$35 for 75 GB plan - can I get this?

Ventura — Tue, 31 Dec 2024 03:46:47 GMT

Will this work to get the $35 75GB plan?

Currently on the $40 plan.

My renewal date is Dec 31.

Can I do a plan renewal change to the $30 plan. Therefore tomorrow I will be on the $30 plan and should be able to see the $35 plan as a possible choice to change to. I can then choose that to renew on my next renewal date.

hi @Ventura

yes, the idea works. I think the $35 plan will still be there at least for couple more days after new year

@Ventura it's cutting kinda close.

@Ventura , personally I wouldn’t wait until tomorrow to switch to the $30 plan. I would do it now. Then you may be able to see the $35 plan to select for change to on next renewal. Otherwise it’s a risk to wait until tomorrow for the $35 plan may be gone in a few hours or sooner which has been known to happen often!

@LitlLdy

Only reason I am hesitant to do an immediate change is I would lose a bunch of referral points. All good advice from everyone here. Now I really don't know what to do.

You will not loose any points. Just 1 days money, which in my opinion is ok, considering what your end goal is. More than likely the plan will still be there but no guarantee.

@TheSterlinger

I thought you lost all your upcoming referral points if you did an immediate plan change. Can anyone confirm that if I did an immediate plan change right now I would still get my referral points owed to me tomorrow?

TheSterlinger — Tue, 31 Dec 2024 04:33:15 GMT

Are you talking about your friends? The only time you loose those is if they leave PM. If you change your plan now or on Renewal those will still be given to you.

@TheSterlinger

I do not mean losing friends. I am talking about each point I earn from them on my renewal date. If I do an immediate plan change I will not get a point from each friend I referred because I did not wait for my renewal date.

Re: $35 for 75 GB plan - can I get this?

TheSterlinger — Tue, 31 Dec 2024 04:40:23 GMT

@Ventura yes same thing! But no, I have never heard of anyone loosing on Change now as you have indicated. You will still get your full referral points.

Re: $35 for 75 GB plan - can I get this?

@Ventura , if your renewal day is tomorrow (less than 25 minutes from now Public Mobile time zone) then you’re current $40 subscription will renew very soon. Waiting to change to the $30 plan tomorrow will be too late due to you will be charged for the $40 plan renewal & immediate plan change to the $30 plan right after that! There are no prorated refunds. You will get charged full amount for both! Part of the reason I said change now to the $30 plan before your charged for the renewal of your $40 plan.

@Ventura , I have never lost any of my referrals points when changing my plan early. I still receive them. Even when I put my account on hold for a few days.

Also, part of the reason in my first message why I said cutting it kinda close!

@TheSterlinger @TheSterlinger @hTideGnow

Okay... thank you for all your help. As I said before I was hesitant to make the change because I did not want to lose my referral points I earned , but after you told me I would not and would still receive them tomorrow I did an immediate plan change to the $30 plan and then was able to choose the $35 plan for my next renewal date.

@Ventura , that’s great. I was panicking for you, I didn't want you to get charged for the renewal of your current $40 subscription if you waited a few more minutes into the 31st. 😊 I am happy that it worked out for you & you did right by asking questions 1st. It’s how we all learn from one another. Been there done that. Thank you for letting us know.

@LitlLdy @TheSterlinger @hTideGnow

Below is what I was worried about changing immediately. It says points are given every 30 days from your renewal date. By doing an immediate plan change today my next renewal date is Jan. 29. My renewal date that was originally tomorrow is no longer valid. Will I still get my points tomorrow? If yes, then will I get my next referral points on January 29th?

Re: $35 for 75 GB plan - can I get this?

LitlLdy — Tue, 31 Dec 2024 05:19:19 GMT

@Ventura , yes you will still get your referral points tomorrow. That’s how it always works for me when I change early or pay late! Your plan will renew in 30 days like it does plus you will receive your referral points after that. The plans aren’t monthly at Public Mobile so it won’t always be on the same date every month.

Re: $35 for 75 GB plan - can I get this?

Ventura — Tue, 31 Dec 2024 05:28:28 GMT

@LitlLdy

If my next renewal date is January 29th will I receive my referral points on January 29th the same day as my renewal too or will I receive my referral points on January 30th? I have never done an immediate plan change before or suspended my account so I always received my referral points on my renewal date. Are you saying that the renewal date and the date for receiving referral points can be different. Before the points system, in the old referral credit system if you did an immediate plan change you forfeited your referral credits. You had to wait until your next renewal date to receive them so you were always in sync.

Re: $35 for 75 GB plan - can I get this?

TheSterlinger — Tue, 31 Dec 2024 05:48:11 GMT

@Ventura you should still get your referral points tomorrow ( for December) and on your next renewal date for the next 30 days, ( for January) which is January 29. Your good 👍 !

Ventura — Tue, 31 Dec 2024 22:30:42 GMT

@TheSterlinger

This is why I am confused....I renewed today so I have a new renewal date. If I get my points tomorrow which is December 31st how am I eligible for points on January 29th my renewal date too which is less than 30 days? I am out one day by changing plans immediately.
