The Phone credit is definitely good but I'm shocked there hasn't been more discussion here on the success of the 3X spending for retail stores, specifically with GCM . The opportunity here seems to be huge and Im not aware of any other card that has this benefit

With it being such a new card, it's just down to the fact people (including me) have not had a statement closed yet to give feedback on what qualifies.

I got the same error.
I made a $10 payment to my existing att account using the att access card. Then the "replace phone" option worked within 30 mins, after the payment had posted.

Cricket?

So our contract with AT&T is almost up and my wife will have the right to unlock her phone. She was planning to do so, then jump to Cricket.

I'm assuming this will work (and achieve the objective best?)

1. Contract over, go to month-to-month, unlock existing phone.
2. Order new phone per offer.
3. Activate it when comes on now month-to-month plan (sell or give away old phone)
4. After 1 month with new phone, port and move to Cricket and cancel long-standing AT&T plan.

* when I say month-to-month, I'm basically meaning the old subsidized phone wife bought has fulfilled any early termination fee, and assume paying and upgrading for new phone on own under existing plan changes ability to close with no hefty fees.

Thanks!

The only thing I notice is that you are only required to maintain service for 15 days to get the statement credit from Citi. Unlocking the phone in order to use it on Cricket may require some patience. Otherwise, just get a code for a few bucks on eBay.

Must be the reason my offer finally worked after changing autopay to use the CITI ATT CC.

Tried to purchase a VGC from giftcards.com. First one I paid for with CSP. I tried buying one with my AT&T card today (statement close on the 5th), and my order was declined hours later.

It's the second unusual thing I've had happen with this card... For whatever reason, my bill pay at my bank won't recognize the card number and insists on me entering payment address (which implies it won't be electronic).

My wife was planning to unlock her current contract phone (once going to month-to-month with AT&T), then go to Cricket and port the number.

I assumed with this deal she could still unlock the existing phone (just to have it available), then when the new one comes with this offer after 15 days unlock and port to Cricket.

When you say it may take patience to unlock and use with Cricket, do you think the problem is on AT&Ts end or Cricket's, and wouldn't the same patience be required if just moving an existing phone?

I'm just trying to make sure I'm not overcomplicating things, but figured doing all this on an existing AT&T account would be easier than just doing a 15 day temporary account, if the end goal is to unlock and use this phone with Cricket.

My statement cut yesterday. Mileage Plus X (MPX) Amazon.com gift cards counted for 3X TYP. I would update the wiki if I could but I don't have enough posts.

In this case I bought a full price Iphone 6 plus and got it unlocked less than a week after I activated it. Made the spend almost immediately and been 2 weeks and no credit yet. They have said 1 to 2 bill cycle and then 6 to 8 weeks. Wondering how long I have to wait for the credit. Don't want ot pay and then have to ask for a check.

Usually 1-2 billing cycles works out to be 6-8 weeks. In my case my 1st billing cycle closed 5 days after activation in my wife's case her's closed 25 days after activation. So as they say YMMV and all you can do is wait.
I'm sure they want you to use the refund on more spend that's why the delay.

I ordered the iPhone 6 on my this card, and then within the first month ATT cancelled my account due to fraud (dont know why). As such, I can't be eligible for the refund because I never paid a bill. Any recourse with citi to get reimbursed for the phone?

Didn't see it in the wiki but my one purchase on eBay and on GCM did receive the 3x bonus.
