Hi you can only start a queued goodybag early if you meet the conditions noted in the guide below. Plus guide on how to avoid using data check guide.

HOW CAN I START MY QUEUED GOODYBAG EARLY
If you have less than 100mb, 100 texts or 100 minutes left on your active goodybag then it is possible to activate your queued goodybag straight away rather than having to wait for your current goodybag to expire. If you have an active £25 "Always On" goodybag, this action is available after you've used the first 20GB data at full speed.

Go to My giffgaff.Link>> https://giffgaff.com/dashboard
Click on the button to Start the queued goodybag right now. The same operation is also available from the goodybag page. Link>> https://giffgaff.com/buy

Example of how it may look when you have a goodybag running low

The queued goodybag will immediately replace your active goodybag. You may need to restart your device to encourage the new goodybag to 'kick-in' properly.
PLEASE NOTE:
Starting your queued goodybag early will remove any remaining allowances (data, texts, minutes) that you may have left on your active goodybag.

IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE to start a queued goodybag early using the 43430 top-up number from your phone or the giffgaff mobile app.

If you run out of data/calls or you have less than 100 mb/minutes left you can start your next goodybag early

Option will show only if the above applies

There's no need to wait 🙂You can now start a complete new goodybag/bring your next goodybag forward (start it early) when you are down to either 100mb or less OR 100 minutes or less (ANY will do) on your current goodybag allowance 🙂(you DO need to be down to the limit for the option to become available)
See instructions here https://community.giffgaff.com/t5/Using-giffgaff/I-don-t-have-any-data-or-minutes-left-what-can-I-do/ta-p/14564229 including 'handy links' all the best with the house move, Hope this helps 🙂

dawnydear1970 Hi there. No allowance will rollover onto your next Goodybag plan.

When you have less than 100MB data or 100 minutes allowance left on your current goodybag or you've used the full-speed data allowance (in case you have an Always On goodybag), the option to start your next goodybag now will appear on your dashboard, as per the illustration below:

There are different ways to buy a goodybag early, depending on the result you want to achieve:

You want your goodybag to be renewed automatically every month. You will need a recurring goodybag.
You want to pre-purchase your next goodybag so it starts when your current goodybag expires. You will need a queued goodybag.
You don't have any data or minutes left in your current goodybag and you want to buy a new one right now. You can buy a goodybag and start it early.

When you purchase a goodybag early, it erases your current goodybag and you will lose all remaining allowances, so giffgaff ask you to confirm you are really sure you want to start a new goodybag right now.

Please Note:

You can start a recurring or queued goodybag up to 9pm on the day of expiry of your active goodybag
You can queue a goodybag up to 10pm if you complete it online
You can queue a goodybag if you do it via the 43430 top up line but you must do it before 9pm.

For more information about starting a Goodybag early, please see this article. Thanks.

You can start a new goodybag early once you have less that 100mb of data OR less than 100 mins of call time.

Once this happens, you will see the option to start queued goodybag early from your dashboard https://www.giffgaff.com/dashboard
