Travel Benefits is are benefit in the form of travel discounts available to all qualifying Vodacom Post Paid, Top Up and uChoose customers. Customers are eligible to these benefits based on a tiered system which is determined by the type of tariff plan applicable to each subscription.
To activate the Travel Benefits, customers have to:
By activating their Travel Benefits, customers agree to be bound by these terms and conditions.
Each cellphone number (MSISDN) may register only once for Travel Benefits within a calendar year, this means January to December.
Once a customer has activated their Travel Benefits, they will be eligible to receiving benefits based on the tier applicable to their Standard Tariff Plan, as set out below. Note that should a customer be part of the Onyx programme, it will supersede their contract plan and qualify for Tier 1 benefits.
Qualifying contract holders will be eligible to the following benefits in accordance with the below tiers:
Employees of a company who hold an account with Vodacom (“Account Holder”), and have a cellphone number (MSISDN) assigned to them, they can activate their Travel Benefits using their assigned cellphone number (MSISDN) on the My Vodacom App. It is at the company’s discretion (Account Holder) to give permission or authorisation for the use of Contract Rewards.
In the event of a SIM Swap, an Authorised Administrator must contact Vodacom to deactivate the Travel Benefits and the user will have to reregister using the MyVodacom App.
If the customer migrates to a higher tariff plan, they will automatically qualify for benefits applicable to the Tariff Plan they migrated to from the next billing cycle.
For example: If they migrate from the Smart S tariff plan (Tier 4) to the RED Select tariff plan (Tier 2) they will then enjoy the benefits on Tier 2 which are applicable to RED Select tariff plan from the next billing cycle.
If the customer migrates to a lower tariff plan, they will automatically be lowered to the benefits applicable to the Standard Tariff Plan they migrate to from the next billing cycle.
If the customer moves to a different tariff plan but have already redeemed a benefit on the previous tariff plan and paid in full, they will still be able to make use of it even though they have migrated.
For example: If they booked a flight whilst on RED VIP+ tariff plan and paid for it in full and then downgrade to a RED Premium+ tariff plan before the date of the flight, they will still be able to enjoy their benefit without losing the discount gained whilst they were still on RED VIP+ tariff plan.
If the customer migrates to a Standard Tariff Plan that does not have benefits on the My Vodacom Rewards Programme, they will not be entitled to any benefits as from the next billing cycle.
Vodacom reserves the right to cease benefits in the event that any of their accounts with Vodacom are in arrears.
Customers will need to renew/upgrade their contract. At month 24 (last day of contract term) of the Vodacom contract, all benefits will cease. Benefits will be reactivated 30 days after a new contract has been signed.
Should the customer port to another network or terminate their contract with Vodacom, they will not be entitled to any benefits in terms of the My Vodacom Rewards Programme with immediate effect. , however, any benefits booked and paid in full before the termination date of the contract will still be valid for use.
Customers will not be entitled to make use of any benefits if their handset is blacklisted and no benefits will be carried over. Vodacom will reactivate your benefits in the event that their SIM Swap is successfully completed.
Benefits are made available on a monthly basis and do not carry over if not used.
Benefits are valid from 1 January to 31 December. Benefits cannot be carried over to the next year, with the exception of travel booked for the following year (if booked and paid in full).
