For more than a year now, there are some mtn data plans that also come with a youtube night bonus. This bonus allows subscribers to stream any youtube video(s) of their choice.

Other than when (time) does the youtube night start, another one of the most asked questions about this plan is; how can I use the youtube night bonus or the bonus is not working. Well, these questions and more are what I will be answering in this write-up.

When Does MTN YouTube Night Start?

MTN YouTube night starts at 11 PM in the evening and ends at 6 AM in the morning. If you stream youtube videos outside this time range, your main data will be deducted and if you do not have any data other than the bonus, you simply won’t have access to youtube at all. You can access the video platform with both the app and browser using the bonus.

So, when people say my YouTube night is not working or my data was deducted, it simply means you try to use it or used it outside 11 PM to 6 AM.

One more thing that I think is worth mentioning is that the bonus has the same expiry date as the data plan itself. Also, this is different from mtn night data plan even though they start and end at the same time, they offer different benefits.

Now, let us talk about the data plans that are eligible for this night bonus as well as how you can buy them using both code and/or SMS.

Final Thought

As you must have noticed, the weekly plans have the exact same amount of data volume of main data as the youtube night bonus while the monthly bundles have a uniform night bonus of 4GB to access youtube at night.

I am not sure how long this bonus is going to last but I think you should take advantage of it while it lasts.

There are a lot of tutorials for different kinds of digital skills that you can learn for free on YouTube. Don’t just go there to stream movies and music only.

This is not me trying to tell you what to do with your data, I am just telling you that there are other things you can use the platform for.

Finally, you should know that this is different from mtn time-based youtube plan. I will be dedicating a full write-up to that, expect it very soon.
