3. Activate on a plan online before November 6, 2020, 11:59PM ET to redeem this offer.

Note that, if you have registered for AutoPay, you will continue to receive your $2 AutoPay reward every 30 days. All Reward rules, which can be found at publicmobile.ca/rewardrules, apply.

This person not only did not meet the requirement of registering their email address by Oct 26 but missed the activation period (by Nov 6) that followed the registration period. Anyone can contact moderators asking for a deal but it doesn’t seem right to me to waste the moderators time with something like this and make them the bad guy to enforce rules that make it fair for those who meet promotion requirements. A 1 day miss is one thing but this is much more than that. 

JMHO.... AE_Collector

You had to register your email by midnight eastern Monday night and then register a new account by sometime in early November using that same email address. If you didn't register your email by last night or have already activated the new account....you missed it. If you don't need to get activated ASAP with PM I would wait to see what Comes up for Black Friday anyway.

Hi,

I’m  new here I activated my phone last evening but when I was in the store I had to pay money I said what about the first 2 months free he said I had to take it up with Public Mobile 

so from what I’ve read I have to wait 30 days for a credit?

The promo was to activate yourself online. Not in store. Click on the little 1 to the lower left of here and you'll see the details of this promo.

Thanks to all.  Hoping that everything will run smoothly and that I won't need the email or need to follow up etc.

[darlicious]

@wbg13 

Public mobile hasn't always sent confirmation emails for email sign up flash sales. When they have its often a few days before it's about to expire. This is probably the quickest they've ever sent one out ( the day after the sign up window's expiry date.) Saving the email "just in case" it's needed is prudent.

 

[Jb456]

@wbg13  The times are right for the email as the system does it automatically. 

All you had to do was enter your email on the flash sale promo link before October 26th 11:59PM Eastern. So once that ended a mass email was sent to all the people that qualified.

Now people have till November 6th to activate a sim card with that email to get the 2nd 30 days free.

Keep an eye in your account for the credit November 13th or afterwards for it to be applied.

If you signed up with a referral code for a $10 signup bonus and if you also did auto-pay. Those credits are applied within 72 hours of activation. The first $2 is credited to your account as system can't apply it at signup and would go towards the 2nd 30 day payment (normally) as well you should see $2 under My Rewards which system will apply to available balance automatically at 2nd renewal which will continue like that always going forward. In this case since you get a credit for 2nd 30 day plan you would have $4 in available balance for 3rd payment (or $14 if you used a referral code) plus at renewal time for 3rd payment a $2 autopay reward under the My Reward section that will be credited by the system bringing balance to $6 or $16 for 3rd payment. That $6 or $16 will be debited before charging your card (if on auto-pay) for your 3rd payment. Example $25 plan minus $16 equals $9 plus province taxes for 3rd payment.

Welcome to Public Mobile 🙂

[wbg13]

Thanks @kb_mv and @computergeek541 

Just odd they never emailed this at the time that I registered my email but days later.  Not to mention when I already activated also.

[computergeek541]

@wbg13 

I wouldn't be concerned about this e-mail message.  i believe that it likely it was aent to all who submitted an e-mail address for this offer. If anything, this e-mail message helps support your case if you don't receive the credit.

[kb_mv]

@wbg13 If you have already activated, save the emails/screenshots of your congrats message. This along with your activation date should be good to prove you did all you needed to do to qualify in the event that you don't get the second month free. Welcome to PM.

[wbg13]

I submitted my email for this flash sale (I think on Oct 24) and then activated a plan on Oct 25 so before the Nov 6 activation deadline.  However, today I just received an email with the Subject line: Don't forget to activate on your free month of service with Public Mobile and in the body:

Congrats! Your email was received and is eligible for our limited time flash sale.

Get 30 days of service for $0. Activate by November 6 using this email address to receive this offer*.

Should I be concerned that it didn't recognize this offer on my activation?

That should please some regulars and annoy some others!

As you can see I only let my @helper out of the basement once or twice a year as its a lot of work hand feeding the univac 5000 my hand written stats. It's currently crunching numbers for my latest top secret stats thread!

[AE_Collector]

@darlisious has an @helper in her basement doing the big calculations. We throw her a replacement vacume tube now and again to keep the Univac 5000 in service.

@darlicious Wow!  Thanks for doing the math and your input.  This community is great with people like you who take the time to help others out!

[darlicious]

@dac13 

The only monetary advantage to signing up to a higher data plan and switching to the $15 plan is the same regardless of what plan you choose between $25 and $50. It's $10 extra. So if you really can't be bothered with how much data you can play with for the first month then just sign up for the $25/1gb plan and downgrade to the $15 plan. The math:

$15 plan : month 1) prepay $15 credit $15+$10 referral credit +$4 ($2+$2 autopay) =$29  $29-$15(month 2) =$14+$2(a/p)=$16-$15(month 3)=$1+$2 (a/p)=$3 month 4 requires $12 to be added to renew service $3+$12=$15-$15=$0 month 5 and beyond is $13 w/autopay

$25 plan : month1) prepay $25 credit $25+$10 referral credit +$4 ($2+$2 autopay) =$39 $39-$15(month2)=$24+$2(a/p)=$26-$15(month3)=$11+$2(a/p)=$13+$2(you add)=$15

$15-$15(month4)=$0 month 4 requires $2 vs $12 with the $15 plan only month 5 is $13

“Do we even have to ask that?” 

I’ll always ask. 😂 

Freedom is killing it with their $35-10GB deal. I get it that their coverage is spotty, but at least offer something a little more competitive.

@Kupster 

“Regardless I think it really nice of Public Mobile to continously offer great deals, when all the other big carriers dont.👍”

Hmmmm. You can only take advantage of this promo once as it’s for new accounts only. Chatr is owned by Rogers (a Big Company) and they’re the ones who offered this in the first place.

Whichever way its a win for us subscribers. So I say its an awesome deal. It another point I can use in recruiting my friends to switch to PM. They get a great deal and I get referral code point. WINWINWIN🤩

You should be fine.  In previous similar promotions, the confirmation email was not sent as described in the terms and conditions.  If you don't receive the credit, you should be able to contact moderator for assistance.

Do we even have to ask that?  The "Prepaid Three" copy most things that one of the others does. Customers probably also churn between the three on a regular basis for these free 30 day/free month offers.

@Michael6 wrote:

So if I understand correctly, it's this promo or the free 3gb of data, not both?

I wouldn't be so sure about that. First off, I have not tested this theory. There's also no real point in asking Public Mobile for an official answer because they'll just give you the scripted answer that the promotions are not combinable as per the terms of the free 30 day offer.  However, what I'll say is how the free 30 day offer doesn't require any type of promo code. A large part of the reason that some offers aren't stackable is because of the fact that you can't use 2 different promo codes during activation.  I'm sure that some people might try to chance this, but if someone ends up losing the free 30 day offer, that person probably shouldn't complain about it.
