Our Verdict
No luck for me, but it’s well worth a look on your Amex cards to see if you were targeted. These are mostly being found on Amex business cards, yet others have found it on personal cards as well. If you got the offer, consider switching to AT&T internet, especially if you have it on multiple cards.
Will it work for personal internet? For your cellular bill?
In the past, ‘business’ offers worked for regular personal bills, e.g. business cellular offer worked for personal cellular bill, and I’d hazard a guess that this offer will work for personal internet (but of course it might be that internet works differently than cellular).
As for working on a cellular bill – the terms clearly exclude it. Now, in the past, cable offers were interchangeable with cellular offers, so I wouldn’t be surprised if this internet offer works with cellular as well, but the safe thing would be to assume it does not. We’ll have to wait for a data point. Update: a few people tried and did not get the Congrats email. It is working for business internet but not for anything else.
Hat tip to DDG
Anyone was able to over pay in store or over phone for their business internet and got credit?
I only paid 2 X $200 online and got credit and can not make anymore payments due to $300 overpay limit.
Yes you can overpay in-store but I did not get instant credit. I just requested them to investigate over chat.
I plan to make more payments to my bill, and argue the point with amex if need be as this is listed as acceptable in the terms.
Did anyone end up getting the credit for cellular spend?
I switched my home internet to business ($40/month) and after the service change, Paid 2 payments of $200 and $201 and got immediate amex emails and after 3 days got credit.
Today I tired to make another payment and the message said I can not overpay more than $300
I have this offer on 3 cards. So need to spend $1800
1. Can I overpay in a store or over the phone?
2. Can I buy a cell phone without service? That way I can resell it and make some money.
Let me know what you find out, thanks!
got off the phone with them now, i had charged one in may 1 and second in may 23 no credit.
they tell me its a known issue and they promise to call back in within 48 hours, so ill wait
did you pay the business internet bill? what did the charge say your credit card bill?
I just paid our small business internet bill (actually internet plus phone bundle) and received the e-mail confirmation immediately. I tried to pay our personal bill last week, and did not receive any e-mail or offer credit. The pending charge on the business bill is “AT&T HSIA BUS E-EVR”. So it does appear that this offer is specific to business accounts only.
Thanks for the DPs, I’ll add a note.
Just to follow up that both the $200 charge and $200 credit successfully posted.
Can you overpay your business bill?
Online it doesn’t let me overpay once my account balance has more than a $300 credit… Someone has suggested going into a store may allow for more overpaying. I will be trying this next month
any update on this ? I tried paying over the phone for excess over 300 and it shows AT&T Consumer Phone charge. and no confirmtion email. Need to wait till charge confirms to see if I get 200 $ credit or not. Did going to Store and over pay helped ?
I just paid in store since I hit the $300 limit too. Did not get an e-mail this time. The pending charge just shows up at “AT T”.
Will have to wait and see if the credit posts.
Any updates to your phone payment?
I made one in-store payment for $200 to my internet business account (processed through an agents tablet) and the charge came through as “AT&T MOBILITY II – ASHEVILLE, NC” — no credit has come through after a few weeks so I just chatted and they are looking into it for me.
I paid $201 for my dad’s business internet. Call AT&T to check if its business internet and phone, which they confirmed. Didn’t get automatic email after payment so I called AMEX. They checked and said charge counts and points would post next billing cycle.
Will update if and when points post
thank you for the info – you saved me a call “thumbs up””
…any chance you could confirm that it worked by Friday? Wondering if its worth switching.
Looked up AT&T Business internet at my address and for the same 1Gbps I pay $80 for on the residential side, it is $500 on the business side. Not exactly worth switching for me.
…are you saying they’re offering someone an Internet Business plan for $500 a MONTH? That’s insanity. Mine was $50 a month here for ‘average’ speed (i can’t recall) one. Ill probably switch, 3 offers.
Yep sure am. Just looked again and it seems to have gone down to $300 for 1Gbps. 100 Mbps for $80.
Over a week later and no points for a $205 payment through mobile app for personal internet. Has anyone even had it work on business internet? I’ve seen no positives.
I just received 20,000 MR points. I do have ATT small business internet. I had to open an investigation with Amex but still got the points. The points post looks like this “05/13/2018 Earned AT&T Internet MR Offer 20,000”
Ray, thanks for the confirmation! Since you have the account already, do you know how much it allows to overpay?
$200 credit received, said nobody.
Yep, I didn’t get the credit yet. The line item on my statement reads like this: “MAY1 AT&T*BILL PAYMENT 869 – DALLAS, TX”.
Is your internet business or personal?
So far there seems to be not a single DP of this offer working, right?
Nope. No one received the credit yet. It’s all smoke and mirrors so far.
Can some one verify that we can over pay with at&t business internet? I know that there is a limit of $300 for overpayment with at&t personal internet. And there is no limit for overpayment with at&t wireless. I don’t have at&t business internet but am thinking of switching. tia.
Good question – I hadn’t been aware that internet is not able to be overpaid, I’d assumed it’s the same as wireless.
I needed to clarify that I can not overpay personal internet ONLINE by more than $300. I did manage to overpay personal internet in at&t store.
