The AT&T Prepaid 8gb data plan is $300 a year ($25/mo). If you pay for it on ATT using a credit card it's $300 + taxes and fees so like ~$330.
If you buy these giftcards, you avoid the $30 fees as it's assumed they were paid already. Then, you get another $30 discount by buying siz of the $50 Target cards with this deal. Then, another 5% discount ($13.50) with the Red Card discount. The final cost is ~$256/yr, ~$21.30/mo, for AT&T with 8gb of data per month.
Before you say "ah but is cheaper with ". Yes, I'm sure it is. AT&T Prepaid is not the cheapest around. Even so, in my area, AT&T is easily best coverage. I don't face the same deprioritization I did with the other MVNO carriers like Mint. I could save a few dollars per month with another carrier but with drastically worse service.
And with these deals, you can get these plans for around $85-88/ month... Better if you can use the Kroger fuel points and the 13% deals that pop up.
With red card, this is 14.5% off, by the way, so Kroger is a slightly better deal with a 2% cash back card, especially when counting the fuel points.

Currently Metro prepaid cards are only sold through Walmart, and once our phones unlock, I want to move to Tmo prepaid so I can get these deals. Walmart CB deals are like never. Chase Freedom moght have a quarter (like last year's Q4) with Walmart, but thats rare. This Target deal comes up every couple of months.
I was on Cricket for 5 years and averaged 13.5% savings using exactly these sales on 4 lines for $100/mo with 10% sale and stack 5% Redcard.
Also, AT&T postpaid won't let me put more than $500 of credit on the account, and you can't add more if you already have a credit. Cricket let's you add as much as you want. Metro was a bit trickier to apply the prepaid cards, but seems to allow adding more with a credit balance. I'm not going to stay, so I am not loading 6 or more months of credit on my account like I did with Cricket and these sales.
