 @rhkjcfp : You have until the end of the month to pick them up. When you get them, they don't expire until fully consumed.

Edit: Oh. You added to your post. nvm

[rhkjcfp]

I am searching the expiry dates of those holiday free and found in here.

You have until Dec 31 to get these 2 add-ons.

Add-ons do not have expiry date.  Unused data or minutes will be rolled over to the next 30 days cycle until all consumed.

Thank Public is great.

You need an active plan before you can use your add-ons.  You cannot stop renewing your plan and expect your add-ons still work.

Just to add to what @popping said, you won't be able to add these free gifts until you reactivate a suspended/inactive account either.

[TessieBoo]

Thanks Public Mobile!  And, Merry Christmas!

You have until Dec 31 to get these holiday promos in self service. The data and international minutes roll over every cycle until they are used up. These are great freebies.

You do not need to do anything. The 2 free holiday promos (data and international minutes) roll over every cycle until consumed.

Will I have to remember to delete the add-on so as not to get charged for it next month, or will it automatically adjust?

 @perphy 

All Canadian add-ons are buy once then consume over time. The only rule is to have an active account to use the add-on. Reactivate and you can use them again. Let the account deactivate and they're gone along with everything else.

[HALIMACS]

@perphy 

Add-on's do not automatically renew on the next renewal.

You got them until they're used up, then they're gone.

How do you apply for the free add ons for data use?

[Teslas]

Thanks for clarifying. I've been providing a referral link to make it easy and letting folks know the add-ons are a 1-time thing vs. monthly. Thanks for the tips, it can easily be misunderstood as monthly since the ads don't specify 1-time use.

[AE_Collector]

@Teslas 

Make certain you have the referral thing sorted out to get everyone signed up. 

Also make certain that everyone understands how PM add-ons work ... they are one time blocks of data and Long Distance minutes that dont renew each month. The data sits in your account to be tapped into if you run out of monthly plan data. You may use a bit of it and then stop using it when your next month starts and the unused part of the add-on remains on your account to be used again in the future if needed.

I say this because we frequently see enquires on here about what happened to the 2Gb per month data bonus for signing up with Public Mobile.
