How We Verify
Why we bother
Referral-code sites have a trust problem: many post the biggest number they can find and never check it again. With Fizz it’s trickier still, because fizz.ca contradicts itself — more on that below. So we follow a fixed routine and show our work, including what we have not verified yet.
What we checked on July 14, 2026
fizz.ca serves regional variants of its pages depending on the province it detects. On July 14, 2026, we fetched both official program pages — fizz.ca/en/invite-friends and fizz.ca/fr/inviter-des-amis — forcing each of the five region cookies in turn (Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta, British Columbia), and archived every capture. Result: all five variants, in both languages, say the same thing — $25 for the new member, $25 for the referrer.
The $25 / $40 contradiction
The same day, we found fizz.ca/en/mobile — the main mobile-plans page, in its Ontario variant — advertising a $40 new-member bonus while the Quebec variant of the same page says $25. Two official pages, two numbers. We saved copies of both versions and document the whole thing, with dates, on $25 or $40?. A real checkout is the tiebreaker: an Ontario order applied $40 on July 16, 2026, then $25 on October 21, 2026. So we now publish $25 in every province, and report the plan-page $40 as a claim the checkout did not honour, until a checkout shows it again.
What we haven’t verified yet
On July 16, 2026 we took a real new-member order to the code field and photographed both the field and the displayed bonus (captures on where to enter the code and $25 or $40) — without submitting the order. Still unverified: a complete end-to-end activation (eSIM installed, service live), the field’s exact label in the French interface, and the amount displayed in a Quebec checkout. Each will be added here, dated, when verified.
Our ongoing method
- Automated daily monitoring. Every day a script loads the official program pages and the plan pages in a real (headless) browser, in both languages, as a visitor in each of the five regions sees them — 20 checkpoints — opening the collapsed referral FAQ where the amount sits. It alerts us to any change in amounts or conditions, and a page it cannot read is recorded as a failure — never as a pass.
- Monthly manual review. Once a month, a human reads the official pages and our pages side by side, in case a change slips past the script.
- A dated log. Every check is added to the log below. We never log a test we didn’t run.
Verification log
| Date | What we checked | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-21 | Checkout test (Ontario): the referral code on this site entered in the “Promo or referral code” field on a real Fizz order. Then the fizz.ca pages that name a referral amount re-read in a real browser, by region: the program page, the site-wide menu and the plan-page referral FAQ in all five regions, plus the offers page, the home page and two referral FAQ articles (ON and QC), in both languages. | Code accepted; the order summary showed $25 for the new member, not the $40 the Ontario plan-page FAQ advertises. On fizz.ca, the program page and the menu (“$25 for you, $25 for them”) say $25 in all five regions and the offers page says “save $25”; only the plan-page FAQ in ON, AB, BC and MB says $40, for both sides. Changed: we now publish $25 for the new member in every province (was $40 outside Quebec, from the July 16 cart). The referrer amount stays attributed — $25 per the program page and menu, $40 per the plan-page FAQ. The daily check now reads the program page’s own sentence and the menu line, since the menu’s $25 appears on every fizz.ca page. |
| 2026-10-21 | Program pages, the plan-page referral FAQ and Fizz’s referral FAQ articles in all five regions and both languages, in a real browser (the daily check run by hand: 20/20); plan-builder prices in ON, AB, BC, QC and MB; featured offers; Home Internet prices. Done earlier the same day, before the checkout test in the row above. | New-member amounts unchanged: $25 on the program pages, $40 in the plan-page FAQ outside Quebec. New: that FAQ now says “you both receive a $40 referral bonus” — in July it named no amount for the referrer — so our referrer and disclosure wording gives both amounts, and the daily check now asserts the referrer clause too. Corrected: Fizz’s FAQ says a code “cannot be entered when ordering a physical SIM card”; five of our pages said it could be confirmed at activation. Plan examples refreshed: in Ontario, 35GB Canada $30 (was $35) and 100GB Canada-US $37 (was $46), and the 80GB/$34 offer is gone; Quebec has its own steps (40GB Canada $35, 100GB Canada-US $48). Provincial no-data plans cost $13–21 depending on the province, and the $20 minimum is about price, not data: some no-data plans meet it. Home Internet: $45–70 on fizz.ca, replacing third-party figures. |
