Misleading Agreement End Date for iPhone Tab Bonus – Unexpected Tab Bonus Charge After Porting Out

Hello Koodo Community,

I would like to raise a concern about how my Tab Bonus contract end date was presented in my agreement, which I believe is unclear and misleading, and resulted in an unexpected charge after I ported out.

Here is my situation:

  • I purchased a Refurbished iPhone from Koodo with a Tab agreement.
  • The agreement clearly shows on the first page:
    • Agreement Effective Date: December 2, 2024
    • Agreement End Date: January 2, 2025 (renews month‑to‑month)

Based on this, I reasonably understood that my agreement obligations ended on January 2, 2025.

Pricing details shown in the agreement:

  • Full retail price: $1,049
  • Total Tab amount: ‑$288
  • Tab Bonus: ‑$761

Before porting out my number, I specifically checked the agreement and relied on the Agreement End Date shown at the top of the first page. Because that date had already passed, I believed there would be no remaining Tab Bonus obligation.

However, after porting out last month, I received a bill for $437.06 + tax (total $493.88), broken down as:

  • $317.06 – Tab Bonus cancellation
  • $120 – Tab debit

My concern:

The Agreement End Date is displayed very clearly and prominently, but the Tab Bonus repayment condition and its true end requirement are not equally clear or obvious at that point.

As a customer, when I see an agreement labeled as ended and month‑to‑month, it is reasonable to assume that all contractual commitments — including promotional credits — have ended unless clearly stated otherwise next to that end date.

If the Tab Bonus requires staying active beyond the listed Agreement End Date, this should be:

  • Clearly stated on the first page, or
  • Explicitly labeled as a separate commitment with its own end date

Because of this presentation, I made a decision based on the information shown, which led to an unexpected and significant charge.

I am posting this to:

  • Ask Koodo to review this case fairly
  • Request a reassessment or adjustment of the Tab Bonus cancellation charge
  • Provide feedback that the contract layout may mislead customers in similar situations

I appreciate any assistance from moderators or Koodo representatives.

Thank you.

Koodo separated the monthly plan and Tab amount. The plan is not linked directly with the Tab. Your plan is renewed monthly but the Tab amount is spreaded out into 24 month period.

Hence what you saw is the contract for the rate plan not your overall Tab amount. More information can be fine here https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help/everything-you-need-to-know-about-tab?

As of now, if you regreted, you can ask a rep to come back to Koodo by scheduling a call back from them.

Do you still have access to your Self-Serve account? Are you able to provide a screenshot of the page showing the outstanding Tab and Tab Bonus balance? Make sure to remove any personal details, as this is a public forum.

Are your years correct?

Did you change your plan like to a seasonal hold plan at any point in time?

Did you read the entire agreement?  Did it mention the tab?
