Bonus referrals are great!

A bit of a different twist on the recent "extra $10 referral credit for both the new customer and the person making the referral". Now I wonder if there will there be a new customer promotion to go with this like the one that just expired?

<edit> Yes there is! 5Gb one time bonus data add-on that doesn't expire until completely used up for thenew customer. Nice!

Can anyone find an expiry date on this offer? All I can see is "for a limited time".

A lot of "TELUS" in the spoiler section of rules, more than I have seen before. I know that PM never tries to completely hide the TELUS connection but I haven't seen TELUS mentioned so much before. Maybe more was supposed to be switched to Public Mobile.

@Tiana_V - Can you clarify please? The details say to wait 72 hours from the time of "online activation" in bold, but earlier, refererence is made to "onlne or in-store".

Also, is this referral promotion stackable with other offers? (Specifically the 5GB offer that says can't be stacked with other offers: "This offer is not stackable.")

Editted the post for clarity: activation can be online or in-store. As for stackability, the Black Friday 5GB is stackable with this RAF offer, as stated in the post.

Thanks. Sorry, I did not see that. At https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/bc/plans/blackfriday , that part isn't mentioned within Offer Details.

I wonder if PM is trying to only do a "one use only" promos, they are certainly not very attractive to bring people in especially if it is black Friday week.

Is PM not willing to compete anymore or what?

darlicious — Mon, 25 Nov 2019 14:54:42 GMT

@Tiana_V Nice to see a promo and a referral credit promotion benefiting loyal pm customers. The inability to change your plan without losing the 5gb data bonus add on is a clever way of keeping customers at the plan they choose at activation. Hmmm who to target for the hard sell.....

versysrob — Mon, 25 Nov 2019 15:10:11 GMT

I am brand new to this. Upset that my Bell bill just increased to $70/month for 1 gig. I plan to join Public mobile this week to save money. I don't game or watch videos or tv on my phone. I have rarely run out of data on my 1 gig a month Bell plan, I used 200mgs last month as I just checked my bill!! So I plan to go with Public and get the 5 gigs of bonus data 'in the bank' so I don't run out of data. I think the $25 public mobile plan will be fine for me. I have Samsung S7.

Anyone have advise for me?

Re: For a limited time - Get an extra $20 Credit when you refer a friend to Public Mobile

AE_Collector — Mon, 25 Nov 2019 15:14:54 GMT

My advice is that If you used only 200 Mb last month, go with the $15 PM plan using the 5Gb of data to cover if you exceed the included 250Mb! You can change plans any time you want to.

You need to be on the $35 dollar plan to get the bonus 5GB.

From November 25 to December 2, customers that activate online or in-store will receive a one-time bonus 5GB of data. Simply activate before December 2, 2019 11:59PM ET, on a $35+/mo plan to claim this offer. This will be applied as an Add-On. This offer is available to new customers only and not stackable with any other promos (except for Refer-a-friend bonus).

GR — Mon, 25 Nov 2019 15:30:54 GMT

@versysrob if you're aiming for the 25$ plan then I would suggest get the 35$ plan to get the 5gb bonus data and then next month bring it back down to the 25$plan and the bonus data should stay on your account and be there incase you need it. Also don't forget a refferal code to get a 10$ credit on your new activation! Make sure you call bell first to unlock your phone but don't cancel your bell account if you want to keep your phone number, after you port your phone number to public mobile it will close your bell account automatically

@versysrob @LA21 @GR please note in the details of the 5gb data bonus add on is for plans $35+ and says the data add ons will expire if the rate plan is changed. Best to get clarification on this before advising to change plans after activation.

Where do you see that? I don't see that stipulated. The $35 yes but not the plan change.

AE_Collector — Mon, 25 Nov 2019 16:52:43 GMT

@darlicious

If so.... Good catch, that is a new wrinkle to the data add-ons. I would suspect this might be like the last promo where it will be clarified that you can change plans but if you drop below the $35 minimum plan cost the add-on will expire. Still even that seems a bit odd. If they want to force you to stay at or above $35 forcawikevtgey coukd hand these add-ons out 1Gb per month for the first 5 months if you stay at $35 or above.

In any event, now that PM has settled in on the $35 plan being the minimum for many of these promotions, it would be nice if they made it a more competitive plan with maybe 3Gb of data.

$25 = 1Gb

$30 = 2Gb

$35 = 3Gb

$40 = 5Gb

Just to make surre -- (1) the friend will receive $10 (2) the person refering will receive $20

OR when you say "extra $20" do you mean the friend will receive the regular $10 PLUSS the extra $20 ?
