O2 Open and Friends and Family Discount Schemes

MI5 — Fri, 18 Nov 2016 15:07:01 GMT

O2 Offer 3 discount schemes:

O2 Open is employer based (certain jobs qualify for discounts)

Latest O2 Open help pages here

Friends and Family (F&F) applys if you have friends or family working for O2.

O2 Student Offers

All offer discount of the airtime portion of your refresh contract only.

Open is 15 or 25% depending on tariff (see T&C's FAQ )

F&F is 50%.

Student is 20%

A summary of Open T&C's are here T&C's and here for students studentoffer (follow the link for details on how to sign up to UniDays.

For F&F the employee of O2 needs to register here http://www.o2justforyou.co.uk/ and it is their responsibilty to process the discount for you. So they will need your account details.

Here is the sign-up page for Open: SignUp

To claim your open discount,

text "OPEN" followed by your open code, mobile number, name and postcode to 2020 (We believe this still works, although the official route is now to take your code in store to be verified).

To claim your F&F discount the employee member must confirm and process the request.

To claim your student discount text your code to 61202 from any mobile.

You will receive a confirmation text back that says you will be notified when your request is processed.

The F&F discount can also be applied to simo contracts and PAYG accounts but at all times the contracts must be taken directly with O2 (no 3rd party resellers) and notable exclusions always apply to new iPhone launches (check T&C's for full details).

Hope this helps in explaining the different schemes and claim processes.

Please read the FAQ's carefully as there have been other significant changes, such as no longer allowing customers to share their code up to 5 times. You can now only use it twice. Once for a Mobile Refresh contract and once for a Mobile Broadband Refresh contract.

Imagine the positive feedback from your bosses when they check the figures and find you have encouraged hundreds of your new "friends" to sign up to o2 @rosadosc. Perhaps they will give you a bonus? ??

That would be great if you could please Toby.
Just after this sentence would be fine....
"For F&F the employee of O2 needs to register here http://www.o2justforyou.co.uk/ and provide you with their EIN which you can then use."

I can get either code (Open) via my work or (F&F) via a mate who works for O2...but have just called O2 to check and was told that the F&F discount was also 30% - not 50%. Has this changed recently? it's a shame when 30% on the airtime is less of an incentive if you're not bothered about upgrading early - much rather 30% of the overall tariff.

Re: O2 Open and Friends and Family Discount Schemes

F&F is 50% off the airtime only.
Open is 30% off the airtime only.
