Nothing stopping you from buying a SIM and activating using your current referral code and grabbing all the promos.

Otherwise, these offers are rarely for existing customers. How many other providers do that anyway.

I did that a year and a half ago and am still working down that initial 5gb pot of data what with all the freebies given two summers, last Xmas, this summer, this Xmas.

@Anonymous  - The only problem with that approach is the phone number.  Unless something has changed recently, I don't think you can't port your number from one PM account TO another PM account.

A few others and I noticed a similar issue not long ago with the Plans page. If you scrolled down, the rest of the content would be there. For me, I what I did was just kept refreshing the page until it looaded properly.

You might be out of luck.  Did you sign up your email address before activation?  If not, you do not meet the criteria. System is finicky at times.  You could try to sign up your email address now and see what happens in the next 30 days.  Or you could try to contact moderator to see what they can do for you.  Click on chat bubble on right lower corner of website and type: contact moderator and follow prompts to submit ticket.

Don't forget to purchase your free holiday add ons.  2 GB data and 500 long distance minutes.

If you preregistered your email address for this promotion and then activated your plan(s), the credit will be in your soon if not already. If you activated without checking the web site or here in the community for promotions first you most likely missed out. But check your account for the amount of available funds you have which depends on whether you used a referral code and whether you signed up for Autopay.

Be certain that you have picked up your two Christmas gifts in your online accounts as well.

I feel the same way. If I knew about this deal I would have waited a little longer to switch to Public. 

[Jbruns]

My wife and I just signed up on Sunday the 20th. Did we miss out on the boxing week promos?

[Triguy]

Did you add the freebies for 2GB data and 500 international LD minutes ?  Also there are two contests.

[Presshi]

What do I get for being a loyal customer??🥺

[HALIMACS]

Nice catch,  @darlicious 

[oglat]

Nice one

Thanks

[darlicious]

@AE_Collector @HALIMACS 

If you note the small print * offer is stackable with other promotions ...infers that as long as you re-register your email with the new offer you will get the 5gb add on bonus data.

It is a one time bonus. Does not expire until consumed.

[darlicious]

@i_refaat 

One time add on that rolls over each month until depleted. Value =$75

And anyone activating a new plan in a promotion window (that meets the promotion requirements) got the promotion. Now having to register an email address first messes that up frequently. I am guessing that the email registrations ARE registered against the specific promotion. But if one registers for more than one promotion before activating who knows what happens. 

And yes @darlicious , I never really fit the term “trumps” into conversations all that often and now that I think to use the term more often, I no longer want to.

@HALIMACS 

Before we had email registraions for promotions an updated promotion would take prevalance over the previous promotion by the date activated. Anyone activating yesterday would get a second month credit. Anyone activating today ( $25+) would recieve a free month credit and the 5gb data add on. If tomorrow pm added a free sim card then only those who activated then would get the sim card as well.

The most important part of this would be to re-register your email for the current promotion.

[HALIMACS]

Hi @darlicious & @AE_Collector 

Based on the feedback I've received from Mods in recent weeks, they apply the first promo applied for when the same e-mail address is registered on concurrent promos.

That seems odd to me - since if someone decides to register the same e-mail address for a subsequent promo, it would seem to me the intent in doing so would be to benefit from the subsequent promo  (as opposed to a prior one...)

It certainly would be very good for PM to clarify this for prospective members who may be registering the same e-mail address for promos which are running concurrent to each other.

Anyone else have any insight on what happens in this case?

[darlicious]

@Catherine_T 

Wow now that's an update! The only thing missing from last years black friday promotion is the free sim card but for anyone who purchased  one from CCS they are practically free! Great job on upping the ante.....now if you snuck in a bonus referral credit for the referrer we would be right back to this time last year minus the pandemic of course. Theres always surprise gifts from Santa to open on Christmas morning......Ho, Ho, Ho!

@AE_Collector @HALIMACS 

I agree some clarification on registering or re-registering email addresses would be good unless the latest promo trumps ( not that trump!) all other promos and a registered email address just needs to be used to activate regardless of when it was registered.

Hi @Triguy thanks - Yes, I did see that path as well.  🙂

Just thought it would be a good thing for @Catherine_T / PM to correct for those who chose to click on the provided link.

[AE_Collector]

I dont understand how these overlapping ever changing promos work with regard to registering your email address. IS the registration of an email address logged against the specific promotion? Thus if you register your email address for the Dec 11-14 promo but before you get activated a better offer such as the Dec 18-21 promo has come and now the Dec 22 offer is better still. What offer would you receive?

@pmpublic 

Add-on perks like the holiday gifts are never lost no matter what plan changes you make.

Perks like the 5Gb add-on for new accounts of $25 or higher can be lost by changing plans. I didn't study the offer closely but don’t believe that I noticed a specific clause stating plan changes will forfeit the remainder of the add-on but that has been stated in some prior offers.

Way to go, Public Mobile.  Loving the sweetened offers.

Some have asked what happens if they just registered for the most recent promo by end of day yesterday.

That's a great question - and one I've asked the Mod's before.

They replied that if you enter the SAME e-mail address for a later promo, if you activate during the time the first promo is still in effect, that it would default to the first promo registered for.

It seems like there are, therefore, 2 options:

1. register a different e-mail address for the subsequent promo, and activate using that e-mail address, or
2. register the same e-mail address for the subsequent promo (and this is important) wait until the eligibility activation period ends for the first promo before activating on the second promo.

I know, it's confusing.  Other than the options above, I could imagine your only option otherwise would be to seek Moderator assistance after the fact and plead your case which promo you wish to apply for the activation.
