I have 70 GB of data received in My Perks and don't know anyone to gift it to. I will use some of it but, it is more than I need. How do I gift individual Perk data to others without taking a hit to my own data amount? Some of it expires in 107 days and others 142 days. I would prefer to gift a good amount of it rather than let it expire. I've been with Fizz for a few years but, never did this before. Thanks for any help.

    Most perks are non-giftable. If it is, you'll see a button for it under the perk activation button. But for the most part, only data from you actual mobile plan is giftable.

    Thanks for the reply. :) So would that mean I would have to activate a perk for my own use, then find someone to gift that data to them? It would have been nice if I could just transfer a data perk card to someone's account, but I guess it doesn't work that way.

    With most perks, you can only use their benefit on your own plan.
    So you could either activate it and use it, or let it expire.
    Only the data from your monthly mobile plan, I.E 20GB, 35GB, etc.. that resets monthly, is giftable to other users.
    With some exceptions, I have seen sharable perks before but seems it's not the case with the perks from this latest Black Friday events.

    If you really want to gift data to people, you can activate your perks to use on your own behalf and then gift some of your actual plan data to others. It ultimately works out data-wise the same as if you were able to directly gift the perks.

    Added: Since they expire so far from now, you may want to wait until they're in danger of expiring before you gift their value to someone else -- you may end up needing that extra data yourself in a couple of months.

    You can gift your own data if you want and use the perks. It is the same thing.

    Almost the same,
    Only data from perks usually expires faster than plan data and won't roll over for as many billing cycles.
    Of course that might not matter to everyone.

    You can't gift perk data.

    Correct. Just gift the plan data then use the perk data.
