The $10 credit is just the start — Public Points keep lowering your bill
On a $40 plan, Public Points hand you back roughly $15 a year without you doing anything — and that’s the boring part:
$1/month per friend — forever
Refer one friend with your own code: 1 point ($1) every 30 days they stay, uncapped. Five friends ≈ $75/year, indefinitely.
~$9.60/year back automatically
2% of every payment returns as points — no signup, no hoops ($0.80/month on a $40 plan).
$5 every anniversary
5 bonus points each year, just for staying.
1 point = $1 off your bill
Redeem 15 points and your next bill drops by $15.
The honest reframe: in 2026, Public Points is really a referral program with some small change attached — the passive earnings are modest, the referral earnings are uncapped. Stack it with the $10 activation credit and your effective price keeps falling the longer you stay. Full math in our Public Points guide.
Seen sites promising “up to $40”? Here’s the truth
Every Public Mobile referral code pays the new customer exactly the same amount — that’s how the program works, by Public Mobile’s own rules. As of July 2026, that amount is a $10 one-time credit. There is no special code that pays $40.
| What other sites claim | What’s actually true |
|---|---|
| “Up to $40 credit!” | Quoting long-ended bonus promos. The 2025 bonus rounds peaked at $25 total on $29+ plans — and ended in 2025. |
| “The best referral code” | No such thing exists. All codes pay the identical $10. Anyone saying otherwise is baiting you. |
| “Updated today” badges | Often faked with a script. Our stamp is baked in at build time and backed by a public verification log. |
When Public Mobile does run a real bonus round, you’ll see it here with official start and end dates — tracked on our offer changelog. No bonus promo is running right now — the standard $10 new-customer credit applies. Past promos: $15 referral bonus rounds (May–July 2025), PMDATA10 10GB free data (ended June 26, 2026).
Our guarantee: you get the credit, even if checkout glitches
Public Mobile’s checkout has a known glitch where referral codes sometimes fail to apply — other sites ignore this and leave you stranded. We don’t: if the code doesn’t apply, our fix guide resolves it, and if you’ve already activated, the support-ticket template gets the $10 credit added retroactively — confirmed in writing by Public Mobile’s own support staff. Either way, you don’t lose your credit.
Prefer to use a friend’s code instead of ours? Go for it — the credit is identical either way. That’s the whole point: no code is better, so use whichever you trust. Here’s what we earn if you use ours.
Frequently asked questions
How much do I get for using a Public Mobile referral code?
A one-time $10 account credit, applied within 72 hours after activation. Every referral code gives the identical credit — no code is “better” than another, whatever other sites claim.
Where do I enter the referral code?
At Step 4 (Payment) of online activation, in the “Referral Code” field. It is a separate field from the Promo code box — you can use both at the same time.
Can I add a referral code after I already activated?
Yes. Public Mobile support agents can apply a forgotten referral code retroactively via a support ticket — see our step-by-step guide.
Do Public Mobile referral codes expire?
No. Codes stay valid as long as the referrer remains an active Public Mobile customer, and one code can be used by unlimited new customers.
What does the person who referred me get?
The referrer earns 1 Public Point (worth $1) every 30 days per active referral. That is how this site is funded — it costs you nothing.
Do I keep earning rewards after I activate?
Yes — Public Points run automatically: 2% of every payment back in points, 5 bonus points each anniversary, and 1 point per 30 days for every friend you refer with your own code. Points redeem at $1 each against your bill (15 points = $15 off). See how Public Points work.
Is there a bigger bonus promo running right now?
No bonus promo is running right now — the standard $10 new-customer credit applies. Past promos: $15 referral bonus rounds (May–July 2025), PMDATA10 10GB free data (ended June 26, 2026). We log every change on the offer changelog.
Is this site affiliated with Public Mobile?
No. This is an independent informational site, not affiliated with or endorsed by Public Mobile or TELUS. All amounts are taken from official Public Mobile announcements and re-verified monthly.
