Vodacom Platinum

[Yamana_New]

Got sms yesterday from Vodacom welcoming me "officially" as a Vodacom Platinum member...

Anybody know what this is about?

You're probably one of their biggest contributors to the CEO's multi million Rand pay check.

You can now upgrade once every year instead of every two years. You will no longer pay the R150.00 admin fee also when you upgrade.

That's actually pretty awesome.

@beans100: No question about that, fortunately my employer pays the largest part...

@Ockie, thank you!

It is by invite only and you need to meet a certain average spend requirement.

It is by invite only and you need to meet a certain average spend requirement.

And what would that average be if you dnt mind me asking?

 

[Ockie]

Dont quote me as I am not 100% sure, but last I checked on this it was R4000.00 and up per month avg. Or that might be for Onyx. It is somewhere in that region.

It cant be more then 2k per month, because then you should be on Red VIP - which is unlimited calls

Thats true, makes one wonder how to spend more than unlimited

Data will take your past 2k per month and probably international calls - i am not sure if red vip inlcudes international calls

Or multiple contracts. Depends on whether it is per contract or per customer...

 

[ElecEng]

OP, care to share your companies spend on your contract?

Most definitely not.

According to my understanding it needs to be on one number.

Correct. Each line is evaluated on its own merit, not the account.

The spend depends on my travel schedule, if & when I'm overseas (which has been quite often lately) it exceeds R4k per month.
If not travelling about R1k per month.

I do have more than one contract linked, i.e. phone, tablet & kid's tablet. This recently increased so it is probably that.
