Taking care of its subscribers, MTS has created a special program, according to which customers can exchange their accumulated points for the services of a mobile operator, for example, for packages of minutes or messages, for megabytes of Internet, etc.
Each point earned by the user is valued at 5 kopecks. This program brings benefits not only to users, but also increases the revenue of the cellular company, as it actively encourages customers to use various services from MTS.
But, despite the fact that this actually increases people's communication costs, they subsequently have the opportunity to compensate for them by simply connecting to the service to accumulate bonuses.
The most popular option for using gift units provided by the operator is the accrual of additional Internet traffic for bonuses.
Below is a guide on how you can connect to the Internet on MTS for bonus points.
The purpose of creating the MTS Bonus program
The bonus system is introduced for the purpose of:
- Attract the subscriber's attention to various services,
- To promote the company on the market and attract a larger number of subscribers (for the same purpose, brands such as MTS Money or MGTS are created),
- Creation of a client base,
- Encouragement to use the company's products.
The longer a client is served by MTS, the more he is rewarded. The mobile operator awards more points for length of service. This is another way to retain customers and form a permanent client base.
How to check the number of accruals
Each MTS client can find out at any time how many bonus accruals are already in his piggy bank.
Ways to check MTS points:
- SMS to number 4555 with the text BAL or Bonus;
- dialing a coded number from your phone *111*455*0# (free);
- "Personal Account" service. The number of points is indicated by the scoreboard next to the subscriber’s first and last name;
- Application "MTS Bonus" in the "Rewards Catalog".
Also, for connecting to a promotional tariff package, the network awards MTS bonuses, the balance of which will be indicated by the number *100*2#.
How to connect MTS Bonus
To connect to the program and use accrued points, you must register. You can register in the following ways:
- Fill out an application on the website bonus.mts.ru,
- Send an SMS to short number 4555 (any message text),
- On your mobile device, enter the USSD combination * 111 * 455 * 1 # (sending the command is free),
- Buy a MTS Money card,
- Contact technical support by calling 0890 or and inform the employee of your desire to connect the program,
- Make a purchase in one of the MTS cellular communication stores or in the online store on the website shop.mts.ru.
After registration, you will receive an SMS message confirming the registration procedure. The SMS message will be received within 7 days from the date of activation.
Users of all tariff plans can participate in the program, except for the Alle tariff plan.
To connect to the program, subscribers using home Internet, television and telephony services must select the “Home Internet and TV” section on the website bonus.mts.ru and fill out an application for connection. This service is available to clients of the Altai Territory, Astrakhan Region, Kemerovo Region, Volgograd Region, Krasnoyarsk and Krasnodar Territories, Novosibirsk Region, Orenburg and Omsk Regions, Perm Territory, Rostov and Sverdlovsk Regions, Stavropol Territory, Tyumen Region, Tatarstan, Yamalo-Nenets and Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug.
Please note: Bonuses are not awarded for using satellite TV services.
What to do if you don't have enough points
Nothing can be done about this, since the operator has closed this bonus program. The only thing that still functions is the exchange of savings for prizes. There is no way to increase their number; all that remains is to choose a reward for the remainder of your bonuses.
The bonuses accumulated in the program do not last forever - they have a validity period of 12 months. They expire if this period has passed after receipt. To prevent this, exchange them for the desired service - this will save on mobile communications.

How to exchange MTS points for Internet, money, minutes or SMS
There are several options for exchanging bonus accruals for free services:
- Gift certificates;
- Subscription to magazines;
- Connection to additional services;
- Using melodies instead of beeps from the “GOOD'OK” application;
- A selection of gifts and discounts presented on the Omlet.ru portal;
- Communication within the network (additional minutes for calls or SMS);
- Increase in Internet traffic volume
To detail the use of the most popular incentives in the form of minutes, certificates, Internet traffic, etc., we will dwell on some of those offered by MTS for points.
Gift certificates for MTS points
MTS points are not converted into cash. They are instantly converted into opportunities. The closest thing to cash payments is the procedure for issuing a certificate from any of the MTS partners who participate in the loyalty program. Also, the subscriber has the opportunity to convert points into money, which immediately after registration is credited to the MTS-money card and will become an excellent financial support when purchasing any phone or accompanying headset.
Bonus minutes and SMS messages
Minutes and SMS received for accumulated MTS points are distributed exclusively for communication with MTS subscribers within the home network within 30 days from the date of accrual. 210 points can be exchanged for 30 additional free minutes, and an hour of free communication is equal to writing off 300 MTS points.
Melody instead of beep
The path from the main page of the “Loyalty Programs” service to the section with the list of gifts will lead to the “Entertainment” position, where you can choose your favorite musical composition, which will be heard by those who dial your number for 14 days. This gift is valued by the company at 75 MTS points. The service does not turn off automatically, so after exactly 2 weeks you should turn it off by dialing *111*29#. Otherwise, the system will deduct a day from the subscriber’s account for a melody instead of a beep.
