Students - early evening discount for ROGERS customers!

[IceQue]

I was reading over at Howard forums. Apparently if you're a student you can call in and get a early evening after 6pm free credit. It doesn't matter what kind of plan you have so long as your a student. All you have to do is call in and ask to have the msd code added to your account.

[CS-Source-ChallengeME!]

can anyone confirm? is this just a retentions perk (a hit or miss) or an actual deal?

[xinhang]

that is correct also if u a student u can get 5 dollars off any value pack. When i signed up they asked for me student id and gave me both

[eesh]

It's true, I got the early 6pm yesterday. I was calling retentions for a new plan, and he said that they're offering all students early 6pm for free.

[JuNGleR72]

I wonder if FIDO is doing the same thing.. hmm...

[Newt]

I wonder if FIDO is doing the same thing.. hmm...

me too. Could somebody verify this? I just started a signed up for FIDO plan and this sweeten the deal.

[trinh85]

me too. Could somebody verify this? I just started a signed up for FIDO plan and this sweeten the deal.

same. and does this apply to grad students too??:cheesygri

[FFWFire]

I already have free early evenings, do you think they'll give 5$ off my texts?

[LxSedan]

thanks OP! Just called in and got it added, no problems whatsoever, the rep was super nice.

[Triad]

I already have this too... I wonder if they will give me caller ID instead. I pay about $31 and no caller ID!

[bubble.tea]

Wrong Forum.

It's actually a freebie =P.

[kiyoraka]

How do they confirm you are a student?
o.O

[bobbings]

How do they confirm you are a student?
o.O

I think they ask for the school and student number. Not sure what they do with it but that was the case when I was still in school and had asked for a student special.

[little_asian_angel]

i wonder if it would be applicable to apprentice students? My bf's going back to school for a month and a half for his mechanics license and I'm sure he'll be getting a student ID then... I wonder if it'll count? Do they ask when you graduate?

[contextv]

Cool. I'm going to try this out. Thanks OP

PS> I think this should've stayed in the hot deals forum since it'll get more attention from rogers customers.

[nuberific]

Cool thanks OP. I hope it has nothing to do with retentions!

[tamil]

I just called in about the Early evening credit and they refused to give it to me since I have rentention plan with credits. Only way you can get it if its a normal plan or a normal retention plan with out many credits

My Plan is-
250min
Unlimited after 6
125txt
calldisplay
R2R
Unlimited Incoming
$5 off +15%off monthly bill
25/month +SAF+taxes

Good luck to others

[renegadeavenger]

this doesn't apply to student holders in a family plan. They wouldn't add it for me.

[proj]

16 minutes later on the phone with someone who sounds like my grandmother, I got it added. They didn't ask for a student ID, just what school I went to.

[ricedion]

Does this apply to pay as you go plan? hehe

[anom]

anyone know if this applies to corp plans?

[tigger03]

I'm lucky my university id doesn't have an expiry date on it.:lol:

[Roush]

I called and was told that it can only be activated on a student plan :?:.

[bubble.tea]

I'm lucky my university id doesn't have an expiry date on it.:lol:

Has nothing to do with that., unless you're doing this in person. It has to do with the generosity of Rogers in this particular regard.

Those who are facing difficulty. Just politely ask the rep to verify the actual memo about this promotion before accepting defeat.

Those who are eligible for it, ARE. Plain and simple.

[Alphamale]

I have a retentions plan with:
200 Day Time
Unlimited Incoming
Network Calling
Evenings/Weekend 1000mins starting @ 6pm (after the phone call)
Smartphone Value Pack - fully credited

I think I'm missing some stuff, but that's the gist of it.

I pay $25 + SAF/taxes/911.

You can get this plan as long as you're a student, regardless of retentions plan or not.

People have had variable success with getting it added to their family plan.

Corporate plans are out of the question, unless you luck out.

