Deal expiry date versus activation date

I ordered an MSE Lebara SIM for a 10gb deal for £1.10 for 8 months. The offer expires after 11.59pm on 2nd May.  Does that mean as long as I receive the new Lebara SIM before 2nd May, which I have, I can activate it after 2nd May and still get the deal?

I am doing the 'port dance', and my current Lebara number should port out to Lyca tomorrow.  

I will then have to do a port in again to the new Lebara deal, which obviously will be after 2nd May.

Hope this makes sense.

    It's at the point of purchase and then you have 30 days to activate the SIM. Good look with the dance. Did you manage to get a cheap Lyca SIM? There was nothing available last time I danced.

    Thanks Sheffieldeagle.  I purchased a 5gb one month contract Lyca SIM at £2.50.  The savings on the Lebara deal will outweigh that and the cost of a top-up.

    Cheers for that.
