Globe For Good

I already disconnected my Globe postpaid account last September. Actually, I should have done that last January since my two years contract was already finished since that time.  My sister has been using that account that is still under my name for a year already since I already applied for a Smart account last year too. Actually, I could have stayed with Globe if I only I receive a new cellphone after two years of being locked with it.  It was frustrating because I always pay on time and I am paying them almost twice the amount of my G-text plan and they are saying I didn’t qualify to receive a new phone. It is unfair because if you apply for a new line, you could get a new phone.  Although it is a hassle to have a new number and you’ll be tied up again for two years. 

I received the latest bill and I overpaid a certain amount that is less than 1 thousand pesos.  Because I have applied for a new line for my other sister, I told the customer care agent to check if I can just credit the payment to my other bill since I already disconnected the other line.  Then I told him that it is saddening that I was not able to get the Rewards promo. He checked my account and he told me that I have a reward of five thousand pesos.  Good thing that I asked him about it.   I would not have known about it if I failed to ask. One of my officemate emailed that promo but I almost have let that slipped away if not for that agent. I am thankful to that agent that he suggested that I just have my line reconnected.  I have the option of claiming it thru Bill rebates that means the reward will be divided into 12 and that amount will be credited on 12 equal payments to my bill. I can have it converted to G cash which will be credited to my account quarterly for a year. The last option is use it as a discount for a cellphone if I want to buy a new unit.  The bill rebate I think is the best choice for me because first, I don’t intend to use G-Cash and the price of the cellphones Globe is offering is high compared to other sellers.   I am really glad because thru its bill rebate, I’ll just be paying less than 100 pesos if I don’t exceed my P500 G-text plan. Anyway, I am waiting for the reconnection of my line within 24 hours.

I hope I have made a good decision instead of having it disconnected.  Good thing that I was able to check my account if it qualifies with their promo. I still  have until Oct. 31 to avail their offer. Anyway, that’s a.. I already want to sleep.
