Checking your bonus account
Before activating bonus points on Megafon, you should check their balance and the fact of connection to the program in your personal account (PA):
- You need to go to the Service Guide office:
- using a permanent password;
- using the temporary password from the message (obtained by request to *105*00#).
- A special tab shows the number of points.
- After clicking the link, the Megafon bonuses page will open. If the service is not connected, the image will look like this.
If connected, information about this will be displayed on the website.
As part of the promotion, there are several rewards for Megafon points, including certificate offers.
How to check your reward balances
This question is very important when using bonuses. For example, you activated free minutes and want to know whether you have any left or whether the conversation will cost you money. This is not difficult to do, although such information, alas, is not provided in a regular balance request.
The first method is Service Guide *105# . After the request, you need to follow the path: My account (1) - Balances (2). In response, you will be sent an SMS message with the balances for the connected options (if any), and not just for rewards.
The second method is your Personal Account or application. You need to go down to the “Balances for service packages” section. A window will open in which, as in the SMS, all balances for all tariff options and services will be indicated. The package from Megafon-Bonus will be called “Megafon-Bonus”, and in addition to the balances, their validity period will be indicated (remember, 30 days from the date of activation).
When using rewards in the form of megabytes of Internet, please note that they do not in any way affect the connection speed set by the tariff or option. Only the megabytes themselves are free, purely physically - everything else is within the tariff.
How to activate bonuses
Activation of points on Megafon occurs in three ways:
- SMS to *105#. The return SMS will indicate the number of bonuses.
- Via LC.
- Call 5010.
If rewards are not activated within a year, then Megafon points are canceled and the subscriber is temporarily excluded from the bonus program.
Sending a USSD command
To activate bonuses, you need to dial *105# on your phone keypad. After this, the user will be taken to a menu where he will be asked to exchange accumulated points for bonus offers.
You can also carry out this operation by dialing *115*“package code”#. However, before this, you should find out the codes of the offers provided on the official Megafon website.
What can you spend Megafon bonus points on?
There are several ways to spend Megafon bonuses received:
- purchasing SMS packages;
- payment for Internet traffic;
- purchasing minutes for calls to numbers in your home region;
- in Russia;
- in Europe and the CIS;
Instructions for transferring bonuses into minutes via USSD request
USSD - implies a key combination , with the help of which the option offered by the company starts working. To carry out the operation using this method, you must follow the steps:
- To view the amount of the reward, enter the combination *115# and press the number “2”.
- Exchange requires entering an additional combination. There are different options:

- *115*010# call - get 10 rubles;
- *115*030# call - get 30 rubles;
- *115*050# call - get 50 rubles;
