4ukis79 has a question about Top up

[#1]

I activated my sim and I went to the shop I got a £10 top up I thought I was getting the 2gb data and 500 Mins plus unlimited texts but when I text my friend it came up I had £9.95 why is it taking money off when it should be free

Hi @4ukis79

Airtime credit and goodybags are two different things. Adding airtime credit e.g voucher does not apply the goodybag automatically. The goodybag is bought Direct using a credit/debit or Paypal or you can exchanging airtime credit(voucher) by following the steps below.

1. Login -> https://giffgaff.com/auth/login
2. Go to the "Top-up" section of the website
3. Select the goodybag/gigabag you wish to buy and then click “select button”.
4. Your goodybag/gigabag appears in your basket. Click "Select" next to "I only need a goodybag"
5. Click "Continue" without ticking the box to recur your goodybag
6. Click "Exchange airtime credit"

Or you can dial 43430 free from your phone , select option 2 and follow the instructions to exchange the airtime credit for a goodybag.

As your 5p down you won't be able to exchange your airtime credit for the £10 goodybag i suggest you contact a agent and as a good will gesture refund you the 5p required to exchange the airtime credit for the £10 goodybag.

Becaust it's a top-up and not a goodybg. What you need is here https://giffgaff.com/buy goodybag

[#4]

When you redeem a voucher online or on the app it only adds airtime credit to the account and this has to be exchanged for a goodybag separately.

When you redeem the voucher from your phone (by dialling 43430) you have two options:

Option 1 to redeem as airtime credit;

Option 2 to exchange the voucher for a goodybag
