MTN Nigeria has created an innovative rewards system that allows Pulse tariff plan users to earn valuable points every time they purchase data. These points can be converted into airtime or data bundles when users need them most, providing essential connectivity support.
Understanding MTN Pulse Points Value
Each MTN Pulse point holds a monetary value equivalent to 1 Naira, making them a practical alternative to traditional airtime purchases. The points system offers flexibility for users who may face temporary financial constraints but need to stay connected.
The program requires users to be on the MTN Pulse tariff plan to participate. All accumulated points come with a one-year validity period, giving users ample time to redeem them before expiration.
Converting Pulse Points to Airtime
MTN provides two primary methods for converting your hard-earned Pulse points into usable airtime. Both methods are straightforward and can be completed within minutes.
USSD Code Method
The quickest way to convert your points is through the USSD code system. Follow these simple steps:
Dial *406# on your MTN line and wait for the menu options to appear. Select option 7 labeled "Pulse points" from the available choices. Choose option 2 for "Convert Points" and select "Airtime" as your preferred reward type. Enter the specific amount of airtime you wish to obtain and follow the remaining prompts to complete the conversion process.
MTN App Method
For users who prefer graphical interfaces, the myMTN app offers an alternative redemption method. Open the MTN application and sign into your account. Navigate to the "Rewards" or "MTN Points" section within the app. Select the "Redeem Airtime" option and follow the straightforward instructions to convert your points.
Converting Points to Data Bundles
The process for converting Pulse points to data bundles closely mirrors the airtime conversion method. Users can access various data plans including daily, weekly, monthly, and specialized bundles like Instagram or TikTok packages.
To convert points to data, dial *406# and select option 7 for "Pulse Points." Choose option 1 for "Redeem Data Bundles" and pick your preferred data plan from the available options. Complete the process by following the on-screen instructions, and your data bundle will be immediately credited to your line.
Checking Your Pulse Points Balance
Keeping track of your accumulated points is crucial for effective rewards management. The simplest method involves dialing *406*7# on your MTN Pulse line. From the menu that appears, select option 4 labeled "Pulse Points Balance." You will instantly receive a message displaying your current points balance along with their expiration date.
Migrating to MTN Pulse Tariff Plan
For customers not currently on the Pulse plan, MTN offers multiple migration options. The most direct method involves dialing *406*1# or *123*2*2# on your MTN line and selecting "Migrate to MTN Pulse" from the options.
Alternative methods include sending an SMS with the text "406" to 312, using the myMTN app to change your plan, or accessing the myMTN web portal. Migration is generally free unless you have changed plans within the last 30 days, in which case a fee of ₦102 applies.
The MTN Pulse rewards program represents one of the most customer-friendly initiatives in Nigeria's telecommunications sector, providing tangible value to loyal customers. By understanding how to effectively convert and utilize Pulse points, users can maximize their benefits and maintain connectivity even during financially challenging periods.
