Earning Miles for Cellphone/Cable/Internet Plans? [USA]
 
Searched but couldn't find anything recent or any major discussion of the topic.

Besides the 25,000 AA miles for a Sprint line, are there any other ways to earn decent miles for cable/internet/phone subscriptions in the USA?

People churn cards all the time, but there hasn't been much in the way of churning telecom providers, presumably due to the hassle of switching and the dearth of offers?

There are credit card that award bonus points for payments made in those categories, such as Chase INK Cash.

Some of the best cell deals include BOGOs. I made a small bit of money off a T-Mobile BOGO on Samsung Galaxy phones a few months ago

It's better than that. Even though Chase markets INK Cash as a cashback card, it actually earns Ultimate Rewards points. These could be redeemed for cash, but you likely would not choose that option if you have other cards which earn UR points.

I agree with pgary. I've switched from the Ink Cash to the Ink Preferred to pay my cell phone bill.

Yes, I'm getting 2 less UR points per dollar, but the cell phone insurance on the Ink Preferred is a valuable benefit for me. I used to pay Verizon $13 per month x 2 phones for cell phone insurance. Now that I've switched to using the Ink Preferred, I've dropped that $26 per month expense. Over the course of a year, this more than covers the annual fee on the Ink Preferred.

Other than Sprint, I haven't seen a cellphone, internet and TV company offer miles in years. I know that years ago I used to get miles for using AT&T cell, landline and internet but I haven't seen a deal like that in years.
