How to be eligible for airtel extra credit

Like I said earlier, your airtel sim needs to qualify for an airtel extra credit and this mostly affects new airtel sims. If your airtel sim is not up to 2 months since you purchased and activated it, you won’t be able to borrow airtime from airtel.

This means that when you buy a new airtel sim, you need to use the sim for at least 2 months before you can be allowed to borrow from airtel extra credit. If you have used your airtel line for more than 2 months, also make sure your monthly airtel recharge is up to N200. That’s you must recharge not less than N200 in a month and if you always recharge your airtel line all the time, you’ll get more airtel extra credit offers.

This means that you’ll be eligible for more extra credit options to borrow from; you can borrow up to N200, N500 or even N1000 depending on your monthly recharge and you can borrow as many times as you want till you reach your limit and you won’t be able to borrow until you pay your outstanding airtime debt.

So without wasting further time let’s quickly see how you can borrow credit from airtel.

Code to borrow airtime from airtel

If you’re low on airtime and would like to borrow airtime from airtel extra credit there are basically 2 ways of doing that first dial

*500# with your airtel sim, select 2 (Borrow Credit), a list of credit options that you’re eligible to borrow will be displayed to you.

Alternatively you can borrow credit from airtel by dialing *500*airtime amount#. That’s to say if you want to borrow N100 just dial *500*100# and you’ll be credited instantly with N100 and so on.

Note: A service fee of 15% will be charged for any airtime that you borrow. This is basically means that if you borrow N100, you’ll be given N85, if you borrow N200 you’ll be given N170, borrow N1000 and you’ll be given N850, borrow N2000 and you’ll be given N1700 and so on.

This airtime can be used to make calls, text, subscribe etc. and it’ll be deducted immediately from your next recharge until you completely clear the debt. The airtel extra credit is really a good and welcome development that can help save you in urgent and emergency situations.
