Hey Community,
From November 15th, 2018 until January 1st, 2019, you and your friend can each get a $25 credit when you refer them to Public Mobile and they activate online.
Get the full scoop below.
Taking advantage of this promo is easy. Just follow these steps:
As a Public Mobile customer you need to:
Be a good pal and refer a friend to Public Mobile.
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.
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.
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.
The one-time $25 credit will be applied to their Self-Serve account within 72 hours of activation.
FAQs and terms and conditions are below. Happy referring!

@VanHammer, Either way, If YOUR phone number was entered as a referer during someone's sign up, YOU ARE entitled to a referral bonus/credit. At least $1/mth, and perhaps a bonus. If your number WAS entered, but you do not see any sort of credit, then you need to contact the moderator team and ask them to investigate & correct the situation.

Yes, however we used the owners laptop..(a friend of mine) however that would make sense...he was the 1 who recomend that we could get the the credit..perhaps he was mistaken
I just signed up yesterday afternoon and 10.01am I recieved my credit! yay! super happy to be with PM so far. Now to get a couple of refferals myself.....
I was not aware of this reward when I reffered a friend. My friend did not activate her account online, instead it was done in a store. Is there any way we can still get the $25 reward for each of us?
I'll get a new SIM card tomorrow to sign up for PublicMobile. I don't have a friend who can refer me, so if one of you will send me your number per PM we can get sone easy money 🙂
Maybe post here thst you sent me the number so I'm not getting tons of messages

In my experience, you (and your friend) should see the following line in the Self Serve portal under Payment / Transaction History:
$25 Referral Credit/Crédit de recommandation de 25 $
For me, it showed up within 24 hours (actually, more like 10-12 hours) after the sign-up, although I've heard it can take up to 72 hours.
In Plans and Add-Ons / Rewards, there's a "Total Rewards earned" section with a little triangle to the left of it. If you click on the triangle to reveal the Refer-a-Friend Rewards, does your friend's number show up there? And they for sure referred you while activating at https://activate.publicmobile.ca ?
Yes, I also get this message and credit in my account once applied and can see the referee's new number once activated.
@RobertQc acknowledged, and I stand corrected! I just got this message myself (minutes after my post). Transaction history in Self-Serve portal was updated several hours earlier, with text notification to referrer and referree coming simultaneously much later.

@Amantey, to be clear, you won't receive a text indicating you'll receive this "bonus" $25 referral credit. The only text you could expect is the usual referral confirmation from shortcode 100, stating "Public Mobile here. Congratulations! You have successfully referred a friend. If on a Rewards-eligible plan, see the Rewards tab in your Self Serve account." But that's the same text you'd get even without the $25 bonus referral credit, as it refers to the $1/30 day credit for referred friends.

In the past month I have referred 2 friends. I received a text confirming they had signed up and I would receive the $25 bonus. My 3 month plan just renewed and I dis not receive the discount. How do I collect the $50?
You should check your Transaction History in Self Serve for the past month or so. If you received the text saying you would receive the $25, the amount should be in your history. If you are entitled to the reward but don't see it in your history, you can contact the mods. Send a private message to @CS_Agent with your account details and details of your issue.

Hi, my name is Basil Biju. My public mobile number is Removed By Jessica.
I referred my friend to public mobile. I get $1 every month but I did not get the 25$ credit. Same time, I received the text saying that I have succefully referred a friend. Please look into this and credit the amount.
First things first...hit the 3 dots in the top right corner of your post and edit out you phone number...as for your 25$ referral..your friend did not activate online...they must have done it instore...so.. you will recieve..1$ per month referral bonus as long as your friend stays active....not 25$
First a sincere advice. Do NOT write any personal information when posting publicly on this forum — like your name, phone number etc. Write personal information ONLY when writing to moderators directly.
Your issue of credit of $25 can ONLY be resolved by the moderators. Write to them directly by following the steps here. If everything has been done correctly the process of credit goes through seamlessly. I can vouch for that since I recently referred someone to PM and got my credit within 2 days.

This is the fourth time I am emailing to get some response from someone. I reffered a friend last month and my 25$ has yet not been credited. Please do the same.
