  2. Tell your friend that they need to successfully activate online on a 30 or 90-day plan during the promotional period and include you as their referrer in order to be eligible for the promotion.
  3. The one-time $25 credit will be applied to your Self-Serve account within 72 hours of your friend’s online activation. In addition, you will continue to be eligible for the $1 referral credit off your monthly bill for as long as your friend stays with Public Mobile.

2.I am a Legacy customer. Am I eligible for these rewards?

Legacy customers are not eligible for rewards. However, Legacy customers’ referrals are eligible for this offer, and can receive a one-time $25 account credit.

PM should really have a chat with walmart - their stores refuse to sell sim cards only without activation. This must be against PM policy.

Never had problem getting sim card only at london drugs

You will receive a notification as soon as they process. You friend  has to enter your public mobile number as referral while signing up. This promo has a last date be sure you friend has done the referral. In my case it showed up after a few days when I signed up.

Did you activate online? If yes you need to wait till 72 hours to see it in your available funds...Smiley Happy If no you will see a 10$ instead.

If you activated online and nothing appears in your account or in his account AFTER 72 hours you can write a message to the moderator here..https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/notes/composepage/note-to-user-id/22437 and explain what happened. Waiting time is few hours to 2 days..

Hi

I just signed up as a new member with online activation. I plugged my friend's number in at the referral section.

When will my friend and I receive the $25 referral bonus? Thanks!


I believe it will be there in the morning, but give it 72 hours just in case.

@wchu - You should both see the $25 within 72 hours.  Your friend will probably see your referral in their online portal within a few hours.  Plus, they should get a text message notifying them that you used them as a referral.

Yes, the activation and self-serve systems are misbehaving today, but members should keep trying so that sign up can be finished before this promotion ends on Monday.

Do it all online. Use an open browser without all the blocks and filters and security measures etc. to give it every opportunity to work.

I mostly use Firefox with a bunch of add-ons filtering things. When I need to do something unlocked-down for things like forms and such I use Edge.

Don't worry @cloveliu I missed out three times, but the money I saved and some new specials for existing members have cheered me up greatly since I moved to Public Mobile.

 

I hope you too will find satisfaction from your stay here.  Heart

I received $1 friend referral fees but not the $25 bonus credit, What's going on?


Maybe your $1 referral credit situation is same as mine, your referral went to a store and wanted to buy a sim card to activate online at home, the store person offered to your referral that he/she can help you to activate the sim card and do the phone number porting for you as a courtesy. They mentioned to your referral that they don't earn commission from selling the sim card and activate the prepaid plan. They opened up a web brower to https://activate.publicmobile.ca/ and told your referral that it is same as you to activate it online at home. Somehow to link their information with the activation, that's why you get $1, and your referral get $10. 


They're sneaky little sneaks those guys. Of course they get a commission.

The recommendation is also to not even use the store wifi. Get out. Do it at home or a coffee shop.

The theory that I read here is that there's probably a set ip address that is linked to the store at Public Mobile. Like the external ip of the store router.
