@Samanthaccc, as this is only a day or 2 old, your funds are still being processed, as the rewards will be seen within 72 hours.  Please understand that they are most likely very busy processing many of these promos.

Anybody who has problem you can make complaint on CCTS then you will get a fast response by someone from public mobile.

don’t waste your time by writing a message for a moderator they just want to have profit now instead of supporting their clients.

@najafi, As @SD08 mentioned, if you activate in store, you are not eligible for the Public Mobile promo.  However, there are promos currently running at London Drugs and Walmart that might be more beneficial.

Just online by themselvs?


@najafi

Yes, you should activate from your own computer/device.  There were reports from people getting the credit anyway from in-store activations on the previous iteration of this promo, but those were exceptions.  If you activate in-store and don't get the credit, it should not come as a surprise, and I would not expect PM moderators to "fix" that, as the promo condition clearly stated "online only."

Any 90 day or 30 day plan (big or small) would qualify.

That is correct, has to be done by yourself via online, in store activations are not eligible.

@najafi

There are two different promotions going on presently.  

1.  If your friends activate online at home, both you and your friend will get $25 credit each.  Your friend would need to buy a SIM card ($10) to activate at home.  

2.  If your friends activate at London drugs or Walmart, they will get a free SIM card, $25 credit and $10 friend referral (from you).  You will just get $1 ongoing monthly credit (no $25 credit).  

 

For you, it would be better for your friends to activate online at home.  For your friends, it would be better for them to activate instore.

Yes it is, as long as you do the activation online instead of in-store.

@themindfulgirl

Yes, it would be covered by this promotion.

Good to know. Thanks for the help.

Just it's not instant. I think it shows up the next day. The maximum amount of time I think is 72 hours. Mine was a $10 credit only when I did it on Saturday and on Monday.

There was a second month free promotion if you went through WoW Mobile but I'm not sure if it's still running anymore. It might have ended on August 20 or 21st.

I believe it does. It counted as a referral for me. Same credit card, address everything. Just different name and different phone number. I don't think you can put two numbers under the same account so it has to be a separate account. I did it and I got a referral credit and also a monthly reward.

Does adding a family member, whom I'll be paying the bill for using the same CC, count as a referral too? Thanks.

Ok --thanks --- thought that it would have been an instant automated credit. Will wait and hope all goes well. Thanks again.

Credit will be in your account within 72 hours (usually 24 hours).  If beyond 72 hours, need to contact moderator.
