Subscription Question

KatieF — Thu, 01 Jun 2023 23:05:34 GMT

Hi all,

I have a question about my subscription. I believe it's grandfathered but not sure. Currently I have:

$105/90 days
1.5GB @ 3G speed/90 days
Unlimited canada-wide talk/text
Unlimited international text

I was checking plans out of the blue today (when for the first time I ran out of data) and found this one:

$39/month (no option for 90 days I see)
20GB @ 4G speed
Same as above can/intl

So for $4/month more than what I currently pay, I'd be getting 18.5GB extra data. I think the answer is 'duh" but I want to make sure I won't lose any of the perks I currently have? I get quite a lot taken off each month for loyalty/auto-pay.

Is this package only for a short time then the price goes up? Will I lose my perks?

Thank you 🙂

@KatieF don’t ever switch to the new points rewards there not nearly as lucrative as your old rewards system

@Brilliance Your absolutely rights there are pros and cons … and infact if you ask @softech nicely enough he’s has a excellent brake down of the two systems

@Brilliance @Handy1

in summary

$2 Autopay is no longer there and replaced with 5% , you get less (but you get 5% for your other Add-on purchases as well)
No more Loyalty reward, so no more $1/month up to $5/month. Instead, they only give $10 every year on the anniversary.
So, for someone with PM between 13th to 24th months:
old reward program will get $12 on that year compare with $10 on the new system
So, for someone with PM between 25th to 36th months:
old reward program will get $24 on that year compare with $10 on the new system
.........................
for someone with PM between 61th and 72th month (and same after this point)
old reward program will get $60/year compare with $10/year on 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

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

@Brilliance There no expiry date on the promo plans … so get them while you can

@Brilliance Next time you see a plan that tickles your fancy … just schedule plan change for next renewal … screen shot it … so if it is gone and auto pay fails … you have proof for support
