How to buy SIM card with reward points

I use to go to my app pick buy SIM card and instead of paying on credit card it gave me the option to buy with points. I done it for over a year but now it’s not showing to redeem points only pay cash. Any idea if this option moved?

@MountainMaxMan2   I've been on points all along and never saw that you could buy a sim card with points.  Might you mean to pay your bill, for which you log in to your account and go to Rewards, then look in the catalogue and look for redeem 15 points for $15 off your bill.  Or maybe you're looking for an add-on, they're also in the catalogue in My Rewards?  I'm not sure why you would be regularly buying sim cards, you only ever need one unless something goes wrong with it, so I'm guessing that's not exactly what you mean?  Edit, on looking at your past posts it sounds like you have referrals, so maybe you do need sim cards but as I said, I never saw them for purchase with points.


There has never been any option to use a points to pay for a SIM card.

@MountainMaxMan2 , I know we used to be able to. I can’t check though due to I have redeemed points on my account balance so it will use the available balance on my account to pay for it.


As @LitlLdy  suggests...you should be able to redeem 15 points for $15 in your Available Fund$...then buy the sim card using $$ from Available Fund$. I've never done it but dunno why it won't work as she suggests.

If you need a physical SIM, Amazon sells them. Click on AMAZON for the link.

Or locations near you that have a SIM. TELUS STORES

@MountainMaxMan2  I didn’t. Know you could do that and buy SIM card with points , but since you say you can and have . Did you try both the website and public mobile APP ? Try that first if you haven’t

you cannot buy eSIM using points 

but it from Amazon for cheaper, just $5.  Or buy from Telus or Koodo stores for $10
