I'm not sure if it is working because it keeps saying are you sure? I am faster and I can help. and when I say I am sure it goes to speak about phone compatibility for messaging

@fillione As long as you have AutoPay enabled then you will always receive the $2 reward, even if you pay with vouchers. Try the following to get plan re-activated again. (Just keep going down the list)
- Restart your phone
- Lost/Stolen trick
wait a couple of minutes and then declare your phone found by using the same steps from above and restart your phone.
- Add plan cost + $1 to your account funds using a one time payment with the cc on file.
If none of the above methods work submit a ticket to the Moderator Team for help. To submit a ticket to the Moderator Team, please start a conversation with the Public's virtual assistant, SIMon by clicking here or the icon (bottom right of your screen).

@fillione .....The creditcard on files gives a $2.00/ month discount. The autopay features sometimes does not do what it should do. This is why its a good idea to manually put the funds into your acccount by going to your selfserve account or 611 on your phone a few days before it expires. This way you still get the discount and no need to worry if the auto pay will do what it should do. I make it a habit of adding funds the same day I get a text staing my month is up in a couple of days.

You should not lose the AutoPay rewards when you make a manual payment. In fact, AutoPay and other rewards should already been applied to your Account Balance during the failed renewal. Please review your account balance and payment history to see any entry from yesterday and today.

@NDesaiCredit card expires next month, but otherwise, yes it is valid (has been for a year now)... And plenty of space to spend on it, so this officially sucks! I guess I'll have to pay manually...

@fillione If your phone isn't working then Auto-Pay failed you will need to manually reactivate your account. If your phone is working leave it alone and let the plan renewal compete.

It's normal during the night and early morning. However, seeing this during a mid day is not so normal. Looks like the account did not renew.
@fillione Are you sure your credit card on file is valid? If yes, not sure what else gone wrong. Have you tried making a manual payment of plan cost - rewards?

@fillione if this is your cycle renewal date and your services are working properly then ignore the status of your self service account. The normal PM renewal process is expired, then suspended, payment comes out at 2am est (on the self service account date) then the plan resets for the next 30 day cycle at 6am est. Once your phone is working properly ignore the mesage, leave your account alone. Just check for you 611 payment thankyou text message around 12.03pm est. tomorrow.
Renewal process screenshots https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Paying-for-your-service/If-I-have-a-credit-35-00-does...
If your services aren't working properly and your account is suspended. Then you may reactivate a suspended account online or by calling 611.
Via your account online
1. If you have already registered, or will first register, a credit card, go to step 2. OR deposit a voucher for at least your plan cost and go to step 3.
2. Go to the payment tab, select single payment and amount due.
3. Select the reactivate account button.
4. Restart your phone.
or Using 611 to make your payment: ( you need your 4 digit pin to buy an add on)
1. press 1 to make payment
2. press 2 credit card ( or 1 voucher)
3. press 1 amount due.
4. Restart your phone.

What is the date on the top area of your self-serve page? Or what date does the 611 give you?
Are your services still working?
If the date is tomorrow and your services are working then just let it be and wait until tomorrow for your renewal to finish.
