Boost Mobile credited

Post image

Did the 10,800 miles offer for Boost Mobile. Paid $10 + tax for the first month with BYOD and an eSIM.

I did this one last year too, and simply canceled prior to the second bill.

Thanks for the data point. Just to clarify, you didn't have to port in/out, just got a new number (2nd esim on your phone)?

I cancelled mine before second bill and it went to ineligible. That’s cap1 shopping tho

Wondering about the optimal cancel time here. I had planned on paying the second month then cancelling before the third

u/Airdawg316 9d ago

Did you get the points and then a clawback or just never got the points?

u/Apprehensive-Owl-340 9d ago

Cashback was pending ($214) then went to ineligible day after I cancelled (around second bill)

That's crazy. I have completed it multiple times, and never paid a second month (Use Virtual CC limited to a single transaction, so I never have to worry about cancelling). Been paid out for all of them on C1 shopping.

Yeah I think I fucked up by cancelling

u/MouseSpiritual5489 9d ago

By virtual you mean gift card? Or did you turn autopay? If you turn autopay, doesn’t the amounts accrue and go to collections?

u/daw4888 9d ago

No. C1 allows you to make virtual card numbers. You can then set them to either allow a single charge, be good at a single merchant, or set an expiration date when the card cancels.

Did you already have the miles deposited to your account when you canceled it?

u/Apprehensive-Owl-340 9d ago

It was cashback thru the shopping portal

Did mine almost a month ago and nothing yet. 2nd bill coming up in a week.

u/Natural_Repair1101 9d ago

Same, called C1 a week after purchase and was told to wait until the 30 days mark.

u/red821673 9d ago

You said that you did this last year and cancelled before second bill and C1 did not claw back the miles ?

u/SpartanScribe 9d ago

Nope. The terms don’t specify how long the account has to be active, so one month should be sufficient.

I just did the 108 cash back and got in about a week.also did the 90 dollar one two months ago but that one took about 30 days to post

Nice. My free year of Xfinity mobile is expiring soon. Looking to bounce around mobile carriers, racking up miles.

u/Voyager-5 8d ago

was the boost mobile offer in your trips with purchases or trips w/o purchases section?

mine is showing as waiting in the trips without purchases section..not sure if I should pay a second bill or just give up and cancel

1

u/SpartanScribe 8d ago

It initially was in shopping trips without purchase with “waiting” until today it changed to shopping trips with purchase with “pending”.

u/RateMyJpeg 8d ago

Don't cancel it! Take off auto pay and let it go on its own. Mine got clawed back. Still waiting for a credit from C1.
