topic Railcard offer in O2 Priority

Railcard offer

Tracyh28 — Wed, 23 Oct 2024 12:15:48 GMT

I’ve tried daily to obtain this offer….”1000 codes released daily at 9am” yet logging on from 8:50 daily still shows “out of stock”????

@Tracyh28

No point contacting anyone, as they will just claim the allocated number has gone.

I would expect that @Tracyh28. The stock is reloaded at 9.00am, so if you refresh Priority a few seconds after 9.00am, you should see them ; at 8.50am, it is the previous day's stock that has been exhausted.

It is the same with any Priority offer, for example Greggs, that goes live at a particular time. On many occasions, I have stood in Greggs at 6.59am and kept refreshing Priority as I waited for that day's offers to go live at 7.00am. 👍

Me too, have tried refreshing multiple times, signing in about out etc at 9am for last three days, never any codes, anyone know if they are actually being posted?

With all VM and o2 customers having access to one the 1000 codes will vanish instantly..

I have seen the option in the app to get the code, but everyone will try at 9am

Me too. Have tried for several days, lots of times at various times of the day including around 9am. Always 'Sold Out'. I think it's a load of old tosh tbh. Just keeping us wasting our time. Wish they wouldn't do this.

The "sweet treats" from Greggs were still available this morning at 10.30am, but there were 10,000 codes released per day and to use them, you have to make the effort to go to a Greggs shop.

In truth @Godiva, if they are releasing just 1,000 codes per day on the Railcard offer, securing one is going to be difficult. We estimated some time ago that probably 23 million O2 customers potentially have access to O2 Priority, so that is codes for 0.004 per cent of the potential userbase daily ! 👍

It’s click bait. Even if there are actual codes they mysteriously go before appearing. Useful if the 1000s getting them each day would post to say they got one and how, then we’d know !!

Re: Railcard offer

Mark8090 — Sat, 26 Oct 2024 09:46:19 GMT

Can someone please post if they got a code and at what time.

Been trying for a few days (usually just after 9am). This morning I was refreshing the screen a little before 09:00 and got one a couple of seconds after 9am. A few seconds later it was showing as out of stock.

That's an excellent result for you @ossocafe ; hopefully it will give @Mark8090 and @Hthedog encouragement for the future ! 👍

I have been trying at bang on 9am every morning. I have Railcard typed ready to click on the second my phone shows 9am but I continually get the message saying no codes left. I don't understand how 1000 can go every day when I am trying the second it hits 9am.

Re: Railcard offer

Oxonian — Mon, 28 Oct 2024 21:15:04 GMT

All that I can suggest @Parklea is that you keep trying.

Unfortunately nobody on this customer to customer community can offer any real insight as to why the codes are not available at 9.00am, other than presuming that it is because demand is hugely exceeding supply. 👍

I've tried on about 5 occasions at 09:00 and never seen any codes available. My wife tries at the same time and does see that codes are available, and got one yesterday. I can't save the Railcard offer but my wife can.

Hi, I can report I got one at last after 7 days trying, 9am kept refreshing about 10 times and one came up so it is working. Good luck all.

Morning all

I thought i'd add some additional advice to this thread 😊

The offer is working as it should, however, the codes are very popular and get snapped up quickly.

We advise that you don't sit in the Priority app overnight, close this down and open again the next morning.

Go to offers, and then the travel category just before 9am.

Remain in the category when it hits 9am, then swipe down hard at the very top of the category so it refreshes the page, then click the offer and tap 'use now'.

More details on this offer can be found HERE

Good luck 🤞

Didn't have any luck via the Priority app for 3 days so was questioning in my mind if there were 1000 each day. However yesterday (29/10) using my PC and continuing to refresh the page, got to the "use now" or "save for later" ..and yes wrong! one save for later 😥 is not the correct one . However tied again today and got a code and renewed my card ok ..both times were about 09.05 in the morning ..so keep trying Tracyh28 may be worth seeing if you get better results from a PC if you have access to one

Glad to hear you were successful @Derek45 ; and if that comment was aimed at @Tracyh28, you need to tag her thus ! 👍
