$25 Credit Frustration - Someone Please help or tell me where I'm wrong

ranmercer — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 10:14:57 GMT

Dear Moderator Team @CS_Agent or ANYONE that can tell me where I am wrong, please help - I wil be forever grateful and provide bravos for all that can help!

Please assist with this request - please have someone other than Abdallah respond as I don't think he understands my situation.

Please refer to the $25 Referal promo at https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Announcements/Get-a-25-Credit-for-You-and-Your-Friend-by-Referring-them-to/m-p/256239.

Relevant promo details: "From July 26th until August 8th, 2018, you and your friend can each get a $25 credit when you refer them to Public Mobile and they activate online......[and]....you receive a one-time $25 credit for each friend you refer and who activates online during the promotional period." I have posted in the community and several members have confirmed that I should be getting the following total credits - breakdown below:

1. On July 26th, I was referred by my brother (phone number 647-763-xxxx) and I self-activated my SIM online = $25 Credit - is this correct?

2. On July 27th, I referred TWO family members (phone numbers: 647-290-xxxx and 647-708-xxxx) who self-activated online at home (I activated their SIMs online at home for them) = 2 referrals x $25 per referral = $50 - is this correct?

3. On July 26th, I registered for Autopay upon self-activation of my SIM at home = $2 credit for month 1 and $2 credit for month 2 = $4 credit that is applied to month 2 - is this correct?

4. Because I have referred 2 people (on July 27th), I will get a $1 credit per person x 2 persons, as long as they are with PM = $2 credit per month - is this correct?

Based on the above, if all the credits are correct based on the offers that PM currently has in place, my total credits for month 2 should be $81, however, my account shows only $52 credit.

If any of my assumptions above are incorrect, please let me know where and why. I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you.

Some of this is right, some not. In your account balance, you should see a total of $77 - $25 for when you activated with a referral, and then another $50 for the two people you referred who signed up online. You should also have a $2 credit from signing up for autopay, that's for month 1 and it's sitting there ready to use for your next renewal.

Then, under Rewards, you should see an anticipated additional $4 in rewards coming up - $2 for autopay for your second month when you renew, and $2 for the two referrals.

Hi @ranmercer, Regarding the $25 credits, it looks mostly correct. However, in your first point you say you were refered by your brother, and activated on-line. In point 3 you say you put auto-pay during self activation. You can't activate the same account twice. Do you mean you added auto-pay to your account?

Either way, you should have $75 from referral bonuses. For monthly referrals, you should get 2x$1 each time you renew and those two people are still active PM clients.

Your auto-pay bonus will only kick-in at the next reneway (and onwards). There is no auto-pay reward for month one if you add auto-pay after activation. It only starts on the next renewal.

Note that ongoing referral rewards ($1) never show up as available credit, they just kick in during renewal. Same for auto-pay.

I beleive your math is basically right, but the amounts might not show up as you expect. However, given that you have received at least 2x25, you should have another 25 comming your way.

To help troubleshoot - do you see your referrals' phone numbers in the "My Rewards" section? They should both be there (click on "My Rewards" from the main My Account page, then you have to click the little arrow to expand that "Total Rewards earned" section - I always have to click it twice for some reason).

Also, can your brother check to see that your number appears in his My Rewards section? And did he receive the $25 from referring you?

That info might help narrow down where your missing $25 is...

Okay, so just to make sure I understand, you think that my total available funds should be $77? Is that correct?

Please see below for "Balance" vs "Available Funds" which are the same at $52 and the balance in "Rewards" which is also $52.

My account balance at the top right of my screen says "Balance: $52.00" which matches my "Available Funds: $52" when I first log into my account.

When I click on "My rewards", it lists the following:

Total Rewards earned ($4)

AutoPay Reward ($2)

Refer-a-Friend Reward ($2)

1647-290-xxxx

1647-708-xxxx

Community Reward $0

Available funds in your account($52)

As of today your estimated payment is: $0

I think the way he ordered it made it confusing - but number 1 and number 3 were both on the same day, so I think he did both add his referral and sign up for autopay while signing up.

Yep, that all makes sense - all that's missing is one of your $25 credits, which should appear in Available funds in your account/Balance: - bringing that total to $77.

The questions is WHEN? It has been well over 72 hours and this moderator named abdallah seems very confused and can't understand my request for an account adjustment. He's the only guy responded when I private message the Moderator Team. I need some other mod to help - what do you suggest?

Re: $25 Credit Frustration - Someone Please help or tell me where I'm wrong

MoreYummy — Wed, 01 Aug 2018 22:23:57 GMT

To keep it simple, the smaller amount $1/30 days is used on your next renewal of plan.

Those bigger amount are one time will be shown once on your available fund.

Also sometimes there is little delay for them to show up.

What you copied from your account shows the two people you have referred under referrals, which makes me think that's the $50 you already have. My guess is that your brother's referral of you didn't go through - and you need a mod to go in and put him as the person who referred you.

When Abdallah helped me, he got it mixed up who was referring who, and gave me a similar answer of "you can only get this once" - he *might* be trying to put you in as your brother's referrer, which wouldn't work because your brother probably already has a referrer on his account and you can only do that once. Might need to make clear that it's he who referred you.

@ranmercer, Something very important I forgot to mention in my first post... You should remove all personal information from your post (the phone numbers), and ask everyone who quoted your original message to do the same. This forum is puclic and anyone can see that information.

Shouldn't be more than 72 hours - can your brother check that you show up in his list of referred people? Could help troubleshoot - my guess is the referral didn't go through for some reason and you aren't on his list.

From what I've observed in the recent past...it doesn't look like anyone's particularly concerned about phone numbers. Personally identifying information on the other hand...