[shopping_princess]

i wonder if it will work if my plan is under my parents' name, even though it's a separate line (not family plan).

i'm gonna try calling tmr, but if anyone knows, plz reply! thanks :)

[deal4you]

i wonder if it will work if my plan is under my parents' name, even though it's a separate line (not family plan).

i'm gonna try calling tmr, but if anyone knows, plz reply! thanks :)You should be fine. My university child got the early evening credit and my high school child does not. Credit does not tie to the early evening. It says "Monthly plan credit". It is not like caller id credit. It does not go away if you cancel the early evening.

Last week, I added the $30 500MB VP with $10 credit. I canceled the early evening and the $5 credit stays. The 500MB VP plan costs only $15 after the credits. Therefore, try to get it whether you need it or not. It would come handy in the future. Now, I need to get early evening credit for high school child! I will try bubble.tea advice to ask CSR to look up the memo.

[thechampion116]

anybody have the original link for it on howardsforum?

i searched but nothing came up.

I got it added to all of my lines today! it should like this under discounts when you log in online.

6 pm Eve Student Discount - To be removed on 21/01/2012

[aznkalun]

Rogers had something like this about 1-2 years ago - my friend told me I could call in and say I was a uni student and get R2R for free.

[Sammo99]

this doesn't apply to student holders in a family plan. They wouldn't add it for me.

I think it all depends on the rep you talk to. I was able to get the student discount for early evenings at 6pm and the $5 credit towards a value pack for all three lines on my family plan - even though only two of the three lines are used by students. I would just try again.

[setell]

Just got a super nasty rep. Refuse to give it since he said you had to have a student plan. I'll have to try again to see if I can get another rep. If this is going to work I'm going to be so happy as my sister needs a break! She really is a current student!!!

[beetfarm]

Hmmm, I have the EPP or Insider's Plan which is 250 min + 6PM early evening. This may be a stupid question but does my plan already have an MSD code?

I'm assuming yes, because of the free after 6PM. I wouldn't have minded the $5 off on value packs though.

[moniquoi]

didnt work for me - i have a pay as you go

[vomer]

I called them, does not apply to accounts on retention plan

[asdisme]

So is it just early 6pm or with a $5 credit too?

Also if i'm alreadying paying for that early 6pm already, will they just credit it?

Thanks!

[CSR]

WOw hot!

[3niDaPooh]

It works I just got off the phone with them and my gf did as well, if you already have free after 6pm then they give you a credit on your account to a maximum of $7, and if you bill before tax is over $40 they will also give you a $5 credit towards essential value packs

[asdisme]

So basically it is a 2 in 1 deal? free 6pm and $5 credit?

:cheesygri

[hoon]

are you guys speaking to normals reps or retention reps?

[asdisme]

Do you have to have My5 in order for this to work?
Cause the rep said that it only applies to My5?

[asdisme]

Called again and this rep knew his Roger's stuff, so everything is good :cheesygri. But didn't receive the $5 credit thing you guys were talking about.

Thank you OP and other posters that contributed knowledge of this freebie!!!!

Does this extend the contract?

*edit: called back to verify and only one person on the account could receive this... either me or my brother... arghh
*edit2: nvm called again and got everything fixed and got credited today, so minus $5 for 6pm to bill due this month :D

[lindorz]

yeah it works.. i was able to speak another person...

[asdisme]

Well from Howard's forum, it seems to be only available for MY5 student plans only. Anyway they will remove it off your account after they added it?

http://www.rogers.com/web/content/wireless-plans/studentplans

[mumjud]

Thanks so much!

Was able to add 6 pm evenings to a non-student plan no problems (I have another overlay for free R2R from way back as well)

The guy said the $5 credit towards the value pack expired a while back though :( Really sucks cuz that's the one I wanted!!!!!

And I should mention I guess that I'm not on a family plan in case you were curious.

[setell]

Yippeee got it for my sister! No questions asked! So her MY5 nationwide for $20/mth is a deal when she's a new customer! Now I gotta get my other sister to call in to get this discount!

[asdisme]

For some reason on my account, it doesn't show the early 6pm evening credit. But it shows that the 6pm is added to my account... :confused:

[yomister]

anyone having luck with this? called in at least 6 times and all said I needed a student plan

[hoon]

Try retentions. I called the regular CSR's and they said my sister needed a student plan but when I tried back two days later calling into retentions (just say cancel at the voice prompt) I got this really knowledgeable guy. Gave it to me within a couple of minutes after he verified it was still available.

