In the fight against the subscriber for "blood" Bee-bonus winner is ... Rosbank!

An interesting joint project Rosbank and Beeline in part of the total "sighting" of subscribers, we have already mentioned. Among Moscow subscribers of the operator of the "VISA as a gift" not only knows very inconsiderate or using only surface transport, posters almost every second car of the subway. Let's see how it works in reality, not marketing descriptions.

How much interest and to whom?

The ad highlights the summation separately bonuses for family contracts Bee Plus: 15% +3% = 18% of the payment. Ie reduction in communications costs almost one-fifth! About that "Beebonus 15" actually means the real discount around 13% you might guess, having a level of mathematical knowledge eighth grade middle school. On the semi-mythical nature of even the 13% we have already mentioned, the discreteness "bonusirovaniya" (that is the accumulation threshold of $ 15 on the account) makes the 15-percent bonus of 10-11%. And that - subject to availability of a certain amount of free money at the right time, and for the most common schemes recharge bonus will be at the level of 4-6%. But the 3% bonus with the payment card rosbankovskoy VISA - very real and without pitfalls, as applicable to each payment.

In all the advertising leaflets and posters reading "VISA as a gift to all subscribers of Beeline," but in fact the project may participate in only the subscribers of Beeline GSM, tens of thousands of subscribers BeeLine DAMPS were bypassed attention Rosbank. From a technical point of view everything is clear (DAMPS platform does not allow to implement a service), but it should be noted at least one line in a detailed four-page description.

The procedure for obtaining maps

The promotional description is simple: fill out an application at one of the offices Rosbank five working days we cherished a nominal credit card VISA-Classic or VISA-Electron. A lack of VISA Electron and promised to do five minutes after treatment. Card offered to all subscribers of Beeline, regardless of contract type and connection, but not the fact that you get the VISA-Classic. In the statement there is a remarkable point to agree (on) that the Bank may give me a card VISA-beebonus Electron me instead of the specified cards VISA-beebonus Classic ", when filling out applications for VISA-Classic bank employees are strongly encouraged to tick and the item. If a tick does not deliver (iedeliberately refuse VISA - Electron), and the bank decides that the VISA-Classic Client "the person did not come out", the card will not be released at all.

If the bank claims to a potential cardholder is not available, the credit card will be issued, the information transmitted to the operator, the card will be registered as legal tender and the system will generate the appropriate BeeLine SMS-message. About this will tell the bank when applying to come and advise for the card in a couple of days after receipt of SMS. By the way, if ever as a means of payment in BeeLine was registered another card, the system will automatically replace it with a VISA card Rosbank. However, even receiving SMS's office Rosbank hurry do not need - nothing passage. It turns out, must come another SMS with a notice that the map is ready and it can take. In our case, an SMS-notification of the final "maturation" cards come in 4 days after the first SMS-alert.

Read the fine print, it is not clear - not too lazy to ask

If anyone was counting immediately receive this credit (not debit) card - in vain expected. A credit application (by the way, at 24% per annum) Rosbank will consider six months and not a fact that will satisfy. According to one of the managers Rosbank one of the most important determining factors will be "dengooborot" account balance: more and more you spend / put your money, the better your chances for credit.

Immensely puzzled paragraph 4.5 of "Rules" (see photo): it turns out that pay-by BeeLine beloved grandmother "not allowed"? In fact, the drafters simply failed put it, is even allowed to pay (eg ATMs). True, with the payment of "outsiders" phone a three-percent bonus will no longer be a bonus is calculated only upon payment of a registered phone.

Beeoffice closed, "all went to the front"

So, map in pocket money at stake put an envelope with a password to log on to the "Payments" Beeoffice received, you can collect bonuses? Certainly not! The Internet version of a Beeoffice not let me, persistently reported an incorrect password or telephone number. A call to the subscription service a few clarify the situation. It turns out that due to "work on upgrading the software" such online-payment from the registered card over the Internet will not pass - please! - Right up to August 26.Tak, sir, but what about the penalty interest for late payment of bills? They are a payment system to charge BeeLine will not forget! Go to the ATM, to withdraw from the card had just put the money and buy a card BeePay? Expensive: a minimum of $ 3 Rosbank for cash withdrawals, plus lost 3% bonus, plus the lost time and extra hassle. On this question abonsluzhba BeeLine reply failed.

But in the end, the Internet version Beeoffice world is large enough - no wonder there are several alternative payment options / refill. We go to the section "Payments through the SIM-menu of the phone when prompted enter your password - victory! The password is accepted, the system is available, you can pay bills or fill up the balance. Trying to drive the required amount in rubles, click "Continue", we answer "received payment, wait for SMS-confirmation." We are waiting, sir. Instead we get the confirmation call back from the AU BeeLine: As a result of extensive consultations with experts cute girl Faith (God help her health!) Learned two interesting facts: 1) Alternative methods of payment to the registered card may also not work until August 26, 2) In any If Rosbankovskoy VISA card you can pay the bill and an ATM, 3% bonus in this case will also be assessed. But we already had a payment via SIM-menu of the phone! Or not really spent? Or spent, but delayed until August 26? Would help the bank statement, but an extraordinary statement on the card account - paid, and the reluctance on the fourth (!) Just go to the bank, some transportation costs accumulates at least $ 2.

Conclusions and epilogue

Thus, the dry residue as a result of experiments with the payment card account VISA - Beebonus:

1. Described in the Manual Method of payment / recharge your account failed. And, it seems, can not be earlier than 26 August.
2. Money allocated to pay for mobile communication, safely settled in virtually interest-free card account - to the delight of Rosbank.
3. Razrulivanie situation in the best case would cost the loss of time and nerves, and at worst - the same plus a financial loss.
4. In principle, the system is almost ready for normal operation, just need a bit to wait until everything settled down and adjusted.

As an epilogue - a sketch from nature. An office Rosbank card VISA Beebonus (August 12 at about 17:45) I watched with amazement the unusual "view": the subscribers of Beeline pounded card VISA Beebonus on a rack and demanded that the bank tellers to pay his account in the Beeline. Motivation: "Your card?" Your "Do not want to know, pay my bill in a Beeline for $ 15.01 - not I!". By the time I left the office Rosbank scandalous caller has already gathered around him the entire leadership of the branch and vindictive heart of quoted articles of the Law on Consumer Protection. " At that point I still did not know about waiting for a surprise-style "features national BiOfisa" and did not heed the warning - unfortunately. But reading the Mobile-Review subscribers of Beeline now in the course and not go to Rosbank demand pay their bills for mobile communication.
