Balance transfer

[YJG]

Hi,

PM sent me a text message telling me I got a promo plan from it's sister-brand Koodo and asked me to switch. If I switch to Kodoo, can I transfer the balance with PM over? I currently paid until July 29th. Thanks.

@Korth yeah some of the migration offers had a 1-time credit offered.  That's what I got, and it was applied before my first invoice, so I owed nothing and still had credit left over.  Another variation I saw was broken into 4 credits to be paid out over 4 billing cycles as you mentioned.  Anyone that was promised a credit and didn't receive one should follow up with Koodo customer service for sure.  I forgot that some of the early migration offers (last year even?) didn't have a bill credit component, right?

Previous Koodo migration offers to PM customers included sign-on incentives meant to offset money they'd already spent on prepaid PM service.  Many people asked whether their PM account balances could/would be transferred, and the answer was always "ask the PM mods if they can do it", "ask the Koodo reps if they can do it", or "no, it just can't/won't be done".

Further to what @srlawren has already said, if you do decide to migrate, one strategy would be to sign up at the last moment so as to minimize overlap.  Signing up online is a good strategy to delay the activation on the Koodo end by a few days, especially if action is taken on Friday.  The web store which ships out activated SIM cards do not work on weekends. Online activation saves $30 over going to a retail outlet.  These are a few strategies to help ease the impact.  Once there, taking advantage of targeted hardware promos is another way of making the transition worthwhile.

@YJG I can save you the trouble of contacting the moderator team:  the answer will be no.  The migration offer you received probably also included an activation credit (I'm not sure of the details of the current offers, but all the past ones seem to have) that is intended to help cover any losses due to unusued plan days, accumulated "availalbe funds" balance, etc.

Hi, I don't think you can transfer your balance over Koodo. But 

I recommend you send a private message to the moderator team and ask them to investigate.  include your account# or phone#, as well as your account PIN (if know) to help speed up the identification process.