[jperras]

Does anyone know if adding this free calls after 6pm thing resets your contract for another 3 year contract? Thanks.

[bg_187]

No, this does not renew your contract for another 3 years. Just call, say you want the free after 6pm code for students on your account. Give them your ID and school you go to and your done!

To verify, log into your.rogers.com and check to see if they have added it. It will say something like this.


6 pm Eve Student Discount - To be removed on 22/01/2012

[jperras]

I originally had just a normal plan that I signed up for on there website a couple years ago, a flat 200 minutes for $20. Unfortunately the rep was unable to add the free calling after 6pm to be used with this plan, as he said it was not compatible. So instead he offered me a student plan which comes out to $5 more, so $25 total, includes free calling, text and picture messaging to ten people, 100 weekday minutes, 500 incoming minutes, 1000 weeknight and of course the free after 6pm.

This deal definitely adds more value than my original plan. Except that I barely use my phone and never go over the 200 minutes. I decided not to bother paying an extra $5 to switch it.

[felixmo]

students = high school???:confused:

is this offer available for high school students?

[keljai]

anyone confirmed with fido yet

[asdisme]

No, this does not renew your contract for another 3 years. Just call, say you want the free after 6pm code for students on your account. Give them your ID and school you go to and your done!

When I check my roger account, it does not show that "6pm Eve Student Discount" :confused:

[contextv]

I called 3 times. They all said it's only available for student plans. I called retentions too. No luck :(

[thechampion116]

do I call 1-888-ROGERS1 in order to get this deal???

I've never had to call Rogers before so I'm a newb.

I'm pretty sure I can get this because I have last years My10 student plan and still in school

[user01]

Curious, where did you guys see this advertisement because a rep wants to see it for verification? I just applied to my family plan cellphone and all of a sudden, some additional services are going to be removed next month. I didn't get the 6PM unlimited because the rep was being an arse of not knowing anything and gave me the 9PM unlimited unless I provide him a link to the ad. I can't find it online... :|:|:|

EDIT: I think this offer just ended for students on Feb 2, 2009

[Sammo99]

students = high school???:confused:

This offer applies to any students, as long as you have a student ID. I used my university student ID and was given unlimited evenings and weekends starting at 6pm for free.

[contextv]

Did you have a student plan or a retentions plan?

[hc806]

this doenst work if you have a rentions plan.. and tehy said it doenst work either way because.. my sister has a corporate plan and we are under the same account.. how the hell does that work...

[bubble.tea]

...if you have a rentions plan......

can i haz rentions plan?

[mattt33]

Hi, so i called in last month to inquire about this 6pm student credit. I spoke with two reps (1 in billing, 1 in data) on two separate occasions and i was told since i'm a student i would be able to get $7 credited back towards the early evening option.

Well they confirmed it was done, however i just got my new bill and it shows no indication of a student credit. I called and spoke with customer relations this time, and the lady told me the credit is only applicable on the two student plans that they have. She tried her best to look for any other codes that may have worked but to no avail.

However, i was transferred over the the business department later and after speaking with the gentleman he said he would be able to offer it to me but ONLY on a 3 year renewal! SO... this makes me think it's not a "plan limitation" since he was able to offer it IF he was able to lock me in for another whopping 1000 days!! (i.e.3 years)

Has anyone actually received the 6pm early evening credit without renewing, and as a general feature-specific credit(i.e. NOT just credit given as a monthly plan credit) and not related to the student promotion? :confused:

thanks

Actually the 6pm early evening credit is in fact still available, however ONLY if you have one of the eligible Rogers "student plans." i.e. you won't be able to just apply it to any other plan.

Someone please correct me if they think otherwise.

