Talk and text are not included with this offer.
In most countries, PPU is quite reasonable.
T&C #17 on the website.
17. Roam Beyond Gig Giveaway Data Pass Offer:
The Roam Beyond Gig Giveaway data pass offer described below is available in store only for a limited time while quantities last and is subject to change or cancellation without notice. To be eligible, you must be subscribed to a Prepaid or Postpaid line on an eligible plan ($34+ plans after Digital Discount), however if you paid a deposit to activate service you are not eligible. Redemption is limited to one pass per eligible line.
Starting on June 20, 2024, Freedom Mobile will give away 20,000 1GB Roam Beyond data passes to the first 20,000 eligible lines. The 1GB Roam Beyond data pass can only be used in eligible Roam Beyond destinations (see www.freedommobile.ca/roambeyond for full list of destinations), other than destinations that may already be included in your rate plan (such as the U.S. or Mexico). The 1GB of included data will expire on January 31, 2025 or if you change your rate plan to a non-eligible plan – whichever comes first. Talk and text are not included with this offer. Any talk or text usage, and data usage after the 1GB Roam Beyond data pass is depleted, will be automatically charged at our pay-per-use rates (see our current rates).
The offer will end on July 3, 2024 or when all 20,000 1GB Roam Beyond data passes have been given away – whichever comes first. Eligible customers can receive the offer at any Freedom Mobile store while quantities remain available. The 1GB Roam Beyond data pass will be applied to your account within 7 days of redemption.

Edit 1:
Looks like a one-time pass that expires end of Jan. 31, 2025. Good for anyone who wants to get a simple 1GB roam pass and is traveling soon.
Not for me but thanks OP. Good luck all.
Edit 2:
Pass is worth $20 if it's the 89 destination version or $30 if it's the 101 destination version.

Added this to my line. The store rep was clueless about this and had to read a bunch on stuff before she was able to add. The only worthy comment was that she wasn’t sure if the roaming would cap automatically at 1gb or whether it would continue and charge me after the 1gb was exceeded. My gut tells me it’s the latter so be forewarned that anyone getting this keep track of the usage otherwise you could be in for a nasty surprise! Good luck and thanks OP for this freebie.

It's not quite a pass because talk and text are not included per the terms.

Per the terms you will be charged for excess usage at pay per use rates. However Freedom's pay per use rates are typically $0.03/0.05 per MB so much less than the $5 / MB you often see with the big 3 cartel.

Does the $100/year 50gb plan work for this addon?

According to the Terms and Conditions, it may take up to 7 days before the pass is applied to you account. I went to the store today to take advantage of this offer and the rep said the same thing. It's been added but still waiting for the pass to show up on my account to know that it has been applied and ready to use. Hopefully will not have to wait the full 7 days.

I think it does work for the 50gb $99 plan but it won’t be free for you.

So it's just standard addon rates...

Doesn’t specifically say “per month”. I would take a run at it if I was in the mall and didn’t have anything better to do with my time than argue with a Freedom store clerk :p

I was the first person to ask for this in the store. The store received the memo yesterday, so it was a smooth process. I was able to get the 1GB added to all the eligible post paid numbers in my account. Perfect as 1 person is out of the country right now. The CSR thought the data was effective immediately, but we'll see.
Thanks @thatsavingsguy

I spoke to freedom and they confirmed it was added to my account, but they actually said it won’t ever show in my account online as it’s a data pass promo. However, you will get notifications by sms text (and they said email too but not sure about that) alerting you when the usage hits 50%, 30%, 20%, 10%, and 5%.

So it is one time only? Not monthly?
Also, can you do the debug trick to see if it is added to your account?

It's very confusing. Spoke to 3 different customer service reps. All said different things. They all agree that the promo has been applied but one said it would take a few minutes to receive an SMS text from freedom to state it has indeed been activated. Another said you won't receive a text but it will show up on your online account and the last rep (supervisor) said you need to wait up to 7 days for it to be activated (as stated in the terms and conditions) and I will receive a text from freedom mobile to state it has been activated and ready for use and it will then show up under Addons and Passes in my online account under One-Time Addons. Looks like no one at Freedom Mobile really knows or been informed what's going on with this promotion.
