The fine print in the promotional material stated that the maximum
credit would be $25.  I had no problem with that, or the $8 minimum,
as our interstate bill typically exceeds $60.  The $25 rebate
obviously more than made up for the $5 changeover fee (which I paid
for once :-)).

I received the credit on schedule.

There is a separate program whereby you sign up and get 10 points for
every dollar you spend; no extra cost, just an added promotion to
persuade you to use Sprint. The "prizes" are not impressive.
