Basically, top-ups are available in the "electronic form" only i.e. from terminals/ATMs/online.
Scratch cards are available in the nominal of PLN 30 only.
These "regular" top-ups are added to the main credit "Pakiet z?otówek" ("Packet of zlotys")

Premia

Premia - bonus for large top-ups to be used for national services (national calls/SMS/MMS/data, premium rate services excluded).

Top up amount/Bonus
PLN 50-69/PLN 20
PLN 70-99/PLN 30
PLN 100-149/PLN 50
PLN 150-300/PLN 150

These top-ups are added to the "Premia" subcredit. Each "Premia" top-up is valid for 30 days only. In order not to lose unused "Premia" subcredit before it expires, another "Premia" rewarded top-up (i.e. PLN 50 minimum) must be done within those 30 days. In such case, "Premia" zlotys adds up and the new expiration date is 30 days after the top-up.

Zbieraj minuty = Collect minutes

Each full two minutes of any incoming call (originating from any national or foreign operator, but not in roaming) are "exchanged" to one minute of an outgoing national call. Each reward is valid 30 days since the incoming call. "Zbieraj minuty" is in fact another subcredit, but denominated in minutes not in zlotys.

The sequence of usage of the main credit and subcredits (where applicable):
1. "Zbieraj minuty" subcredit
2. "Premia" subcredit
3. "Pakiet z?otówek" main credit

Warning - all credits are irrevocably lost on the day on the day when the "Pakiet z?otówek" main credit expires for outgoing calls!
