Goodybags and gigabags do run concurrenlty mate,it's called queuing a goody/gigabag,the trick,when buying a bag is not to select the start my bag today/now option.
Scrap that mate i got concurrenlty,and consecutively,mixed up.Sorry.
As for your second question who knows why the system cannot handle 2 bags at the same time,only gg can tell you why this cannot happen.

The policy is only one active goodybag at at time right?
Well think:
A gigabag is NOT an add on for a goodybag, more rather it is a data only goodybag.
As such one will cancel the other.

Think:
When you have either:
5MB data or less
5 minutes or less calls
Remaining you can "early" start your next/queued up bag right?
Well as a gigabag is a data only goodybag then it'll completely replace the active goodybag and provide the purchaser with:
Free gg to gg calls/texts
No calls
No texts
Data only

@hoshinobike a data add on wouldn`t be a bad thing.
some suppliers do it.the data lasts till your existing monthly plan or goodybag as it is here runs out

This has been brought up many times before. I personally feel that the wording to warn people isn't prominent enough . Agreed some people won't see it even if it's 6ft lettering but it should be changed in some way. As for why GG don't allow the two to run together it's their policy and because of the numerous posts about this previously, I presume they have a reason.

I agree with you gigabags ought to be add ons rather than stand alone plans.
We never really got an answer from giffgaff why they rejected the idea.
So we don't know whether it's because:
- giffgaff thinks it would confuse members.
- giffgaffs top-up system etc is currently not capable of having 2 systems running side by side.
- Not enough members would use the option.
Or None of the Above!
Other networks offer the addon option, so why not giffgaff?
On the plus side, giffgaff still offer a slight compromise.
If you purchased a goodybag ( Not the £20 Always On goodybag ) and you run out of data but still have days remaining and you have some PAYG credit remaining - You can use data at a reduced PAYG rate of 2p per mb. This will last till the end of your current goodybag. This will prevent you losing your remaining minutes / text allowance. Once the goodybag expires the PAYG rate returns to 5p per mb.
