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.

If I understand this correctly, if I get a more expensive plan than the $120 I'm not eligible? If that's the way it is, I obviously don't agree. 

 

Im hoping to get someone signed up to a $201 90 day plan this month and it would be great if they could take advantage of this.

No, you're reading the suggestion part, which wasn't accepted exactly as is. The part below in bold is PM's response and details what they plan to implement, which should be available with any plan. This new referral scheme is not yet in place though. Not sure when they plan to launch it.

I was thinking about this new upcoming referral system. 

 

As of now, only referrer gets the reward. $3 per 90 days. They have given rewards to only referrers and it make sense why referrer should get it. 

 

With the new change receiver will get 1GB on a 90 days right away. That is ~$30 value. To me this doesn't sound that good. For referrer to get that value, receiver would have to stay with PM and renew 90 days at least 10 times. So, ~900 days till referrer reaches the same value receiver got. 

 

At the same time, if referrer refers many people, rewards are great but not for those who refer only one to few.

Hey @markjanzen

 

Unfortunately the refreshed referral program won't be launching in September. We have another exciting change that is coming soon and this is pushing our timeline back for the referral program. I apologize for the delay, and hope that you will still recommend your friends to join!
