how does the $80 auto-pay bonus credit work?

[modernwars]

For current chatr $80 bonus credit promo, I was thinking with the $10 bonus creedit per month, for the $25 unlimited talk plan, I only need to pay $15 per month for the first 8 months. But when I went to a Chatr booth today, a sales told me I can't apply the bonus credit to my account in the first 8 months, so basiclly I have to pay $25x8 for the first 8 months and then get 3 months free service after that.

is it true or the guy was misleading?

i had called chatr about this same thing a couple weeks back for my aunt. they told me the $10 for 8 months doesnt make your plan cheaper what it does is add an extra $10 to the account so u can use it for long distance to the US or extra text messages so you are still paying $25 but are getting $10 more for add on's

I think whatever they're saying is correct... Everymonth they will try to charge you $25 for $25/month plan then give you $10 bonus to your account balance.

If you don't use this money for other extra text message, roaming, long distance then after 8 months you will have $80 in your account balance. You can now stop the autopay and use the $80 bonus money to pay for next 3 months if you wish.

The bonus credits cannot be used to pay for any of the first 8 months of monthly fees unless autopay is first cancelled. The full $25 gets charged to your credit with auto-pay, regardless of your account balance. To use the bonus credits to pay your monthly fees, the credits must not have been used to pay for pay-per-use charges and auto-pay must be first disabled.

That's what I did, although in my case it was only the $60 credit.

When you pay with a credit card and enable auto-pay, you have to tell a Chat-R employee by calling them (*611) I have the LG Phoenix from them, the $10 bonus serves well for extra data considering it's on Rogers Wireless network.
