I’m a little slow at times in thinking, please be patient with me. So as long as they submit their email address ahead of time to confirm any time from April 21 - 26 at 11:59PM EST it saves it for them as long as they activate their sim by May 7th? That would definitely give plenty of time to receive the sim card by mail if they don’t do it through a retailer! 😃 Thank-you!

60 days! Well that's a twist. At least it says just days, not business days. I guess this is to hold people for a little longer before they get their credit. Sneaky.

Had to read the whole thing again more carefully to figure out what you are talking about! Yes another potential full month of “I didn’t get my First (or my second) month free! I am thinking of switching to Rogers”

4- Eligible customers will be credited the 30-day rate plan amount. The credit will be applied towards your third month of service, within 60 days of activation.

Well for someone that just activated as a new customer last night at 9pm with no notice of this promo, big thumbs down.

@Kandit : Welcome to Public Mobile. There's never a warning of a coming promo.

Edit: If you're in BC and the welcome email is timestamped after 9pm PT then an argument could be made that you got in on the 21st.

If you used a referral code during activation then you should receive the $10 credit within 3 days but usually overnight.

Interesting new twist to give the free renewal on the third cycle instead of the second. Good way to enforce a little bit of short term loyalty. @J_PM , I suggest using wording like plan cycle or equivalent instead of month since the renewals are at 30 day frequency and not monthly.

Disappointing maybe but how would they have notified you ahead of time? After doing your research of Public Mobile before signing up I am surprised that you didn’t notice that there are new customer promotions quite regularly. It is always best to hold off and wait for one unless a one time promotion isn't really a big deal in the scheme of things which can easily be the case if you are switching from a high cost provider.

Promotions are an EXCELLENT opportunity to sign up referrals so rather than giving promotions the thumbs down it is time to get to work at making your service from Public Mobile free (with referrals, loyalty etc) like mine.

@Anonymous "if you used a referral......."

Is that like hanging out a shingle that says " Gone Phishing" ? Wasn't Jb45 a phisherman too? lol 😆

@walker1 : One never knows, do one. It's against policy to throw one at customers unsolicited. I suspect it happens all the time and poor new customers get deluged with codes. I can't say as I've ever got a request for one after this method of planting the seed. But y'never know. I would not call it phishing.

@J_PM, I echo @will13am suggestion on the wording. We have been asking for a couple of years now that when this type of promo is used that the correct terminology gets used. There is already enough confusion with customers between a month and 30-day plans. People think they have the same renewal date each month and with the wording of a free month, I would as well. Please consider changing the terminology used to cycle or 30-days (as suggested above)

It was the subject line that grabbed my eye. Then the "new" PM employee. Why wouldn't they have said "Get third month free" like all their prior promos that said "Get second month free". But yes...month, term, 30 days.

Maybe these things should say "Get your first plan cost back in 60 days". Or 30.

@Kandit

If you did activate in bc then register your email and cross your fingers and hope for the best. Alternatively if you didn't port a phone number in you can still take advantage of this offer.

Nice to see another promo!

I skimmed through the post and saw "60 days" then "second renewal" right after and got confused lol. It made sense after rereading it slowly though...

Anyone planning on stacking this offer with the CCS bundle offer has until April 24th to complete their order. Shipping averages 5 business days with Canada post. To maximize your savings activating on the $50 plan and downgrading to your preferred plan for the second month ( before your first renewal) will conform to the terms and conditions.
