How to Get this Offer:

1. Purchase a SIM Card: Click here to order online or locate a participating retailer to purchase a SIM Card.

Did you sign up on the 22nd?  The promotion wasn't valid on July 22nd.

I got everything done under 3 hours after I picked up a Bell and PM SIM:

1) Signed up with a new PM account and plan

2) Signed up with a prepaid account with Bell and ported out my exisiting PM number

3) PM number ported to Bell in half hour

4) Confirmed no service on PM SIM, yes service on Bell SIM

5) Port now-Bell number to PM

6) PM number ported in half hour

There is no up front cost to port to Bell as I chose to pay later.

Nicely done. So I guess you didn't leave behind any accumulated rewards or available funds.

I lost $1 on referral credit.

I do realize the promotion is over but I had experienced the same error yesterday as well.  But the SIM and appropriate plan successfully activated on my account after 20 minute wait.  I was just suggesting to ladymacbeth check her SIM to see if it was activated or not.

PM system is overloaded.

Give it 15-20 minutes and verify the SIM is working on your phone.  You'll need to do a network scan to ensure you're connected to Public Mobile

The problem this is that the promotion is officially over.  I do not know if the system was programmed to remove the promotion right at midnight eastern time or if someone has to manually remove it.

[paul007]

it sounds realy good plan i think people take a look and geab this deal it might not come again, technically for $28 you are getting 2G data can't be wrong

[XionBunny]

I hope maybe they'd offer a cheap 2 gig add on or lower the price on the 1 gig add on make it far more reasonable to grab in a pinch, theyd earn more cash in the long run with more people buying it at a better cost.

I just signed up for the flash sale. $35.00 plan. Which should be $33.90 for 2gig with auto pay and $5.00 off. Instead of $33.90 a month I paid $39.55. Don’t understand why. I’m new to public mobile. Thx anyone that can answer my question

You were charged $35 plus tax.  In the promotions details it says it can take upto 7 business days for the discount to appear in your account.  Looks like you'll have to wait a little while.

---

Somerhing similar also happened for a past promotion not too long ago.  In that case, the plan details said that you had to pay full price and then wait for a creditz while the annoucement said that even the first 30 days was discounted.  In the end, Public Mobile had to go back and apply an account credit and I believe make a plan change for anyone who didn't get the discount.

I'm not sure what promotion details you're looking at but the OP of this thread from Alan says that the initial activation charge should be the $30. Somehow they're supposed to adjust at payment. How? I dunno. Is it working that way? Doesn't look like it.

---

I read that too but I also noticed the following:

$5 credit and 500MB bonus will be automatically applied to eligible Ready-made rate plan of $35/month. Discount and bonus data will expire if account becomes inactive or the rate plan is changed. Please note it may take up to 7 business days for the discount to be applied. This offer is subject to change without notice.

---

Where. Are. You. Seeing. That? Clearly I must be going senile.

Ooohhhh!

Once again...mixed messaging. The OP also said starting at the time of the announcement and this says just the weekend.

Sigh.

Thanks for making me dig deeper. 🙂

@Ching  After reading the promotion details, it looks like you might have a wait of 7 business days before the discount appears in your account.
