Rewards vs points

Sonya57 — Sat, 05 Nov 2022 00:38:33 GMT

So I just posted a question about having trouble accessing my rewards. Weird but all of a sudden I was able to access. My next question is do I stick with rewards or change to points. Opinions?

Thanks

@Sonya57 this is a simple question everyone in the community agree:

STAY on the OLD rewards system

here is a comparison between old and new system and you will see why:

$2 Autopay is no longer there and replaced with 5% , you get less UNLESS you have the $40 plan or above
(but you get 5% for your other Add-on purchases as well)
No more loyalty rewards, meaning the loyalty discount of $1/month up to $5/month will disappear. Instead, they will only give $10 each year on the anniversary.

For someone with PM between 1st to 12th month
The old reward system will give $0 that year, versus $10 at the end of the 12th month with thew new system
For someone with PM between the 13th and 24th month:
The old reward program will give $12 that year ($1/cycle), versus $10 at the end of the 24th month with the new system
For someone with PM between months 25th and 36th:
the old reward program will give $24 that year ($2/cycle), versus $10 at the end of the 36th month with the new system
.........................
for someone with PM between months 61 and 72 (and every year after that after that point)
the old reward program will give $60/year ($5/cycle) versus $10/year under the new system
You can no longer apply $1 or $2 you got to the bill right a way, you have to collect enough to 15 points to cash out $15 in one shot
Also, you have to remember to convert your points to dollars once it reaches 15 points. PM no longer automatic apply the reward discount.

On the other hand, the goodies for new system,

- 5% Points back for add-on purchases as well

- add-ons are around 33% cheaper when you redeem with Public Points
- you can use 1 point for lucky draw, so, technically you bet $1 and can win an iPhone

Thanks for the info. I think I’ll stay on the rewards program. 🙂

@Sonya57

Stay with the old Rewards system because you will get instant monthly credit rewards to your monthly bill.

On the new Points system, you need to collect up to 15 points before your can redeem it for a $15 credit.
