First time posting here please bare with me but I saw this in my account when I was about to pay my bill with Koodo.

Little bit of context here I've been with Koodo for exactly 1 year now as of this August. I am currently on the PM to Koodo offer of $35/5GB, I am not planning to change anytime soon but these plans are amazing if this line was mine lol.

Koodo is trying to push the monthly spending up.

I pay $45 a month and the lowest offer I have is $50.

if I choose extra large plan, do I still have to pay the extra $ per month? extra $30?

I think $45 6gb, $50 8gb etc should be standard now. Carriers should end targeted plan bs now.

I got the same Med tab offer, currently on $40/8GB plan. So won't move because I am far from reaching that 8GB limit.

I feel like there’s going to be a crazy plan or a really good deal this coming Boxing Day to Christmas. I’m seeing a lot of carriers trying to lock in people now so the people who might sign up for these “plans” will miss out on it.

Yes, they are offering these to increase your monthly spending.
I see these offers on my $ 20 unlimited talk and text plan.
I bet they can't offer me these if I choose to add a line instead of upgrading the existing line.

You will never be targeted for lower than what you are currently paying.
unless until in-market plans get cheaper, which is high probability as time passes.

There's dozens of us. My GF and my friend both got the offers, even tho I referred them.

I don't fail, I succeed at finding what doesn't work

Thanks, OP. Not looking to change the current plans on my three lines, but texted my sister and she's checking her account to see if they're available.

I saw this yesterday and phoned them, you need yo buy a phone in order to lock these plans in.
Also OP where are you located? Im in GTA i have $48 for 3gb canada wide calling, VM, etc. And for my
Account they are offering $45 for 4gb and $50 for 6gb, all with canada wide calling. I hate these arbitrary deals they dish out. Ive also been with koodoo much longer than you, like 5 years

Logged in and saw these options if I want to go on a Tab with a new phone. The Tab Large plans apply to Extra Large and Extra Extra Large as well!

I'm currently on the $60 for 10GB, Unlimited Calls, and Unlimited Messaging.

As others said, it seems like Koodo wants that extra bump of $5 to $15 for the plan and also want to lock people in with a Tab payment for a phone.

Still, the $65 for 12GB of Data looks decent for heavy users and I can get a payment plan if I want to upgrade... tempting...
