New £15 for 500 mins Labs Goody Bag

mirfan

I've just seen a banner advert on a newspaper website for giffgaff. It is advertising a new Labs goody bag. Details: £15 for 500 minutes.

Not seen it on here yet! Should keep people that use it a lot happy. Works out at 3p per minute.

Nice idea but still think the £20 goodybag is better all round value.

how about a link to said website so we can all check out this potential new deal

I went to: http://www.independent.co.uk/

Right at the top there is a banner. Each time you load the page it is a different one. Maybe you'll be lucky and see it!

kevvy57

typical every advert but the one i want to see

mirfan

same here - keep seeing all the others... Sometimes I see giffgaff adverts on ebay, let me check it out.

i have found it and yes it clearly states Labs bag £15 for 500 mins

but when you click it your taken to giffgaff home page. where no mention of this labs bag just the existing £5 labs bag

this will cause so much more confusion than the original labs bag now, since they are advertising two different products with same name

We usually hear about these things first on hear... Maybe we missed the announcement? Am I the first to mention it on the giffgaff forums?

Maybe it's not announced yet, but the banner advertising company put the advert out early by mistake? Clearly the existing bag is available for another 11 days until the end of Oct.

kevvy57

yes i think you was first to mention it. and we should have heard first surely.

and it not fair to have new customers looking for 500 mins for 15 and not fidning on site for 11 days

I think ppl are better off with the £20 goodybag since it includes text & internet.

I'm proud of myself... I spotted it first... Do I get some sort of giffgaff medal?

kevvy57

maybe get yourself banned for leaking there top secret info...lol

I refreshed the page about 50 times and the only giffgaff ads I saw were for the £20 goodybag. Perhaps the ad did go out too soon and has been changed?

krayzie

lol some1 should have tooken a screen shot.

I tried refreshing the page few times aswell, but it didnt show up.

If it said £15 for 500 mins, it could have been simply giving an example of what the current labs bag can get you:

£5 goodybag + £10 credit = £10 / 2p/min = 500 mins

Just a thought? 🙂

My thoughts exactly.

I think its advertising the existing labs bag - first look was just a banner 500mins for £15 - looked again later and its a rolling screen with 2p a minute/1p a text explaining the 500 mins for £15.

Next look was a banner for a months free dental treatment - must be all that talking ruins your teeth!

PS dental treatment was a different company. 😉

Yes, I just worked it out too - it must be the current labs that they are advertising, but for new customers it could seem very confusing if they have to work out how many minutes they'd get for £x.
