Hey guys, ive joined PM today but had no idea about this referral bonus and overlooked it. Any chance i can add my buddy as referral after my account been activated ? Thank you.
I'm not sure how PM knows what is Online vs In Store activation but I suspect there is a different web page for stores - When I was at Walmart and added an account, I took a look at the page and it looked the same. but it could have been a different web address.
Any ways, the Walmart rep may have used the consumer page to activate.
If you activate at Walmart, you still get the normal referral reward ($10 credit for the new customer, $1/30 days for the referrer, for as long as the new customer remains a customer).
The $25 promo credit for referrer and new customer is online only, yes. I haven't heard of anyone getting that from an in-store activation though.
Clarification - This is only for online activations???
So anyone who did it at Walmart and actually got referral was a glitch?

@SSB, but your friend didn’t get the available $25 ONLINE activation credit, because the store activated it for you. You got a sweet deal for yourself in the free SIM and $35 in credits.
your friend however, only gets $1 credit, albeit every 30 days, as long as you remain a customer.
If you purchased the SIM card, and activated online, you and your friend would have both received $25 dollars.

So, as a recommendation to everyone, print this out and take to the Walmart or Wow Mobile or London Drugs, and tell them you want the SIM card, without activation.
I've found calling ahead is the best way to avoid a hassle - then you can confirm they'll sell you just the SIM without requiring activation before you show up.
Of course, when you show up at Walmart or London Drugs any day before Sept. 6, you might decide to activate there anyways for the in-store promo (free SIM + $25 credit + $10 referral credit). 😉
I checked my activation credits from activating with London Drugs.
I received free SIM promo
received $25 credit (after 72 hours)
also can verify what @cappaj said, as I also did receive a $10 credit (after 72 hours) for being referred to PM. Actually my credits were within 48 hours 😊, great customer offer for b2school.
@cappaj referring to his post on page one that’s LD (retail) had the promo of extra $10 for referral on activation, not the 25$ one for online referral, as yes they have a $25 activation credit anyways.
That’s all I wanted to clarify because no one at my London Drugs knows about the credit @cappaj was referring to.
@SSB, the instore LD $10 activation promo will not be usable, if you want the $25/$25 referral. The $25/$25 referral is for Online only activations when friend referring.
Lets say my account is currently suspended but still in the 90 day window.
Can I use this number to refer someone else thereby getting the $25 credit. And then let's suppose that credit is enough to kick start the plan again. Would this actually happen?
It's not mine, but I know someone in this situation.
I have not received any $25 credit despite two days have passed since the activation of my refered SIM. I have received $1/month refer a friend discount but no $25 one time credit
Please someone get in touch with me..........I can't open the account and I need a new phone..........please get in touch with me as soon as possible..........call me on my cell.......thank you............
In the announcement post, the terms of the referral promo state that the activations must be done online (i.e. not in-store). Your walmart referrals won't qualify for the $25 referral credit, but should get the non-promo $10 credit instead, and you will get the $1 per 30 days reward.
If your friends activated in store, you will NOT get this credit. You will get the ongoing $1 monthly referral credit. Your friends had to activate online at HOME for this promo to be valid. However, your friends did get a better deal at Walmart since they got a free SIM card, $25 credit and your $10 friend referral credit.
this is excacly what i did ... they force me to activate right away. simply says you dont have time ( if you new user and need a number) or say you dont know your account number ( if you transfer / port number )
