Hello Community,
I had my account suspended through lost-stolen for a couple of months. I noticed my rewards were not applied. Is this normal?
Thanks in advance!

I just heard back from the moderator. She apologised for the delay and the confusion over the rewards and has applied them to my account.
Thank you everyone for your help!

@jivetalker : Did you reply to the email notification or did you reply in private messaging?

I got my first reply from the moderator within an hour. I replied shortly afterwards and its been silence for nearly 3 hours!

@jivetalker : So your last renewal was Jan 30. Sometime before early March you suspended. Then you reactivated on the 27th. Now you should ask for the $2 + $2 to be credited to your account. That community one will be zero'd out if they do it right (they may not 🙂 ). And if you still have autopay toggled on then it will stay.
Not sure about the system issue on Feb 3. That $5 off seems a little messy.

I asked the moderator to look at my payment history. I have only recieved one $2 autopay reward. The $4 in rewards has been there since before I suspended. The community reward was for January 2021.

@jivetalker : Rewards are paid up front. ie. you already got the rewards for when you were active at the last payment before you suspended. Now you're reactivated and so the rewards showing in your Rewards area should get added...not all the ones while you were suspended. Maybe you just need to ask the question properly.

@jivetalker just reply them back and say your phone was lost and hence was suspended. Usually Mods are nice and can apply the reward back.

I sent a message but got a message back saying you have to have active service. But those rewards were earned when I had active service.

You can private message them or click on the chat bubble at the bottom right corner of your screen. Type apply rewards manually and human and follow the prompts to submit your ticket.

@jivetalker : I would suggest the new ticket method. If they give you trouble, point them to any number of threads here where people have had the rewards put in after the fact.

So I can just reply to the last moderator message in my mailbox?

@jivetalker : Rewards don't accumulate under suspension. If it suspended for lack of payment then you should have a small balance in Available Funds. You should also see some numbers in the Rewards area. Those numbers can be added to your Available Funds after reactivation by the moderators.

Ok that makes sense...I have already paid and renewed my account. So how do I apply the rewards?

Here are the rules:
https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/on/get-help/articles/reward-rules
Once you make payment to activate account, your last rewards earned (ie. Jan/Feb) before suspension should be in awarded.

So I don't get my autopay reward or community reward for January/February because I suspended my plan for March, April and May?

Yes, that is normal. You will; not earn rewards while suspended/lost state. Your loyalty time to earn your loyalty reward will also be delayed by the amount of time suspended.
