Holiday giveaway?

[Kered13]

Apparently, I was sent a text to opt in for the giveaways.

  All I had to do is say yes.

I thought the text was telling me rewards applied, as yesterday was my due date.

With hopes I read it correct and there will be another on its way.

If it is true that I deleted the offer, is there a way to opt in alternatively?

Last year I recall going to the site and finding the offers.  So far, I do not see that option.

Hoping, I am not out of luck.

Thanks for your assistance.

@Kered13 

for existing customer; how redeem holiday gifts,

1. Between December 1st - 15th, we’ll send you a text message with your holiday gifts. 
2. To redeem them, just reply “YES” and your free data and international minutes will be automatically applied to your account. 

not a customer yet  visit here link

by public mobile manager say

If customers do not receive their SMS offer by mid-month or are unable to redeem because of a specific situation, our agents can help with next steps. However, I would strongly advise customers to wait until mid-December and return if they are still unable to redeem through SMS.

Send a text message saying "YES" to 4911. 

If you received the message earlier, this doing this will add the two add-ons to your account. 

If you haven't yet received the text message about this offer, you'll receive a reply back that you're not eligible for the offer.

Since they are working their way from most recent activations back once you report that you have recieved the text it will give anyone who activated before you in spring/summer 2020 that they will be the next to start receiving the text from 4911.

[Kered13]

Thanks for all the guidance.  As always - very much support, very delighted🤗.

Appears that I may have not received the offer yet as many of you have pointed out.

I will wait a bit and be patient.  If that does not work, I will work on some of the great advice given.

 If none of this works, I'll be back.

thank YOU

@olav1 no rush.. i don't get mine yet.. waiting PATIENTLY myself too.lol

[olav1]

that might be the issue, I have not received the offer as of yet !

[softech]

@olav1 You got a text from PM yet and you replied?  or you just send to the short code without getting the SMS first?

Look like they are doing in stages, they will flag the accounts in an  orderly fashion,  then text you and you reply.  You cannot just send YES first

@olav1 try it again with capitals letters YES

Not sure if that will do anything, but worth a shot.

@Kered13 @softech 

The text was sent from 4911. Reply YES to that shortcode.

[pkaraa]

That text was received from 5129 or 611? 

Wait till 15 dec and if you dont get the text till that date Contact support to get the msg again.

you can try the method mentioned above -sending YES to short code.

[softech]

"Never cry wolf" .. I think many people will do the same  😞

I also wonder if PM will automatically re-send the SMS text if no reply

also, some @darlicious  mentioned that instead of reply . just send YES to the sort code number (was it 5129? anyone else got the text and can confirm the shortcode number?)  and see if it will work
