Apparently the $25 rebate was a one-shot available to people who
subscribed last year.  Someone also mentioned the separate program of
frequent-caller points that Sprint just started offering.  This
program has the unfortunate name "Callers' Plus."

Me too.  I'd seen Sprint Plus referred to occasionally in fine-print
sections of Sprint's literature, but I never knew what the program was
until reading about it in this group.  And this confuses me.  I read
Sprint's little promotional brochures that come with the bill each
month.  Sprint Plus sounds like an opportunity I'd've jumped at if
only I'd seen it advertised.  Exactly when was the program instituted?
Any other Sprint subscribers out there, who scan their mailings
reasonably carefully, who nevertheless did *not know* about Sprint
Plus until recently?
