How to use MTS bonuses in a store or on the Internet from your phone

By using the services of MTS and connecting a SIM card, the user automatically gets the opportunity to accumulate bonus points for spent conversation minutes, for using traffic to access the Internet, and when sending SMS messages. For every minute, SMS, or megabyte of traffic spent, the user receives a bonus point.

In addition to the standard MTS Bonus loyalty program offered to each subscriber, there is an additional program that awards “thank you” points, with which the user can also top up his phone account. Each user can receive such bonuses by observing only two conditions:

he must be an MTS subscriber;
he must have a Sberbank bank card.

However, when using accumulated bonuses, many clients do not know how to complete all the necessary actions and do not understand that they should first activate the offered service, and only then transfer the bonuses into the desired minutes, SMS messages or Internet traffic.

For clients of Sberbank of the Russian Federation who have access to their personal account, just log into your account and select the menu section in which you can find out the number of accumulated bonus points. If we are talking about “MTS Bonus”, then the service is activated using a simple combination *111*455*1#.

Many users are interested in the question of whether MTS points can be used to pay for communication services. Accumulated points cannot be exchanged for money, but can be used to connect to additional communication services, and also, if desired, receive various discounts and gifts.

Let's try to understand in more detail how to pay for MTS communication services with MTS bonuses, and what advantages this gives the subscriber.

Participation in the MTS Bonus program

To take advantage of the loyalty program, an MTS mobile subscriber must send a free USSD command in the format *111*455*1# from their phone. In response to this action, the operator will send an SMS notification confirming the fact of participation in the MTS Bonus program. It is important to consider here that the registration process and receipt of a service SMS message may take up to 7 business days. If after this time MTS has not provided confirmation of your participation in the bonus program, you should repeat the registration procedure or find out the circumstances of the delay from the operator by numbers:

0890 or 08460 – for mobile phones;
88002508250 or 88002500890 – from mobile and landline numbers;
+74957660166 – for communication when you are outside Russia.

Another convenient way to register in the program is to send a free SMS message with any text to a special number 4555. Please note that if you send SMS while roaming, you will have to pay for the communication service at an international rate.

Participation in the MTS Bonus program is also available through issuing an MTS Money card, purchasing goods at the operator’s points of sale, the MTS online store, and in the showrooms of JSC RTK operating under the Telefon.ru brand. But the most practical way to connect to the program is to register in your Personal Account on the official MTS Bonus page.

To log in to the service, you need to:

open the link bonus.ssl.mts.ru in any browser;
select the Login to my MTS Bonus tab;
select the Mobile communications section;
indicate the phone number in 10-digit format;
select Receive password via SMS;
pass protection from the robot by specifying thematic pictures;
receive an SMS message with a secret number combination;
enter the code in the Password field;
Click the Login button.

Please note that when using the program’s Personal Account, it becomes possible to use a special Calculator to calculate points and exchange them for various rewards.

Restrictions

The subscriber can use his bonus points to purchase any goods and services offered by the operator if he has a sufficient number of bonuses to make a purchase.

Restrictions for participants of the presented promotion:

Purchased packages with free minutes, messages or Internet traffic are valid only for one month from the date of receipt. After the specified period has expired, the package is automatically disabled, and any minutes, messages or traffic not spent are burned.
Unused communication services canceled upon expiration of packages are not carried over to the next month.
You can purchase discount certificates using bonuses only in your personal account on the bonus program website.

Only subscribers of the presented operator can take part in the presented bonus program.

The purpose of the developed program is to win over clients with the help of incentives of various types. The subscriber receives bonus points on his account for actively using the operator’s services or purchasing specialized equipment at dealerships. The savings program is available to users on any tariff plan.

The company has developed all the conditions for convenient management of the bonus account. On the personal page, the client can see the amount of accumulated bonus units, the history of accruals and expenses. Thanks to special applications, the user has access to a full list of services on which points can be spent from the account. The most popular question asked by MTS Bonus users is: can points be converted into money?

The main limitation of the program is the inability to cash out accrued bonus points. This creates additional financial losses for the company. Purchasing rewards is more profitable than exchanging, both for subscribers and for the mobile operator.

A program participant has the right to accumulate bonus units simultaneously on two SIM cards registered in the same home region. If the subscriber's tariff plan includes a monthly package of services, then bonus minutes or SMS will be spent only after the package limits have been spent.

Accumulation of points

The subscriber receives the first 100 points at the time of registration in the program. Additional incentives are provided for providing a valid email (10 points) and as a birthday gift (100 points).

The standard procedure for accumulating bonus points depends on the subscriber length of service and the volume of consumption of communication services, including the amount of the tariff fee. As a stimulating factor, the operator applies a special incentive coefficient (see table).

