Good news that the promo is continuing.

@Melinda_H : Can you provide a statement here saying that changing the initial activation plan up and down between $35 and $70 will keep the recurring data?

It seems to me to make logical sense to allow changing plans within the price range of the promo.

Thank you.

Bad news is that it's continuing for new customers only.

And as someone with PM for less than 2 years that activated online, I thought I would be new enough to qualify as a "new customer"! 🤣

@softech amazingly I did! But yeah, there's something awesome about a 2-time, or 3-time bonus. Or better yet a perpetual-time bonus! 😉

Do you need 5gb of data or is it just FOMO? I love a deal.....but it's not a deal if you are paying more for something you don't really need its not really a deal is it?

Re: FLASH SALE: 2GB of monthly bonus data for free* | Dec 10 - 13

LeePublic — Fri, 10 Dec 2021 19:00:38 GMT

Here's the plan line up with the recurring 2 GB bonus data and the $2 auto pay discount.

@darlicious so right now I'm on the plan that provides 1 GB of data (with autopay) that with some conservation of data (not watching videos, surfing the net not too freely, etc.) that 1 GB is not enough, but with data packs like the 2 GB bonus from last year & a 1 GB pack I bought over a year ago, I can live with this.

If I move up to the $35 plan, I'll have 2.5 GB data & a lot more freedom to surf at will. But I'm not sure if that would be enough for me to feel like I have complete freedom. Of course, it's only another $5 to move up to the $40 plan & have 5 GB data per 30 days, & based on past vacations in other countries, I think that would be plenty enough for me.

I could of course experiment a bit & try a higher plan for say a month & then go back down. But I would probably do that only if I was taking a vacation, like a road trip within Canada.

So for now I've decided to stay with the lower-priced plan until I either see a deal that would likely make me upgrade, or something (in life) changes & I feel compelled to change my plan (up or down). A deal would likely lock me in for a long time since changing my plan out of a deal would mean losing the deal.

Hence why I keep saying that PM could make extra money off of me, but they don't seem interested in having more of my money by restricting these never-ending flash sales to new customers only.

@bluejaywpg

Surely you have seen my posts on maximizing the savings by stacking promotions likely before the end of the month being the best time of year to do this....and ordering an activation bundle this weekend from CCS to ensure sim delivery within a week from now.

Then hopefully the pm stars will align and you get yourself a data account that you suspend when not needed and reactivate when needed. Having a dual sim phone is ideal but any old working phone will work as a wifi hotspot. If you factor in the $30 bonus referral credit you can get yourselfba data aaccount with minimum 2gb to 7gb of add on data a month of 10.5gb of data, at least 3 further months of service and the possibility of keeping until the 4th annual "More is Merrier" campaign (we hope?!!) rolls around.

All for about a net cost of $15.....the same price as upgrading for one month to the $40/5gb plan.

@Anonymous Yes the bonus will stay on the account as long as they remain on an eligible plan.

@Melinda_H

As in the plan they activated on? Or any plan $35+? The terms and conditions state you cannot change your rate plan.

@darlicious I have seen your posts about that. Very intriguing idea. My problem is that my phone has only 1 sim card slot, plus my old backup phone is a power sucker. I'm lucky to get 4 hours out of it even if it's not being physically used.

And here I thought that I would never use a 2nd sim card slot if I had one LOL.
