Most of us are a little bewildered at how a balance builds w/Auto pay since the payment system always deduct from available funds first. Normally prepaid funds are non-refundable.
However if you had a case of double payments or charges occurring then asking for a refund or granting an account transfer may be possible or if you are on the rewards program the CSA may allow for the account to be transferred to a "friend or family member" while porting your number out.....if it's a compelling enough reason (employment requirement for example) and then the new account holder transfers you the equivalent balance.
This YMMV as pm considers it on a case by case basis but can happen.
If you have chosen a different provider with a device contract keep in mind you have 15 days to change your mind and return the device and accessories etc....and cancel penalty free. You can use up your balance and then negotiate a new deal with the potential new provider.

You could try to ask the Customer Support Agents if they would consider moving the available balance to another active account, but that practice has long since ceased so I wouldn't hold my breath.
However, if you are moving to a TELUS company (TELUS or Koodo), you might have a greater chance of success.
It's worth the ask if you are unsatisfied with recent technical glitches that have happened with auto-pay and the April 1st fiasco - ask the CSA's.
To contact a Customer Support Agent, there are 2 methods:

Unless it was PM mistake with the technical issue there is no refund nor can your transfer to another PM customer. You used to be able to which at least was an option, and i used that when I left the first time, but they removed that option since

@Jacques1988 I also think you have a right to request either a refund or at the minimum transfer of those funds to another PM account if the reason for those extra funds is due to PM's autopay failure. It certainly doesn't hurt to submit a ticket using the links provided by @JK8 earlier.
BTW, just to clarify the extra funds is money you deposited into your account and is not rewards? If part of those funds are rewards, then PM will not issue a refund/transfer of any of the rewards funds, of course.

I feel you might have a case for either a refund or credit to another account since you stated there was a technical problem. You had autopay on and an Account balance. The renewals should have exhausted your Account balance first even though autopay was on.

Nope. You can either forfeit the balance or stay until it's exhausted. Sorry.

HI @Jacques1988 Sorry, fund cannot be transferred between account. They have stopped doing it for some time

Contact a CS Agent. It will be up to them but no guarantees.

Prolly not gonna get a refund, Friend.
I suggest you stay with PM until you use up your Available Funds. Perhaps get one of the higher priced plans for 30 days to use it up quicker. PM has a $70 / 30 day option with +20GB of data.
Once you're close to the end, then port out to your new provider.

There are no refunds. This is prepaid. Is that money from vouchers, payment via cc or rewards built up?
05-26-2022 07:14 PM
I’m changing company, but I have approx. $80 in available funds.

If you see extra funds on your account, leave them there until next renewal when they will be used.
What is refund for?
Bottom line is, you can always ask for refund if it is justified, contacting agent.
But more details is needed to provide proper advice.