Service experience at MTS	Coefficient for awarding bonus points
up to 180 days (less than 6 months)	1,0
from 181 to 365 days (6-12 months)	1.1 (10% increase)
from 366 to 730 days (1-2 years)	1.2 (20% increase)
From 731 days (over 2 years)	1.3 (30% increase)

Subscribers with up to six months of service receive 1 point for every 5 rubles spent on MTS communications. As the length of service increases, every 5 rubles spent are no longer converted into 1, but 1.1 or 1.2 or 1.3 points. If, for example, your mobile budget per month is 500 rubles, at first you will receive 100 points, then 110, and after achieving two or more years of experience - 130. It is important to consider that reward points are also awarded for purchases with the MTS Money card and for paid home Internet, TV and telephone services.

Please note that only points received in the new service interval are subject to indexation. If you still have bonuses from the past period, they will not change their size and will not be multiplied by the assigned coefficient (1.1 or 1.2 or 1.3). It is also important to know that for users with extensive experience who have just now decided to register in the MTS Bonus program, points will be accrued immediately with a given coefficient. For example, for a subscriber who has been served by MTS for 1.5 years, every 5 rubles of communication costs will be equal to 1.2 points.

What is the incentive awarded for?

You can get points from the provider for anything, for example:

users receive bonuses for activating the loyalty program;
points are awarded for the purchase of all types of provider services;
can be obtained as a result of an enumeration by another user;
up to 25% of the purchase amount in points is credited to the account when activating the cashback service;
Users receive gift cashback for registering an email and inviting friends based on recommendations.

To find out more information, you should pay attention to the ordered services. They will indicate the number of available bonuses

How to check bonus points

Points are accumulated on the subscriber’s additional account, so separate services and requests are used to check it. The simplest option for monitoring your savings balance is the USSD command *111*455*0#, which is not charged even in roaming. Another convenient way to check the available amount of points, which is suitable for all types of phones and smartphones, is an SMS message with the text “Bonus” sent to number 4555.

If you send an SMS with the word Forecast to the same number, you can quickly find out how many points you need to spend in the near future, since their validity period is coming to an end (1 year from the date of accrual). To spend points with an expiring period in a timely manner, in the section “My bonus account” of the MTS Bonus Personal Account service, you can subscribe to regular SMS forecast mailings.

You can also check the balance of points on MTS through the MTS Bonus personal account interface, the online self-service service MTS Personal Account or its mobile version - the “My MTS” application, which is available on the operator’s website for iOS, Windows and Android.

If, according to personal calculations, there are more bonuses than are left on your balance, it means that new points have not yet been awarded. The MTS company updates the Bonus balance from the 20th to the 25th of each month and within 7 days after purchase at the MTS store. Bonuses for using mobile Internet are credited to the balance of the participating subscriber from the 11th to the 15th of the next month (for example, if you connected TV or Internet on September 16, you will receive points only on October 11-15).

How to use MTS bonuses in the store

Accumulated MTS points cannot be used as cash to purchase arbitrary goods in any store, but can be exchanged for significant discounts (up to 99%) for the purchase of smartphones and accessories in MTS stores. It is important to consider that when exchanging, the formula is 10 points = 1 ruble discount.

On the provider’s website you can always exchange your bonuses for discount certificates with the following denomination:

500 rubles – 5000 points;
800 rubles – 8000 points;
1000 rubles – 10000 points;
2000 rubles – 20000 points;
3000 rubles – 30000 points;
4000 rubles – 40000 points.

Here you need to take into account that you cannot order more than one certificate during a calendar month, so it is important to choose the right discount size and buy it in a timely manner.

After placing your order, you will receive a service SMS message with a digital certificate code, which you will need to present to the store manager when purchasing the product.

You can also take advantage of MTS bonuses in the Ozon store. To do this, just go to the rewards catalog on the provider’s website and exchange 300 points for a 300 ruble discount. The only condition for using the certificate is to order goods on Ozon.ru in the amount of at least 3,000 rubles. The discount is valid for 30 days from the date of order.

The unspent portion of bonus rubles is carried over to the next month. The promotional subscriber number must be the number allocated to the participant of the promotion under the subscription agreement and served on the MTS tariff intended for payment of mobile communication services or telematic communication services using an MTS SIM card. If the purchaser of a promotional smartphone has never had an MTS subscriber number before, or for use in a promotional smartphone the purchaser of such a smartphone wants to use a new subscriber number and at the same time such a purchaser wishes to participate in the promotion, then he must conclude a subscription agreement with MTS for the provision of communication services with provision of an MTS SIM card on the day of purchase of a promotional smartphone. As a result, such a subscriber will be allocated a number, which within the framework of the promotion will be considered a promotional subscriber number.

Bonus rubles are a discount on MTS mobile communication services. One bonus ruble can be used exclusively for the consumption of MTS mobile services worth 1 ruble.
