She singed up on the 25 and some one helped set up online at Walmart and she said we would receive the 25 credit and still is not showing. She put my number in the reference part as well.
The WM rep tricked her in using WM computer. Since the WM rep was login to PM,her activation will be treated as in-store activation.
Nothing you can do now. She will get $10 referral credit within 72 hours. You will get $1/30 days cycles as long as her PM account is active.
My girlfriend singed up for public mobile and she put me down in the referral as I am also a member of public mobile and we both have not received the 25 credit on either of our accounts and it sucks because cant tall to no one ever so its frustrating. You guys should have a person talk to. And if some one could please get back to me about the credit I would appreciate that kinda the whole reason I singed her up and she switched over was because we would get the credit to our account and it never happened again
It takes about 72 hours for the referral credit to be added to your accounts. Online activation is $25 for you and her account. In-store activation is $10 for her.

I just activated my new public line on November 25 and I was refered by my friend. My friend already had the $1.00 credit. however no of us receive the $25.00 credit so far.
Did you activate your PM plan in-store or online?
You only get $10 referral credit for in-store activation
You get $25 with online activation.
You should have received your referral credit $10 or $25 within 72 hours after activation.
Send a private message to moderator if you have not received $10 or $25 credit yet.

oh ok, so if i don;t get the $25 credit. should i not see the $10 credit for in store? I do see that i my number was used as a referal, but i don't see any credits? how can i at least get the $10 credit?
Nope - If your friend used your number as referral and activated in store they will get $10 credit, you will get zero credit up front, but you will get $1 / 30 day credit.
The only time you get an up front credit occurs when they activate at home and only during the special promo period.
@Clarksss. If you referred someone to activate, and they took the in-store promo, you will get $1/30-day or $3/90-day credit each billing cycle. The $10 goes to the new subscriber on the in-store activation, or aka the regular friend-referral deal.

I just got a sim and will activate online tonight. I understand I can get a $25 referral from an existing pm customer. But am I able to refer a friend and get another $25 after I have activated and refer someone?
I don't think so. I'm on a 90 day, auto-renewal plan. I was referred to by someone else and so got a $10 credit, plus $6 for the auto-renewal. My plan renews only next month, and so I was expecting it to be $41 ($25 + $16), but I've seen nothing yet.
@axman1000 Is that the Available Fund on the Overview page of your Self-serve Account still reads $16 and not $41?
Note that they won't send you email after credited to your account. Just shows up in the Available Funds.
I have done 2 activations (for wife & mother) in the last 5 days (one after another 2 days apart). We got email notifications of successful referral right after activation and then the $25 credit showed up next morning.
Thanks again for all the step by step instructions advised by folks here in this great community!
Hi..if you look at the orangy/ yellow highlighted name like your is above,that is who the comment / advise is directed to..the less confusion the better..
Hi! I referred a friend of mine and I got a message too from Public Mobile that I had referred him. This was on Nov 17th. It's 27th now, and I don't see my $25 referral credit. Can someone please help me? Thank you!
@axman1000, Did your friend activate online? The $25 referral credit was only for online activations.If they activated in store, they would get the standard $10 referral credit, and you'll just get the $1 monthly referral deduction.
