2GB Promo - changing phone plans

[Will_Zen]

Hello!

I registered for a new plan/account with Public Mobile and received the current 2GB promo.

If I change the monthly phone plan would the 2GB promo be lost?  Would it matter the value of the phone plan I'm switching to?

Thanks for the help!

@Will_Zen 

sounds like, there might be a possibility, but there is no guarantee... and if you do get to keep it, you might always be in fear of getting your bonus data snatched at any moment.

.... I guess the question is... do you want to risk it?

@Tiprix  - 

I manage more than one account, and referred friends along the way. IF PM wants to follow all the bouncing balls to see which account this happened to, they can go for it. 🤣

I should mention though - that account that downgraded their plan and the data stayed with the account -  was for a activation data ADDON, not a continuous addition of data added to each each cycle (that this current promo is) - so could be totally different.

If the OP asks Customer Support as S_S suggests to do, all they are going to say is what is included in the terms and conditions. Why would they say anything different?

 @Will_Zen : I happen to think it's reasonable for the company to allow plan changes >= $35. Below that doesn't seem reasonable. The terms say no plan changes but it doesn't seem reasonable. Past promos have been clarified on that point.

I think several of us have experienced one-time add-ons staying around. I think it's possible that some promo box one-time data might stay. But I haven't read anybody's experience with recurring data promos.

YMMV as always around here.

@Will_Zen Just pick a plan where you'll have enough headroom for your data usage levels with the data bonus. (i.e. use an average of 4 GB, get the $35 3 + 2 GB bonus plan.)

Based on the offer details:

2GB recurring data bonus will be applied to activations on $35, $40,  $50 and $70 rate plans with the use of the promo code. Offer excludes $15 and $25 rate plans. Bonus data will expire if the account becomes inactive or the rate plan is changed.

Based on PM he bonus data will be lost if the rate plan is changed.

I'm wondering if any warning would be given if you are the process of switching to another plan

I doubt you will receive a warning of the promo that may drop off if you change your plan.

fyi, I do know of another account I activated with a data promo (not this PROMO, mind you) that after changing to the $15 plan a couple months into activating, it DID stay on (but terms said it would not)....shhh, please don't tell PM.

I believe 2GB promo is tied up with particular plan. If you upgrade/downgrade plan with promo you will lose 2GB.

If you read the terms and conditions it does say will be with your account until you change plans somewhere amongst there. 

So your experience may be different, who knows.

Others have reported these promos stay with accounts when plans have changed.

YMMV
