nava

I just noticed that lidl now does mobile top-ups, they have an offer with Vodafone, top-up €30 get €10 Free credit. *Offer Valid until the 13th Sept.

Also interesting they do top-ups from €5

Ya, I asked this very question in the vodafone forum. Yes you can.

I hope none of ye had the same experience as I just did. I'd planned to buy four €30 top-ups for my kids but had to wait for payday and couldn't get to a store on Saturday, but I rang and they confirmed the promotion ran until and including Sunday. I finished work this evening at 8pm and lashed round to my nearest Lidl (in Limerick) to be told no joy, they couldn't sell these; hadn't been working all day, many disappointed customers, etc.

This on top of them suddenly 'pulling' the Thursday and Sunday newspaper vouchers with about 24 hours notice on Fæcebook. :mad: :mad:

I thought I was going to be able to get €160 worth of credit to stack up on the kids' accounts for only €100.
(4x €30 (plus 4x €10 free)= €120-€20 with a couple of €10-off-€50-spend vouchers = €100 for €160 credit).

Boo Lidl. If they don't sort customers out in the morning when the helpline opens I'll be getting out the green ink.

Edit: Was told that all promotional offers are "subject to availability" (even though this doesn't appear anywhere on the website page linked).
I told them my €150/week grocery spend was subject to availability. I'll save my green ink...

I purchased one this morning without any issues - no vouchers though so had to pay full price

Without this offer Vodafone work out at just under twenty two euro a month for me. With unlimited calls to any network and landline, unlimited texts 3.5 gigs of internet and one hundred minutes of international calls. So they may be expensive, but not by very much.

Also, in the last two months I've been on Tescos, Emobile, and all the variants and ultimately I came back to Vodafone simply because they have the best network by far and the only ones that have 4g in work when all I can get is edge from everyone else.

Care to enlighten me on how this works?
I would be very interested in going with this if I could.

Vodafone has increased the Cherry Points cost of a €30 topup to 350 points so the effective per-month cost of the €30 Red offer (when topup bought online) is now €23.70.

FatBeard

Didn't spot the increase. But it only brings hte montly cost up to 22.72 (not 23.70) . If you use the lidl 10 euro discount trick it's 19.09

Online topup and purchase of Red bundle earns 93 Cherry points. 93/350=0.2657 of a Red bundle.

So €30 buys 1.2657 Red bundles. €30/1.2657=€23.70 for one Red bundle.

FatBeard

Ya, but you're forgetting you also get 60 cherry points when you buy a red bundle using the credit you got from your 350 cherry points.

So the way to calculate it really is to assume you have 60 at the very beginning (first ever topup) then you can easily calculate it as follows

290/93 = 3.12. So it takes 3.12 topups of 30 euro to get one free topup.

So (3.12 * 30 euro) / 4.12 = Cost per month over time. = 22.72

They do this with most shops from time to time, we get a flyer from our top up providers advertising it to let our customers know.

Thing is we never do as the commission on the larger top ups is a joke unless you charge the surcharge across all amounts. We only charge it on the €5 and €10 vouchers as they now cost us more than face value.

Is this deal still on in Lidl? Want to top up a mobile broadand.
