One plan only elligible: 90 day provincial calling, global texting, 6 GB data $120 and must be activated between August 22 - Sept 22/16.

 

Referree AND referrer receive a credit on their account:

      a) for accounts activated before Jan 27/15 both receive $5

      b) accounts activated after Jan 27/15 referree receives $5 and referrer the usual $1/30 days reward

 

Advertise by email blast to ALL account holders as of August 21/16.

 

Manage credits similarly to the Canada Post rebate. To receive the credits the REFERRER sends an email from their account email address to backtoschool@publicmobile.ca with their account number, and, the email address and account number of their referree. So, it's a manual operation that requires no back end programming and there is 90 days to clean it up since only the 90 day plan is elligible. This email must be received by Oct 15/16.

 

Suggest using account number to avoid the situation where customers elect to port, or choose, a different number while the rebate is being processed.

Good Idea. Just like the most carriers offering back to school offers, PM should too.

Actually. I have this bundled idea:

90 Day, Can Talk, Global Txt and 3 GB data for $135, and receive 1 GB and 1 200 MB Add-On data as a Complimentary Gift ffrom PM for the Back-to-school special Promo

@makkahn28 Getting on 6GB plan for $9 extra sounds much better. At this point, i see no point for offering 3GB plan. 

 

There are many ways PM can offer B2S promotions. May be $10-$20 off with promo code when activating. OR giving Canada&US add-on for free or rewards for some months etc...

I was thinking of this, and thought, for the young, 3 GB might be what parents think is sufficient, and was thinking of compromises that make sense, from all sides of the coin

Status changed to: Yes, but not yet

Thanks for your great suggestion @Luddite

 

We listened to customer feedback and are refreshing our referral program so that there will be 2 way rewards AND so that the redemption process will be easier. Senders (referrers) will continue to receive $1 off per month as long as the receiver (referee) is still with Public Mobile. Receivers will now get a data reward, depending on the length of their plan. Receivers with a 30 day plan will receive 200MB of data and 90 day plan receivers will get 1GB. The receiver reward will be one time only. The process will be easier since we will be providing URL links for senders to share, rather than passing along their phone number. 

 

We hope to have this ready for the back to school season, however are juggling alot of balls right now. Stayed tuned for updates! 

 

We are doing other things for the back to school season with a major focus on generating awareness on our new and improved rate plans. Most plans are cheaper, or have more for the same value, so we want to share this great message with everyone.

Thanks for the update Brooke. Assume you mean a data add-on?

@Luddite- Exactly! For example, if the receiver selects a 30 day Canada Wide talk, Global Text, 1GB plan. They will receive 1.2GB of data during that time period as result of the referral program. If you select a 90 day Canada Wide talk, Global Text, and 3GB plan, then you will now have 4GB for your first month as a result of the referral program.

Think you're on the right track just wrong plan as I'm not sure extra data as big a plus to someone choosing a data plan versus someone with just calling & text.

Looking forward to the big announcement.

Hi. Just curious: would this Refer reward Add-On Data be a One-time thing? Just so ppl don't get confused or misinterpreted the notion.

I think this maybe a good start. Would be nice to possibly earn discounts on Plans also

Yes, the data reward that the receiver gets is a one time thing. Thanks for asking for further clarification @makkahn28!
