Hi

 

I signed up with pubic mobile jesterday but how to know sure if the referral code was working when putting the transaction through?? It was saying something like need referrer code or must enter referrer code even though I had the correct referrer code in the box. It took me about 30 minutes just to get passed that page because every time I submitted the info it would gift me error with those replies above. Is there way to vericheck I'm get the tan dollars? and same for my referee ?

 

I know the code was correct but it may have had to be remoed from the box before I was let to go on.

As of now it is. It can end at anytime.

 

Log into self serve look to the right the details will be there along with your referral code that you have to provide to the person you're referring so they can enter it when signing up.

my question has been answered.  I received the additional $20 in my account the next day.  The extra reward that was offered when I refer someone. 

So far PM rocks.

My name is Kishor Bhingaradia phone [phone number removed for privacy]

my email:[email removed for privacy] which would have been provided originally when I bought the plan. But now I can't login or register using this email So I have used [email removed for privacy] to get to community help. 

I need my account number, I am unable to sign up for a account access, it doesn't let me.

I also need to reset my email address on file as its not accepting current email..

 

Thanks

 


@bhingaradiak  Im sorry nobody seems to have helped you out. In future ask your own question to up top in the "ask a question " under the appropriate section like "self serve" and you will get dedicated responses and more attention to solve your issue. You need to contact a moderator who will help you change your email so you can set up your self serve account. Be sure to not post personal info here on the community but only to a moderator in your private messages that you can find by looking for the envelope icon next to your avatar at the top right corner of your screen. This is where you will communicate privately with the moderator. To contact one click on the (?) at the bottom right of your screen and submit a ticket via Simon explaining your issue to the moderators. Type in human or rep then follow the prompts to explain your issue and submit  your service ticket.  Keep an eye on your private message box for a little number to pop up indicating a message. You will have to verify that you are the account holder with the moderator so Be ready to supply your email used when you signed up, your pin#, ph #, name on account, address and  your security question and answer. If you've forgotten one they will just ask you another question. It can take as little as an hour or as long as eight hours to hear back the reply back promptly to get faster service.

I referred my first friend.. He is set up. I received a text from PM showing my $1.00 a month perk but got nothing about the extra $20 credit I am supposed to get. It's not in my account. The $1.00 is? Does the $20 happen later? 


Public Mobile says to wait up to 72 hours for those one-time credits.

Hi,

Unless your friend entered wrong code, or not entering at all, you should have received it.  Steps to check:

1  Checked if your friend got $10.  If not, he might have not entered your code at a correct location. 

2. If he got $10, and you didn’t see $1/month discount, then he might’ve entered wrong code.  Open support ticket

3. If you see $1/month discount, check the history if there is any deduction of $20 from your billing 

 

Hope you can find/get your $20

I would only refer my worst enemy to PM, their ability to fix the USA Addons is totally crappy and frustrating! You have to wait for a moderator (whom you can only contact on the private messaging service) who then takes their sweet time to even getting around to fixing it and then blames it on some other company. LOL I wouln't want to lose friends by recommending PM! 

@fruitloops   You are on the community with other customers like you. We can help advise you but we don't apply credits or rewards or anything that requires access to your account. If you feel that your rewards or a credit has not been applied correctly you will have to submit a service ticket to the moderators by clicking on the (?) At the bottom right of your screen and submit a ticket via Simon explaining your issue to the moderators. Just type in human or rep then follow the prompts to explain your issue and submit a service ticket.

$5 of what? Rewards?

Just posting here like that will not get it fixed.

Maybe post a screen snip of your overview page and/or payment history and we can maybe help you find it. Blank out personal info of course.

I just had some one use my referral. I got the $1 reward by text but did not get the $20 until the next day. Be patient.....it does say 72 hours. 

Also log in yourself and confirm whether your "refer a friend" total has incremented by $1. This happens almost immediately after a successful referal and is the quickest way to tell if a referal has been processed.

My friend who activated a new Public Mobile account at least a week ago and used my referral code. It is supposed to have the one time $20 credit to my account as said in the website within 72 hours of her activation, but I still have not received the credit yet. So I am wondering why and what can I do? 

Thank you very much!

 


Did you friend receive the $10 credit?

 

Open a ticket by using https://publicmobile.ca.ada.support/chat/ and then typing in "rep".

This is very attractive promotion. It works flawlessly, I refer my friend Monday afternoon, I got 1$ reward message right away and by 1-30 AM my account balance got $20 credit.

Very delighted.

I referred a relative to switch from Bell to Public Mobile a few days ago, and didn't even realize there was an added $20 dollar incentive. A lovely surprise to see that credit in my account. Thanks PM! Smiley Very Happy


@stevenhayward  Hopefully you have realized that pm has given you a couple of holiday gifts and you have already added them to your account?

I just switched to Public Mobile on December 15. When and where can I see the $10 Also I chose the 25 dollar plan which is supposed to give me $0 for my first bill where can I see that as well. I am very new and want to figure it all out.


Welcome to Public Mobile.

The $10 should appear overnight but officially up to 3 days.

Without looking, the promo month iirc should show up before 30 days. Up to 6 days.
