Hi.
I upgraded to a sim only deal yesterday but the discount codes has expired 1 minute after getting them.
I tried 3 times and in the end proceeded to complete the upgrade but tried now to see if I could apply the discount but seem unable to do it.
Can I speak to someone about this please?
Many thanks,
Michael.

Vodafone have changed the way the Advantage discount is applied @white_wolf
If you refer to the reply from @Amanda on this thread https://forum.vodafone.co.uk/t5/Pay-monthly/Trying-to-add-friend-to-advantage-scheme/m-p/2706112#M67... it will explain the process.
edited to add: if you click on 'yes I'm ready' here: NHS Advantage it will open the form you need to complete

Hi Anna's,
That is the way I tried it and 3 times with codes, it never worked. It said they had expired within 1 minute of getting the codes.
Not sure why the process cant be made simple and to work first time than all messing around to apply discount.
Where do we go from here?

I agree that the customer journey shoukd be as simple as possible @white_wolf
I would suggest to have a word with customer support on 191 or Live Chat.
The Vodafone Social Media Team's may also be able to help > Contact-us-for-account-specific-queries.
I wish you all the best.

Live chat just sends a link to the website discount page … and that link doesn’t even work!!!!!

Hi @Lizjd, thanks for your post, we're sorry to hear that you're having an issue with the code as this should be a quick process. If you send us a message on Twitter or Facebook, our social media team would love to help. If you've managed to get a code that wasn't working, please include this in your message as it would really help the team with your query.

If you have followed the correct procedure, follow @Amanda's advise in the linked thread for account access and contact the Social Team with a link to this thread. You will have much more success than going through Customer Service channels.
edited to add: I notice you applied the code against a SIM only contract, some SIM only contract come with an promotional extra. For example, 6 months half price. The code has to be applied against a plan that does not come with a promotional extra.

Hi Anns
The problem is I dont use Twitter.
I dont see why all formats of communication cant be equal to sort problems.
A little ironic for a communication company.
If you can see some information and what I've tried to do, why cant you help to sort this?

I appreciate that not everyone uses social media @white_wolf - We are also available on Facebook. If you don't have neither a Facebook or Twitter, you can create an anonymous Twitter here and it can be deleted just as easily.
We would need to access your account to assist with this and we don't have account access over the forum.

Hi Evie, thank you for your speedy reply.
I'll message over Facebook. Would it be best to include a link to this thread?
Many thanks,
Michael.
