I tried the build your own plan tool and it appears that the +500MB data bonus only applies to the above plans (i.e. plans with at least 2GB data / 30 days).

Anyways I'm sure some people will like this addition! And great to see it's also available for current customers 🙂
According to the faq, you can build your own plan. It should be available to smaller data plans.
The calculator only adds the bonus on 2 Gb and up plans

The bonus will only work for a plan change to what is listed.
If you're on a previous promo (ie Fall 2016), if you choose to change, your costs are going to skyrocket.
This +500 mb (or 1.5 MB on 90 day) bonus is available to all, but grandfathered plans should not do the change (in my opinion).

So they have moved from 3GB + 3GB bonus ( that never goes away ) to 6GB + 500MB bonus. So now the base plans are now more secure.
Question - what if I recently upgraded my 90day 3G plan from ProvWide to CdaWide, no cost increase, and I future dated the change to happen at the next renewal date. The date has not happened yet, so can I change plans again to get the extra data. I would have made 2 changes before the next renewal. I think I can make a case for a genuine concern that this could cause a problem. Or have people done this sort of thing before

Personally, I would be more interested in plans with reduced prices rather than more days. Bandwidth is cheap.
