gone. 

I'm going to leave EE now when he contract expires in a few weeks.
