Hey Community,
We have an important announcement to share with our subscribers who are currently enrolled in our old Rewards program.
We’re making changes to our rewards program and are sharing how these changes impact some of our subscribers. Starting in May, we’ll be retiring our old Rewards program and moving all subscribers to our Public Points™ program.
We launched the Public Points™ program in January 2022 to provide our subscribers with more ways to earn and spend rewards, with greater flexibility. As part of our commitment to continuously evolve our products and services, it's time to retire our old Rewards program and shift our focus on enhancing our Points program.
To show our appreciation for your continued loyalty, subscribers on our old Rewards program will receive a special thank you. We'll send you a text message when it has been added to your account by March 31st.
We’re excited to continue providing you, our valued subscribers, more opportunities to earn and spend rewards with Public Points™ moving forward.
To learn more about your move to Public Points, check out our FAQ here.

After taking far too long to consider my other options, i have left PM today, almost entirely because of this disloyalty program.
See y'all, was fun whilst it lasted. 🖖

Taken my time, evaluating my options and using up some leftover data, but the above - flushing your loyalty scheme down the toilet, being so disloyal to your most loyal fans and customers - is the main reason why I have left PM today. See ya over on fizz, referral code NLGET if you wanna join me. 🖖

hi @Suee you don't need to go if other carriers do not have a better deal. And remember, if other carrier provides you with the same plan and same price, you still save 5% here

@gweilo human are selfish. People here tried to band together.
Sadly, PM only selectively settle small number of customers. And the most vocal one has been quiet since. Another still active member, but he is too busy "helping" his pocket for more monthly community rewards and ignore us. Collective settlement? only if people are not selfish

Could have done that, the best thing would have been if the plans became more expensive and were cheaper elsewhere would have been to leave PM. The plans still are the best out there for what my family needs.

If they did get a deal I am sure there was some sort of agreement that they weren't to say what they got.

So, these guys organized the rebellion, asked us all to make formal complaints, they got great settlement and they ran away and leave us here? We helped you and you were the only one got the prize and none dare to share????????
@Wolfcore @RetiredGuy1 @Chalupa_Batman , you owe us an answer. Especially @Chalupa_Batman , you are still active in the community , don't hide
10-04-2024 02:32 PM
HI @pm-smayer97
from the couple replies, look like not many good news
but I am think some got a one time credit to settle the case , i think @Chalupa_Batman has a "good deal" out of it
Also, I think @Wolfcore and possibly @RetiredGuy1 got something out of it too
10-04-2024 02:25 PM
So, after all this, did anyone ever get a positive result by going to the CCTS? I know that they took on many cases if presented correctly, which cost PM each time, but what was the outcome?

I understand and respect PM's right to run their business anyway they want (It's their prerogative). As a consumer, I feel uneasy when a rewards program that motivated to try PM in the first place are replaced by a less attractive option. I also dislike being disrespected and feed propaganda attempting to convince me and everyone else the new rewards are much better (If they are much better, I'll figure it out on my own). Such actions would make me distrust any company. My wallet is not the only consideration when choosing a business.
Status: 3 lines ported out and 3 more to go. Next one will be ported out in 2 days.
PS: I received an email from PM today with the subject "We’re prepared to win you back with this special offer". I opened the email, scrolled all the way down and clicked the unsubscribe link :-). When I leave, I do not go back.

Total downgrade. Used up almost all my points for a free months that ends in 2 days, and almost all my accumulated data and hours. Just ported out my phone # for a better and cheaper plan... Public Mobile can kiss my ...

hi @Jreh87 don't leave yet, redeem the rewards first
you probably using the rewards link from the popup when you login , go to rewards directly here
https://myrewards.publicmobile.ca/
but you have 3 accounts, so browser cache might be a problem. So, use Incognito/private secret mode to login
09-22-2024 02:23 PM
I’m looking to port our 3 PM lines too. Hilarious thing is I log in and go to the rewards page and nothing loads. Roll FY to PM and Telus. Sayonara.

Well my case at CCTS was closed without any offer from PM so migrating to a new mobile provide has started. 2 line have been ported. Only 4 lines to go. So long PM. I won't miss you.
How come the number of posts keeps going down? (rhetorical question)
