I agree fourc days is too long to wait BUT then how can that be because the promo just started two days ago on the 23rd. In my case within 24 hrs all went smooth got my new number and also my referral friend and I both got our $25 account credit.
The promo just started a couple of days ago — I don’t think the moderators work on weekends- but I’m not surre. Just wait until Monday and see what happens.
No, moderators work on weekends as well.
What are the Contact Support’s hours of operation? Monday - Friday 9AM (EDT) - 9PM (EDT) Saturday - Sunday 9AM (EDT) - 7:00PM (EDT)

@forgetfulsim, so my response above tells you what will happen. I answered for both an in store, and online activation, as you didn’t specify originally how the activation was done.
I just made the switch to Public, and was wondering how to get the $25 credit for myself and my referral friend. I was assuming that it would automatically be added, but i guess not.
To clarify, my friend activated outside the store - online on our personal computer. The sim was purchased from London Drugs without activation.
PM acknowledged I refered a friend through text this morning (referral activated last night), however, my account only got credited $1. "Refer-a-Friend Reward ($1)"

I’m told London Drugs has a back to school 25$ activation credit until sept 1 that is separate from the referral one don’t know if they are stackable
No. They are not stackable.
LD rep login to their portal to activate a plan for you which is different from the online activation form. PM knows where is the activation coming from.
When London Drugs activate the sim there is still a place to enter the name and phone number of the person who referred you so you should still get the 25$ credit as I was told I would so it’s all good you just have to have the phone number of the person who refers you when you go in to activate😀
Hopefully, you will get the $25 credit. But, if you activated instore, you will likely get the regular $10 friend referral credit and the LD promo $25. This promo is for online activation only. Your friend will likely only get the ongoing $1 credit, not $25.
I referred my frnd and I got the monthly $1 credit, but i didn't receive the $25 credit 😞
Unfortunately, if your friend did instore activation, you only get $1 credit. It has to be online activation for $25 for both parties. However, for your friend, it was a better deal for them to do instore activation.
How long has it been since your friend activated? As per the terms of the promo, the $25 credit can take up to 72 hours after activation to appear in your account.

If Public Mobile is so busy and can’t handle the jobs they don’t have to sell the service to people and waste people time to stay for 10 days for a moderator to give an answer for every minutes and day we are paying for the service so if you answer late you have to credit the clients for the time they spent without having a technical support, it is more than 48 hours my phone is not working because you want to charge more or your system has problem and no psy cares about the messages send to the moderators, we have to ask Telus the owner of this company to see how they only charge people without rendering the services!
