Checkout gives $25 in Ontario, not the $40 Fizz's plan FAQ advertises
October 21, 2026
On October 21, 2026, a real Ontario order using the code on this site showed a $25 referral bonus for the new member in the order summary — not the $40 that the plan-page FAQ in Ontario, Alberta, B.C. and Manitoba still advertises. The same day, the fizz.ca pages that name an amount were re-read in a real browser, by region: the program page ("you’ll each get a $25 referral bonus") and the site-wide menu ("$25 for you, $25 for them") say $25 in all five regions, and the offers page says "save $25"; only that plan-page FAQ says $40, for both sides. A July 16, 2026 Ontario cart had applied $40. We now publish $25 for the new member in every province. The referrer amount stays attributed: $25 per the program page and menu, $40 per the plan-page FAQ.
Fizz now advertises $40 for the referrer too (outside Quebec)
October 21, 2026
The plan-page FAQ "What is the Fizz referral program?", served in Ontario, Alberta, B.C. and Manitoba, now says "you both receive a $40 referral bonus". In July 2026 it gave no amount for the referrer. The program page still says $25 for each side, and the FAQ is still absent in Quebec. Our pages that said "$25, full stop" for the referrer are corrected, and our disclosure now states both amounts. One more change in Fizz's own FAQ: a referral code "cannot be entered when ordering a physical SIM card" — it goes in at line activation. Our guides said otherwise and are corrected.
Correction: the $40 never went away — our checker was broken
September 8, 2026
On September 6, 2026, this site narrowed its claim from "$40 outside Quebec" to "$25 guaranteed", on the strength of an automated check that could no longer find the $40 on fizz.ca's plan pages. That check was at fault. The amount sits inside a collapsed FAQ whose toggle is an anchor (<a>), not a <button>; the checker's selector matched only <button>, so the FAQ never opened, and a missing amount was read as a withdrawn offer. It could not tell "not advertised" from "never looked", and it stayed green. Re-verified today across all 20 region-and-language checkpoints with the region cookie forced: fizz.ca does advertise $40 in Ontario, Alberta, B.C. and Manitoba, in both languages ("you'll get a one-time $40 bonus"), and carries no referral FAQ at all in Quebec, where the programme page says $25. The "$40 outside Quebec / $25 in Quebec" framing is restored. The checker has been rewritten: it drives the region by cookie, reads what a visitor actually sees, and a FAQ it cannot open is now a verification failure rather than a pass.
Cart-verified: $40 outside Quebec, $25 in Quebec
July 16, 2026
A real new-member order (Ontario, $24/month, not submitted) displayed "Referral: -$40 applied to your 3rd payment" with this site's code applied — screenshots published. The same day, a live check of all five regional variants of fizz.ca confirmed the $40 is advertised in Ontario, Alberta, B.C. and Manitoba, while Quebec pages say $25. The site's framing moved from "$25 guaranteed" to "$40 outside Quebec / $25 in Quebec", and the daily monitor now covers 15 checkpoints (both program pages plus the plans-page FAQ, across all five regions).
Launch — $25/$25 verified across all five regions
July 14, 2026
Site launch. The official program pages (fizz.ca/en/invite-friends and /fr/inviter-des-amis) were fetched and archived in all five regional variants (QC, ON, MB, AB, BC): every one showed $25 for the new member and $25 for the referrer. The contradiction with non-Quebec plan pages (advertising $40) was documented the same day, with saved captures.
