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

How to Activate:

Doh, I signed up my mother to a public mobile account yesterday. If I sign her up through the email link will this promotion be applied to her plan that was activated on the 22nd?

Oh...they gave refunds for roaming add-ons for those still in the states too.

Do the likes of Lucky and Chatr give all this stuff away? Or just the upper main brands?

"Summer 2019" , "Xmas 2019" were almost 12 months ago ......

I am referring to current times. Cell phone usage due to covid has dropped significantly (while home internet usage picked up) and that's why almost every provider is offering free data /minutes EXCEPT PM as a token of concern and care to its subscribers and to retain them. 

No discounts or one time perks from PM during the "entire covid period so far" !!!

All PM offers and perks are for new customers only ! - Wondering existing customer are PM's lowest priority.

Summer 2019 we all got a free gig of data. Xmas 2019 we all got 400 minutes and a gig of data. Summer 2020 people in AB and BC got 1000 minutes and 5 gigs of data.

Some promo plans are made available to existing customers. There used to be a promo credit for referrals for the existing customer. We haven't seen that for a while other than enticing a few no-to-low referrals customers to get with it for one time.

If you sign up for the $25 plan and change to the $15 plan for the 2nd month then the credit will be for $15 and not the $25?

If you initially sign on with the $25 plan and your next renewal is free...why would you downgrade to $15 plan for the second ?

Alternative is to downgrade for the 3rd renewal. Wouldn't that make more sense ?  😷

EDIT; never mind...I now see your point. Good question.  🤔

Oh and good to see the Flash Sale coming around somewhat regularly AND good to see it here in the announcements on the Community. Sales and Promotions should always be listed here to inform the community.

Looks like you can activate on “any plan” this time BUT it is “Activate Online” which means “Do it Yourself“ activation, not a store or dealer activation as I see it.

Easy enough to DIY but invariably there will be some “I didn't get my second month free” comments in the community which will turn out to be people who activated at a dealer. Would like to see that clarified better.

And we now have “before Oct 26 11:59 PM Eastern” wording so that is good in that it eliminates previous confusion caused by “activate before Oct 26” wording that seemed to translate to “BY Oct 25” in reality. Better wording still would be “Activate BY Oct 26 11:59 PM” instead of BEFORE. The 11:59 is used to be more specific than saying “midnight” so that makes “before” redundant. By is what is really meant and nails it down to the minute.

As always....JMHO

@Catherine_T hello why do you folks continue to mislead people by saying second month free when in fact it is a 30 day plan you are offering ?

[totalUser]

These are good offers to refer people and have them stick around at least 60 day and really give it a try. But I'm having very hard time getting people to ignore unlimited talk & text for a year for $99 by freedom or Fido's data only offers. I really think we need some fresh plans. Also lots of young people cannot last 10 gigs for 30 days. 

It's still good promo

Great thanks for the offer:)
