@J_PM Sounds like a good deal, but is there anyway to highlight which phones are actually 80% cheaper than the original price?

The prices haven't changed. The only thing that is being done here is a $30 credit. The up to 80% discount would be compared to the original suggested retail price from when each model was originally released when the pricing was at its highest. Unfortunately, the prices of these devices aren't all that competitive.

I also received the same email from PM. It is stated with a slight difference:

At Public Mobile, you can get a newer phone and a lower price tag – up to 80% lower than original retail price. Plus, from now until October 26th, get additional savings up to $135.

Take advantage of limited time deals on some of our most popular devices. When you upgrade to a Certified Pre‑Owned phone, we’ll take $5 off your bill for 6 months1. Here’s how it works:

1. Use the same email address to purchase a Public Mobile Certified Pre-Owned phone by October 26th.2

2. Get $5 off your bill for the next 6 months.

However, I didn't notice any price difference on the phones before and after the date stated.

@Hanic Yes, I've received that email too mentioning "additional $135 savings" and think it's misleading.

hTideGnow — Thu, 13 Oct 2022 19:39:13 GMT

and it is now $5 for 6 months, I think it used to be a one time $30 credit. Now, it ties you in the 6 months to take full advantage

I'm trying to buy a phone and it won't let me log in when I go to the checkout, says email or password is not valid. It also doesn't apply the $135 credit at checkout. How is this supposed to work? Or is this just another scam?

@JeffBaird $135 credit? Where do you see that? You can checkout as a guest. Your My Account login won't work. That's a seperate login.

@J_PM where is this 80% discount?... You have an iPhone 11 in "Very Good" condition for $519....yet on your 2nd tier provider (Koodo) very good is $450 lol.....

Great discounts from PM as always 🙄

It's right in this email I got on Wednesday...

I have tried checking out with my account but not getting any discount. You might have an account when you started using PM. Try "forgot your username or password" and reset your password that they send to your email. Let us know if you will get any discount when you check out with your account 🙂

The Self Serve account and the shopping account aren't related to each other. There is no immediate credit for this offer. The $30 in credit will be issued in $5 increments starting within a month of October 26. As for the up to $135 in discounts, I'm confused because I don't see any price reductions.

To clarify, it's up to 80% - and depend on the device 📱

Thank you!

Care to list at least ONE device on PM that is "up to 80% off"?...

There are some phones that PM has listed where it's more for a used phone as opposed to buying brand new from other places. Such as the Galaxy A13...

I'd say the only phone that was of value of up to 80% off is when your team accidentally listed the S20FE 5g for $199 but quickly changed it to $399.
