The new Points aren't as good as old Rewards. But they're still better than the nothing which every other provider sells.
The plans and prices are essentially identical to Koodo and to some of Telus. And to Lucky, Chatr, Virgin, Fido.
But sooner or later PM is going to run a good promo which is better than the others, for a little while at least. I just hope it's not the usual "get it now get it now" rush job because most people are reluctant to leave their existing providers mid-cycle or before contract term - it's not worth their while to get a $20 credit or free month service or handful of GB if it's going to cost them just as much or more to jump ship early - it's definitely not worth their while without being able to break even then get ahead after a few months of Rewards.
PM might still hand out gifts and freebies. Maybe we can get people on before xmas and get them to stick around after xmas if they're happy, lol.
PM is gradually (glacially) expanding and improving long-distance, data, and add-on options. Still behind Lucky, but they're catching up and maybe one day they'll suddenly offer all the same basics as their Telus parent.
My logic is that Koodo and PM are basically interchangeable right now. Koodo sells phone Tabs, PM sells Points. But Telus is going to eventually have to let PM do something else distinctive if they want the brand (and all the brand's subscribers) to remain viable.
At least Self-Serve finally got fixed up. Cosmetically and functionally. That's one less ghetto-looking sketchy thing which scares people off. Let's maybe hope the Community gets a similar upgrade.
