Yep, no problem bud. I've been keeping an eye on it since it was such a great deal. Spent the remainder of my $75 today!!

So what all did you spend your $75 on?

Wife wants a new 35mm non-digital camera so I think this card will work perfectly for that.

If we find a $100 35mm camera it will only cost me $25 out of pocket

Just signed up sounds groovy!

They denied my $75 GC for some reason and when I asked to speak to a manager (on Friday) they said I would get a call back in 24-48 hours. No call so far and it's Tuesday night. I guess I have to call these guys and try to bitch at them one more time. Bunch of bullshlt! I have no idea why I am being singled out when everyone else seems to be getting theirs. I signed up on the 16th of August. I made two calls to find out when my GC was coming because it was supposed to be 7-10 days from when I signed up. They said it was coming, in another 7-10 days. My third call was last Friday they said nope, you don't get it.

got my $75 giftcard last week. Thanks for the deal!
Now about to do the $25 amazon gc...

 

[p0ntif]

esquared, that sucks! I made sure when i signed up that I would get the card . . .but we'll see . . .

 

[esquared]

These morons were supposed to call me back on Monday. I just called for a third time since Friday, wasted 20 more minutes. Explained my story, again. Same results. No card. She even told me her supervisor will not authorize the change in my favor. To go over her head I will have to write to the ATT customer complaint office. I asked her, will they do the same job her department was doing, which was to ignore my calls and ignore their promises to return calls. All she did was apologize and say have a good day. I am not going to waste anymore of my time with these assholes except to complain to the Texas state attorney general's office and the BBB. Good luck to those that received the card.:disgust:

 

[p0ntif]

that blows esquared. I hope I get my card! :Q

 

[SIGKILL]

How long did it take to get the gift card? It's been 22days already for me. I called, but was told that their fulfillment centers were behind.

 

[p0ntif]

got my gift card today! great deal thanks! now I have $100 to spend at amazon!

9/20 - Switched to AT&T
10/19 - Received my $75 MC debit card

I received an e-mail from AT&T with my $25 Amazon GC but the image wasn't displayable, what should I do?

 

[Shagger]

So the average wait time for the $75 MC and $25GC is one month?

I'm not sure if that's the average but mine took almost exactly one month.

I just wonder what I should do about my $25 Amazon GC e-mail which has a graphic attached that I cannot read?

I just called these guys under their 1-800-222-0300 number. The first automated human was like "we called your regarding a gift certificate?" and then I ended up talking to an actual manager - or so they made me believe. Anyway, she said that I should have received the giftcard by now, and that she will re-issue a new one, which will take around 30 days to arrive.

And then I could tell you the tale of how they switched my International Calls as well, but never mentioned this in our conversation - only the fine print shows that long distance is not only within the US. Since I have family in Europe and Australia, my bill for the first month was just USD$ 630! Like a minute to Europe is 2$ or so. And then they call you on a Saturday morning, and tell you this. And no word about what you can do, beside the phone number of the "Slamming dept" - which is closed over the weekend. So I call on Monday, and they casually say that I can adjust my calling plan and they will apply the new rates to my previous calls, which shaved nearly 600 bucks of my bill. Did you hear that sigh of relieve? Well, their new calling rates are kind of OK. There are others which are cheaper.

So I have now cable TV,. Cable Internet, wireless and long distance with AT&T and guess how many bills I get a month? Four. When will these guys ever learn to put all of it on one web page and that is it. One stop payment? When they have computers?

Anyway, this is my story and I am sticking to it. Be afraid!

Aren't the terrorists supposed to use graphics with embedded signals? RossMAN, you might be on to something big here

 

[RossMAN]

Nostrada - NEVER use AT&T for your long distance, especially international long distance!

My wife and I use BigZoo.com (same as OneSuite.com) to call Australia, call quality is good, recharge your PIN online, cheap rates, and a whole crap load of features!

 

[Nostrada]

Yeah, you can imagine my outrage when I got their call. I will stick now with them until I get my GC and then go back to my old provider Erbia, which got bought by some other companies - but I do not have the details handy just now. I was happy with them

Erbia long distance looks interesting but OneSuite.com is STILL the winner.

30 minute phone call from USA (lower 48 states) to Australia (non-mobile) calling from your home, work or cell (basically anything BUT a cell phone) here's what it would cost you:

$1.50 OneSuite.com $0.05 x 30 minutes, no monthly fees or hidden charges

$1.98 Erbia.com I don't understand how their system works

Not only is OneSuite.com CHEAPER but I'll bet that they have better features overall then Erbia.com does

 

[Nostrada]

RossMan, you are correct. The only catch is that we have to dial a Pre-number and have to remember charging the card. Nice that you can do it over the 'net, but - since you are a married man I trust you know - sometimes the urge is there to just pick up the phone and punch the 01161... instead of having to fumble with access codes and PINs. So I guess we will stick with Erbia since they just switch us over.

But the rates you mentioned are certainly sweet. Even for Europe.

 

[Rassi]

Anyone know a good LD company I can change mine to that has reasonable rates and no monthly fee or minimum. I currently have AT&T and need to switch away from them for a bit so I can get the AT&T deal again.

Yes it's a hassle having to dial an access number AND enter your PIN, however with BigZoo and OneSuite you can eliminate one step ... using their PINSkip feature you can designate up to 5 phone numbers where you can skip entering in your PIN. For instance whenever calling OneSuite from your home number, you don't enter your PIN you do still have to dial your local access number but after that you dial 01161.... and it's just like a normal call.

Rassi - Have you been paying attention at all? Switch to OneSuite.com or BigZoo.com

 

[Nostrada]

RossMan, I will discuss this with my SO ;-)

Thanks for pointing this out.

Anyone knows how I can switch to AT&T and get a 75 bucks mastercard giftcard? just kidding...

 

[Keego]

I have bigzoo right now (thanks Rossman ) but one of my roommates is complaining that he wants friends and family so it'd be free to call his mom down in california. I think it's a waste of $20/month but whatever! might as well get $95 in "rebates"

 

[udonoogen]

thanks badluck! signed up today ... and as you said, the deal is still alive. $25 from amazon aint bad either. do i have to wait for them to clear as my LD provider before i sign up for online billing?

 

[corinthos]

Dudes, I am ON this! Verizon be charging us some serious fees in Ohio... It's crazy man... I mean like over $20 a month just in fees, not call charges... In Cali it is like half that...
