Are you on $25 plan? if so, you might be able to get the savings back. But let me tell you what the actual issue is
PM retired the old reward system earlier (May 2024) and everyone migrated on the new Public Points system.
https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/bc/get-help/articles/move-to-public-points
With this new system, you pay the full amount first (with the Available Funds on your My Account or via your credit/debit card on the system), and hence you see a higher charge now.
After renewal, PM will give you the points to your reward account within 48 hours. Once you collected 15 points, you can redeem $15 bill payment yourself to bring the next payment down. Or you can also use points to buy add-ons with a discounted price
But you have a $25-1GB plan, you might be able to get the lost money back. PM is offering existing subscribers a $19-1GB plan. It is pretty much the same $25 -1GB plan, except it is better, it has 4G speed instead of 3G. With it being just $19, you can recover the lost reward savings from the change of the reward system. You might want to login to My Account and schedule a plan change to this $19 plan using Change on Renewal option
