Hey Community,

 

We’re offering a new Refer a Friend promotion, thanks to one of the amazing ideas we received from our Oracle team. A special thanks to @Luddite for sharing this idea!

Until May 10th, 2018, if you refer a friend to Public Mobile and they activate, your friend will get a one-time $10 account credit to offset the cost of their SIM card. Plus, you’ll receive a $1 referral reward as part of our rewards program!

Get the full scoop below.

 

Taking advantage of this promo is easy. Just follow these steps:

As a Public Mobile customer you need to:

  1. Be a good pal and refer a friend to Public Mobile.
  2. Tell your friend that they need to successfully activate 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. Reminder, if you refer a friend you’re eligible for the $1 referral credit off your monthly bill for as long as your friend stays with Public Mobile.

 

Your friend will need to…

  1. Activate a Public Mobile SIM card on any 30 or 90-day plan at activate.publicmobile.ca
  2. Enter your active Public Mobile phone number on the referral page during the activation process. Be sure they enter your number and not their own.
  3. The one-time $10 credit will be applied to their Self-Serve account within 72 hours of activation.

FAQs and terms and conditions are below. Happy referring!

Perhaps they are piloting this to see if it is viable for implementation in the long haul?

I am all out of friends for now.  If know anybody that wants to make friends with me, send them my way.  I promise not to bite.  Smiley Happy

Why have a May10 cut off date? This should be perminent. The new customer already paid for the SIM. Only those with referral will get that credit back. 

 

Koodo does this for their prepaid plans. SIM cost $20 and you get a $20 credit when you open a new prepaid account with Koodo. No deadline. It has been going on for as long as I can remember.

 

And I think $10 is fine. No need to increase it, but I don't understand the May 10 date.

Sorry, no time machines/mulligans.  Good things come to those who wait.


Have you checked on Kijiji for a time machine?

 

Good to see new promos coming to Public Mobile!


This would only work if these things are cheap to buy!  Telus can easily churn customers from one brand to another.  I can't churn out friends at the same pace.

This is good news 🙂

 

Thanks!

 

 

@Wormie, the party doing the referral gets $1 savings per 30 days.  The new customer gets a one time $10 account credit after 72 hours.  The deal is actually a lot better for the new customer. 

 

I wish I can makes a whole bunch of new friends before this deal expires.  All my other friends have moved on to greener pastures at Koodo.  With the customer realignment initiatives that Telus is undertaking, doing referrals is like running on a treadmill.  Smiley Sad
