Being that my 90 days are almost up, looks like I'll have to do a double port to get this plan. Getting tired of these targetted promos.
08-16-2017 01:38 PM
Is this regular LTE speed or 3G speed
08-16-2017 01:38 PM
Instructions say to select the 500MB data option but it doesn't seem to be an option under the plan section? Does the 500MB option show when you are actually going through the activation?

I hate to loose my referal bonus, and restart my loyalty bonus... but it may be worth the trouble of getting a FM account, just to port over.
right now I'm on the $165/90 promo, and get $6 off for referalls... but if I ditch this account, and port over a FM account, i'll be saving 165-126=$39. Obviously the savings are much greater than my referal bonuses.. but I'd be pissed if a few months later they gave existing customers a similar promo...
Decisions decisions...

This is $2/month more compared to the last promo.
Better than nothing.

Hoops are the fun part of PM's approach to garnering business!

@SD08 As with many things at PM there is a workaround. See my post.
Yeah, I know. I'm just saying, current PM customers shouldn't have to jump through hoops to get it, just like last time.

PM May honor the promo to you. Just PM one of the mods. If it was like a month ago you'd probably SOL, but if it was only a few days ago you'll probably be safe.

have a Freeedom account to access this promo; it can be any account type. The promo end date will be announced a few days before the drop dead date.I assume that we will loose any referal bonuses, since we are essentially dropping our old PM account for a new one, correct?
@Rustynayl That is correct.

Yeah.. I wonder how one would go about getting it if they are already a PM customer and are tied to their number...
For someone with another provider, anyone can get it (even if not currently a FM customer)

Really wish I could get in on this, as I pay $165 for the exact same thing.. 😞
At the very least, I can get my wife on board who's paying about the same amount on Freedom.

I would think it is targetted as to not have a neutral market share increase (e.g. people coming from Koodo or Telus).
I would have hoped that if that was the case, it would be open to anyone coming from a list of competitors, and not just 1.
