I chatted with an agent online at Cricket Wireless. I was going over various plan, to see what kind of discount I and my boyfriend could get if we joined together. I mentioned Republic Wireless being $20 per month for 2GB of data (I pay $30 per month right now for 2gb of LTE data).
Anyways he immediately said he'd credit my account $25 after asking him what he could do for us. I guess he feared I might of left to Republic Wireless.
So if you haven't already, and have cricket, perhaps chat with them and you can get $25 too :) I think I am going to try this again in a year.. I'll set a calender event 370 days from now to remind me. $25 per year credit makes the $30 per month about $28 per month, which helps.
Oh and after my boyfriend signs up we each get $25. So his plan becomes $28 per month for first year and mine $26.
