Hello. I've been using Public mobile for 3.5 years and $5 discount every month.
I'm wondering if we can join both point rewards as well or need to choose one of them.

That’s the thing, @takana
Public Mobile does not make it obvious to us, their customers, that switching is a huge mistake.
That is because they save a lot more money by having all activations since January 2022 being in the points program. They’ve even made it worse by ensuring when one opts out of the points program, they have no reward program whatsoever. Users cannot opt back in!!!
Sneaky stuff for sure …. Thank goodness for the Community!!!

Thank you @LitlLdy for the comment! I really appreciate everyone saved me by suggesting to stick this program. Otherwise I didn't event know that I may have huge loss by switching...

I'll keep my current rewards, for sure!
@takana , thank goodness! I was about to cry if you switched to points! 🤣 I hate the points program! Kicked myself daily for switching to it when it 1st came out! Huge loss for me! 😕

@BKNS27 It is. I'm glad to be in the old Reward system now 🙂

Yes, if you do the math. The old Rewards system is better.

Thank you @BKNS27 I'll stick with the old Reward system, since everyone suggested me. I don't spend so much, so I won't get so much points if get 5% of monthly bill, so current program is much better to me!

Hello @computergeek541 Thank you for the suggestion. Now I know the comparison and I agree with you. I'll keep the current program!

No, you can only go on one system but not both.
Stick with the old Rewards system because you will get instant credit off your monthly bill. Once you switch, that is it…you can’t switch back.
The new Points system, you will loss the $2 AutoPay credit and you only get 5% of your monthly bill in points. Once you have 15 points, you can redeem it for a $15 credit.

You have to choose one or the other, but the old rewards system is better in almost every way.

@takana no, you can only choose one of them , not both
and once you migrated from old to the new , you CANNOT go back.
And we all agree old system is MUCH MUCH better than the new. So, don't go!!
here is a comparison
On the other hand, the goodies for new system,
- 5% Points back for add-on purchases as well
- add-ons are around 33% cheaper when you redeem with Public Points
- you can use 1 point for lucky draw, so, technically you bet $1 and can win an iPhone
