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

Got my last Boots Meal deal today too, unfortunately I cant get to any of the other Meal Deal offers on my lunch so I'll no longer be able to use the deal on a Monday, if they put them on first thing I'd be able to get one on my way to work.
I bet the Boots Meal Deal made up most of the codes that were used it was by far and away the best choice, they'll probably only get a fraction of the codes used now they've said bye bye Boots

Assistant in my Boots said it was o2 pulling not them and lots of people only brought the meal deal. Really hope my fav Neros offer if there tomorrow but guess its half term some places...we had one last week when it was half term here though which was a bonus.

Yeah, O2 pulled it, im hoping Nero is there to stay too, unsure if it will be there tomorrow though due to it being half term, I think there must be more kids off this week than last, maybe it'll be another BOGOF or free drink when you buy a cake again if It's not there.
I'm not sure how much extra footfall they see in Half Term to warrant them not doing it but it never seems that busy to me.

Very sad day yesterday getting my last £1 boots deal. I find it even more insulting that they still have the £1 off on there, not as good :-(

As I mentioned above I am beginning to feel let down by the service o2 offer me. The moments have been awful, it weren't that long ago we got loads of freebies, now it's nothing. The moments made it worthwhile staying on the network. Coupled in with the fact that they keep taking down the service near me with no notification is making me feel very frustrated by them. I've still got a year left, if I'm still unhappy then I'll move networks

I agree, it seems to be bulked up with competitions these days; I've 18 months left on mine but I reckon unless it picks up a lot of people will be saying bye bye O2.

It's a bit sad why anyone would stay with a mobile network based only on the freebies and discounts that are offered. TBH, if that is the only benefit of signing up to O2 then you guys must have an awful phone contract.
Personally, I'd much rather my network didn't buy into these gimmics and instead just discount the cost of my contract. This would allow ME to choose the GIMMICS that I want. For example, if my network spent £20 per year per customer to deliver weekly deals, discounts and offers, I'd much rather have that £20 taken off of my bill. When you work out exactly how much your saving from these network deals, discounts and offers you probably come to realise that you end up spending MORE than you would have done without these offers. It's nothing but a marketing trick to make people think they are getting something for nothing but in reality, you are forking out for something you probably wouldn't have bothered buying if the deal wasn't sent your way.

Well I would still need a phone contract and I did get a competitive deal with more cashback than on my prev EE contract thank you very much.

At the end of the day most people needs phone if it comes with offers and freebies then I'll take that compared to more or less the same price without them.

I wouldn't pay a lot more just to get the freebies but with cashback I'm getting every few months it works out the same for a far better bundle and the perks of Priority to boot.
Priority isn't my sole reason for being on O2 but I'm sure for some it is.

If you notice in my post I said the freebies made it "worthwhile" and that I was increasingly frustrated by them taking down the service in my area. I've spoken to loads of people on different networks who all pay roughly the same as me for the same type of contract. There are other added benefits to being on o2 but these are insignificant if the service coverage is constantly going down near me! The freebies are a nice touch and as I said it does make being with them worthwhile, especially when I would pay the same with another network.

The Boots treat is a free 500ml bottle of coke or an aero chocolate mousse bar from 27/2 - 13/03 while stocks last. I won't be rushing out for it but if I'm passing I'll pop in and get one.
