What does 90-day Subscription mean?

Ck_PM — Wed, 24 May 2023 16:25:22 GMT

Hello Community,

We’ve been receiving some questions about our new 90-day subscriptions and we’re here to answer.

Your data allowance and billing are calculated over a 90-day cycle, not monthly. For instance, if your subscription plan is $65/month, you would pay $195 at the start of the 90-day cycle, compared to a 30-day subscription where you would pay $80/month. That’s $15/month in savings.

A 90-day subscription provides you with all your data upfront so you can better manage your data usage over a longer period, so if you use less data in one month, it's not lost – you can carry that usage over to the next month within the same 90-day cycle.

Why Choose a 90-day Subscription?

Flexibility: Purchase everything upfront and use however you want over 90 days
Savings: When compared to 3 months on a 30-day subscription

Here’s an example to illustrate:

	30-day Subscription	90-day Subscription
You pay	$80	$195
$/Month	$80	$65
Savings/Month	0	$15
Data Upfront	50GB	150GB
Pay Period	Every 30 days	Every 90 days

All the best,

The Public Mobile Team

How does 3x the data work though? On the $65/plan ($55 for 90 days), do you get 75gb of data for the 90 day period?

If on the old rewards system, are the rewards tripled for each 90 day subscription cycle? Ie if you got $10 off in rewards per 30 days, is $30 applied once every 90 days?

@DennyCrane

Poor wording. If you are on the rewards points system, you will get 3x back the reward points (ie. $3.25/month)

Yes, that is correct for past 90 days plans. You should be getting old rewards every 90 days, instead of monthly.

I'm talking about the notation in blue that says 3x the data.

@DennyCrane

You are correct. You will get 75 GB over 90 days.

Hey Everyone! Confirming that you can still access 90 day plans. It's just a few more clicks under your desired subscription plan.

@J_PM , @Ck_PM , need to ask

For those who are on the Old 90 Day Grandfathered Unlim Can-Wide-US-L-D, Unlim Global Text and 6 GB Data 4G LTE $150, Really wished that access to 5G could also be an Add-On as well, so, either a Flat fee for 30 or 90 Day, so to retain the Grandfathered Plans that also have the US-L-D as the New 90 Day lacks this currently

Sorry, I just want to make crystal clear that I understand before I click the button...

I have a $39/30 day plan that has $6 taken off of it with the old rewards system. So, if I subscribe to the 90-day plan, it is showing me $102/90-days ($39 - $5 * 3) but I should actually only be charged $84/90-Days ($39 - $5 - $6 * 3)?

Just want to make sure because if the $5 rebate for every 30 days negates the $6 that I am getting with the old rewards program it isn't worth it to me.

Thanks!

I want to change my plan to a 90 day sub.... but there seems to be no way to do that? The plan i select states that it has a 90 day sub version... but if i select it, it just takes me to my payment for a 1 month version and there seems to be no options to change that. How can i do a 90 day subscription?

I have the same issue. How do we change to the 90 day plan?

Re: What does 90-day Subscription mean?

JDBlue1966 — Sun, 31 Dec 2023 20:06:51 GMT

How do I change from pre paying monthly to 3 months?

It's July 2024 and I'm seeking clarity whether opting for 90-day subscription on select plans is still possible? If yes, what are the exact steps?

Logged into my account https://myaccount.publicmobile.ca/en/account/plan/change-plan > CHANGE SUBSCRIPTION and see a note "Choose the speed and subscription that's right for you. Save more with a 90-day subscription"

But none of all the plans presented have 90-day indicated underneath it? I'm so confused.

That means that there are no 90-day plans available in your account. 90-day versions of plans are only offered on some plans and only to some customers.
