o2 priority moments freebies and offers (**updated**)

I don't think you can pick up the offer for other people, I wish you could as my daughter is on crutches and it is a pain for her to come with me so neither of us have gone for the past couple of weeks.

She did actually bring a supervisor over who didnt really seem to know what she was doing but just agreed with her, but when the phone wasnt on the o2 network dont really know what i could say even though she is getting it on behalf of an o2 customer.

I'd still put a comment in. the code is a genuine one so should be honoured. Ask them to point out where it says the network has to be O2. O2 have authorised the app via a text so the app is genuine.

As long as the app is set up and running then it doesn't matter who the account holder is or who gets it.

Today the assistant in my local store wouldn't let my mam have the meal deal because the network on the phone wasnt o2 (she has the app activated from my cousins number who is in school during the day and cant get the meal deal herself but is an o2 customer) she also tried to say the code didnt work but Im pretty sure she was just making that part up as she also said everyone has the same code so my nana and me activated ours and they were both different as well. She was trying to say the codes wouldnt work unless they were on the o2 network which was obviously a lie. My nana has her app on her ipad because she has an old phone with no internet and she was saying next time she will need to bring her phone with her as well to prove she is on o2. Not the first time this one assistant has been akward though never had any trouble with anyone but her.

Having been spoken to like rubbish today in Tesco re the use of two coupons I think some assistants are just rude, don't understand, jealous (in the sense they don't want to see us get 'freebies') jobsworths.
Some on the other hand are a credit to the companies they work for - Halfords have been very good to me today re the screen wash (went out the back for more stock), and a few weeks ago the man saved a swabble between my children when they were fighting over the hot wheels cars!

My local WH Smith don't ask to see the active code.

How do they know the phone is not on o2 network? On my lock screen it says o2 in the corner but when I unlock it and use the phone there is no network showing on any page?

Unless there's the logo of another network printed on the phone maybe, some seem to brand the phone

My Vodafone and my old Three phones have the network top left of the screen

Were you in Durham Market Place store by any chance? Just this sounds like some of the staff I've experienced in there - some of them are awkward and unhelpful. There are a couple of decent ones but they are the minority.

On a Iphone the network is shown on the top left corner all the time
