Vodacom Use&Get airtime promotion

I'm guessing they don't give back again if you reuse this airtime.
 
The airtime you get free/back tomorrow, if you use that, does that count to your free handout the day after that? I see a big fail here.

Also, how will they calculate this, their "system" can't even calculate that you ran out of data and it can't even cut you off before OOB starts?

All I see is:

Virgin Mobile had a cash back feature where they credit you with 10% or so airtime back. If you used that you also got airtime back but that's reasonable. Doubt Vodacom would give 100% back on top of 100% back as that would be free airtime.

If they give 100% back they still received money. Free without money is a different story.
 
It is something but most likely excludes the 79c price plan so would only count for the R1.20 per minute price plan. The free airtime you get is for on net use only.

I just don't understand why people still use Vodacom prepaid. It is the most expensive option of ALL the providers when you compare off net call rates AND data rates.

100% that people will reuse over and over again? Can't see that happening as I can then buy a 3GB bundle for R299 everyday and still keep my airtime at the end of the promotion. Can't see such a free service flying so more clarification is needed.

As opposed to change-contract-pricing-whenever-we-like postpaid Cell C, VC and MTN?

As opposed to prepaid poor-networks-are-us Cell C?

As opposed to prepaid cant-even-make-our-website-so-usable-for-people-to-find-the-plain-normal-prepaid-data-packages-prices MTN? (should I go on about their advertising spam and poor website and special this that and the other? They are Vodacom just with more crap)

TelkomMobile you might have a point with.

Well I guess I understand why you choose to pay a premium with Vodacom them because they have a decent network and have a decent online portal.

I personally just think the premium price being paid is not really worth it.

Vodacom is extremely strict with prepaid. They make sure that prepaid is very profitable for them I think. On Vodacom prepaid you are forced to make a decision as to pay a low base fee to any network or pay a premium rate of R1.20 and get cheap on net calls.
