[Fido] Get a $0 tablet on a FREE 2-year tablet plan (targeted) (Read Thread Summary)

mod edit: to clear up any confusion with the existing Fido promo, this offer will get you the 2-year tablet plan for free (regularly $15 month) and is stacked with the everyday offer of free tablet (Huawei Mediapad T5 10) with a 2-year data-only plan. So you are getting both tablet and 2 years of service for $0. It's targetted and you should have gotten an SMS with the offer

Thread Summary
added by aasoror (6/20/2020):

Q: What is this deal about?
A: Normally Fido offers a free tablet (Huawei Mediapad T5 10) on their tablet data-only plans (4GB/$15 monthly) with a 2-year commitment. This deal gets you the data-only plan for $0 (free) for 2-years and because you are signing a 2-year agreement you get the tablet for $0.

Q: What is the eligibility requirement?
A: Being an existing Fido customer with any "postpaid" mobile plan and receiving the offer SMS.

Q: I should be eligible but got no SMS, what's the deal?
A: Seems not everyone targeted got the offer SMS, if you meet the eligibility (postpaid mobile plan) call Fido (1-844-423-3436) and ask them to check your eligibility.

Q: I am not quite eligible, is all hope lost?
A: If you are missing one (or more) eligibility requirement, try calling to see if upgrading to an eligible plan would get you the promo (i.e. from talk and text, to talk, text and data)

Q: Are BYOD customers eligible?
A: it's irrelevant, BYOD or not, you just need a postpaid mobile plan.

Q: What's the catch?
A: That you keep an eligible mobile plan with Fido throughout the course of the contract.

Q: I signed up at the store, got the tablet and left, my contract doesn't show any discounts, is that normal?
A: Unless they are having backend issue that usually means your discounts didn't go through, you can call/chat and check if everything is in order, but it's better to just go back to the store where you signed up and make sure they clear the issue.

Q: Is it free or is it $0?
A: free is not taxable, $0 promos are not free, so expect to be billed for the taxes on the tablet value ($360). With that said, on prior deals, people reported not getting taxed regardless.

Q: Anything more do I need to know?
A: It's not the first round of this offer, check fido-fido-xtra-get-0-tablet-free-2-year ... 1-2306636/ for more info.

Q: It seems there is no way for me to get on this deal, any other options?
A: Sure, check the main thread: fido-4gb-lte-data-plan-10-byod-no-contr ... t-2078212/

Q: Which part of the T&C legally binds tablet plans to the main mobile plan?
A: this

It's a targeted offer. It gets posted here once in a while. For example: fido-fido-free-tablet-free-4gb-month-24-months-2331442/

ONE THING YOU SHOULD KNOW!!!

if you take this promotion, you have to keep associated fido mobile plan during these 2 years. Otherwise, you have to pay for the tablet when you cancel your fido plan.

I got this text and the offer. You could choose between Huawei or Samsung tablet. This is for $0. Plan price $0 as well, for 24 months. I chose Huawei because it is a 10" and the Samsung one was a 8.4" display. I think it is only for those customers that are offered. The CSR asked me if I had received the text and confirmed that from the account as well.

Just chatting with CSR. she insists the tablet isn't free but the plan is free. so you get the tablet for 15 a month, but you don't pay for the plan

The offer is super tempting esp as I am in the market for a tablet anyways but no way I'm renewing my Fido contract with the current plan

If only retention offered me a good deal :(