Sorry i'm not quite sure myself, I just saw OP post it (Thank you again) and tried to take advantage of it. I didn't succeed the first 2 times, but upon 3rd tryl the roger's employee gave it to me. I have to see if this credit will actually stay because someone said that they took it off for him and that if he wants it he will need to renew a 3 year contract... :mad:

Just renegociated with Retensions back on Feb 10th and rep added the credit to my account. I already had 6pm E/W and for some reason he added 5pm E/W to my account and credited the full amount. It shows up as 6pm Eve. Student Discount. The thing is though I was already paying less than the 6pm upgrade option cost from my last retension deal. My bill is a bit different though in the sense that the Voice part of my plan is very heavily discounted and the data part has less credits. My first bill was much less than we talked about on the phone with retensions so well have to wait and see what comes next month.

My voice plan is the My5 $35 (data is the 6gb $30 plan which I will not touch).

I'm just wondering if it's true that it was added to your account WITHOUT any contract renewal, because i really don't plan on extending my contact 3 years. :|

[moxy]

[mattt33]

Hey moxy, that's good to know. Want to ask if you're sure you didn't have to renew a contract? Just wondering if it's worth trying to call in again and see if they will offer it to me as is, since i've called quite a few times but no luck..:(

Best to have the website up so you can reference it if they give you a hard time. Remember though... it has to be IN MARKET and no retention plans

[mattt33]

Similar to you asdisme, when i checked online mine didn't show the 6pm credit description that moxy had either (so that's why i was worried the whole time, only to find out it truly wasn't on my next bill).

Well if your end date remained the same moxy, then i suppose it's safe to say that they didn't renew the contract for you.

Well i wasn't aware that it only applies for in-market plans, however luckily i am on one - the Megatime $25.

I may try calling again later and talking to regular customer service to see if i can get lucky.

so that means my 6pm early evening was only on my bill for 1 month?! :mad:

[mattt33]

i don't know if it's the same in your situation, but in my case i thought i had successfully added the 6pm credit and only to realize in my subsequent bill that there was no credit at all.

I had the 6pm early evening feature already on my plan prior to inquiring about the student credit, so i was paying $7 already anyway. However, if you didn't have the 6pm evening option and then asked them to apply the student credit, i'm not sure if it would just show up as an EXTRA $7 charge for the feature (and no credit).

Well I gotta wait till my bill comes in before I can really say. But my last month's bill dropped from all the previous months, so as long the price stays low like last month and I get the 6pm early eve, I'll be a happy camper :cheesygri

[moxy]

It shows as a $7 charge and then a $7 discount according to the rep. I never had that feature until I added it as part of the promo.

You should be able to get the 6pm credit no problem since you have a student plan - that is if you do have a student plan, judging by the My10 you have.

You're paying for call display separately? I know they give out credits for it, but i think most people have it bundled in with the value packs already thus not being eligible for that specific feature credit. So in your case i would assume you CAN get it...just a matter of convincing them to add it onto your account somehow.

[Aynmat]

Ya..with the my10 plan I didn't really need any bundles...but can't live without call display. Will try to talk my way through it haha thanks!

[aznscrewball]

Ah darn my 1 year retention plan. I had high hopes, Oh well!

I called in for this, but they said it was only available if I was a student plan... I have valid student ID and everything but I'm not on a student plan... sucks, maybe I'll try again later.

well just to update, i got my bill in today and instead of my price being the same with the 6pm early evening freebie, I got my bill reduced some more lol :confused:

Did your bill specifically have a 6pm early evening student credit on it? or did they apply "monthly plan credits"?

Also, how much more did they credit anyway if you don't mind... curious as to their approach towards crediting it.

Ahh i see, so they didn't specifically give you the 6pm evening student credit then? I was hoping to hear that you did, rather than have the credits for the 6pm option tie up some of your monthly plan credits.

Anyway, good job on getting it though!

[salt_26]

I was on a 1 year contract.
When I added the student promo , they extended my contract to 3 years.
Before signing up for the promo, I confirmed with the CSR that everything including the length of the contract would remain the same. However I was mislead.
Just a heads up for everyone. 3 year contract = no good for me

[ktan09]

This isn't really worth it unless you already have the student plan, I'll just stick with my adult plan

[mattt33]

This isn't really worth it unless you already have the student plan, I'll just stick with my adult plan

But the thing is this $7 6pm student discount is supposedly applicable to ALL plans (i.e. not just the two student plans), but they apparently want you to renew for 3 years before giving it out.

