FNB extends free data offer

3 Jul 2011

From 1 July 2011, qualifying FNB account holders will be eligible to receive up to 4GB free monthly ADSL data and discounted prepaid 3G data from as little as 30 cents per MB in a promotion that will run until 30 June 2012.

In order to redeem the rewards, cheque account customers should register free on the FNB Connect website and the monthly free ADSL data and 3G rewards will be loaded automatically to the customers' Connect Surf account.

The new reward allocations commence in the month following registration and customers who are currently receiving free data allocation will have their allocations increased from the month of August 2011. ADSL rewards will be allocated automatically.

"Our pay-as-you use model is for customers who do not want to have out of bundle rate surprises. Our ordinary rate of 59 cents per MB for pay-as-you use Vodacom or MTN 3G is already cheap, but customers will now qualify for an even better price," notes Farren Roper, head of products and markets at FNB Connect.

"A customer could redeem both the free ADSL rewards as well as 3G discounts, so the opportunity for savings could be multiplied," he concludes.
