O2 Open and Friends and Family Discount Schemes

[MI5]

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.

I guess it's because it was moved to the guides section?
https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/How-to-Guides/O2-Open-amp-Friends-and-Family-discounts-How-to-sign-up/... 

Edit: This thread is out of date now and is not being updated, so the link above should be used from now on. Found the new employee benefits link too https://ssl.perquisite.net/RewardCentre/M/Login#/

@MI5  Yes I realise that and i have tried both guides. Doesn't work on either.

Maybe this one should be locked to stop people posting?

I realised it was the 'old guide' as soon as I read the post

[MI5]

It was an internal website for O2 employees only anyway, so it doesn't make much difference, but yes, locking this would help with a link to the new thread.

@Marjo@Martin-O2Could we lock this thread and provide a link to the one in the guide section please?

It's confusing having two active.

Thanks for the new employee benefits link, which works @MI5. No doubt the official guide will be edited to include that as well?:smileywink:

[Martin-O2]

@lc08 I'll check with the team now if Capita friends and family are included. I'll give you a shout once I hear back. 

Just to avoid any confusion I'll lock this thread and link to the current guide.
