@GinYVR, those are the conditions provided by Royal Bank correct?

If so, I would say that they don't really apply. Public Mobile is the entity offering the discount and data bonus, so I would consider the terms as advertised by Public Mobile to take prescedence. The Public Mobile advertising makes no mention of the requirement to use a RBC card for payment. I'm not even really sure that the activation/self-serve/billing system would be able to tell the difference anyway.

https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/on/plans/RBC-offer only says the terms to be:

Step 1: Choose your plan here
Step 2: Order your SIM online

Step 3: Activate online here and enter promo code RBCREWARDS

Disclaimer:
Effective July 2 2019 until September 30, 2019 at 11:59PM ET. Offer available to new customers who activate online using the promo code.

¹ $10 off for 6 months and 5GB one-time data bonus will be applied to eligible Ready-made rate plans of $40/month or greater. Bonus data remains on account until fully used but will expire if account becomes inactive or the rate plan is changed. Discount will expire if account becomes inactive or the rate plan is changed.

Please note it may take up to 7 business days for the discount to be applied. This offer is subject to change without notice."

@computergeek541 As with anything in the grey area.. we just need someone brave enough to try! They can probably differentiate using the first few digits of the card number since they are the issuer's identifier.

I would agree that given how the plan is advertised here, customers would have a claim to the deal based on the conditions as specified here. I am not a RBC customer and so I would only see what's here. I would never think of looking elsewhere for different information. What's here goes.

Can rbc customers use that promotion on top of the pm $10 off $50 promotion?

As I use an RBC card, this offer seemed interesting enough for me to transfer 2 of my phone numbers to Public. So, I signed up at London Drugs store last Saturday. Apparently, I made a grave mistake and the offer is not valid if you sign up in store - that's what Mods tell me.

What's the point of trying to attract new customers, then?

Looks like, my community status will soon turn to "Bye Public".

As to whether the moderators could make an exception for you, I can't speak for them. However, the online activation requirement is in the advertising and also in the first page of this message thread.

You might be confusing with a previous promo. There was a promo that ended on Aug 21 for $10 off the $50 plan.

This thread is about the RBC promo where you get $10 off any plan >= $40 and a bonus data add-on when activating as a "new" customer.

For the RBC REWARDS Promo would I be able to

port in a number from another carrier or does

it have to be a new number?

GinYVR — Mon, 26 Aug 2019 22:00:26 GMT

@tokenit willl work as long as you activate online (basically you can't take advantage of free SIM at the store).

Re: FYI: Until Sept 30: RBC customers $10 off for $40+ plans for 6 months + 5GB 1time Bonus

GR — Mon, 26 Aug 2019 22:11:38 GMT

@token also when you activate pick a new number and then after the activation is done and you confirm the Sim card works then go back in and port your old number! I have a friend that activated online last night on the RBC plan and did it this way and had no problem at all. Within an hour the activation was done and the phone number was ported and working.

I have been enjoying my public mobile for a while and have suggested my kids sign up too now that one is off to University and the other one to college

the problem is, I told them I pay only 20$ a month (+tax) but I don’t find that plan on your site anymore

can you please help? They are looking for something cheap: unlimited talk. I think they will go look for another provider if I tell them I don’t find that deal anymore 😞
