| Uverse $325 cash back deal
I recently became frustrated with my TimeWarner Cable and Internet Service so I began to look for alternatives. ATT's U-Verse had only recently arrived in my area so I checked out their deal and ended up with a $325 cash reward at the end of it all. YMMV The monthly price for service was $99 for U-200 and 6Mbps internet, about $30 below what i was paying TWC for the same service (without having to sign any 2 year contract)
1. Selected U200 (200 channels) cable selection
2. Selected Elite Tier U-Verse Internet 6 Mbps (should show $200 cash back)
3. got an error and free $25 for being unable to complete my order online (code: EXTRAGIFT)
4. Called customer service, said i was switching over from Cable to get an extra $100
The way it all worked out is $75 comes as a bill credit, and you can redeem the $250 through ATT's Rewards Center a week after installation. I'm pretty happy so far and this is a great option to consider for anyone that is switching over from cable or bought a new house. I can't say anything about the quality of the service yet until after installation. |

I got (well, am getting) $225; two neighbors who signed up at the same time got $0. Why? We were all signed up by a door-to-door saleswoman. She was trying to sign me up late the day she was here; She called AT&T to register me; they dropped her call because it crossed over into the time when the call center closed. (Should have been a omen.) She offered no cash back deals at all. She said she'd come back the next day to complete the sign-up. Luckily, she was late, and I used the time to check the ATT site for offers. $225. When she arrived & I gave her this info, she said they (door-to-door) usually don't offer the cash-back deals, but she would "put in the request." I got the redemption card today. Moral of the story, if there is one...do your homework first! |

I hate to make it worse (I'm only offering this so that other people might take advantage of it) but....mine has now gone up to $350.
I got the reward redemption notice in the mail last week, but when I went to the website to check it out, it said I had no qualifying rewards. I had to get on the phone to follow up; the rep I finally reached said that the $25 gift card I was to have received was no longer available, so she gave me one for $50. At the time, she also asked "did you switch from cable?" Yes. I gave it no thought at the time, but apparently (as noted by chicknfood above) this can qualify you for *another* incentive; when I checked the redemption status today, I found yet another option for an additional $100 gift card. So assuming it all goes through, that's two $100 checks from AT&T, and two VISA cards for $100 and $50.
Wow. It's annoying to have to chase all this down (it *should* have all happened automatically, per their ads) but...hey, it's money. And it makes me wonder...how can they be making these big offers?! Do they figure most people won't follow through in chasing down the "rebates?"

I received my awards notification via snail mail, followed the instructions on the card and in a couple of weeks received 3 checks totalling $350.00 
I've had service for 3 months now and today in the first issue, no dial tone on the Uverse phone.....
Glad I have unlimited minutes from t-Mobile!!!
