Straight Talk now providing loyalty discounts

Click for larger
On its blog last week, Straight Talk hinted that it would provide discounts to its loyal customers. They teased the promotion by posting a link to log into your ST account — which means that non-ST users were left in the dark. Of course, a trip to Howard Forums yielded an answer, which you see above. Paying up front for multiple months of service now gets to a small discount compared to the normal month-to-month arrangement. The three-month commitment is $42 per month, the six-month commitment is $41.67 per month, and the 12-month commitment is $41.58 per month (so, in all reality, you’re best off with a six-month commitment). Apparently you need to already be a Straight Talk subscriber, so head to Straight Talk’s website if you want to take advantage. ]]>
Lame. Boost mobile’s shrinkage is a way better idea.
Nice. I truly wish they would beef up their device selections. They only ever had one 3g device and you can’t even find that any more.
Like ike says; it’s not as good as Boost’s loyalty reward, but it’s definitely indicative of straight talk’s, and tracfone’s competitive nature. And quite frankly the price of unlimited for less than $42 a month is extremely good.
Is the service area the same for StraightTalk and TracFone? I can’t get service on my TracFone around our local lake. I thought about switching to StraightTalk. If they are the same it won’t matter.
