Update as of June 24th, 2019: If you were charged $50/mo, when you activated on the $50/mo Ready made plan during the eligible promo dates, you will be automatically credited back the difference and moved to the correct promo plan for the next 5 payment cycles. Your payment cycle will not change. A text message notification will be sent to confirm your plan correction on June 25th.

Hey out of curiosity, I did the "Sign up for Deal Alerts" thing on the plans page and was curious what would happen the next time a promo plan was announced here.  So far, I'd say:  nothing.  Are you planning to send a notification email to people that subscribed?  In the future, can that be at the same time the announcement goes live?  (You know, like, coordinated!)


I'd forgotten that I had also signed up for the deal alerts too.  Received no alerts to date.  I wonder if anyone has received an alert for this latest promotion.

Same here.  Signed up for the alerts but received no notice of this deal.

 

@Alan_K  Is the "Sign-up for Deal Alerts" feature not live yet, or does PM pick and choose which deals are pushed out for alerts?

No according to the condition of this promo.

If you currently have a cheap $10 plan, your can activate this plan this weekend. Disable auotpay and remove credit card info from your last week activation.  It will be cancelled after 90 days from your next renewal date.


So I think what you are getting at is that it isn’t really something related to the $10 plan that allows you to switch to this plan.  BUT if you have signed up to a plan that you are willing to walk away from the remainder of the 30 days that you have paid for, you could get another sim and sign up for this deal. I don’t think it is likely that someone who just signed up for a low monthly fee plan now wants the highest monthly fee plan offered just because it is $10 a month off for 6 months.  I don’t think you can port your number from PM to PM so you would lose your existing phone number if that was a concern. JMHO

Slight flaw for anyone ordering SIM card online (assuming they haven't got one previously and are sitting on the sidelines, waiting for a deal)... by the time the SIM card arrives, the promo will be over!

Thanks for the weekend promo. 

This plan will sell for itself.  Time to refer more friends to PM.

 

Too bad it is new activation only.  Otherwise, I will switch to this promo.
