I refered 2 new accounts on Aug 30, bought the sim card at walmart and activated there. Why I didn't get $25 reward?
This promo of $25 for referrer and new customer is for online activations only.
In store, the Walmart promo is a free SIM and $25 promo credit for the new customer, plus the regular $10 referral credit. As the referrer, you just get the regular $1/30 days for your referrals who activate in store.
For the promo for the referred person going into Walmart is better.
Online activation gives $40 in value.
$25 activation
$25 referral
-$10 for paid sim card
Walmart activation gives $45 in value.
$25 activation
$10 referral
$10 sim card value (given free)
You are better off going the free sim in store activation than paying for sim and going it yourself. Now if sims were free then online would be king.
Maybe offer to get your friend or referral a $5 gift card if they do it online or literally hand them $5 to make the difference null and void. 😉
I think the one situation where online referral can still be better is if you are doing self-referral or are being referred by someone in your household, and all the bills are being paid out of the same pot anyways.
Should stop using 3rf party retail as they keep screwing up. Should only be using Telus owned/leases/rented locations to do any form of retail presence. Would be far fewer issues.
To share my experience with getting a SIM card from Walmart:
Just order ONLINE.
I told my friend to get a SIM card from Walmart without activation, and he was told by the sales there that he could activate in store and still get the $25 credit reward each. My friend got swayed and I ended up getting only $1/30day referring reward, with no $25 credit.
I was pissed, though it doesnt make a difference for the referred friend...
signed up at Walmart and received $25 Credit plus $10 referral credit.
BUT if you signed up on line you would have received $25 Credit plus $25 referal credit.
It is confusing with two different promotions going on at the same time.
There is this promotion with online, at home activation which gives both parties $25 referral credit (need to buy own SIM card).
The other promotion is the Walmart and London drugs in store activation which gives you free SIM card, $25 credit and regular $10 friend credit.
Unfortunately, these promos do not stack together. For new customers, it is better to do in store activation. For established PM customers like us, it would nice to refer with this online promo since we also get the $25 credit, instead of the normal $1 monthly credit.
It is now possible to add the referral number. You will need to contact moderator with the relevant information. Wait 1-2 days for moderator to respond.
Success migration from Chat* to PM coz this ad. But til' now haven't got referral bonus already.
1) Promo credits can take up to 72 hours to show in your account (though usually within 24 hours).
2) Did you sign up online? This promo is only for online activations - if you signed up in store it's the regular referral reward of $10 for the new customer and $1/30 days for the referrer.
Thank you for the information .....once I buy the phone....where do I go to set up my phone and activate it.........

Everyone here has been beyond reasonably helpful and have provided all the details that you need. Particularly cappaj several posts above.
You already have a SIM. I assume you have an active account. Remove the SIM from your broken phone and insert it into whatever new phone you get. You MIGHT have an issue with the card size. We'll cross that bridge when you get there.
Yes. It's that easy. You got here somehow before. Surely you can get it going again. Unless somebody else did it all for you before.
LIKE I MENTIONED ONCE I BUY THE PHONE............HOW DO I CONNECT WITH PUBLIC SINCE NO SERVICE IS AVAILABLE...................PLEASE ANSWER ...URGENTLY
Maybe be your phone is locked and you need to get it unlocked first
if the sim is activated properly I’m not sure what else it could be
hiw did you activate the sim? I’m store or online?
You will also have to purchase a Sim card and then follow the activation instructions on the PM website. If the later is not possible then just visit a Telus kiosk or go to Walmart and ask for help.

@cappaj, in your message, you said the little ad said to check the forum for details.
its not Public Mobile’s fault if you don’t read the details when you’re told where to find them.
Well, you're barely told where to find them - the Community forum is confusing for people who don't normally come here.
I'm not saying people who were confused deserve to get the credit or something - just that it wouldn't be too hard for PM to reduce that confusion, and I guess have less disappointed customers?

You can sign up to Public Mobile in store at several retailers - Walmart, WOW mobile boutique, London Drugs, and K-Mobile are all options. Just show up in person and ask to sign up with Public Mobile- they'll help you activate your account and give you a SIM card. As long as you have a phone you can put the SIM into, you'll be set.
