How to pay with "Thank you" MTS services?

Customers of Sberbank, one of the most popular banks in our country, are familiar with the “Thank you” bonus program. For any operations on the account related to the payment of goods or services by bank transfer, points are accrued to the account holder. You can use them in many ways. Often, customers are interested in the question of how to pay with MTS "Thank you" bonuses and can this be done? This will be discussed in this article.

Accrual of bonuses under the program "Thank you"

Before moving on to the topic of the article and answering the question of how to pay MTS (communication services) bonuses, we will consider the process of scoring points on the bonus program. The first thing that holders of Sberbank cards need to know is that the program is activated only manually by the client (it does not connect automatically when a card is received at a bank branch). To become a member and start receiving bonuses for operations on the card, you must familiarize yourself with the terms of the program and become its member. You can do this yourself: through the personal account of the account holder, through bank terminals, using the phone. In the first two cases, everything is pretty obvious: we select the appropriate menu on the website or at the ATM. You can also enter the bonus program through your mobile phone. To do this, send a message to number 900 with the text: " THANKS <4 last digits of the card >". After registration has occurred in the program, for each purchase that will be paid with a credit card, its holder will receive an amount of 0.5% of the payment to the account. The mechanism for accruing bonuses is quite transparent. In the future, accumulated points can be used to pay for services and goods through stores included in the affiliate program. The only drawback of the Thank You program is the modest number of companies where you can "spend" bonuses.

Sberbank cardholders, who also use MTS as a mobile operator, are lucky. After all, bonuses stored in the account can be easily transferred to the balance of a mobile number to pay for communication services.

Payment options for MTS communication services with “Thank you” bonuses

Earlier, bank card holders and bonus program participants were provided with two ways to transfer accumulated points in rubles to the account of a mobile operator: through a personal account of a bank or through an official resource of a provider company. However, from the beginning of October 2016, the conditions were changed. At the moment, if you turn to the question of how to pay “Thank you” MTS bonuses through “Sberbank-online” to the employees of the customer service of the mobile operator, you can find out that this is no longer possible. Please note that this applies only to bonus points, the transfer of money from the card account is still available through the functionality of the personal account of the bank.
