Validity ranges from main balance to bonus: 30 – 330 days

Data (GB) and Minutes BONUS will be valid for 30 days, counted from the date when your top-up arrives to your relative in Cuba. But hey, please consider that the main balance is more generous: 330 days.

More about the BONUS:

Some old good stuff stay the same. Someone can receive several recharges in the promotional period, of course.

Some Cubacel credit can be transferred, some cannot

Once your top-up gets to Cuba, the beneficiary can transfer the main balance to the husband, niece, daughter or son, neighbor, and so on. But the bonus cannot go to another cell line; it is only for the consumption of the line that was recharged.

If your family still has some BONUS balance from previous promos, whether data or minutes, that’s cool! Because if they also get the bonus of the recent Cubacel promotion in May that will add up to the active bonuses already in use.  Makes sense?

What about Cubans using a combined plan (national + international), a Voice plan, or an LTE package?
Say they receive the recent Cubacel promotion bonus from abroad. The expiration date will be extended to 30 days, counted from the moment the recharge arrives (Cuba time).
But, Cubans who have SMS plans or Combos do not benefit from the validity date extension.

What to do? Multiple Cubacel recargas of course. And in this case the last of these top-ups will be the reference for the 30-day validity count.

The second notification your Cuban fellows get is about the status of the main balance and the activation of the bonuses. That’s not your duty, it’s on Cubacel.

Thirdly, your relative in Cuba receives a time threshold SMS saying there are a few days left for the deadline to be fulfilled, bond expiration date.
