Earning points is nice but not really a factor.

My basic $15 plan just renewed and I noticed that it earned .75 points. At this rate it would take 20 months to earn the minimum 15 points required to cash in for a $15 account credit. After reading several disgruntled posts now I understand how they must feel when their accounts were switched to the points  from the reward system.

@Wayworn you get points from the community when you post or answer regardless of solutions. In your Rewards account its called Give Back.

Adding, Give Back points are added around the 6-8 day of the current month, for the prior month. 

There will also be an Announcement with the totals.

Yaeee - just received 2 points!

@Wayworn  The community reward formula is secret but certainly includes posting helpful comments, receiving kudos and solutions.

You need to make it to the top 50% to get any points. So helping here and there doesn't cut it

I just switched from Telus where I was paying over $100/month and getting way less. Even without the rewards points I’m so much further ahead with PM. Rewards isn’t what brought me over but if I earn enough for $15 credit that’s a bonus!

Free money is free money. I wasn’t getting any rewards at all with Virgin, so I think this is great!

@Wayworn Telus has $100 yearly plan unlimited calls and texts ($8.34 per month), cheaper than $15 plan, with point $13.75

I thought that we would receive a loyalty 10 points = $10 /year.

With regards to helping others -- I have been posting since almost day one since my plan started . My account just renewed a couple of days ago and haven't been credited any "helping others "points. Are points only credited if one's solutions are accepted?

Yes, you are about right. But you have to add 10 points at anniversary so it will decrease 20 months a bit.

So, unless you have a bunch of referrals and do not participate in Community then 'discount' is tiny...

Thanks - I stand corrected - it seems that every year (12 months) I would get a totally free month. So my $15 plan after cashing in my annual points only will cost me $13.75/month with some points to spare. Actually not bad for a plan with unlimited texts and unlimited Canada wide voice.
