  Back in my (born 1996) days, the longer you were a customer the sweeter deals you had. 8 years already a customer? Maybe we can strike a cheaper offer rather than you running to someone else.

    I might be older than your dad and I don’t recall seeing an offer like this. 😊

      Used to be the norm here in Czechia, maybe your country wasn’t as progressive 🤔

        Well, I think many people on lemmy don’t live in country that once was one of 15-states multinational conglomerate for universal healthcare, universal education, universal housing and long term planning. Not that such planning was very good at the end of it. Or not that it wasn’t occasionallly sidetracked with killing people.

    I’m in Australia and we still do this? I have a loyalty discount for being a customer for 7 years, AU$57/month for unlimited data on my mobile and free calls to 40 countries ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      They got rid of it here, sadly. Or at least i haven’t seen any loyalty behavior from the big brands lately.
