Can you load money to the wallet and later use wallet money to pay for a plan.
From nido: "Yes, you will have option show up to pay with wallet to your plan, but you have to have enough balance to pay your plan, if you do not have enough money in your wallet, you may need to call CSR to manually applied to your plan. And after using the wallet, the fees are actually less than you pay with credit card, so even you do not have enough offer to load to the wallet, you are still recommended to load wallet first, then pay with wallet."

There is a "wallet" that is intended for occasional top ups and extra data, and you can reload an arbitrary amount such as $90 to it (plus taxes and fees which should NOT be applied until I actually make a payment to the account; with other mobile and home internet carriers, I can always load any amount to my account). But the wallet can technically be used to renew your plan, even though it isn't intended to do so.
Then, there is a completely separate "renewal balance" where you can only pay the full amount of your next bill, but then the balance just sits there until it is needed. I happen to have about $50 in credits here in my renewal balance.
But, based on comments in this thread, you can only put wallet balance toward your renewal if you have enough in there to cover your entire renewal cost, and it's unclear if you can source your renewal from both the wallet and the renewal balance (seems like probably not). So there's really no point in putting only $90 into my wallet; because I wouldn't be able to use it anyway without putting the full $240 in there, and then it probably wouldn't leverage my $50 renewal credit.
So my only option really is to charge the full $240 (minus $50 credit) to the renewal balance, and forgo using my higher cashback credit card, in order to get the $45 rebate. Still absolutely worth it, just venting about the weird overlapping payment model in Mint Mobile...
Thank you very much.

1. Do I load $180 to wallet (but will actually be charged more - due to recovery fee + other charges)? Is there a difference to additional charges when loading $180 to Wallet vs renewing the $180 plan directly with cc (meaning the 'load to wallet' step is only advantageous if you have more than one Amex offer that you can use).
2. When I go to pay for my one year 4gb plan using Wallet is the $180 Wallet balance (from step 1 above) be enough? Are recovery fee + other charges tacked on to the plan price of $180 when paying via Wallet?
