AT&T Plus trial winding down on March 31st
AT&T has been testing the viability of loyalty rewards through a limited AT&T Plus trial over the past year. Unfortunately, time's up: as you can see in the letter above, the carrier is shutting down the Plus experiment on March 31st, with discounts and fee waivers ending for existing members on May 31st. We wouldn't expect a follow-up in the near future when AT&T isn't moving past the trial level "at this time," according to a spokesperson we reached. Most of us won't be affected when the Plus test has been limited to a handful of areas, but perks are perks -- it's sad to see them go away. [Thanks, Drew]
AT&T Plus now in trial stages, lets loyal users in on special deals and more
Looks like racking up those loyal points may just pay off in the near future, as Ma Bell's rolling out a new loyalty program dubbed AT&T Plus. The free service -- which is only available in Houston, Colorado and Minneapolis at the moment -- will let customers get tidbits such as a "personalized customer experience," with access to a special 1-855-ATTPLUS customer service line. Additionally, AT&T Plus users get a 25 percent discount on accessories (sorry, no iPhone or iPad add-ons) as well as waived activation and upgrade fees. AT&T's yet to say what you'll need to get a Plus party invite, but we'd imagine that staying away from any warning is the first step...
