Get a new sim card and start a new account.

If you've been here for 5 years, then you know PM has given you some free "crap" in the past.

I still have free Holiday data available from a couple of Xmas freebies...er...crap. 😷

At PM, loyalty means increasing reward at every anniversary by $1 per month and that saving can be used to buy data add-ons. New customers dont have that reward. 

[numa]

3GBBONUS is probably working too. Also cmon, when these deals come for new customers only, they are basically asking loyal customers to switch every year. Loyalty means nothing.

[pkaraa]

if this promotion is ever extending, PM should increase the data by 2GB on the plan. 😄

So why is @Anonymous  continually going on  about there being nothing for the existing customer??    Are these offered to everyone or are they perks for top rated staff ?

 @barndoor : The poster and others saying the same thing are correct.

I sometimes pipe in with separating the terminology. This thread is about a promo. The items listed in my image are gifts. The company probably sees it all as something to do with promotion/promoting/advertising/marketing, but I separate them for the purposes of the community. But that's just me. I'm pleased to see that most people appear to go along with that concept.

Summer 2020 the company had a regional giveaway of (after a bit of a shamozzle rolling out) 1000 minutes and 5gb. So yes those two were not for everyone. The rest were for everyone.

And just a reminder...we are all just customers...not staff...(some people might want to "accuse" another of being staff for whatever reason they imagine).

@barndoor 

It is possible, if you blocked certain texts/numbers from Public Mobile you may miss a targeted offer.

OR, if you unsubscribed from any of Public Mobile emails. 

But, privacy settings in your Community Account (if that is what you were referring to) should not affect anything you are eligible to receive for your PM account.

Just keep popping in here to see the latest news. 🙂

@barndoor 

Some of these promos are not usually automatically applied to your account; but rather you need to GO ADD them (for free) to your account via your Self Serve account, 

OR respond to a text from Public Mobile for a targeted offer.

Some are to ALL existing customers, which customers will then need to action in some way to obtain these gifts.

Some are targets to certain members or regions.

It's a common business practice that mobile providers put more effort to get new customers.  It's unfortunate but it's normal.  

Luckily customers can fight back easily (or at least take advanage), with easy porting now, you can freely port to another providers.    As in the case with PM, since PM plans are all non-contract, you can port away without any worry or without penalty

yeah - I had to downgrade my wife's plan to $15 just so she would start using some of the free bonus add-ons. What's the point of the free add-on if you never use it. It will will take her a year before she needs more, meanwhile saving $20 month. I won't run it dry, I will keep a little bonus reserve

So, every month, if having the $35 plan with autopay, I would get 5gb EVERY month??

@Campbell   Yes you would get the 2GB bonus data (in addition to plan data) every 30 days as long as it's on a new activation of plans $35+ and you don't change plans after.

[fujiyama]

Even though I never manage to refer anyone every time this promo comes up it's still nice to see a promo regularly 😄

Thanks!

That's awesome! Just wanted to refer PM to some of the friends today. A good additional benefit for them to join our community😊

@J_PM

and for Existing Customer nothing will provide 
public mobile have to provide special deals for existing customer,
i hope they will do something.
i appreciate you and your Team thank you very much...

[LeePublic]

Anyone who is reading this and is seriously considering joining Public Mobile can get the SIM cards at gas stations/convenience stores like Shell. While it's not the cheapest way to get a SIM, (SIMs are $10) it's the fastest way to get a SIM. And with a referral code, ($10 credit) you can offset the cost of the SIM card.

Good news that the offer has been extended.

LOL  ...why ? What message does repeating this over and over and over  send ?

[Tiprix]

At this rate the additional 2Gb of data will be ingrained in the $35 + up plans… and the $15 and $25 will need an upgrade 😄

[BlueB]

This promotion sounds familiar..............

I noticed these flash "sales" are getting harder to get with a shorter window especially with ordering a SIM card from Public Mobile can take so long.  As experienced members, we know of many other/cheaper/faster ways of getting a SIM card, but for somebody new to the service, they would be at a disadvantage.

[Dunkman]

Nice to advertise this promotion again.

However, customers have been able to get this promotion in-between these flash promotions.  Some customers have been getting emails from PM for this promo.  

[hTideGnow]

Would love to see these 2GB extra becomes part of the regular plans soon.  

[Triguy]

Good news that the offer has been extended.
