@Catherine_T nice but why leave out the 15 dollar plan?

@Catherine_T

For customers who signed up for the boxing week promotion and have not activated yet by January 15, would they need to sign up the email address again for this promotion? Same promotion as the boxing day week.

@RossN The $15 plan is eligible for the free 2nd month. Just not for the free data. ~~Easy enough to sign up for the $25 plan, get the second month free and the 5 GB free data, then downgrade to the $15 plan.~~

Apparently this wont work as per the conditions. Apologies for misleading people.

"The 5GB one-time data bonus will be applied to rate plans of $25/month or more. Bonus data will expire if account becomes inactive or the rate plan is changed. Please note that the bonus data will be applied within 30 days of activation. This offer is subject to change without notice."

I wonder if it would have been easier and less confusing to have extended the previous "boxing week" promotion instead.

@Catherine_T

Thanks for the well timed promo the 5gb data add in takes the sting out of giving up the free gifts. I dont see anything about not being able change plans to keep the data add on ?

@Catherine_T

The e-mail registration link of https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/on/fs2020 provided in this announcement isn't working, but the old "boxing week" link on the homepage does work.

It would not hurt to make something like this an ongoing deal for an extended period of time. Problem is if deals last too long, there will be buyer fatigue and the deal loses it lustre. Customers are fickle.

I just noticed that myself when I went to sign up?

@Catherine_T Great news as always. Ah, I wish someday there was a similar promo for current users. Something like "successful payment on-time for 12 months in a raw? Get GM/mins/month free!". Wishes, wishes...😁

We already do. Two Decembers in a row with freebies for existing customers. Two summers ago a freebie. Last summer some freebies for some. The loyalty reward etc. And on the very odd occasion a promo plan that anybody can change to. But that's admittedly rare.

And the copy/paste strikes again. @Catherine_T : It's not 30 business days. That would make it impossible to enjoy the credit for the first renewal.

Great news, I will spread this news to my friends that have been sitting on the fence.

@Anonymous maybe PM considers it 30 'business' days because every day for them is a business day?

Still, I do see your point - may be misleading for the Mon-Fri working crowd.

MK5 — Wed, 06 Jan 2021 19:14:03 GMT

so, is that two months (first and second) free? When I activated my line on December 30, I was told first month is free. I enrolled for autopay and I have been charged $25 for that plan and that doesn’t show in the balance. Please let me know if that will be adjusted in the following months?

Sorry, but the first 30 days will be full price. You'll only receive one free 30-day plan. Your activation was from a previous promotion, but you'll receive any credits that you're eligible for within 30 days of activation.

But my account shows next payment will be on January 29 from my auto pay.

Lucashart09 — Wed, 06 Jan 2021 19:37:47 GMT

I activated and did not receive the additional 5gb of data.