Thus if it's available to "any" plan on a 3 year, then i don't see why it's not possible to apply it to a 1 year - i feel they just want to use it as leverage to get more 3 year contracts this way.

[asdisme]

How do we know or tell if they renewed your contract or not?

[mattt33]

How do we know or tell if they renewed your contract or not?

That's something i've never understood either... assuming most people renew over the phone, there's no actual documentation that states the length of your existing contract.

I know the discounts section on My Wireless Services online shows the expiry dates of the credits, but that's the only mention of any dates.

Anybody know about contract end dates?

[Cream Puff]

i'm on the family plan, is it really over to get the free evening + 5$ credit? or do i still have a shot if i call in?

[TheFuteballer]

i'm on the family plan, is it really over to get the free evening + 5$ credit? or do i still have a shot if i call in?

I called in just a couple minutes ago and a CSR confirmed this. However I had to move my contract under my own name (now it's consolidated in one bill for all the services in my house and my family).

My contract expires in a month so I'll see what I can get from retentions then.

[rshaikh]

Just on the phone with Rogers right now! The lady has no idea what I'm even talking about, she keeps asking me if I'm on a student plan. I have a corporate plan, 2 phone lines. She just said that she will leave a note on the account but i have to go down to the store and get the Early evenings or $5 credit.

So basically, if they can't add the early evenings then you get the credit.

Get back to you after i visit the Rogers store. :)

That's the thing... it appears that a lot of reps claim the student credit that's specific for the 6pm early evening (i.e. NOT just a monthly plan credit) can ONLY be applied on the student plans Rogers has.

They may end up giving you just a $5 generic monthly plan credit, but the issue with that is it counts towards your allowed maximum monthly plan credits, thus reducing your potential discounts.

[rshaikh]

Hi,

I called Rogers another 2 times. 1st guy said that the promo expired last year. But the last guy said that he had no idea what i was talking about, these reps are really clueless. However, he did leave a note on my account saying that if i call back with the 'Promotion #' the next rep would add it no questions asked. I spent almost an hour on the phone, can someone please call Rogers if they have gotten the $5 off and get me the promo #.

This would be really helpful, thanks! :)

-Rshaikh

[mattt33]

So did you end up going down to the store and ask them to add the student credit on?

Unfortunately if it's actually an expired promotion then i guess any promotion numbers wouldn't be valid now anyway right?

[Free Willy]

I got shot down. =( The guy said I needed to have a student plan... =(

[rshaikh]

Hi,

They told me the same thing, that it was only on student plans. I told them that i that wasn't true. They said that they could add it, but they don't even know if that promo ever existed. Stupid Reps. I'm gonna try again with the promo code, can someone please find out what it is.

It would be very helpful, Thx

[mattt33]

So after a total "investment" of two and a half hours, over five separate calls to Rogers, and speaking with eight different reps in the process (was transferred a couple times between departments)... I finally got the 6pm credit on my "non-student" plan with no contract renewal!

I'm verrry happy now :)

[rshaikh]

After talking to a very nice rep for 30 mins. I finally was told i can't get anything because theyre is sapce for only 1 MSD Code, and i already have 1 for free call display and some extra stuff that is with my plan.

Oh well, i tried :(

[funkymankevx]

Did anyone find out if this works for Fido customers?

I'm still wondering if anyone knows if this works for fido customers?

[G-DRAGON]

I just called for this and the rep never really gave me a straight answer on whether it's available or not. Instead it seemed like she was trying to avoid the topic and decided to give me a $7.00 credit that will be applied to all my bills till the end on my contract. She was nice and that credit is really gonna help, but I'm a student with no job and would really like the 6pm evenings free. So I'm going to call again tomorrow and see what happens.

What plan do you have at the moment? (i.e. an actual "student plan", regular in market plan, retentions plan, or corporate plan?)

