New 5GB at 4G Speed

[noidea]

Good Afternoon,

I see that Public Mobile is currently offering a $40 plan that includes 5GB at 4G speed. 

My question is, I am already on the $40 plan but at the 5Gb at 3G speed.  If I switch to the 4G is there any hidden fee's or will I loose my rewards (Recommend a Friend, and Loyalty discounts), or would the plan remain the exact same at $40 will all the same rewards?

Thanks,

M.

HI @bluejaywpg   Yes, that 2GB offer will be gone if you change plan.  But OP said he has been here for 5 years, so he won't be one of those.

@hTideGnow no I was referring to past flash sales (probably a year ago or longer) where it appeared you could sign up as a new customer & get 2 GB bonus monthly data (well every 30 days) in perpetuity until you cancel or change your plan. I thought the practice of limiting the 2 GB bonus data to 6 or 12 months was a more recent practice by PM.

Good point. Any idea where I can read the terms and conditions online?

When I’m in My Account, the bonus is shown as follows:

2 GB

Bonus 2GB - Kiosk Promo

Current Plan Cycle:Unlimited

2 GB left

(As an fyi I’m not a heavy data user, normally I’m below 2GB per billing cycle)

HI @bluejaywpg  if you meant the 2GB bonus we got during December, then that Christmas bonus is good until it is used up, changing plan won't have any effect to that

I am on the $40 3G 5GB plan and when I signed I received a 2 GB monthly bonus. So I have 7 GB per month. Plus I have $7 in monthly rewards. So, like others are asking here, what will my net cost be, pre tax, and how many GB will my monthly plan include if I switch to the $40 4G 5GB plan? 

I’m hoping the answer is $33 ($40-7) and 7GB of data.

Your rewards won't be afffected. However, as to the 2GB bonus that you got at activation, that would depend on teh terms and conditions specified for that offer.

@hTideGnow were there not some old 2 GB per month of bonus data promos offered in the past that were good forever, not just for 12 months? (Meaning good until plan change or cancellation)

[noidea]

But I did get the 2GB activation bonus when I signed up 5 years ago.  Will that be affected?

Excellent point.  
Thanks

HI @noidea   no downfall, since you are here 5 years, the 2GB activation bonus does not apply to you for sure.  So, nothing to loss other than gaining, gaining the 4G speed

Remember  there could be a 48 hours delay for speed change

@noidea your good to go just remember the way to change.. instantly costs what you’ve paid plus new plan. Next renewal is the ticket

[hTideGnow]

HI @noidea   No, there is no hidden terms there  🙂

you can change it and it won't affect your rewards.

But you don't have 2GB bonus data from activation, right?  that would be the possible loss for those who have it when changing plan

There are no fees to switch plans. However, to avoid losing money paid into your current plan, you must pre-schedule any plan change to occur during the new renewal (note that it is good enough to just manually change the plan on the same day as the renewal - you must schedule the change).

@noidea  You won’t lose any loyalty rewards… they will stay
