@Alan_K

Great promo.

It is time to have a $25 refer-a-friend promo next week after PM backend seem to be working properly.

is the 5gb bonus for one month or doesn't expire until runs out? just curious.

And agree that it is the time to have the 25 dollar referral.

The wording specifically says add-on so I would think it means it runs out like any add-on.

lindalee — Fri, 24 May 2019 22:04:25 GMT

So say if I change my plan next bill cycle, the 5GB add-on will still be there until it runs out?

@lindalee Yes, add-ons do not have an expiry date.

@lindalee this is only for new activations not existing customer/ plan changes.

@liuxinbingin past promotions the bonus 1 time data is there utill it is used up (ie you went over your monthly data limit)

edit, @lindalee (misread you question), yes as long as you meet the requirements of the promo you get the addon, ~~after you get it you can futuredate to thq $10 or $15 plan and you keep the addon.~~ see posts below

Bonus data will expire if account becomes inactive or the rate plan is changed.

You can find it here under "offer details".

Good point! So unable to change to a lower price plan and retain the add-on...too bad:(

@Alireja good catch. usually there is a spoiler with additional details, we haev never had to go to the plan to see teh fine print.

@Alan_K maybe you want to add the fine print to the announcement.

I will be curious to see if the system can handle removing the addon, for suspended or changed plans.

It's not unlike the other promo where you had to keep a >=$30 plan to keep getting the $10 credit. This should be the same as that. Change to any plan if you like as long as it's >=$25. But no. It says change plan period. That should be clarified.

Odd that the $0 SIM excludes the new PM Kiosk locations. You'd think that would be an opportunity to promote them.

~~Also, are these offers still eligible for the $10 referal bonus? Do not see that mentioned anywhere.~~

Nevermind -- I just noticed the link to the More Ways to Save which includes the referral credit.

Wrong. Read the offer details

"5GB one-time data bonus will be applied to eligible Ready-made rate plans of $25/month or more. Bonus data will expire if account becomes inactive or the rate plan is changed."

Although it is not stated at OP, read the offer details too.

Just to confirm. Is the 5 GB one time use. Or recurring 5 Gb each month with the purchase plan?

Re: FLASH SALE! Activate any $25+/mo plan and get a bonus 5 GB of data + get a SIM for $0

geopublic — Sat, 25 May 2019 00:25:18 GMT

It appears to be a one time add-on that is associated with your plan.
