I refered my friend to used PM service and he activated the service on Dec 27. How come I have not gotten any rewards now.
I have been with PM more than one year. But I have not gotten 1$ loyalty rewards yet
This keeps coming up about referrals.
You should have received a text message either in the day your friend used your referal or the next morning. Can you check back to see if you received it?
You also would have received a $20 bonus referal credit into your available funds if your friend activated on Dec 27. Check for that.
Was this your first referal? Can you take a screen shot of your online account home screen and post it here blocking out person info and referal code. There should be a Refer a Friend Reward showing there.
Did you ask your friend if they received the $10 credit from using your referal code to activate?
As for the 1 year loyalty reward, what day exactly did you join PM? It is awarded at 1 year but since PM plans are 30 days long you will renew for your 13th 30 day plan 5 days before your loyalty award arrives and it will then go towards payment if your 14th 30 day plan. However, there have been some glitches with the loyalty rewards so you may have to check with the moderators. Tell us your start date and we can help you.

You should get the $20 one time credit within 72 hours after your friend activated her/his plan.
Did your refer-a-friend reward went up $1 after your friend's activation?
Your loyalty reward will be added to your account shortly after your anniversary date. Since PM billing cycel is 30 days. Your anniversary date is 5 days after your 13th payment(the 12th renewal). You will get the $1 applied to your 14th payment.
I assume it will be honoured through midnight eastern Jan 1. Either the wrong date of Dec 31, 2019 was put on the announcement OR it was done on purpose giving the one extra day of Jan 1 for last minute activations though no one knew it was "last minute".
Going back half a year or so it looked as though the community was being given a heads up of at least part of a day and in some cases up to a week when open ended promos were going to end. This was quite a nice bonus for the community to have a bit of warning to close any in progress deals as well as to be able to accurately inform others of start and end dates etc.
Is there any possibility of getting back to that scenario in the future or is the directive to end promotions over night even though they originally had no end date?
@computergeek541 Ok I'm glad I'm not crazy...i was positive it was still in my account last night. Did Tiana have a day long hangover and forget what day it was today? Hindsight is 2020....

Last year the customer promo ended the evening of Jan 1, it was either the second month free promo or the 6 x $10 credit promo. The $25/$25 referal credit bonus carried on a bit longer if I recall correctly. Maybe until Jan 10 or 15. Then there was nothing for another month or so.
@AE_Collector Thats what ive been keeping my eye on in my account so im sure i checked it yesterday after texting my friend with some additional pm info....and the first thing I checked when the announcement disappeared. Just a little suspicious. I only want the announcements to be up front and accurate. If it expired at midnight on January 1st I would have much less of a problem.
@AE_Collector I was in and out of my account a few times yesterday and I swear I saw it still there but I only took a screenshot of my data not my overview.
I was keeping a very close eye on the two offers expecting something to happen very soon. I kept checking the initial post for edited wording as well as the last post in each for any sort of announcement. I'm virtually certain there was no indication here last night yet this morning it has been uprooted from the pinned announcements and says it expired Dec 31.
Oh well, it was a good run, I did well and thanks to Public Mobile for thinking of the existing customers yet again. I would love to see some stats on customer numbers through these various promos (but know that I won't). I think that paying us to Sell PM is an excellent tactic!
@AE_Collector How did i miss that? The announcement came down today but I'm sure the offer was still in my account yesterday. It was there for sure on the 31st. Did they announce yesterday and no one noticed?
@j7791 Here's an idea? Create your own post. Looking for sim in Missisauga Area. If anyone has one, I'll use your referral code. They'll get $20 for the convenience.
You can use the SIM you ordered to sign up your first friend. I keep a half dozen on hand at all times.
Here's a list of vendors in case you haven't checked one of them.

Please click the 3 dots on top right of your post and edit the post to remove the referral code you posted. It's against the terms of public mobile forums to post referral codes.

@Chuchamiga Your friend should have gotten a text saying they successfully referred a friend. They can also check in their account under rewards. The last 4 digits of your number will show if they click on the little arrow to the left of rewards.
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 ?
Chupa
Ask the referrer if they have you in the referral list or just wait 72 hours for the credit.
