No your referral code is valid as soon as you activate. Or do you mean the referral code you tried to enter when you activated?

Do you need like a specific time to give out your referal code? Cause mine does not work when I first bought my plan.

Does the 1gb of data with your current plan not serve your needs? Do you need 2 extra GB? Or even 4gb? The same amount of data that is on promotion is $5 more with the $40/5gb plan. You are $2 in loyalty rewards ahead of the new activations so you would be paying $3 more than they are for the same amount of data per month. Come and participate in the community a few times a moth and you can easily earn $1 or $2 community reward. That will put you paying $1 more.....one referral reward away from paying the same price as that friend you refer with this promotional plan.
But....you have the flexibility to change plans unlike those on the promotional plan because if they change plans they are just like you....they don't get the bonus plan data anymore.
How much data do you really use each month? You may find with some monitoring and some data saving tips a downgrade go the $15 plan might work for you with a $5/500min add on and a $15/1gb add on to supplement it. Hopefully some "more the merrier" campaign free gifts from pm at xmas and you will start $10 a month rather than paying an extra $10 month is in your future.
Monitor your data usage, hang out in the community to learn more about how to save, manage your service and account, how to refer and earn a community reward. We can get you on the path of saving more rather than paying more....

All mobile carriers are like this... They only look at the new activation number. You can jump to another provider to take advantage of the new deal.. then couple months later, you will be saying the same thing (why no more good promo for existing customers)
I guess porting is easy enough. If you see a good promo elsewhere, take advantage. Go to a kiosk to activate to get the free sim and take the promo... couple months later, jump to another provider when you see another good deal (or maybe you will jump back to PM.. at that time, there might be 10GBBONUS.. haha.. i wish). No need to show loyalty.. just go with the promo.. and price 🙂

What plan are you on?

But if you mention and give referrals to five new customers that you talk into this new plan you'll get five bucks a month off your bill ... That would have you halfway to paying for 2 gig of data wouldn't it ? 😉 😀

@kkwoo : I have 3 accounts here. My original main. One that I got on a promo that I use as my data account. Another I got just for fiddling and testing things that I keep alive every ~4 months.
If you want to keep your number you can also port out and back into a new account. People have done it. iirc for about a net loss of about $20 (that might not be exact). It's up to you. But you would also lose accumulated loyalty time and any referrals.

There are huge disincentives to churn an old account to take advantage of deals intended for new activations only. As long term customer, I just tuned out these deals so I don't get upset.

@kkwoo : This place often gives gifts to their existing customers. Most providers want to entice new customers. Few providers do these for their existing customers.
You can always start a new account.
