Where to spend excess Credit [Vodafone&Three on Android + iOS]

Things I used it for

Paying for Last Pass sub for year
Paying for run keeper sun for year
Paying for strava premium per month

Actually while you are here, originally had set up LIGHTROOM CC on 3 bill but it was down so had to set it to PayPal. Now I can't put it back to 3 bill unless I put a credit card as my primary payment method on Google play... Any work around?

Excess credit with Vodafone on iOS is useless I take it bar text competitions and parking.

I just tried to upgrade on my phone and it works out at €4.99 per month from my 3 credit.

Yah I had that working away nicely and then for whatever reason it stopped and I used PayPal and now I can't use 3 to pay anymore

Doesn't exist.

So instead of trawling this thread looking for ideas, Has anyone complied a list of the best use of the excess credit?

First post in the thread is a good starting point.

Yea pretty much nothing else. Youtube premium is worth it in my opinion.

Is it?
Cobra Kai is the only decent thing on it as far as I can see.
And google still haven't blocked the ad-block add-on.

Looks like you can pay for NordVPN. But at the jaw dropping price of €90 per year....

The Tunein Radio Pro app is another one worth considering (not to be confused with Tunein Premium). The €11 price tag is rather expensive for an App, but worth spending credit on (one off purchase) if you regularly listen to live radio or would like to record. No more annoying ads when launching Tunein or switching stations.

The Pro version can schedule recordings, which is useful if you don't want to pay for a streaming music radio service. Just schedule a recording in the middle of the night of a station that plays music, e.g. 4-6am on RTÉ Radio 1 for oldies. Many music playing stations do not have DJs or ad-breaks during the early hours of the morning. It's generally the only time I listen to live FM radio in my car such as when picking up or dropping off family for an early-morning airport express bus.

I'm still hoping that someone with coding skills will do a simple/cheap app where he can sell in-app 'vouchers' for 20 euro and give us back 10 euro ( even as a vdf top up code ) ; google takes 30% and he keeps 20%

What's to stop someone self publishing any old piece of cr@p and using their credit to buy it on the play store? Money straight back bar Google's cut.

Old school essays etc.

Actually, they seem not to be taking any new self published authors on at the moment but maybe if you have your own 'Smelly Cat' or something sitting around a hard drive.

So three have taken some of my accumulated credit from me, I had €100 (I think!) unused credit and now only have €85. It says at the bottom of their site :
“If you make at least one chargeable call every six months, you will keep your top-up credit active and prevent it from expiring. If you don't do this, your cash credit will expire after six months of non-use“
Just a reminder for everyone to make that one call. I use my sim in a router so I’ll need to pop it into a fone and ring somebody!

damn.. €15 is no small amount in Bargain Alerts land

Price of 15 Fulfil bars

yea do it later in the evening

Yea, but most bundles give you free texts so its a no go area really.

This is where using your Three credit to buy Yolla or Viber credit is a godsend! Then use Yolla/Viber for calling other networks at a fraction of the cost.

Don't think that will count in this instance. You need to use your Three credit to make the call to ensure it doesn't expire.