Internet instead of MTS points
For MTS points you can use Internet services or order traffic:
- We are talking about the BIT service for 590 points with a monthly connection.
- The list of features includes the “SuperBIT” option for 990 points.
- You can simply add megabytes to your package for a certain period of time
- 100 MB equals 150 MTS points
- 500 MB equals 475 MTS points
- 1 GB equals 875 MTS points
- 2 GB equals 1500 MTS points
- 5 GB will cost 2250 points
- 20 GB will cost 4500 MTS points.
Roaming for MTS points
MTS points are also accepted if the subscriber wants to activate advanced opportunities for foreign communication without spending a penny on it from his personal account. Activation of the services “Everywhere at home Smart” and “Everywhere at home” is provided for 30-90 days.
MTS tries to find an approach to all customers, taking into account the characteristics and needs of each age group and offering a wide range of ways to exchange points. Studying demand, telecom operator MTS updates and supplements the list of offers, which is always reported on all specialized resources of the company. The maximum benefit is obtained by exchanging points for any MTS services.
It is more convenient to do the process of exchanging MTS points for gifts from the screen of a PC, laptop or tablet, where all service options are visible and it is more convenient to cope with the procedure for entering code combinations.
Registered users of the MTS bonus program can use their personal account in the MTS Bonus service to order interesting items in the “How to spend points” section.
Codes for exchange
To know how to exchange points for Megafon traffic, you need to be able to use certain SMS commands. For each group of bonuses (100 MB or 500 MB), the operator came up with different SMS commands. If you want to receive 100 additional megabytes into your account, you need to send SMS code “165”. If you have accumulated enough bonus points to receive 500 megabytes, send “180”.
To transfer accumulated bonus points into Internet traffic, we need to use one of several methods:

What is a "Turbo Bonus"?
“Turbo bonus” is an option for the Internet. It allows you to connect:
- 100 MB;
- 500 MB;
- 1 GB;
- 2 GB;
- 5 GB.
The MTS “Turbo Bonus” has not only restrictions on the amount of internet provided, but also on time. Each package is provided for up to 60 days, after which it will simply expire. If megabytes are spent before the specified period, the option will be automatically disabled.
Reference! The “Turbo Bonus” button is used no more often than once every 2 months for one package. This means that the 100 MB reward can only be reactivated after 60 days, even if they are spent earlier. However, at the same time it is possible to use offers with different traffic volumes.
How to become a member
The easiest way to register is on a regular computer connected to the Internet. The official website of the mobile operator has a special form, after filling it out you will have access to many functions.
After this, all you have to do is report your intention to become a participant in the program through the tab located in your Personal Account. By regularly visiting the latter, any subscriber will be able to control both the account balance and the availability of various interesting offers from the operator.
It’s also worth remembering that bonuses will only be available for one year – then they simply expire.
In addition, it is easy to register through a call center consultant if you call back to the number 0809.
And finally, there is a third way to do this: send a special command to the system - *111*455*1#.
Convert bonuses into minutes
Before changing your bonus reward for minutes, you first need to select a suitable package, the code of which must be written in an SMS. The number 5010 is used to send a message. The transferred minutes can also be gifted to a friend or loved one. In this case, the text of the message is composed in the same way as in the case of an SMS and traffic gift.
| Name of reward | Number of bonuses | SMS code |
| to MegaFon numbers in the Moscow region | ||
| 10 outgoing minutes | 25 | 9101 |
| 30 outgoing minutes | 65 | 9103 |
| to MegaFon Russia numbers | ||
| 10 outgoing minutes | 30 | 9201 |
| 30 outgoing minutes | 145 | 9203 |
Where can I cash out my accumulated points?
Many subscribers use a trick and still manage to sell their accumulated points. To do this, they sell them to other subscribers. This type of implementation is illegal, but there is nothing special to be afraid of. The mobile operator does not strictly punish sellers and buyers: it does not impose penalties and does not block bonus accounts.
This method of cashing out is quite risky. Not all buyers pay for their purchase. Once they receive points into their account, they do not transfer money. At the same time, the buyer cannot ask for help, since he himself is a violator.
Conditions for bonus accrual
Subscribers receive bonuses in the following cases:
- Use of mobile communications.
- Connecting to an Internet provider or home TV.
- Buying an MTS Bank card and paying for purchases.
- Purchasing products from cellular network partners.
- Inviting friends to become subscribers of the company.
The most convenient way to accumulate points is from two SIM cards at once. Subsequently, you can transfer them to one account. The longer the user uses the company’s services, the higher the coefficient is accrued to him, which increases the percentage of savings.
