Hi @Mordy
Do you have a screenshot of the usage? You are supposed to have a block with a Perks of 0GB and the arrow pointing to this.

Data is definitely used but with this Perk it should not be counted.
e.g. You had 2GB remaining, you activated the Perk and during the day you used 1GB. If you check your daily usage, it will show 1GB but data remaining still will be 2GB.

I have used this perk before without an issue and I understand how it works. What I meant by it used up data, was that it was deducting it from the data I have left.

Did it use data from your plan or data someone gifted you?
From what I saw in other posts, gifted data is always used first, before everything else.
If it used data from your plan, it's not normal, contact support.

If this is the case it is still a problem, since the perk has a 1 day validity which in 99% of the case should convert the normal situation
If you have a data gifted or rollover or you own data with a day of validity, it is not a good strategy to activate the perk on that day
Therefore, if it used the gifted data with more than a day validity, this must be an error

Possible.
But also possible that Fizz puts the gifted data on top to be used first in order to preserve the spirit of this feature, which is sharing, giving a little help when needed by the end of the month, once in a while. Thus preventing it to become a way of life.
But we don't even know if it's the case here.
Anyway, I'm leaving for a few days, and just activated one of those, I'll see what is taken first. Here is what I have at the moment, I just began a new cycle, only a bit of the transfer had been used befor adding the 0 Mo gift:

After a short discussion with a Fizz representative, they confirmed that it simply won't kick in if you have any gifted data remaining :
"Following my verification on your account, I could observe that your perk of unlimited data didn't work due to the fact that you received data as a gift and the gifted data was prioritized. You can also see this data in your account > My plans > Usage. Please read more about viewing usage here: https://fizz.ca/en/faq/how-do-i-view-my-usage"
In my case, I had 1GB gifted data left, and used over 2GB on that day, which meant draining 1GB of my own data while the perk was active. Despite being activated it did not cover any usage and was still consumed.
As gifting data is one of the core features, this perk is misleading at best - I feel like a lot of users will end up draining their data like I did, thinking that they are covered...
