@olive8997  Did you recieve a text about it and it asked you to reply YES ?

 

If you did after you reply YES you should have received a text confirmation and it's automatically applied to your account. It would show under My rewards section.

 

If you didn't get a text. Try texting YES to 4911. See what happens.

 

Otherwise contact customer service agents.

@Kris11      As has been mentioned many times in this thread already, you can first try by texting YES to 4911.   If you don't receive a response back (almost instantly) saying the gifts have been added to your account, then you'll need to submit a ticket to customer support via the chatbot to have them applied manually to your account, you can use this link:  https://widget.telus.tiia.ai/publicmobile/publicmobile.html

 

Second option if you run into problems with the chatbot is to send  a private message to CS_Agent here:  https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/notes/composepage/note-to-user-id/22437

Before you contact a CSA try this. 

Text the word YES to number 4911. 

Hi @gruftie  most of us already got it.  Yes, there has been issue but I will take the little hiccup as it's free  🙂

 

Open a ticket with PM and they will add it back for you.   click on the Bubble on the lower right or directly at : https://publicmobile.ca/chatbot

@gruftie  You don't have to buy them like last year. After your reply to the text. You should receive a confirmation text and the system automatically applies it to your account.

 

Can you look under the My Data and add-on section to see if they have been added to your account?

 

If not contact customer service agents.

I am getting most annoyed and frustrated by the messages I get from PM offering free data and calling add ons . The text says just enter the letters YES in the reply and the response comes back incorrect entry. I then go to the My Account page and buy add ons and the page offers every add on under the sun but no promotional data/tel. If PM offers a deal then deliver without frustrating the customer. This is not good business ethic!!

hi @boilerman ,  could have been missed, but you can still send to 4911.  It should be a faster way to get the bonus than opening ticket with CS Agent.  


Send YES to 4911, if nothing back immediately, contact a CSA.

@boilerman 

Unless you are a new customer who has to do nothing to recieve them you don't need to recieve the text to ask customer support to apply them to your account.


@boilerman wrote:

@boilerman you will need to submit a ticket to Public Mobile Customer Support Agents (CSA) to let them know you were not provided them yet.

Methods to reach CSA previously posted by others.

@boilerman 

If you were going to get a text it would have sent by December 15th but if you got missed you just contact customer support as indicated by @BeachNBeer  in the preceding post.

 

Edit:

Ok others were too quick....a couple posts ago or either of @esjliv  or @hTideGnow 's instructions work too.

Hi @boilerman   just try to text short code 4911 with body YES.  If you get a reply back from PM , good, then you will have the bonus on your account shortly.

 

If you don't get a reply within an hour, open a ticket with PM support using the Chatbot.   Click on the Bubble on the lower right or directly at : https://publicmobile.ca/chatbot

@boilerman  well, if you activated within the week, wait a bit longer. 

 

If you were already a current customer or activated over 1 week ago, try texting YES to 4911.

 

See what message you receive, then check Self Serve under your Overview account.

They should look like this:

IF still nothing, submit ticket to CSA for your freebies.

HI @Tony89   , it is not too late.  Every active customer will get this one time 2GB data and 500 Long Distance minute

 

Reply YES to the text, you should get a reply from PM shortly saying they are added.  You can login to My Account to confirm.  If you don't see those bonus added to your account after 72 hours, open a ticket with PM and they will add it back for you

Reply to the text with YES for the 2gig and 500 long distance minutes to be applied to your account.

 

The 2 gig is a one time add-on. It will stay on your account until used up. Once your plan data is used then the 2gig will kick in till the month ends. Then plan data will be used first and the remaining 2gig will stay in background until needed to be used again.. once all done then the data add-on disappears
