In my case, I bought some Canadian Tire gift cards at discount, which I'll be using to buy PM vouchers to top up my account prior to renewal. I'm already on autopay with a credit card, but hey, If I can get a further discount, why not? 
I have no fingers crossed and no worries of an impending calamity. Sure the software bugs combined with an onslaught of activations during the promotion created pure chaos. Renewal is normally occuring thing that happens every day. We don't see a ton of daily complaints about broken renewals, just the odd one here and there.
In the event that something does go wrong, I am going to remain calm as I have instructed others to do. I know how to use the private messaging system. I have confidence in the people following up on these private messages. The glass is at least half full.

@Ludditedon't scare me.
I have a plan switch from a grandfathered plan to the new $40/4GB promo coming up on January 23rd. Curious if everything will go through smoothly.
Biggest potential issue is loss of phone service. This seems to occur more frequently when the new plan is LESS expensive than the old one. In the other direction, one sometimes gets money taken for the new plan but the old plan is activated. In my time here, Public Mobile has fixed every issue.
On the other hand, it's always best to be prepared. I(gnore the bits that don't apply.)
