I thought about the value proposition.

My bill is $90 a month including a $10 autopay discount. I charge it to a card that gives 5x UR on wireless, so I'm getting 5x UR x 90 = 450 UR per month. If we use Frequent Miler's RRV of 1.5 cents each, that's $6.75 per month current value using autopay with that credit card.

Hopefully a hybrid payment approach will work whenever this rolls out.
