Data being used from add-ons before main plan data used up.

[Hummingbird]

I just checked my plan data usage to see if I am close to using up my monthly amount so that I can TRY to use SOME of my Loyalty "GIFT" (for being forced to change to the new, worse point system) of 240G before the 150 day time limit expires and my " LOYALTY GIFT" disappears.  (Not really a Gift if they attach an unreasonable time limit to use it, especially since I'm having difficulty getting to even "touch" this "gift") and it appears that Public Mobile took some of my 2G data (that is supposed to stay in my add-ons account and not be used until I use up my monthly plan data, AND use up the 240G "limited time gift" first. (If it was truly a Loyalty GIFT, there would be NO time limit to use it up. It should stay in our accounts to be used in the future IF we ever need it! By "we" I mean all PM LOYAL customers who received "Loyalty Gifts"). Has anyone else had data disappear from add-ons that should not have been taken? 

[Hummingbird]

Yup, my plan just renewed  and again I did not even get close to touching my 240G "gift".... Which expires in 7 days! NOT a GIFT!!! Public Mobile should be extending the  "gift" timeline (indefinitely) to all Loyal customers!

True even I am not able to touch it because I am using my new 3 months subcription data. But initially I had to buy an add on all the time because i was paying the least onewith limited data usage which was not enough for me if accidentally I watch a video on data. for GPS use i need to purchase an add on all the time. But it was strange that I notice one thing they have taken off the data amount that i used to get with my initial subcription..it slowly vanished over time without me noticing about it..So yes the point is Ioyalty gift is I cannot touch it until i renew my plan and go for minimum payment back again after I finish my current plan subscription..I want to touch the gift than but unfortunatley i have only 15 days left and my current plan doesnt expire until next month. so its a win for the merchandise not for the users..I wish i can ask for extensions that way I will save 3 motnhs of future subscription if I have calculated it right.

That shouldn't be so. I can confirm that my regular monthly data plan wis all used up for May and it was using the bonus data. So far used 19%.

Then, once the renewal came around one week ago, it stopped taking from the bonus and started using the regular data again. 

I expect this to be the on going cycle until the expiration of said bonus.

@Hummingbird 

have you tried logging in to your account on a laptop ? As soon as you've successfully logged in, you can view the Subscription Usage and also the Add-on Usage dashboards, for up-to-date info.

You can also do it on your cell, but I'm sitting right in front of a 17" laptop so why strain the eyeballs...am I right.

hi @Hummingbird 

submit a ticket and ask support agent to check

[Hummingbird]

@hTideGnow  I haven't even gotten close to using up my main plan data so the bonus data should not be touched. 

[Hummingbird]

The thing i have NOT used up my main plan data ( no where near using it up)  so the bonus data should not be touched at all.

Contacting the CS_Agent has been a waste of time, at least for me. 16 days ago, I sent a message asking which data would be used first. I never got an answer. I got fed up waiting and went ahead and made the plan switch. When I lost the 240GB loyalty bonus data after 2 days, I opened a ticket and sent several more private messages to customer service. 2 weeks and there has been no response. Good luck.

2 weeks ago I switched from a $29 30 GB plan to a $15 0GB plan to try and use some of the 240 GB of loyalty bonus data. DO NOT DO THIS BECAUSE P.M. WILL EVENTUALLY CANCEL YOUR 240 GB LOYALTY BONUS DATA AS A RESULT OF DOWNGRADING! 

The cancellation of the 240 GB bonus data took a few days and during that brief time, I was able to use some of this free loyalty data. For me, I can confirm that the loyalty bonus data was used first while the previous holiday bonus data (6GB which was accumulated over three Christmases) remained untouched. Of course, now that PM has canceled my loyalty bonus data, I have to use my holiday data until I can change my plan on the next renewal. Good luck.

hi @Hummingbird 

the loyalty  bonus data will be gone if you downgrade your plan, this looks like what happened

but support agent could give you another set or data addon for your new plan.  Ask them.  Also, ask them if the data was used in the wrong order
