Introducing Public Points Rewards

Hey Community, 

 

We are happy to announce the launch of Public Points! 

 

Starting on January 25, 2022, Public Mobile customers who activate, will automatically be part of Public Points. This means that customers who activated prior to January 25, 2022 will remain on old Public Rewards without any change to the way or amount earned. Don’t worry, these customers can still join Public Points.

What is Public Points? 

Public Points is our newly improved rewards program. Sure, we loved Public Rewards, but in our endless pursuit of making things better for our customers, we’ve given it a makeover and made it more flexible than before. 

 

With Public Points you can:

  • Earn points. Public Points are so easy to earn, you’ll be rich in no time.
  • Redeem points. We make redeeming points simple. 1 point earned = 1 dollar when redeemed.  
  • Start saving. Redeem points on things that matter to you - like money off your bill, free add-ons, or the chance to win awesome prizes. 
  • Join whenever you want. Learn more here

 

Ways to earn Public Points:

With Public Points, earning points is so easy, you  can do it just by saying, "I'm in." And that's actually one of the ways you can earn points – by joining Public Points. There are a lot of other ways you can earn too:

1 point every 30 days / active friend you referred

Refer a friend to Public Mobile, and you’ll receive one point for every 30 days your friend stays with us. 

Your friend will also receive a one-time $10 credit when they use your referral code.

Ways to redeem Public Points:

Unlike some other rewards programs, there isn’t a specific way or time limit to cash-in yourpoints. When and how you redeem your points is entirely up to you! Just keep in mind that 1 point earned is valued at 1 dollar when redeemed. Really, that’s it!

Just so everyone is aware, the point calculator link seems to no longer work/be valid. Any chance this could be looked into? I was hoping to get some more information on how earning works via the public forums. I.e is it one point per bravo or calculated some other way?

Best phone plan investment by far! Cheapest phone plan options out of all the big corporations and the rewards program is an added bonus!

Being customer for Public Mobile for at least 8 years with different phone numbers and one or more numbers

All I can say it is that could not benefit in full from my loyalty to  PM due to all kind of rules and policies during the years

No it definitely is not but public points are still better than any other rewards of any kind that any other provider has which they don't except for some have an auto pay reward. So if you're trying to convince someone to switch to public well it is still a decent rewards program just it doesn't reward you as well through passive rewards versus active rewards. So if you can refer friends and participate in the community you can still earn a decent amount of points. But if you're not active and just depending on loyalty and what used to be auto pay but is now get back points then no is not nearly as good. But it is a little better if you have a more expensive plan as you will get more back but if you have one of the cheaper plans below $40 every 30 days that you get less back. The one advantage is the discounted add-ons so if you travel to the US and need roaming or use a lot of international minutes or need some extra data then you can save money through redemptions for add-ons.

Booo.... it's not as good!

@AlexTait 

The $$ rewards program is grandfathered you cannot activate under its and if you join public points after being a $$ rewards customer you cannot go back to $$ rewards.

 

My point is you can only activate and get the points program nowadays.

Can I still refer a friend and sign them up under the old rewards program instead of the new points plan?

I did not know there was a five year cap. Thanks for that info.

@kav2001c   My Reward page use the SAME login as My Account, these 2 systems sync'ed the credentials.  

Hmm I disagree there...

I just had to make 3 separate logins (account info to check payment date, new reward system to check out rewards page which had vanished from my account page, then message board to send off a request to CS to correct an issue)

 

Again on positive side, reply + fix from CS was FAST

Less than 5-10 minutes (I am used to 24-48 hours)

@kav2001c   the separate system because the new Reward is hosted on the current Telus rewards system as well.  My Account is on a different, older system.  But honest, they can still do something better to link it up if they want to

 

I guess, at least it is good they sync'ed the credentials between the 2 systems and you don't have to make another login

The new system appears at 1st glance to be better than old system

 

The annoying factors though are separate login page (why?) and loss of tenure for those with 5+ years service

I think, That if the PM Rewards Points becomes too irrelevant, or even Revolting, then perhaps PM needs to take the PM Points Back to Formula

 

Effective Rewards needs to be Effective, and baring Teeth, without which would make PM Unlucrative

In the future it would be good if Public offered points for phone purchases of discount on phones.

ROTFLMAO  .... I just got a notice two hours ago  from PM that I apparently had  earned a new badge  ... for Dec of 2021.  I think that says it all about the marketing team . Just maintain  my service continuity  please and I don't care what pretty points games  or badges  or other games you want to play in the background.

Yes, I agree, I think they are resorting to these tactics to wean us off the old rewards program. Not only that, we'll pay a higher plan price vs staying on the old rewards system. I preordered a Samsung Galaxy A53 so I don't need a new phone. 

darlicious

@paprika 

But you are missing my point....every new customer is on the points program so how they choose to redeem their points makes no difference to the actual rewards program. It's only those that are lured or "tricked" or willingly choose to leave the rewards program and join the points program that are of concern.

they really can't offer it to the $ rewards people (using the old system) as this would be considered an actual lottery.  And all lotteries involving money require them to be registered in each province.  Points are not reward $ unless they are converted.

@paprika 

Actually there are 3 iPhone 13's to be won....I am unsure about the number of Beats to be won. Don't be raining on the points people's parade they need something to hope for without regular rewards reducing their bill every month.

 

Is that capsaicin under your collar? Or is your username really hot paprika?🌶😁🌶

Lol...its not working very well though. Only one week left to pay a point for the lucky draw. If you were tricked into points this is probably your best odds at walking away with a treat!

 

The paprika coloured font is a nice touch!
