Three UK Closes Down Wuntu Rewards App Because They Wuntu

Customers of mobile operator Three UK have this week noticed that they can no longer sign-up to use the company’s exclusive Wuntu rewards app, which instead warns those who try that the service is set to close on 15th December 2019. Admittedly many of its users claim that it had recently become a bit.. naff.

According to the promotional material, “Wuntu gives you offers and perks, just for being with Three. From money off local restaurants to special weekly treats, there’s a lot to love. Plus, if you’re a Pay As You Go customer, you can now unlock rewards when you buy Add-ons. Open wuntu to opt in to Pay As You Go Rewards and start earning points.”

When Wuntu first launched it did feature some attractive offers, discounts and freebies, although over the past few months those freebies seem to have largely evaporated and the discounts are no longer much different from those you could easily pull out of any old magazine, voucher code website or newspaper. Wuntu felt as if it had been abandoned and now it has been.

A Three UK Spokesperson told ISPreview.co.uk:

“Following a review of our customer loyalty programme, we will be closing the wuntu app on the 16th of December. Loyalty is hugely important to us and our customers and we will announce a new scheme to reward our customers in the new year.”

The app itself says this: “There’s still time to enjoy all the latest deals and to use your redeemed offers. Thanks for being with us on this journey – we’re working hard to find even better ways to reward our customers.” We await to see what those “better ways to reward” are.
