@59 how long as it been, it takes up to 72 hours. did they follow the rules of the promotion ie online activation and entering you number as the referal?
I was refered to Public by a friend and received the 25 dollars
I have refered a friend and have not received the 25 dollars. Please advise me what to do to ensure that I receive the 25 dollar credit for the friend referral.
Thank you
Did the other friend that you referred to, do the activation online?
If not then you'll get the $1/30 days and he'll get $10 if he in fact put in your number at activation.

Do the $25 carry over to the following month? My bill cost say $40 a month, if i refer 4 friends will that pay my current bill of $40 and have $60 carry over to the next month, then pay that month and $20 carry over to the next month? Or does the credit go away once the month is over?
The $25 credit is a one time thing per referral if the activation is done online. It stays in your account until it is used up and as long as your account is still open.

You should really change the referrals method to using unique referral codes that are only to be used for referring customers to maintain privacy. That's a change that I see should really be completed.
@EdmondY what's the issue? Why don't you want to give your number to friends and family?

Very bad advertising for Public Mobile... I'm not impressed
It's not Public Mobile's fault, the OSL representatives at Wal-Mart are the problem, as they are instructed by their manager to not sell without activation. Please provide information to @Mary_M regarding the specific location, so that Public Mobile can address this issue accordingly.
I don’t see anywhere where it says you can get this if activated in store.
The orig post and repeated countless times it says you have to activate at home or online
@smp99 the fact that there are still people showing up here with the same stories of their experience with Walmart, or some other partner, shows that there is room for improvement in the way PM chooses their words for their promotions. These can be changed to win-win situations if it was worded slightly differently.
Very bad advertising for Public Mobile... I'm not impressed
Yes, Walmart has been a sore spot for Public Mobile in terms of business partners. I hope Public Mobile considers dropping them soon because there are many stories of people getting duped by Walmart staff. Sorry to hear of your experience, but welcome to Public Mobile and hopefully the rest of your experiences will be a lot better (especially the money you save from cheaper accounts and the great people you meet in the community here).
Public Mobile are not responsible for this bad mistake but the representatives from technology Walmart department. I hope too that something can be eventually finally...done.