[mattt33]

I just noticed in my online services that the discount line which shows this early evening credit doesn't appear to resemble the 6pm student discount everyone else has mentioned.

Instead of the "6 pm Eve Student Discount" or however it is, i have "Monthly Fee Credit 1 year." (i.e. NOT a "monthly plan credit")

Has anybody else seen this or currently have it on theirs as well and know if it's actually referring to the student credit or in fact some other credit?

[G-DRAGON]

What plan do you have at the moment? (i.e. an actual "student plan", regular in market plan, retentions plan, or corporate plan?)

I have a regular in market plan. I want to call Rogers again and ask for the free after 6pm but the rep will see that I just got a $7 credit yesterday. Does it really matter....

[mattt33]

Okay i see, yeah they may wonder why you're asking for another $7 credit when you just got one.

I would still try if i were you - may get lucky and get a rep who won't check and thus give it to you as well.

[Leon2828]

I have a family plan (I've got about 1.5 years left in a 3 year contract) so the rep told me that I would have to remove myself from the family plan and get another plan that is approved for the Student Overlay ("PLUS – Get the Student Overlay with any Rogers in-market plan (3 year term only)"). He was helpful since he tried to offer me the "best" option with one of their current family plans with a few more features such as SMS and early evenings starting at 6 pm for $5 additional dollars a month. I wasn't successful :(

[xchaosprince]

Did anyone manage to get credit when activating a new contract?

[ahsalloum]

Cool, thanks!

[lookingforstufffff]

This freebie needs a bump. :lol:

[mcg]

Hmm I totally forgot to ask about this... I'll probably call in after exams next week to get this done.

I'll complain about my tuition fees, and hopefully they can offset my data costs, :lol:

Problem is, not sure if they are willing to add a 6PM option free to a retentions account... right now I only have 8PM!

You might, just ensure your retention plan still has the monthly credits to spare (don't go over or you'll get audited) or make sure your account does not have any code associated to the account, only one code per account so if you're on a Corporate plan, I think you won't be able to get it.

[deal_king]

Does this deal work for Fido???

[G-DRAGON]

No only Rogers has this promotion.

[rokugatsu]

I just called Rogers and they said they don't have this anymore.
But I said my friend just got it in February, and they said they could add it in for me based on what I said... heh :T

[IceQue]

they still are giving it out I just added to my gfs plan this past weekend. Btw even though it is a 6pm credit. My plan starts at 5pm and I get the full 7 dollar credit

[IceQue]

So those of you that have the student early evenings credit. Change your start time to 5pm and it'll be covered! I'll post a screen of my bill so show.

[xGambitx]

is this also valid for Fido Customers?

[Skyline_Evo8]

I've read through the last three pages, and I think I understand what's going on for the most part. Just a few questions before I do this:

i) This deal still applies as of May 31st, right? Or at least May 28th, according to IceQue (just looking to reaffirm)

ii) Do I speak to Customer Service or Retentions?

iii) I don't really understand why Rogers would say that they're only offering the credit to people with Student Plans. Don't the Student Plans come with the 6:00pm early evenings credit anyway? Or is that just mine? I have the My10 Plan, with 100 anytime, 400 incoming, and 1000 Evening/Weekends, contract started September '08.

iv) I'm looking to add Call Display too, but without Name Display or Whocalled. Do you think it's possible to get the best of both worlds and receive some sort of credit and call display?

Thanks.

[mcg]

The rep I talked to said I needed a student plan to be qualified for the 6pm student discount.

But from what you said above, they probably lied to me. Fags.

[HowEver]

We would tell you how to get the discount, if you weren't homophobic.

[flashstorm]

is it still true that students can get $5 off a value pack?

[bubble.tea]

We would tell you how to get the discount, if you weren't homophobic.

How do you know the dude isn't British, and was just using 'fags' in the Brit manner to describe a cigarette? :lol:

[user01]

I did it to my phone like during the promotion period, I just did it to my friend's family plan phone and he couldn't get it. He was able to get the caller display for free, other than that, I couldn't get him the 6 PM evening unlimited. :evil:

[mattt33]

So those of you that have the student early evenings credit. Change your start time to 5pm and it'll be covered! I'll post a screen of my bill so show.

