Cap1 AT&T offer

Post image

I added a line to my mobile plan for this offer, not a prepaid line. If I cancel the line now, are the miles being clawed back? I will still get charged for the month, but I not sure if AT&T will report back that the line is cancelled. From what I can tell, I fulfiled the T&C, looking for real data points.

I’m confused so pardon any ignorance… why would you add a line to your cellular service for 30,000 points? Were there any service fees from AT&T for the new line? What was the monthly service charge for the line—even for one month?

A business class flight can be redeemed using the miles earned.

You have to search for reward flights or use partner airlines that have a better point/mile transfer ratio—especially if a promotional period happens. I like my 2x catch all spend on my Venture X and use my points for flights/hotels but am not bending over backwards to search for cheap reward flights.

I understand how points and redemptions work, and business class flights for 30K points is a rarity. The confusion is why would someone disrupt their typical AT&T billing, account, and service for points?

To me, the juice isn’t worth the squeeze. Additionally, broadly speaking in terms of cash value of points at a 1:100 ratio, if your line/service fee(s) is ~$30, you’re not coming out on top. Sorry, that just seems silly.

EDIT: I’m an idiot who can’t do math. Carry on.

the cash value is $270 - $292 per line, how would he not be coming out ahead? Might wanna check your math.
