Hello,
I used to have the $25 plan.
Because I had this phone for many years plus my referrals. I used to pay after all applicable rewards, $19.55 per month, tax included.
Without changing my plan. Since May 2024, I have been paying $28.74, tax included. I only see that now because I go through my payments quarterly. Can someone please let me know what happened?
Thank you.

you might have missed the announcement back in March about the rewards system change
PM retired the old reward system earlier (May 2024) and everyone migrated on the new Public Points system.
https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/bc/get-help/articles/move-to-public-points
With this new system, you pay the full amount first (with the Available Funds on your My Account or via your credit/debit card on the system), and hence you see a higher charge now.
After renewal, PM will give you the points to your reward account within 48 hours. Once you collected 15 points, you can redeem $15 bill payment yourself to bring the next payment down. Or you can also use points to buy add-ons with a discounted price
For how to earn points with Public Points,
I have to admit Public Points rewards is not as good as the Legacy rewards system, but you are still saving money, just in a slower pace
Here is more information about the rewards system migration:

because PM moved everyone onto Public Points. You no longer get the saving when you renew. with the new rewards system, you pay full amount, but earn 5% back in points. Collect 15 points and redeem for a $15 bill credit
