I didn't see this posted before, so I figured I'd start it. We can make it a conga if there's sufficient response, but everyone's limited to 5 referrals per year anyway.

If you sign up for NEW Cingular service on a plan of $39.99 per month or higher, then both you and whoever refers you get a $25 VISA debit card, good anywhere VISA is accepted. The service has to be new - contract renewals are not eligible as far as I can tell. Also as far as I can tell, you can sign up through any Cingular reseller - Cingular's own store, Amazon.com, or any local store. The only requirement is that the plan is $39.99/mo or higher (family plans are allowed). This allows you to take advantage of whichever deal is best for you and STILL get the referral credit.

If you ALREADY signed up for Cingular within the past month, you can STILL be referred and both you and the referrer can get the $25 credit. If you signed up more than a month ago, you can't be referred but you can still join the referral program and refer other people. (You are limited to earning $125 per year for yourself, but I believe you can refer as many people as you want and THEY will get the $25 regardless of whether you've reached your limit... but I can't be positive about that, since I've never reached my limit!)

I am neither endorsing nor recommending Cingular since everyone's needs and preferences are different (however, they are my preferred carrier). However, if you are on the fence about which provider to join, this may be an incentive for Cingular since you can earn the $25 initially and then another $125 per year by referring 5 other people. If you are planning on getting Cingular service anyway or have gotten new Cingular service within the past month, then this is a no-brainer!

The website with information is at: https://referral.cingular.com. Before signing up, make sure you read the overview and FAQs to make sure that you know how it all works, and to make sure that all the info I've presented is correct.

If you want to be referred, PM me with your full name and email address. I will send you a referral invite and you just need to follow the instructions in that invite (registering on the website and signing up for service, in whichever order is most convenient for you).

I will update this thread as needed and/or once my referrals are exhausted for the year.

Let the referring begin! :-D Mods, let me know if you want this to be a conga, or whether everyone can exhaust their 5 referrals.
