Didn’t know that grannynannywanny. I’m on o2

After having a delicious free lunch today courtesy of O2 I’m going to recommend the O2 Priority app again for anyone with an O2 mobile and doesn’t know about it.

They are currently offering a free Pizza Hut buffet lunch one day a week mon-thurs 11.30-3pm. You can claim one per week. Unlimited free salad bar as well. It was delicious.

On any one of 7 days you can have a free hot drink from Greggs.

On a Fri or Sat you can have a free hot breakfast roll or sausage roll from Greggs.

On any one of 7 days a free sweet treat from the cake section in Greggs.

There are also lots of free competitions for vouchers for John Lewis, Argos, Sainsbury’s etc.

In the past week I’ve had the Pizza Hut Buffet, a coffee and a mince pie. My O2 monthly package is only £8 so that’s it more than covered 😆

I don't understand why people are complaining, it is a free gift, surely nobody expected something free every day for 12 days.

You dont have to take part.

The promo for it says “We’re giving away 1000s of treats”, so I guess most people imagined they’d get a small free treat each day. It wouldn’t cost them a lot to give a small treat each day - and would have reaped benefits in terms of positive advertising.

I had 29% off Samsung phones today hmm

Me too Sarah
So they are effectively advertising other companies to their customers

Grannynannywanny Tue 06-Dec-22 10:45:23

Another Samsung discount here. I can understand the discounts applied to their own stock although I won’t be using any of those I’ve been offered so far. But I’m surprised to see the advertising and discounts for other companies.

CraftyGranny Tue 06-Dec-22 11:30:28

Yep, Samsung here too

Katyj Tue 06-Dec-22 15:10:15

Samsung here too 🙄

Nannagarra Tue 06-Dec-22 15:30:32

Another Samsung offer here. Tbh I’m becoming rather disillusioned with it.

You can also get the O2 freebies if you are with Virgin Media as they are now the same company.

I am another Samsung. I will decline it.So far I have 20 percent of Prosecco,a plastic fruit storage box for the fridge, a light up shortbread lantern also which I have accepted.

FannyCornforth Wed 07-Dec-22 06:37:00

Well, here goes for today’s little bit of excitement… 🤞 🍸

FannyCornforth Wed 07-Dec-22 06:37:46

15% off cakes envy

NotAGran55 Wed 07-Dec-22 06:45:49

50% off a shortbread biscuit in the cafe when purchased with a hot drink.

Jaxjacky Wed 07-Dec-22 07:08:19

20% off plants or flowers.

Pittcity Wed 07-Dec-22 13:54:43

£1 off a Swiss mountain truffle light up tin.....a what????

Do these light up things stay lit? The gin I was given last year only lit for a few seconds when you pressed the button. No use as an ornament at all.

Aveline Wed 07-Dec-22 15:11:47

I know. It's hard to see why all these light up chocolate boxes, biscuit tins, gin etc are such a big attraction.

fairfraise Wed 07-Dec-22 15:21:04

Just pressed on Day 7, it says I am too early!

fairfraise Wed 07-Dec-22 15:23:32

I had to press Day 6 again for 7 to open, with 15% off Stilton!

I like them, but I’m easily impressed.

I saved the light up village chocolate box from last year - it’s still working so I’m going to stick some chocolates in it to offer round when we have visitors. Sadly they won’t be shaped like little houses this time though.

I’ve still got last year’s light up gin liqueurs as well, half full. I’m obviously not drinking enough. smile

Maggiemaybe Wed 07-Dec-22 16:20:38

And I got 15% off flowers today. I wonder if we’ll all get something worth having again on day 12?

Katyj Wed 07-Dec-22 17:41:10

15% of flowers for me too. Might treat myself 😊

Nannagarra Wed 07-Dec-22 20:32:39

15% off Stilton.

Callistemon21 Wed 07-Dec-22 23:25:38

Nothing!!

FannyCornforth Thu 08-Dec-22 04:24:49

New day, new treat…
20% off bags and accessories.
I hope that includes jewellery as I have my eye in some earrings, but I doubt that it does

Purpledaffodil Thu 08-Dec-22 06:29:10

Lucky! I might have used that. Instead I’ve got 20% of children’s nightwear. Very random😢
