Any recommendations about this approach or any alternate approaches?

Hi,

For controlling the benefit duration, I would consider, in that order:

1. use product Terms as you suggested

2. Add new attribute via @schemaLocation: applicationDuration on the ProductOffering resource.

This attribute already exists under PriceAlteration and its behaviour (alter the normal price for a set duration) is exactly what you're doing here: you alter the normal data allowance for a set duration. I have used this approach for a long time.

    " applicationDuration": {
      "amount": 3,
      "units": "month"
    }

3. Use a policy to support your scenario.

for product modelling, I would consider, in that order:

1. Model the 5GB benefit as an atomic product offer (same prodSpec as the baseline data PO)
   1. bundle it or use a relationship or use a promotion to sell them together for the duration of the "Easter campaign".

I would NOT consider use a single data product with 2 characteristics:

1.  normal allowance and bonus allowance. One overrides the other

Any recommendations about this approach or any alternate approaches?

Thank you for the response, Matthieu. You're an invaluable contributor in these forums.