A well-known mobile operator invites its users to become participants in the MTS bonuses loyalty program. For using traditional communication services, subscribers can accumulate MTS bonus points, which can later be exchanged for useful options and services. Let's figure out what special points are and how to spend MTS bonuses?
Accumulated bonuses can only be spent if you are a registered user of the promotion. How to activate bonuses on MTS - quick ways:
- official website of the company - fill out the form in the appropriate section, after registration is completed, welcome points in the amount of 150 bonuses are credited to the client’s account. Users are also invited to take advantage of additional points (110) if you provide your real date of birth and additional personal information;
- sending a message to phone 4555 - SMS to MTS can be either empty or contain text;
- short request – activate the service using the command *105#;
- activation using the request *111*455*1#.
How is the promotion activated?
Lately, many people have become interested in the question: is it possible to give bonus points and rubles to friends and family? The company does not provide such an option. But if you have a great desire to help a loved one, you can only use the activation function on someone else’s number and receive additional services. Thus, it turns out that each subscriber has the right to donate accumulated points only in the form of additional free actions for calculating their points.
Only mobile communications users from MTS have a unique opportunity to exchange points for cash. This service is valid for two weeks from the moment of connection. The cost of 300 bonus points is 10,000 rubles. To activate you need to press * 707 * 51 #. The cost of 500 points is equal to 20,000 rubles and to activate you need to send an SMS to number 7070 with the numbers 52. For 650 bonuses you get a discount of 30,000 rubles and it is activated by pressing * 707 * 53 #. 40,000 rubles are given as a discount on communication services for 800 bonuses and this is activated by pressing * 707 * 54 #. For 950 bonuses you can get a discount of 50,000 rubles. To do this, send an SMS with the numbers 55 to number 7070. To receive a discount of 100,000 rubles, you need 1600 points and this is activated by the combination * 707 * 56 #. If several bonuses are activated, their amount is added, and the validity period is calculated according to the date of the last activated bonus. All funds spent can be seen on the website. Each action is carried out according to the standards and tariffs provided by the company to its subscribers.
To find out the balance of funds and bonus points, you need to send a USSD request * 706 #. You can also exchange received points in a special Internet assistant on the company’s website. In a special catalog on the website, you can view stores and places where you can pay with bonuses. This list is constantly updated and edited in order of current discounts and promotional offers.
The bonus program from MTS is actually a very beneficial and profitable event, which allows subscribers not only to use mobile communication services and the Internet, but also to receive pleasant gifts, bonuses and rewards.
Do you know how to convert MTS points into money? This question is very relevant. In order to answer this, you should carefully understand the terms and conditions of the service provided. Not all subscribers of mobile operators carefully study the terms of cooperation before connecting to a particular service, which subsequently raises a number of questions.
If you carefully study the terms of service for accumulating points from MTS, you can conclude that the contract states in black and white that the accumulated funds cannot be cashed out, but only exchanged for a certain list of services.
This is due to the following criteria:
- Exclusion of additional damages. It is much more profitable for a company to exchange for its own services.
- The mobile operator does not have the right to refuse clients to use their own balance, i.e., cash it out. And bonus points are a promotion that provides for accumulation in order to improve the quality of service.
The MTS company is only raising the question of the emergence of such an opportunity. By law, points are a percentage that is awarded depending on the amount spent by the client. They have no monetary equivalent. Despite this, the mobile operator, due to numerous requests from customers, decided to consider such an opportunity and make it a reality.
special instructions
You need to remember these important points: bonus points will not be awarded if:
- you received money through an ATM, bank teller or other financial location;
- rubles have been credited to the MTS Money card account;
- you pay for bank services;
- money is returned to the account that was previously debited as payment for the goods;
- payment is made for various bets, wagers, lottery tickets, and the right to participate in the prize draw is acquired;
- when paying for the purchase of traveler's checks;
- when purchasing foreign currency.
To take part in the promotion, you need to send a USSD request * 150 # via the Internet, contact any MTS office, or call the Contact Center. Activation cost is 1500 rubles. This amount will be debited on the day of activation. There are no payments every month. If you delete the program and then connect it again, the activation amount will be charged again. How is bonus money calculated? This occurs due to the charging period of your tariff plan. For example, you called someone for 1 minute and 20 seconds, you are awarded bonuses for 2 minutes in the amount of 60 rubles. For every 3 rubles you spend on important communication services, such as calls and SMS, the company awards you 1 bonus point, and 6 rubles for additional services. Thus, it turns out that the more money you spend on services, the more bonuses and points you acquire. The length of time you have been a client of the company is also taken into account. For this you are awarded additional points. There are many options for spending points. And SMS, and mms, and calls, and even the “black list” function. It will cost about 30 points. It is also possible to activate the auto-number identification service. But this is the most expensive service. Many people prefer, instead of transferring points to mobile communications, to spend them on gift certificates, which can later be used in various hardware stores, children's goods stores, and others.
