Balance - why not the earliest balance is used up first?

I top up every month with 20€ and use my balance to purchase apps, etc… 

3 is not deducting the amount from the oldest balance, but from the newest ones - so if I have money built up, they just simply remove 20€ from my account…

i suspect this is not a bug but an intentional terrible practice, but stand to be corrected Dear Three customer service team.
Does everyone else have this experience?

@Beab Hi there & welcome to the 3Community. I've checked with our prepay team to confirm which top-up is used first when you purchase an app & they have advised that your oldest top-up is used first. Do you have examples of when you purchased something & it was taken from your newest top-up? 

 

If you have examples can I get you to PM me them along with your number, full name, address, & date of birth for the validation of your account?
