Search for something and oh look ads on facebook for what you searched

Not really, least people have an opinion on what VPN to spend credit on, assuming they take play store payments

You can't pay with credit for this

Exactly what I was looking it for. I see that I can purchase VPN unlimited keepsolid with Vodafone credit. Thanks

I see 3 have their offer back where you get a bonus €10 credit for every €20 top up (if you port to them). Might switch back with my spare number and put the bonus credit towards subscriptions.

kevovek · 04-07-2019 8:02pm

You cant use the bonus credit for subscriptions only the 20 you have topped up with

I'm sure I had my monthly subs exceeding €20 last time I had that deal. Will have no problems spending it anyway.

Reading the terms, it seems that your bonus credit gets used first, and only lasts for 30 days. This would mean it's the bonus credit goes on subs, and any remaining credit is allowed to accumulate. That's my experience of it, anyway.

Any way of paying for Deezer via 3 credit if you’ve cancelled and want to resubscribe? Three said not possible but they also said I couldn’t subscribe originally but I was able to.

Google play music would be an alternative

I'm using coingate to convert to crypto. Approx 35 euro worth of credit gives you 30 euro of btc/ltc/eth.

Is this still possible with 3 credit?

It is.

You need to take pic of passport with your phone through some link that they send (automated facial recognition). My phone couldn't do it and customer service didn't give a poop so I passed on it.

The mubi app is 9.99 a month, a new movie every day, lot's of foreign, indie and arthouse stuff. This also let's you access mubi go app which gives you a free ticket to the cinema each week. Last week it was Notorius by Hitchcock in IFC, this week is the new Tarantino in IFC or Vue liffey valley and next week is the new Aldomovar. I think that's a pretty sweet deal even if you just use the cinema once a month.

was tempted to get extra cloud storage with office 365 at 7e/month , but since i don't really need 1TB, i went with extra 200Gb for 29.99/year from google. on vodafone .one transaction.

Can you get the half price discount via the app? It's charging me full price.

Looking into this myself...and getting “Back: Please take picture of the original document.
Front: Please take picture of the original document.”

No idea what good the back and front back of the passport is to them

Thanks for that! Great to have the free cinema ticket included. It's only 8.99 though and not 9.99. Better again!

Antone figure out a way to get the discounted price?

Tom Mann Centuria · 20-08-2019 7:27pm

My carrier billing (on 3) became unavailable when I began to set up family sharing. Canceled the family sharing but carrier billing never came back, anyone any ideas. It doesn't appear at all in payment options now (after initially saying unavailable) Stupid me, gutted now. The 20 euro a month was handy for paying off mega subscription and assorted film hire.

*sorry for non bargain.

Edit: nevermind, sorted.

I emailed them and they said you can't get the discount on the app. It's only available on the website.

Eurosport app works with phone credit €6.99 a month

Man Utd fans can subscribe to the MUTV app with phone credit. €10.99 a month or €40.99 for a year

NBA League Pass €19.99 a month

If this is a question, the answer is no.

webpal · 27-08-2019 7:35am

You can depending on whether the apps can be used on multiple devices. E.g flightradar, viber (viber out credit)

homingbird · 27-08-2019 7:48am

Ok thanks for that.

nitromaster · 01-09-2019 9:16pm

Slightly offtopic but still relevant.

On three, what is the last day your plan applies? I know when it was 30 days it was 30 days from midnight after you top up. Is it the same now? (28 days from midnight after topup?)
Topped up on the 5th and got a message stating it’s due to expire on the 2nd of September (day 28th) should i presume it means the end of the day?
Thanks

Be careful. Don't assume it's the end of day. I've been cleared out of credit twice in the past few months. The app/ my three page doesn't update. I assumed I was still in credit but the plan has expired.

Yep.
If it's convenient for you, turn off your mobile data a few minutes before midnight and top up just after.
You'll get pretty much an extra day then.

Lol. The lengths people will go to just to save a few cents.

Just set an automatic top up for every 28 days and forget about it.

That's great advice but the automatic top up applied for me sometime in the afternoon.
I'd spent over 60 credit by then from light browsing and checking emails since 8am.
I'll never trust the automatic top up again. It's designed to screw you.

This. The automatic top doesn't always work. Three know this but will still clear people's account then apply the top up and all you'll get is a sorry.

If you argue with them (a lot) you will likely get a refund - as long as the failure is on their side to process the auto topup (I did it was +100 euro)

I was very argumentative on each occasion. Only once did they relent. It was a small amount. The 2 larger amounts were waved off.

I guess that could have happened to me in the past, as I don't regularly check my balance. How can you even check what your credit has been spent on in the past, without checking your balance every single day? I can't see an option in the app or on the website.

I requested a usage report which they sent after several attempts after they had given a wide range of reasons to why I never received it.

mcgovern · 02-09-2019 11:03am

I also had an issue where the automatic top up failed. Contacted 3 and with very little arguing they refunded the credit spent.

Any way to buy Bitcoin that avoids spending half the credit on fees? Using Coingate, I need to spend €30 to buy approximately €13 worth of Bitcoin.

For anything you buy, 30% goes to google as fees , and 70% to the service/product owner.

So in real terms , the owner has to charge you at least 30% more for the same service just to cover android store fees , compared if you bought the service elsewhere , and paid by credit card ( not with google store credit )

Buying crypto is a financial operation that has an increased risk of price volatility, so the price you pay for crypto is higher,, because the owner has charged you extra , just to be on the safe side ( for him )

From what i remember, google credit takes couple of weeks to transform into cash in the seller's account , so he's charging extra for services.

Vodafone has a built-in 30emax limit per playstore transaction, and about 200e ( i think ) per month.
I couldn't find a service to offer discount voucher codes in exchange for playstore credit ( and use that voucher codes to reduce an annual subscription under the 30e limit )
