FYI Until September 15, 25000 extra PC Optimum points with $50 purchase or more @ Mobile Shop

[GinYVR]

Commentary: 25000 points = $25 equivalent at Weston stores, so basically 50% off.

So one can get Public Mobile vouchers for existing plans, I think that's the most straight forward.

Okay so 5 SIM cards for $50 are a possibility. I have everything in place except.... I didn’t receive the email. I don’t think I am set up to receive emails from the PC Financial MC so even though I may be in the category that would have received it... actually getting the points to reduce my SIMs to half price will be a gamble. 

Best $ I see on eBay including shipping in Canada is $7.75 Cdn. I ordered one to use an expiring $5 eBay credit and was only charged GST.

Can confirm that points from PC financial were credited after purchasing from the mobile shop.  Points did not show on the receipt and did show in PC optimum as earned from PC financial.

Thanks @AE_Collector  good to know an activation with voucher will accumulate optimum points. Of course it's a bonus for you....maybe pc MasterCard holders should hang out at the mobile shop with a trench coat offering free referral codes...lol...glad it all worked out for you...it was a risk.

Good to know...makes it a nice little promo if you are a pc MasterCard holder and optimum member. Maybe I know someone who I can help out too!

[GinYVR]

@AE_CollectorThe reason why activation came in to play is beause The Mobile Shop only sells vouchers only with an activation. If you want to buy just a coupon, they will ask you to go to the cashiers outside The Mobile Shop (which wont' have a Mobile Shop invoice). I was walking around taking a break from meetings and wasn't in the mood of arguing. One of my family members wanted to switch to Public Mobile, so I just bought it for her.

[darlicious]

Thanks for finally finding the appropriate promotional offer. I had seen the offer somewhere maybe on my pc MasterCard account. Does sound like you can activate a pm account and get the points. Good luck to everyone who gives it a go.

So this 25,000 Optimum Points for spending $50 is only if it is related to a new account? Did anyone get that from the advertisement?

I was going to stop and see tomorrow.

@AE_Collector 

I do not believe this offer is for activations only.  I was told you could buy accessories like cases, cables or SIMs

@LovesToPMPhone into PC Financial and they said it will be added within 7 days, which is pretty normal for PC things. When they gave $99 back for travel it was the same thing.

A quick update. You have to activate an account in order to purchase from The Mobile Shop. I shopped at a Loblaw's The Mobile Shop in TO today.. got a free SIM card (YMMV).. and a $50 load up for a family member.

The 25000 points are not added immediately (so it won't appear on the receipt).

Hope you will get the points!

I’m pretty open about my vision issues, and that reading is somewhat of an issue in my life for various reasons.  I can still speak and hear without difficulty, and would much rather talk to someone, than sms or email, or internet search for written information.

I absolutely agree what takes 30 minutes of texting back and forth can be discussed in a one minute phone call. One phone call to my mom would take a full day of texting !

The ad clearly says with the PC MasterCard.  Bummer for me, I don’t have the credit card for various reasons.

As for the question about finding more info, why are people afraid to use their phones to call the local store?  Just because Public Mobile doesn’t offer customer support via telephone, doesn’t mean the rest of the world doesn’t. Oh boy... the world we live in today, nobody wants to talk anymore.

[AE_Collector]

• So it sounds as though it may be open to anyone with a PC Mastercard. Of course one has to buy the product for $50 with no problem but may or may not get the 25,000 optimum points ($25).

Guess I will have to go into a store and see.

Thanks!

Has anyone checked this out further? I have been wasting a lot of time online.

I cant find any mention of this offer by googling the Mobile Store or PC Financial Mastercard.  

I do see a Red Flag Deals mention of this offer but when I click on it I get “the Requested Thread does not exist”. 

So other than driving to one, here in Greater Vancouver I can’t find any 8nfo on whether this is available to anyone with a PC Mastercard. Next will be to see if 5 SIM cards at $50 total qualifies.

This is an email offer I received from my PC WE MC. OP's photo is from that email.

I don't think that this offer is from PCO.

I talked to my local TMS manager on Monday.  He told me about this promo.  You may call your local TMS mobilist to ask about this promo.