Thanks! and just to clarify, the pertaining credit for the 6pm option you have is actually noted as:

6 pm Eve Student Discount - To be removed on xx/xx/20xx

...and NOT just a "monthly plan credit" applied to the account?

thanks

[mikeweb]

I called Fido and they said that they will be having this promo starting in about 1-2wks

[da_hool]

they still are giving it out I just added to my gfs plan this past weekend. Btw even though it is a 6pm credit. My plan starts at 5pm and I get the full 7 dollar credit

Hmm... I currently have $7 6PM with the student discount. If I change to the $10 TalkSpot plan that includes 5PM Early Eve, do you think the $7 discount will work still?

[EdLeafs]

Do you have to have a plan? I'm on pay as you go, do you think that will work?

[oilerfan4lyfe]

They told me that I had to switch to a student plan in order to get this...I'm currently on a retention plan so it didn't make sense to switch just for this.

[moxy]

Doubtful for Pay As You Go but if the rep gives you a hard time just tell them to go to the main site and then Wireless and Offers of the Day (or promotion). From there tell them to go into the Student Offers and then you can point out where it says "A student can activate on any eligible Rogers in-market plan and get 6 PM early evening calling"

That way they can't argue with you or give you a hard time.

[eugeneo]

I asked this at Howard Forums but I got no responce, but I thought I would ask here as well.

"Hello, I understand that the $17.50 EPP plan eve/weekends start at 6PM but how about those who are on the $20.00 EPP Plan and eve/weekends start at 9PM?

Are people on the $20 EPP plan still eligible?

Thanks"

[jperras]

I just switched to the $20 for 200 minutes EPP plan which includes free weekends and evenings starting at 9 pm. What I would like to know as well is if this current EPP plan is eligible for the student discount so I can get the free evenings to start much earlier. I just called in trying to add the student discount but got rejected saying that because I have the EPP plan I am not able to add the extra student discount. Is this true? I thought the EPP plan was considered an in-market plan, and the offer clearly states that the student discount can be added to any in-market plan. Should I keep calling back wasting my time with them trying to get this student discount?

[moxy]

Sorry, what does EPP stand for? If it's a retention plan then no, it's not considered "in market".

[jperras]

EPP- Employee price plan. Definitely not a retentions plan.

[Vietlord]

I wanna do this, but I'm pay as you go.
): No chances for me to get this right?

[Rx8-black]

I wanna do this, but I'm pay as you go.

not likely..lol

[Justification]

Do they still have this? I switched plans recently and noticed the bastards took it away...


EDIT: They still have this. Although I had to do it through retentions, although I suspect that's just because regular customer service reps are incompetent.

[karlsberg]

if your a student you can just go into a Rogers store....the employee has to call up and verify ur student number (ie, u have to show the student card)

[Danv]

Is it free ? Or do we have to renew?

[blehandblah]

does this freebie still exist? or is it not available anymore because there are new student plans for 2010?

[dragon_drift]

does this freebie still exist? or is it not available anymore because there are new student plans for 2010?

not sure, but i still have it though. doesn't hurt to call in and try asking for it.

[mfernandes90]

i called in today to get it and they added the 6pm early eve/weekend for me, although i dont have free evenings so for me it only applies to early weekends....But they did not give me 5 dollars off a value pack as they say that only applies to the new student plans, i did not get any other freebies but the 6pm thing. So yes they still have this only asked me where i went to school did not call to verify or ask for student number.

[antigua1999]

thanks op my son can use this.

[mfernandes90]

is this still going on? can anyone confirm this?

[jason.chan07]

This deal is expired and better lock up the thread to avoid more confusion.

I just called in and the representative said that this is not offered anymore and suggested that I look to signing up a new contract under the student plans they are promoting right now.

So good luck!

[merriboo]

I called in a couple of days ago and asked about this, and the representative said that this was just for retention..
