It's a 'virtual' credit which doesn't actually appear on the phone but is used before your normal allowance is used.

I received a text the other day from 02 saying if i topped up by £50 I would get £4 extra credit, yes four whole pounds !

My tariff is £17.50 so why on earth would I top up by another £32.50 !

Virtual credit is useless to me who's tariff covers my monthly usage !

£50 & you only get £4 that's no where near a good incentive

If it was real credit and not virtual then there's the incentive !

Not sure how many people would want to top up by £50 at all. The offer seems to bear no ratio to some others.

Unless you are a heavy user & don't have any special tariff or bolt ons, its highly unlikely that you would even have £50 to top up with

If I was getting a decent return for free credit then I wouldnt mind topping up by £50, as I wouldn't have to think about topping up the next month !

But the kind of return 02 offerd was just plain funny

It will be there. It's usually a virtual credit which will be used before any allowances or actual credit.

It won't show on the phone but you will use the virtual allowance before your actual credit gets used. Many threads on this, not a scam at all.

Absolute nonsense, now you know differently.
