Sprint (and most companies) charge a excise tax of about $1 per 1,000 miles awarded. So if you get only 1K in miles, it's $1, but if you are like us and get 5K in some months that's over $5 in taxes.

It's on my sprint bill also, it says Frequent Flier excise fee or something like that and its usually around $1. Kinda pricey for the few miles I get from them. </font>
