PM! You rock. I'm a little late though for the $30 referral reward as I had someone sign-in on Nov 18. 😊

[smp99]

Working from home I have dropped down to the $15 plan. These add-ons are great for those few months I might go over.

[pkaraa]

Amazing news. Thanks.

Waiting for the text now. 

[LeePublic]

Yippie! It's that time of the year! 😀 Thank you so much PM and @J_PM!

[SD08]

Thanks to PM for the holiday gifts.  I have family members with low data plans where this will come in handy.  My own plan only has provincial calling, so more Canada-wide or international minutes are always welcome.  The more the merrier!

[Saucisse]

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

And the friend still receives the one time $10 credit for using the referral code??

There's  no change to the credit amount that the new referred customer receives.

[walker1]

Why wouldn't they? It's been like that since day one.  I don't think that they'd mess around with that perk.

"Customer will receive a $5 bill credit/month for 6 months, for a total of $30 as long as the referred friend stays with us"

And the friend still receives the one time $10 credit for using the referral code??

[Tiprix]

That sounds great 🙂, Thank you PM!

Hopefully, no one thinks it's spam...

[kaytus]

That's wonderful news! Another Holiday Gift for everyone 

[hTideGnow]

Now, this becomes a real Tradition here.  

Merry Christmas to all!!

[Triguy]

This is good to hear.  Third year in a row for freebies for both new and existing customers.

[Dunkman]

That is great news.  Thanks for the holiday gift.  Happy Holidays everyone.

That's wonderful news! Another Holiday Gift for everyone 🎉🎄🎉

[softech]

Great news  and Thanks @J_PM  and PM!!

I am actually glad that PM is using SMS to notify customers and have them response to get the gifts.   Some users missed the gifts last 2 times as they are not frequent Community visitors and they weren't even aware of this.  With this change, there is pretty much 0 chance that they can miss this time (except for those who decided to block PM's text  🙂 )  

[J_PM]

@ShawnC13 

Great question! You reply YES to receive both the data & international calling gifts. 

Thanks, 

Jade 

[ShawnC13]

@J_PM, this is great news.  Can you confirm that by replying YES both will be received and not YES2 to get both.

@meche 

Add ons whether or not they are purchased, promotional** or gifted will stay on your account until you completely consumed and then they disappear. Both data and minute add ons work the same way. The exception to this rule are US roaming add ons that are 10 day only and start their countdown immediately after purchase.

**Promotional data may be lost if the terms and conditions state that you cannot change your rate plan. However 99% of the time despite changing plans this data will remain on your account but is YMMV.

[Dunkman]

@meche 

Which plan are you on?  

If your plan is not grandfathered (ie. still available), you could change your plan to a lower data allotment plan (at next renewal) to use up some of these extra data add ons.  Save some money for a few months and then change back to your original plan.  If your plan is not available anymore, then don't change it since you can't get it back.

Hi All,

I have a few data add-ons I've received over the years being a customer (please see below).

• $0 Holiday Giveaway: 2GB add-on
• 1GB Promo

Are these one time use only, or reoccurring monthly? To date, I've never exceeded my monthly data usage so haven't had to use them yet.

Aside from the two below, I have another that very explicitly states "5GB one-time data bonus", but the others are more ambigous.

Anyone know?

Thanks!

They're yours to use when needed. They'll stay on your account as long as your account is active. Once you use 'em...they're gone...not recurring.

[Anonymous]

 @meche : One-time - not recurring. Add-ons just stay on the account until consumed. Unlike almost all other carriers except Koodo.
