The Community Reward
How does it work?
Based on your level of involvement with our Community, you can earn up to $20 every 30 days. The amount you are rewarded depends on your contribution level relative to overall contribution, which can change month to month even if you contribute very consistently. You can only ever qualify for one (1) Community Reward in a 30-day period, and you must act in accordance with Community Terms of Service at all times. You can read our Community Terms of Service here.
The following table shows how Community Rewards are allocated:
Who Can Earn Rewards?
To be eligible to earn Rewards, you must have:
1. A Rewards-eligible plan:
- All in-market plans as of January 27, 2015, with the exception of 10-day plans, are eligible for Rewards. Plans offered between May 9, 2014 and January 26, 2015 are not eligible.
2. An active account:
- Your account must be active and in good standing to earn and use Rewards. It cannot be in a suspended or deactivated status. For example: if you earn Rewards and immediately go into a suspended state because of a late payment, you will not be able to use your Rewards until you have made that payment.
- Your Community account must use the same email address as your Self-Serve account in order to receive Community Rewards.
Considerations for Rewards-ineligible Customers
Customers who are on a Legacy / Pioneer or 10-day plan not eligible for Rewards. If you are a Legacy / Pioneer customer and switch to a Rewards-eligible plan, please note:
- Rewards will not be applied retroactively: Rewards will only be earned from the date you switched to an eligible plan.
- Your tenure began when you first activated with Public Mobile. For instance, if you joined 3 years ago on a Legacy plan, and switch to a Rewards-eligible plan, your Loyalty Reward will begin at $3 per 30 days.
- Referral Rewards are not retroactive. Only referrals made after switching to a Rewards-eligible plan will be counted.
How many Rewards can I earn?
You can earn up to your current plan value in Rewards, reducing it to $0. Once you reach the value of your plan, you will not be able to accumulate any further Rewards in that plan period, and you will not be able to save Rewards and apply them to future months.
Here’s an example of how you could get your plan down to $0:
- You are on a $45, 30-day plan
- You have been with Public Mobile for 5 years
- You signed up for AutoPay
- You occasionally help others out in the Community
- You referred 36 friends to Public Mobile who are still active members
You will earn $5 in Loyalty Rewards + $2 in AutoPay Rewards + $2 Community Rewards + 36 referrals at $1/30 days. That’s $45 in total Rewards, and a sweet $0 plan!
When are Rewards applied to my account?
Here are some things you should keep in mind about our Rewards program:
- All earned Rewards are applied to your account on your plan renewal date, before your payment is processed.
- There are exceptions to the above statement:
- Community Rewards are reviewed between the 1st and 6th of every month, and applied to your account after the review period on your payment due date. If your payment due date is during the review period, your Rewards will be applied on your next payment due date.
- If you’ve changed your plan prior to your current plan renewal date, you will receive your Reward credits after you have paid for the new plan, within approximately 24 hours. Rewards will be applied normally from then on.
- If you set up AutoPay at activation, your first AutoPay reward will be automatically credited to your Self-Serve account after activation. After that, you will receive an AutoPay reward at each renewal date before payment is processed.
- Based on the Rewards you have earned in your previous plan cycle, up to four different credits (one per Reward type) will be applied to your account the night of your payment due date.
- If your account is deactivated and you have unused Rewards on it, those Rewards will be lost.
How do I know when I've earned Rewards?
Whenever a reward has been successfully applied to your account, we will send you a text message to let you know. To check the Rewards you’ve earned, log in to Self-Serve and check the ‘My Rewards’ section in the Overview Tab. You can also select the ‘My Rewards’ button and see all the Rewards you’ve earned since joining Public Mobile.
Below is an example of what you would see from the Overview tab, for a customer who has been with Public less than 1 year, and has no referrals:
Below is an example of what the ‘My Rewards’ section looks like, for the same account:
Other Reward Rules
- Public Mobile reserves the right to change all Rewards at its sole discretion and without advance notice.
- The Community Reward offer is subject to the reservation rights of Moderation as described in the Community Terms of Service.

Have you looked into why your data isn't working? Have you setup APN? Has data ever worked?
Do you want Data or you just want to change your plan? You can change your plan with your self serve account just ensure you select change plan at next renewal.
For a credit for the data not working you will need to contact the mods.

@JL9 not sure which issue you're enquiring about since you didn't quote the post you were replying to and/or tag the author.

@Simfang187, I've learned a long time ago, how to manage my data, and right now, on my 90 day plan, having 12 GB/90 days, I rarely use 6GB total.
I don't do updates via cellular data, I don't stream High Quality music / video, and if I want these things, I do it on WiFi at home, or where ever I can find free WiFi.
You don't need more data - you need to manage what you have better.

No you don’t have to keep building it up. It should get the discount off your monthly plan but I think you have to take your card off and when the next monthly due date comes re enter your card info and you should be good to go

I think for the next month you should re register your card again. And there shouldn’t be a problem or take off autopayment and when it’s time again. Then put your card in and from there continue with autopay

FYI @micro-g posted that question 2 days shy of 3 years ago. I'm pretty sure they have worked out the issue by now, or moved on to another provider. Thank you for trying to help, but it isn't necessary in this case.
