Issue with rewards?

[Geoffrey]

Hi all,

Im having an issue with service and payments.

My payment was due yesterday through auto pay (I have the $120/90day plan). $120 was charged to my account but my account had a notice saying it was suspended. I have a total of $21 of rewards that were not applied to my account and this morning my full $120 payment had been taken.

I now only have the ability to text. No calling, iMessage or data/internet usage.

Has this happened to anyone else and how did you fix it?

Thanks in advance!

"Public Mobile here..." reminded me that payment was due, not quite enough balance in account to cover my full plan price, so I bought a payment voucher ... and completely forgot about it.  Not the first time.

But Rewards were added to my account before payment was subtracted.  Service uninterrupted, everything just works, yay.  I distinctly remember this not happening once or twice before (ie: funds+Rewards were enough but funds alone weren't, so plan did not renew and service suspended until more funds deposited).  And I've read many threads from other people complaining or commenting about the same.  So I'd thought this must've been something PM had fixed/changed (for the better) without any announcements ... I'm guessing from this thread that this assumption was wrong?

There must be some sort of new bug affecting auto pay.  This is not an isolated incident in recent times.  Moderator team intervention is the solution for now.

First thing to do, power off your device, and try it again.  See if things are working.  As you said you still have texting, it means your account is still active, and may just need a refresh which the restart will do.

AutoPay, in my experience, is taking longer to complete now, and it may not yet be fully processed for you.  As for why your rewards were not processed and your card was charged the full amount, I don't know what to suggest.

Keep an eye on it. If your service totally fails, then you'll definately need to contact the Moderators via private message.
