MTN Loyalty Points: How to Check and Use Your Reward

MTN has never shied away from revamping and rewarding its overwhelming number of customers ever since it began operation. Virtually all of the brand’s hugely-rewarding programs are targeted at loyal customers with no plans of making a switch to other competitive telecommunication brands. In a bid to keep its customers and also add value to its services, the company came up with a point-based scheme called the MTN loyalty points initiative and it’s been hugely rewarding indeed.

Though customer retention is tough in the competitive market, MTN has been able to hold millions of its customers intact through this point-based program.

Everything You Need To Know About MTN Loyalty Points Program

The MTN Loyalty Point Program is a reward-based initiative that allows MTN users in South Africa to earn points each time they spend on the network. In other words, the company rewards every customer that spends on the network through the MTN 141 Loyalty Program by giving them points that are equivalent to the amount they spent.

One of the reasons MTN launched the program is to effectively reward its loyal customers because the company believes that loyalty points are a great way of retaining customers and people will stick around if they are rewarded and also get motivated to spend more because they will be getting something in return.

To be part of the program, you will need to register first. Here’s how to do it.

  • Dial *141*9* on your phone
  • Enter your valid South African identification number plus # (ie *141*9* your ID number#)
  • Press the dial button
  • Wait patiently for a feedback
  • A message will pop up on your screen indicating that you have successfully registered for the program and an SMS confirming your registration will be sent to your line.
  • If you did not receive a confirmation message, just know that your registration failed. You might have to try again or contact their customer care line at 135 or 083135.

Who Is Eligible For MTN Loyalty Points And How Much Will I Spend To Earn A Point?

The loyalty point program is exclusively designed for MTN loyal customers. Those who are eligible to enjoy this amazing initiative include pre-paid customers or pay-as-you-go customers as well as customers under contract packages.

Earning a point on the scheme starts immediately after registration and you don’t have to have millions before you begin raking in your points.