| 2026-10-05 | Checkout test: the referral code on this site entered in the “Promo or referral code” field on a real Fizz order. | Code accepted. |
| 2026-09-08 | All 20 region-and-language checkpoints re-read in a real browser, region forced by cookie, collapsed referral FAQ opened | $40 advertised in ON, AB, BC and MB in both languages; no referral FAQ on Quebec plan pages; $25 on the program pages everywhere. Correction: on September 6 we had narrowed our claim to “$25 guaranteed” because the daily check stopped finding the $40. The check was at fault — it never opened the FAQ the amount sits in. It now forces each region by cookie and reads the page as a visitor there sees it, replacing the August 31 method of reading data-region tags from raw markup, which does not show what a visitor sees. Details in the change log. |
| 2026-09-01 | Checkout test: the referral code on this site entered in the “Promo or referral code” field on a real Fizz order. | Code accepted. |
| 2026-08-31 | Daily check rewritten. It had been red since 2026-08-08 on two false alarms: Fizz reworded “get a $40 bonus” to “get a one-time $40 bonus”, and the old check expected $25 on a plan page that never states it. | fizz.ca ships every regional variant in one document and hides the non-matching ones with JavaScript, so a region cookie proves nothing. The check now reads the data-region tags out of the markup and matches amounts near the word “bonus” rather than whole sentences. Re-confirmed: program pages $25 in both languages; the $40 plan-page bonus is tagged AB/ON/BC/MB, excluding Quebec. |
| 2026-07-16 | Real new-member order (Ontario, $24/month) taken to the payment step; code entered in the “Promo or referral code” field; order not submitted; captures published | Checkout displayed “Referral: -$40 applied to your 3rd payment” — $40 in Ontario, two-month schedule confirmed |
| 2026-07-14 | Official program pages (EN and FR) in all five regional variants (QC, ON, MB, AB, BC); captures archived | All five variants show $25 for the new member and $25 for the referrer |
New rows are added after each check. A change detected between reviews is recorded the day we confirm it.
Corrections
If you spot an error — a stale amount, a condition that changed, a step that no longer matches — tell us through the contact page. We verify against official sources and fix it within a day, with the change dated.
One more piece of transparency: when someone activates with the code on this site, we receive a credit on our own Fizz bill — $25 per Fizz’s program page, or $40 outside Quebec per its plan-page FAQ. That never changes what you get — the bonus is identical with any code. Details are on how we earn.
Frequently asked questions
How often do you check the amounts?
Daily, automatically: a script loads Fizz's official program pages and its plan pages in a real browser, in French and English, as a visitor in each of the five regions sees them — 20 checkpoints in all. It alerts us to any change, and a page it cannot read is recorded as a failure, never as a pass. A human runs a full review every month on top.
Have you tested a complete activation?
Our log records the code entered and accepted at checkout on real Fizz orders, most recently on October 21, 2026, in Ontario, where the order summary showed the $25 bonus. The order we documented with screenshots, on July 16, 2026, was taken to the code field and not submitted. Each log row says exactly what that test covered.
Why do some sites advertise $40?
Because fizz.ca itself does: the plan-page FAQ still advertises $40 to visitors in Ontario, Alberta, B.C. and Manitoba, and an Ontario test order applied it on July 16, 2026. But our October 21, 2026 Ontario checkout applied $25, matching the program page, the site menu and the offers page; Quebec plan pages carry no referral FAQ at all. Full detail, with dates, on $25 or $40.
How do I report a mistake?
Through the contact page. We check against fizz.ca's official sources and fix confirmed errors within a day, with the change dated.
Do you earn anything when someone uses your code?
Yes: a referral credit on our own Fizz bill at the new member's two-month anniversary — $25 per Fizz's program page, or $40 outside Quebec per its plan-page FAQ. Your bonus is identical with any code — see how we earn.
