Ordered 13 AT&T, with red card, no security problems. Also had to enter red card number each time (copy and pasted) I had previously purchased $100 cards, so my expiration, is still March 2024.
I was able to order 6 cricket gift cards without any issues with the red card. I placed 3 orders and waited for them to send them placed another 3 orders.
Ah, I think I now understand the problem: if we load $X prepaid card to your account, they will expire in 90 days. To make them not expire, on the 90th day, we have to load $Y prepaid and then X & Y will expire in 180 days from now. And on the 180th day, we have to load $Z to make the X& Y not expire. Is that correct?
Yes. that is correct.
Here's the official expiration dates from AT&T's website: Payment amounts expire as follows: $10 to $24 expires in 30 days, $25 to $99 expires in 90 days, and $100 or more expires in 1 year.
If you want the entire balance to expire for longer than 90 days, the only option is the $100 prepaid cards (or higher), which expires in 1 year. Just keep adding money before the final day of the expiration date to keep extending the balance's expiration date. Or else you will lose the entire balance if you forget to add money with balance still in it post-expiration.
Edit: Just for clarification from your example given, let's say you added $50 on the 90th day, then the entire balance will be extended for another 90 days, and after those 90 days are up, you gotta keep repeating the cycle. That's why the $100 prepaid cards are nice because it pushes the entire balance back 365 days.
I have T-mobile family plan, using debit card as autopay to save $5 on each line.
Can I load these prepaid cards as credit to my account ? Do I still get $5 discount as autopay if I load these prepaid cards as credit?
Uh, wait. I thought these cards have no expiration date as long as you don't load them into your cell phone carrier's account? Like ATT prepaid has a 90 days for $50 and 1 yr for $100 prepaid balance loaded into the account. But I always thought that these cards don't expire as long as you don't redeem them.
Can anyone confirm if these cards have an expiration date for Tmobile and ATT if you just don't redeem them? I got family members that use both carrier's prepaid services.

this was my understanding as well, if you don't load the cards into your account (so you just keep the email) you don't start the 90 day timer for the $50 card.
it does say 'no expiration date' on the website, but I don't know what that refers to. also says you can schedule delivery 'any time in the next three months' so that would move out the expiration date.

you can always call up customer service and have them extend the expiration of the balance to the end of the year without buying a $100 card, i wait for this deal and buy a year or twos worth and just enter them in 4-5 best deal in wireless
With interest rates around 5%, having your money tied up for 2 years basically negates the 10% off doesn't it? At least for the last dollar...overall you're probably cutting your discount in half.
I tried using a different credit card and it got denied again the next day... 3 orders is all I could do yesterday. I contacted support and this is what they said:
The Order was canceled due to quantity limits and maximum quantity has been reached.

thats correct i bought 2 years worth back in 2020 and just printed out the pin numbers and when they came due just entered them in when needed. they dont expire, the timer starts when you enter them in your account
Where do you see the expire for $50 att prepaid card. Also the 90 days start after click on the link to generate pin. Thought I saw a comment where someone bought two years ago and generated the pins but didn't add it the account till needed?
