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 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.

 

Your friend will need to:

  1. Activate a Public Mobile SIM card online 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 so you get credit for the referral.

Refer a Friend Promotion FAQs

  1. If I am referred and then I refer a friend or family member am I eligible for both sender and receiver rewards?
    Yes, you are. This means that you would receive one $25 credit for being referred. Then, after activating with Public Mobile, you are eligible to take part in this promotion as a referral sender and earn $25 Refer-a-Friend credits during the promotional period. Learn more here.
  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.
    To learn more about Reward eligibility and Rewards,visit publicmobile.ca/rewardrules . If you would like to take advantage of this promotional offer, our support team can help you switch your plan to one that is currently available.
  3. As the referral receiver, am I eligible for the ongoing $10 Refer a Friend Reward credit, as well as this $25 Refer a Friend credit?

This is your source. You're here. Out in the wild anybody can say anything they like.

Promo 1: activate online until the 16th with a referral and both get $25.

Promo 2: activate in store 23-25 and get a free SIM and credit for your plan cost.


Just received confirmation from moderator. Cant combine both promotions. Pretty disappointed. I hope i will still get $10 instead dor referring my friend, even though he activated instore.

 

here are the conditions that you need to fulfill in order to receive this bonus 

 

  • No limits apply to the amount of referrals that referrers can make.
  • Limit of one $25 credit per referee.
  • Referee must activate online.
  • Customers must activate online.


You won't get $10 for referring someone. You will get $1/30 days.  The $10 has never been given to the referrer.  Will you believe this or do you need a mod to confirm?  Yes I have referred people for my own experience with this

@bigmouth2015  in past the$10 was stackable.  Pretty sure it will be teh same for  the instore activation.  

 

but your information is incorrect, it is only $10 for the new account, not for both parties.

I am a bit confused. The link below says that if you activate your account this black friday weekend IN-STORE instead of online and use a friend referral, both parties are also qualified for $25 credits.

Why go there? You're at the right place to verify. The source. This very thread you're in even.

There are 2 real promos on right now. Until Dec 16 for the $25 referral and 23-25 for a free SIM and following month credit. There's also an autopay bonus data thing going on.

 

Edit: Ok I read the article. It's correct. But you're mixing up promos. See above.
