Does anyone know if this is still available?

I just referred a friend, got a text saying my rewards have been applied to my account. I received $2???? AKA $1 for the monthly friend referral, but another dollar for... nothing...? 
Will the $20 come later or should I do something about this?

Yes, after contacting support moderators, they gave me the $20 refer fee, and $10 sign up bonus to the person I gave my code to. I got my signup done at a store so that he could transfer my existing phone number. He was not able to see my refer code at that time. I only got it after getting home and creating online account. The other phone had already been signed up by then. Explained that to support, and they took care of it.

Its a great promotion for existing and new customers. 


This promotion is really for existing customers. The new customers would have still got $10 being referred even if this promo wasn't running.  However, once people do sign up as new customers, they can immediately also start referring others.

I guess here comes the holiday deals. Nice offer, love these $20 referral credits because once all the other rewards reduce my bill then this comes in and there's always plenty left over to cover the next month, so ends up being like 2 months free for me. Gotta love how PM not only takes care of new customers but also their existing customers. Something other providers really need to take note of. Great job PM.

I put it out there hoping someone acts on it.

Whenever these promotions come out I am reminded to repost the offer

Woohoo!  I just got my $20 referral from a friend signing up.  Thank you PM for this promo!

@CalebK  At the very least you are eligible for the goodies to be announced tomorrow. Refer to the letter from Dave in the announcements.

@CalebKDon't despair...send a message to the moderators explaining what happened. Did you take a screenshot anytime during your activation? I often recommend this to record pin # and security answer details and the receipt. It would help bolster your case. I have had an activation miss a deadline due to an error and having to wait out a lock out seesion. The moderator was kind enough to honour the promotion. It cant hurt....even if they refuse you are no worse off. Good luck.

I got a "server error" while I was trying to transfer my existing phone number. My first attempt I would have been done before 10 local time (midnight for Ontario). But because of that I had to start from the beginning and by the time I had gotten through with everything it was 10:03 haha. I'll keep my eyes open for other promotions.

Yes, the friend will receive the usual $10 at sign up, and the referrer will receive $20.
