Apologetic SR sms (today) has said my next Recruit Acivation gets me £10 Bonus

jaymailsays

Anyone else get an incorrect SR sms yesterday?

Today I was sent a retraction but with a sweetener, that my next Super Recruiter activation will none the less, get the £10 bonus!

It went on to say with a link to this thread area that if I want to discuss future SR bonus inclusion, discuss it here.

What do you think fellow SR's?

Copy Text (received today)

"recruit offer. This was sent to you by mistake as Super Recruiters are not actually eligible for the promotion. However, we will credit you for your next activation before 31/1/19 as we're sorry for any confusion that message may have caused. Any further activations this month will only be eligible for your standard Super Recruiter rewards. If you'd like promotions like this to be available for Super Recruiters or have any other ideas let us know your thoughts on the Super Recruiter discussion group here: giff.ly/2FoVeZq "

Are you for or against?

As a giffgaff member and Super Recruiter (Expert - NOT MASTER)

I would welcome the £10 Bonus Credit per Activation offer!

Of course the problem is some Super Recruiters get over 100 a month, so 100 x £10 bonus credit would be £1000 bonus credit.

Even knocked down to 15 Activations it would be 15x£10 =£150 BONUS CREDIT

Should the offer be include Super Recruiters subject to a limit.

Are we being asked if we think the current Super Recriter Scheme needs a few changes.

Should there be a small reward for Activations, ie £2 / £3 ?

@pauljohn7 I've published the text below. It seems to be asking us to suggest some future example promotions.

@jaymailsays Thanks for the shout out on the other thread, Jay - I never received the initial text, and thus won't be inclusive in this as per your follow-up text. @pauljohn7 That's kinda the thing with the SR programme; you have those on it that are likely getting a somewhat tidy sum each month and embrace it, then you have those who are still simply casual recruiters who were happy with the odd fiver the got per recruit, which is no more (and this kills it for them). Without knowing exact figures, I'd go out on a limb and state that the latter is the majority make-up of the SR programme (though as always I stand corrected). Happy new year to you both, also.

@kath72 like you didn't get yesterdays but got today's sms.

I hardly recruit these days, newbies are directly marketed, even when a recruit activates a SIM, the chances of their 2nd or 3rd top up is very remote.

At least if they gave a SR one activation a month at non-SR rates the incentive would encourage a pro-active approach towards recruiting again.

Received the same text today (11/01/2019 at around 13:00) although it says it was sent on 10/01/2019 at 17:00 - got delayed for some reason.

'Hi, yesterday we contacted you about our January recruit offer. This was sent to you by mistake as Super Recruiters are not actually elligible for the promotion. However, we will credit you for your next activation before 31/1/19 as we are sorry for any confusion that message may have caused. Any further activations this month will only be eligible for your standard Super Recuiter rewards. If you'd like promotions like this available for Super Recuiters or have any other ideas let us know your thoughts on the Super Recruiter discussion group here:

giff.ly/2FoVeZq '

So it looks like it's a one off £10 Bonus Credit for all Super Recruiters who get an activation this month from that day forward.

Correction: If you are a Super Recruiter who got an activation during the relevant period, you wll only receive the £10 Bonus Credit if you received the text message in error.

Update: Just got mine. :cathappy:

Seems pretty unfair to me, these segrgated rules. I guess they don't need to incentivise SR's as much. But still. Community spirit and all that jazz!
