So in the end, I was able to get a slightly better offer, but it only became available today, despite others having success getting similar a day or two prior to Black Friday. And even then, I had to do the live chat and ask for it - it wasn't available as a self-serve option on my account.

And you're probably right re: retentions/loyalty at Fido. When they transferred me to that "department", it was really just the same thing. "I'm only seeing these deals available for your account". The best I got was "wait until tomorrow for something similar". And I guess he was right.
Yeah, my brother and I have been trying to lower the cost of our plans. But we've been getting run arounds for a long time. That's why we've been suspecting that retentions doesn't actually exist anymore. It's a dumping ground.

We along with my mom are on $55 for 50GB plans (same account from years ago, we pay for parents phone plans). Saving $21x3 per month would be huge for us too, if we can get through and change our plans to that. I was able to swap my dad from a $45 plan to the $34 plan before the site crashed as his was on a its own account that I pay and manager.

Fingers crossed it goes through for at least that one.
