Anyone using 3 Pay as you go?

A quick question that someone might know the answer to (because 3 themselves havent got a clue)

When you topup £10 online, you get 600 free texts.
Then, if you convert that £10 to a Stretch, you get 100 free minutes or texts.

The question is...
when you text, which gets used first - the 600 texts, or the 100 "minutes or texts"?

    I have found the free credit and free texts get used first.
  • Ah, so it uses free texts, then your stretch, then your cash credit? Ta!

    Yeah you're right about that, the 3 website says this:
    In which order are these used, are my Top-ups, Stretch or Add-on bundles or is WePay used first?

    WePay rewards are used first, then Stretch or Add-ons (as they're only valid for 30 days), then any inclusive Top-up (as it's valid for 60 days) and then Top-ups (which have no expiry date)

    I don't know what these 60-day 'inclusive Top-ups' are, but it doesn't really mention that 90-day allowances you get for topping up.
