OK, not sure if I should update this current post or start a new thread…
In addition to this offer there is an offer through Shop Rite starting 9/6. Spend $50 on certain GCs and get $10 off your next in store purchase. (20% savings)
Lucky me, I got the 20% off on the current offer (up to $20) so since I only bought one $50 GC when this thread started, I still had $50 left to “invest”.
That means including the $10 store purchase coupon, I’ll earn a bonus 40% on the next $50 Lowes GC I buy at Shop Rite tomorrow.
Here’s the offer:
GCs included:
Bass Pro Shops
Cabela’s
Domino’s
Fanatics
Lowe’s
Subway

I made 7 purchases at same location over the past month and all credits showed up almost instantly. The last three at the exact same location haven’t showed up after three days. Called amex and was assured that they qualify and as per terms, it could take up to 90 days to receive credit…

Not sure if this is the same (or like) promotion.
Get 20% back as a statement credit by using your enrolled Card to make purchases in-store at Shoprite or online at shoprite.com by 10/5/2020. Limit of $20 in total statement credits.

"ongoing offer, not 1X"
seems like your statement applies to different promo?

@mrvietnam
It’s not a “month” thing. By coincidence, I got the following notice on one of my very old accounts created after R+ went down where I had paygo $ but never really used the number:
We noticed that more than 90 days have passed since your last order.
As stated in our Service Agreement your Tello number +1 (xxxxxxx) together with your Pay As You Go balance (if any), will automatically expire on xxxx .
To keep this number and avoid service termination you can go ahead and subscribe to a Tello plan in the following days. Regardless of any account activity (call, SMS, data usage), your number will expire if no order is registered by xxxx .
Please note that once deactivated, a Tello number can no longer be retrieved.

@mrvietnam
++ to what the article said.
I don’t think you can renew every 3 months according to their terms. There is a catch that makes it you need to add money every ? days. I think it is more like every 2 months?? Call customer service. They are really amazing.
I just sent you a PM.

@mrvietnam
so you might consider keeping your paygo balance in play and only taking the dirt cheapest plan every other month?
I did something like this last year when Mint offered a really cheap teaser plan. I had some of the original free paygo money left from when I switched to Tello after Ring Plus went down.
I can jump around providers by using a Google Voice number that can be directed with a click to various devices.

Also their data is not a hard stop but throttled down.
It is fast enough even throttled down to use for Google Voice calling.
I have the cheapest plan with 100 minutes/unlimited text and 500 mb data for $6 plus tax = $6.70
I mostly use text and Google Voice so I rarely even approach the 100 call limit.
I am definitely a lite user and a cheapskate to boot.

You may want not to have a calling plan at all and just fill your PAY AS YOU GO sub-account if you don’t call that much. It is only a penny a minute for domestic calls and a penny for domestic texts. That is what I plan to do is scrap the plan anf just pay pennies here and there when I use it.

I think the minimum add to Paygo is $20 and by the book, they require you to make an addition every so often but I can’t recall what that time frame is right now.
