£6 per month off mine and my wife bills, so £72 per year for having to click an extra button sometimes. Genius - have some heat!

Have tried to download the app but can't find it on the Google play store? followed tescos own link of their website but that didn't work either. nice idea though if you don't mind the odd ad, I wonder how much extra battery it uses and do you need to be on 3G/4G or WiFi constantly?

Won't work if your contract is from before 8 Aug 2013

but most contracts are only 24 months long? so anyone signing up (or renewing / upgrading) to tescos should still be eligible. Or am I missing something?

There are bugs upon activating. I qualify for this but it has been referred to the ops team to figure out what is causing the problem. 3-5 days turnaround

That will be due to Tesco removing their zero capped tariff that they had, they replaced it with a £2.50 minimum buffer from August 2013.

I'm still on a capped tariff but am still eligible for this

Is it a zero capped tariff, Tesco deleted the zero capped tariff.

Are you meant to get an ad every single time you unlock? It's getting pretty annoying.

So far it's been every third or fourth time you unlock for me. Also you get used to it, simply just clicking X on the top right hand corner. Easy process and easy way to save on phone bill tbh. Heated OP.

There is a minimum usage requirement, but can I find it in their T&C's... :smirk:
All I can find is... To get your discount you need to view at least one piece of Xtras content each day for 21 days in your billing month.

So does this mean clicking on one of the adverts each day for 21 days?

Mine was pretty much every time I unlocked the phone. Deleted the app as would rather pay the three quid than put up with that rubbish.

"Viewing" is not the same as "clicking on". You can just close them. After seeing this elsewhere I'm considering selling my soul for £3 off a month.

I installed this app a couple of days ago after I heated this post, and haven't seen a single ad when unlocking AND I've got 200MB data added to my number. let's see if I get £3 off my bill :sunglasses:
I'm not seeing the ads probably because I've got an ad-blocker in my phone :smile:

I installed the app about two weeks ago and it is really really annoying.
The only good thing about it is that I avoid unlocking the phone unless I really need to, which means I waste less time doing things like checking Whatsapp, Linkedin and so on.
