OK, so this is the interesting one...

I was offered 1K CW minutes and 1GB data. Got confirmation message and found that i have 500 CW minutes and 5GB data on $15 plan.....

I was offered 1GB + 1000 minutes, but got 5GB Data instead...for both my PM lines. Wonder if I should contact them to get it fixed. The 5GB is worth more (and LTE data too), but I don't use a lot of data on my PM lines.

Data add-ons do not have speeds assigned to them. The data will operate at whatever speed your main plan runs at.

I know. I have the $10 plans, so any data addon is LTE data.

I was given the 5GB too and just got a text saying tomorrow the 1000 minutes will get added. Looks like PM is getting really aggressive vs Freedom.

PM always amaze me with their freebies... They are keep coming...

I just received another PM text message informing me that I will be getting 1000 free one-time Canada-wide minutes to my account tomorrow and keeping the 5GB data add-on which I received last week. Instead of changing the 5GB data I already received to 1GB, PM is letting me to keep the 5GB data and adding 1000 CW minutes to my account tomorrow.

2019: 2GB data and 400 international calling minutes.
2020: 5GB data and 1000 CW minutes.
Have too many phones... This is how I limit my monthly phone payment.

I originally signed up for the 1GB + 1000 Canada-Wide Minutes and then received 5GB in my account. I just received another text from PM saying they are going to add the 1000 Canada-Wide Minutes to my account tomorrow. Bonus!!

Ditto, both me and my partner. Fantastic, certainly no reason to switch carriers when the bonuses keep coming on a $13.00 plan.

Give it time. They will vote with their wallet. There is no free lunch. Someone has to pay for the free phone.
PM promos this year is not that hot. With hot PM promo, it sells itself for you by doing the math with your target person.

The only barrier to people jumping onto the PM wagon is LTE data is no longer an available option.

This mistake will cost PM short term income hit.

Those subscribers with unlimited minutes plan cannot use the 1000 minutes add-on. With the extra 5GB + 1000 minutes add-ons, subscribers will be downgrading their plan to $15 plan.

How long do the bonus offers last i.e. expiration on the extra data?

The free data is a data add-on which does not have expiry date. Any unused data will be rolled to next billing cycle until you used them all.
