Holiday rewards - 2022

[Tsawwassen]

Received email with this PM Christmas gift - It advises that in order to get the free data ta espond to text with a YES2 --is required--- However any and all texts received from PM I promptly delete --- I'm concerned that I possibly have deleted the PM free gift text and also deleted my trash. Is there a way to have this text offer re-sent?

[hTideGnow]

HI @richie_b2   it is for ALL PM customers

but it takes time for PM to send the text.  They will send small number of text daily until Dec 15.  So, your spouse will get it before Dec 15.  Just need wait a bit

[richie_b2]

What plans are eligible for this? I got the offer but my spouse who is on the old $15 plan did not. Tried opening a new message on their phone and sending YES2 and got a response saying they are not eligible.

Sorry, I clarified in another post.  still haven't gotten text for regular bonus.  so I'll wait and hopefully it comes.

[hTideGnow]

HI@vistaliving   you will get it.  everyone in your household will get it

PM sending the text from now till Dec 15.  It is only couple days, 10 more days to go

@dippitlo261   no worry.  It will come  🙂

[dippitlo261]

My bf has received his, yet I'm still waiting for my text as of today Sunday Dec. 4 at 5:56 PM MT. 😥

[CMPOON]

You can check it in the Rewards-add-on. Maybe you can find this bonus! Happy Christmas!

[brettster99]

@Tsawwassen YAY, me and my mom both got the deal. YAY!!!!

[Tsawwassen]

Yes -- that they are -- trying to encourage us to switch to the points system. However I do appreciate their selfless 2GB data gift.

[Tsawwassen]

Was also joking - happy Hollidays.

for those who are on old , only 2GB plus LD minutes

You seem to to think that you know quite a bit about others accounts - Do you have the skills to view others private info? And by the way in this case you are off base - I'm on the original rewards system that should have been obvious because of my post.

Sound good to me - Sent me your old rewards plan ------

Look at the emojis.

@Tsawwassen  You get two but I have yet to receive any. Gotta keep waiting I guess. Also, the reason it's not available to all is to make people switch.

So it's not an unselfish gift. Maybe I got your 2GB - ha ha

ONLY?!?!? Be grateful to get anything. 😋😁

That's not the point! Refer to my post.  By the way Just got 2 texts with the 2 GB offer - wonder if this is a glitch or is PM double gifting me - I answered YES2 to both texts and see what happens.

Best of both worlds? 

Old reward system - your price is going down by up to $5 per month as reward for loyalty and by $2 pre-auth payment every month.

New reward system - puny 10 points for 12 months ($0.833 per month) and 5% of plan payment AND we have to wait till points reach 15 to redeem. 

Not sure if PM is discriminating. If you feel very strong about it, no one is stopping you from switching to new system. It is the intention of PM, anyway.  BTW, by joining point system, you could win an iPhone 13 or a 55" Samsung TV, or other goodies (dinning card, Amazon card) in jackpot draws using your points.

[porcupine]

old points is very good 

[will13am]

The announcement seems to be very clear about the third bullet.  Not sure what the problem is.  Ever think that those on the points reward system are crying foul because the legacy reward system is no longer offered?

[Yummy]

Correct. Only if you are on points you will get additional 1GB. No thanks.

[brettster99]

@Tsawwassen  It’s not, they are trying to incentivize all of us on the old rewards system to the new system in a cheap as possible way. Because they actually save money because the new rewards system is a lot less valuable and don’t get as much back in discounts. 

so they are trying to incentivize moving. Nothing will make me move from the old rewards system 

[Outdoorsman]

@Tsawwassen Hi both systems have their good points still would rather the old system 

[Tsawwassen]

The "Free Holiday 1GB Data!" Seems to only be offered to accounts that have switched to the point system.

It's not a big deal but it does seem discriminatory .

Thank you all for  comments – HOWEVER the post is not as to what reward system is better but as to why this Christmas bonus is not offered to all PM plan holders.

Some phones will keep deleted texts in the trash settings for upto 30 days and they can be restored if needed.
