Switched to a 5GB plan but didn't received the $5 off. Could put the $5 back into my account.
Thanks.
@Eliza5
Solved! Go to Solution.

@Eliza5 Hopefully, you've contacted customer support and asked to add the missing credits to your account.

@dust2dust Still not available on suspended accounts.
09-22-2022 03:55 PM
@dabr- Also an interesting find. I had also asked about the quick links. While suspended?
09-22-2022 03:48 PM
@dust2dust The screenshot is of this offer from the suspended account but I don't see it ATM on the active accounts, although I'm reasonably sure, that I have seen it on one of those accounts previously.
09-22-2022 03:41 PM
@dabr- Which is why I was wondering if you maybe a different fine print to see when in that state.
Oh! Interesting choice of words. And if you have an account currently suspended what do you get then?

@dust2dust What I find interesting (odd?) is that clicking Change My Plan from this offer, doesn't give you the option to Change at Next Renewal which is available for normal plan changes.
Yes, it seems PM has restored the Quick Links options for non-suspended accounts.
edit: Updating to clarify that suspended accounts no longer give an option to Change at Next Renewal (while suspended).

Wow. Once again Public... well they darn well better honour it. So switch to the one and only 5gb plan and you somehow get either $5 or it's $35. For 3 months. I know I'm not interested but some people like these kinds of offers so good for them.
09-22-2022 03:06 PM
@dust2dust It only appears on the landing page and there's no other information in the other pages.

Correct. There aren't any details anywhere. Clicking on the ad doesn't take you anywhere either.

@dust2dust There's no details available as the next option is to "Change My Plan". Clicking that brings me to available plans and strangely there's only the one option to "change plan now", so I didn't proceed further.
09-22-2022 02:51 PM
@dabr- Can you click through and screenshot all the details.

@computergeek541 Agree, the discount should be/been available for anyone upgrading to 5GB+ data plan.
edit: Just logged into one of the accounts and yes the offer is still there, so PM needs to honour these whether it's an error or not.

@dabr wrote:@Eliza5 You should definitely be submitting a ticket to customers support and ask PM to honour their offer because I've seen that "have we got a sweet deal for you" for 3 months discount of $5 for upgrading to a 5GB plan which has been appearing on/off in a couple of household accounts for several months now. Plus I'm quite sure that I have received an email with this so called "sweet deal" offer.
The banner ad didn't just say for only upgrading. I suspect that it was shown to everyone. I saw it even though I already had a more expensive plan that included more data. The arguement could also be used that the offer should be honor for anyone who switched to a plan that incldues more than 5GB of data. I have done that, but there was no discount.

This had been mentioned here before.

While I was looking at a $15 plan just now I noticed that the quick links are no longer blocked.

So if I have no reason to log in into my account I would (and I do not) not know of this promo?
Kind of silly.... do you log in on a daily basis to your account??? I do not. Absolutely no reason to do that.
09-22-2022 12:54 PM
I have the slimmest piece of memory that I might have seen that pop up. I'm not interested in such an offer so I ignored it and forgot all about it. If I remember it at all. I agree, if someone bites on it then it should be honoured.

Sorry, but there is no $5 off for existing customers to swtich plans that I know of. The banner add in the Self Serve accounts appears to be some type of error that caused a new customer banner add to show up in current customers' Self Serve accounts. In my opinion, Public Mobile should honor this, but that's not up to me. This was asked about before, but unfortunately no information was provided by Public Mobile and there are also no details provided in the advertisement either.

Usually the account monthly bonuses don’t apply if you already had a number/ service at PM.. usually for new accounts only.. could be wrong have’s been following promotions but that’s something for you to look at..
