@CountyDownIeUk , the contest rules should state that customers need to have a google account in order to be eligible to enter the contest!

@J_PM    I'll also add that perhaps an edit is in order for the value of this prize, i.e., should be $75 (or $50 for Points) and not $45 if 5GB is being awarded?

 

edit:  Nice to know that the add-on data prize won't expire as mentioned in the terms/conditions for those lucky enough to win!

@J_PM 

Thank you for the clarifications. 

 

Would you mind editing the third paragraph of the contest description, because it still lists 5 lucky winner instead of 3 lucky winners. 

 

Many PM users who have viewed this contest announcement since Tuesday may erroneously believe that there are actually 5 prizes to be won rather than 3 prizes unless they clicked on the spoiler link to read the contest rules.

HI @J_PM   so, the winning data has no expiry date?

 

sorry, I have to ask and make sure, what if I win  🤣😁😂

@Patchio Good catch. Rules are correct! 3 lucky winners, each prize is 5GB of data. Typically the add-on is used first. I checked with our self serve team, as I noticed similar questions around expiry. The data should not expire on the account after 12 months. However we've included a timeline for clarity on when the data was applied to the account. 

Patchio

@J_PM 

 

I'm confused.

 

The third paragraph describing the contest mentions 5 lucky winners, while the contest rules section mentions there are 3 winners in total.

 

Which is it, 3 total winners OR 5 total winners?

 

Additionally, if the 5GB data add-on expires in 12 months, how will this affect users who still have non-expiring free data add-ons (collected from previous promotions and giveaways) in their accounts?

 

Would the expiring data add-on be given priority and used up first?

@CountyDownIeUk- Indeed. All iphones require an AppleID. All Androids require a Google account. I have an Android. But my non-mobile machine is not Android.

Ok. I have all Apple Products and we have 2 appleID's in the house. My Telus.net email is gmail and all other emails is the house are gmail. Therefore I have numerous google logins. But since I don't know what the process is by using the google login....what am I losing by doing that sign on?....I won't do it. And the contest clearly states that, that is the process. So I am losing out because of lack of knowledge/trust of the google sign in...and I am ok with that. If this contest is for both Telus and PM then I would assume that on the Telus side it is for Telus prepaid only. But who knows...I haven't checked maybe Telus points can buy the same thing. In my opinion only the Google sign in does not include every PM account holder. While I feel there is more good about PM this one is NOT. So I will just move on as Telus has some annoying points too and it all goes on to deaf ears. Time to get over it and get the best use out of PM services  and move on. I like the freebies that only require a "YES" reply vs a contest. And that does affect my loyalty.  

 

Nor am I going to enter this contest on my phone that still requires the additional login. I don't wish to log into yet another Google thing.

That's your choice and some will support and some not. 

 

iPhone owners and non-mobile users are being discriminated against here.

I don't get that iPhone users....can do the google sign on what is restricting them because they have an AppleID? And non-mobile users??? not a user then why would they want 5GB???? It's non Gmail users that are the losers here. 

 

The real point is.....this contest is not inclusive of all PM paying customer account holders. 

 

Or people with privacy and data tracking concerns where they can at least have some control over it.

I don't get that but it's ok....@countydownieuk is  leaving soon. 

 

So yes Community_QA I won't "join". Everybody else can enjoy that slight odds improvement by my not participating.

OK....

This is among the sketchiest contests that I have ever seen. If it wasn't an official forum link, I would think it's a phishing scam. The inbox spammer scammers don't need any new ideas!

@dust2dust businesses are free to choose their partners, there is no discrimination here.  don't like it, don't join.  Simple

Of course it would all be valid @J_PM . I know that. It's just the usual problem of copying standardized text. This is Public Mobile. The rules say Telus. We're not eligible according to the letter of the rules. If you want to dissolve Public Mobile and roll it into Telus Mobility as your recent press release said about everything being under the wing of Telus Mobility then that makes this thing called Public Mobile a fictional, non-existent entity. But I'm not a high-powered Telus corporate lawyer.

Thanks for the reply. It's always nice to hear from you and updates and "keep the conversation going".

@dust2dust as I mentioned below, since Public Mobile is a part of TELUS we use the same rules.  Happy to update if it’s still unclear. 

@dust2dust 

 

I started to do it. Then my google login showed up. Then I am thinking what am I getting into and what information am I giving away?. So I did not and will not pursue. Seems unfair as we are not all with a google account and even if you are, you can apply and not be a customer. Makes more sense to log into your My Account or the Community although non customers can be in the community but more of a chance they would be over a google login.

Well...a fine contest for...TELUS Mobility customers. Too bad none of us here are eligible for this contest. Not sure why they're marketing a TELUS Mobility contest over here in poor old Public Mobile.

And yes excluding out non-google-account holders. Discrimination?

Nice to see a new contest! 12 month expiry for the prize is new, hope this isn't the new standard for all future data addon prizes.

 

I also don't like the Google sign-in requirement, I think I say this every time...but  ¯\_(- _ -)_/¯

@J_PM 

 

If I have a number of data add ons......does this one get used first or do I have to burn through all others before this one can be used? Why not just make it like all others.....no expiry. 


Good question @CountyDownIeUk , I was wondering if PM can make sure that data can consumed first as well

Why do I have to sign into my google account to proceed? Not everyone has one, do they?

Makes more sense to sign on to My Account??

Google or Community Account doesn’t verify you as a customer with  an account to add the 5gb to. 


@CountyDownIeUk , I thought I was doing something wrong when I clicked on the link & google page opened asking me to sign into google! I don’t have a goggle account so that leaves me out! I agree it doesn’t verify me as a customer!
