Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully. Participation in the Vodacom Summer Spend and Get campaign constitutes acceptance of these Terms and Conditions.

  • Vodacom reserves the right to update these terms and conditions and where such change is significant, Vodacom shall provide its customers with reasonable written notice before implementing any such change.
  • Vodacom reserves the right to limit the service in regions or areas where there is limited network capacity (high congestion) in order to maintain consistent quality of service.

  • Vodacom reserves the right to suspend, cancel or change the Service with reasonable notice.

2. Duration

  • The Vodacom Summer Spend and Get campaign will start on the 18th of October 2026 ("Start Date"), and it will run until the 31st of March 2027 ("End Date") (“Promotion Period”).
  • Only participation during this Period as stipulated in clause 2.1 above will qualify for rewards, provided that the required action is completed within the given time.

3. Eligibility and Enrolment

  • Summer Spend and Get is available to eligible Vodacom Prepaid and Hybrid customers who have opted in to the VodaBucks Rewards Programme
  • Postpaid customers, non-Vodacom customers, Machine-to-Machine SIMs, APN SIMs, community service numbers, bulk SMS applications are excluded.
  • To participate, a customer must opt in to the VodaBucks Rewards Programme and accept its terms and conditions. The VodaBucks Rewards Programme terms are available at https://www.vodacom.co.za/vodacom/terms/vodacom-rewards-programme
  • Participation is linked to the qualifying Vodacom mobile number. Rewards are allocated to the number that completed the qualifying transaction and may not be transferred to another number.
  • Only qualifying spend completed and successfully recorded during the Campaign Period and the participant’s active 30-day cycle will count towards Summer Spend and Get.
  • Vodacom may exclude or disqualify any participant who does not meet the eligibility requirements or who abuses, manipulates or fraudulently uses Summer Spend and Get.

4. How Summer Spend and Get Works

  • Summer Spend and Get operates on a rolling 30-day cycle for each participant. At the start of each cycle, the participant’s qualifying spend tracker starts at R0 and the scheduled reset date will be displayed on the participant’s dashboard.
  • Vodacom will present the applicable spend goals and associated reward options upfront through USSD and the VodaPay App. Goals, thresholds and rewards may differ between participants and may be personalised.
  • Qualifying spend accumulates across successful eligible transactions during the participant’s active 30-day cycle. Cancelled, reversed, fraudulent, failed or refunded transactions do not qualify and may be removed from the tracker.
  • A transaction will not be counted twice. Where airtime is purchased and that airtime is subsequently used to buy a bundle or service, Vodacom may count only the first qualifying transaction.
  • When cumulative qualifying spend meets or exceeds a displayed threshold, the corresponding goal and reward options will unlock. One transaction may unlock more than one goal.
  • A participant may claim one reward from any unlocked goal during an active 30-day cycle or continue spending towards a higher goal before the cycle expires. A reward selection is final and cannot be changed, reversed or exchanged.
  • As soon as a reward is successfully claimed, the current cycle ends immediately. The qualifying spend tracker resets to R0, all goals and rewards return to a locked state, and a new rolling 30-day cycle begins with a new scheduled reset date.
  • If no reward is claimed by the scheduled reset date, the tracker will automatically reset at the end of the active 30-day cycle, whether or not the participant has accumulated qualifying spend or unlocked a reward.
  • No qualifying spend, goal progress, unlocked status or unclaimed reward carries over after either reset event.
  • Reward allocations may be subject to reasonable processing delays.

5. Qualifying Spend

  • Only transactions identified by Vodacom as qualifying transactions will count.
  • Qualifying spend include eligible purchases of Vodacom Airtime, Voice, Data and integrated bundles
  • A transaction will not be counted twice. Where airtime is purchased and that airtime is subsequently used to buy a bundle or service, Vodacom will count only the airtime purchase as qualifying transaction.
  • Charges, purchases or revenue relating to excluded services, third-party charges, fixed or cloud services, subscription payment, device payments, finance charges, electricity purchases, bill payment, penalties, reversals or other non-qualifying items will not count as spend.
  • Vodacom’s transaction records will determine eligibility, qualifying spend, tracker progress, goal unlocking and reward allocation, subject to any clear error.

