Following the extension of the COVID-19 lockdown for another 21 days, Airtel Uganda has introduced a new campaign that encourages subscribers to become community champions by loading airtime for their friends and families safely and conveniently using Airtel’s digital solutions.
The Airtel Uganda digital solutions include:
- My Airtel App (Airtel’s Self-care App)
- Online recharge portal which is available on the www.airtel.co.ug
- USSD channel (using Airtel Money wallet)
- Through the App and website, the customer can either pay through Airtel Money or Credit/Debit cards
As part of the campaign, the community champion gets 3% airtime back instantly as a reward for recharging their family & friend. The cashback is received instantly and goes to the subscribers main account to be used without any validity restrictions.
Commenting about the new campaign, Airtel Uganda Managing Director Mr. V.G. Somasekhar noted that Airtel Uganda is committed to standing with Ugandans during this COVID-19 pandemic.
“We have put in place multiple interventions to ensure that Ugandans can continue enjoying our superior network offerings during this lockdown. This Community Champion campaign encourages sharing between friends and families while standing to benefit by earning a 3% cash back on the airtime shared using our simple and convenient digital solutions,” he noted.
Community Champions can earn their 3% instant cashback from transactions as low as 100 shillings. For debit, credit card and other wallet options, there is a minimum threshold for recharge of 150,000 shillings to receive the 3% airtime back.
To use the Airtel self-care app, subscribers simply have to click on ‘Buy Airtime’, enter mobile number of friend or family member (or) choose from contacts, enter amount they want to recharge, choose a payment option & complete payment. Subscribers using feature phones and cannot download the app can also be part of this promotion by buying any airtime for friends & family through USSD Airtel Money menu & earning
the cashback of 3%. They simply have to Dial *185#, Select Airtime/Bundles, Select Buy Airtime, select for another number, Enter Mobile number, Enter Amount and Enter PIN to confirm payment.
To ensure excellent customer experience during the lockdown, Airtel Uganda recently announced the rollout of 50 additional network sites thereby reaffirming their network leadership position in Uganda with a total of 2,000 network masts across the country.
