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. /JBL