6. General Reward Conditions

  • Available rewards may include Data bundles, URL-specific data bundles, voice minutes, integrated bundles, VodaBucks, digital content, partner vouchers or other benefits selected by Vodacom.
  • Reward availability, value, quantity and validity may differ by participant, spend goal, customer segment or channel and remain subject to availability.
  • Reward descriptions, images and icons are illustrative. The reward actually allocated will be as described in the relevant Summer Spend and Get journey or confirmation message.
  • Rewards cannot be exchanged for cash, sold, transferred, substituted or refunded
  • Rewards must be claimed within the participant’s active 30-day cycle. An unlocked but unclaimed reward expires when the scheduled reset occurs, or earlier if the participant claims another unlocked reward and the tracker resets.
  • Once claimed, each reward is subject to its own validity period. Unused portions expire at the end of that period and are forfeited. Reward validity cannot be extended.
  • Vodacom may replace an unavailable reward with a reward of reasonably similar value and purpose.
  • A participant will ordinarily receive an in-app, USSD or SMS confirmation after successful selection or allocation. The participant must keep the relevant mobile number active and able to receive communications.

7. Data bundle and URL-Specific Bundle Rewards

  • Data bundle rewards are non-transferable and may only be used on the Vodacom mobile number to which they are allocated.
  • A URL-specific or application-specific data bundle may be used only for the designated service. For example, a YouTube bundle may be used only to access eligible YouTube services, and a TikTok bundle may be used only to access eligible TikTok services.
  • Accessing external links, advertisements, third-party sites, app stores, background services or other content outside the designated service may consume another available data bundle or incur applicable out-of-bundle charges.
  • Data usage after a reward bundle is depleted or expires will be deducted from another active data bundle or charged at the participant’s applicable price plan rate, where out-of-bundle usage is permitted.
  • Vodacom’s applicable order-of-consumption rules will determine which available data bundle is used first. Data usage that qualifies for a URL-specific or application-specific reward bundle will be deducted in accordance with those rules. Where the usage does not qualify for that reward bundle, or where the reward bundle is depleted or has expired, usage will be deducted from the next applicable active data bundle or charged at the customer’s applicable out-of-bundle rate, where out-of-bundle usage is permitted.

8. Voice Rewards

  • Voice rewards are non-transferable and may only be used by the Vodacom mobile number to which they are allocated.
  • The reward description will state whether minutes apply to Vodacom-to-Vodacom calls, calls to South African networks or another defined call category.
  • Unlimited voice-minute rewards are subject to a Fair Usage Policy during the stated validity period. Once the Fair Usage Policy limit is reached, further calls will be charged in accordance with the participant’s applicable price plan or deducted from another available voice bundle.
  • Unless expressly stated otherwise, voice rewards exclude international and roaming calls, premium-rated calls, conference and video calls, value-added service calls, call forwarding, directory enquiries, reverse-charge calls and other excluded call types.
  • Unused minutes expire at the end of the stated validity period and cannot be extended, carried over or refunded.

  • Unless expressly stated otherwise, vouchers are for once-off use, non-transferable, non-refundable and may not be exchanged for cash.
  • The full voucher value should be used in one transaction. Any unused balance may be forfeited unless the partner’s terms state otherwise.
  • A voucher must be redeemed before its expiry date. Vodacom cannot extend an expired voucher.
  • Where a reward is supplied or fulfilled by a third party, queries concerning fulfilment, products, services or redemption may need to be directed to that partner. Vodacom will provide reasonable assistance where appropriate.
  • A participant is responsible for safeguarding voucher codes. Vodacom and the partner will not be liable for a code used by another person after it has been disclosed by the participant.
