$30 Amazon GC & 120 free minutes - sign up for AT&T long distance

[Marina]

This is a long story so hang in there. It's worth it for an Amazon certificate!
I got the following email:
---------------------------------------
Why spend time paying tiresome bills
when you could be curling up with a new
book, video, or CD from Amazon.com?

When you sign up for online billing
from AT&T, you'll get:
Online Statements You Can View Anytime
Convenient Automatic Bill Payment
AT&T Online Customer Service
120 Free Minutes
$30 Amazon.com Gift Certificate

Redeemable at Amazon.com, the place to
find and discover anything you want to
buy online.

To sign up now, click on or copy and paste this URL:

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So then you go to this url but it says nothing about the Amazon cert. So, I emailed customer service and here's what they said:

Dear Marina,


Thank you for contacting AT&T Online Customer Service.

I apologize for any inconvenience you have experienced.

Please use the following URL for the $30.00 E*TRADE gift certificate promotion:

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, at this url it says to sign up for long distance w/online billing and get a gift cert for the Etrade bookstore. THen it specifically says that this is valid at Amazon too!
-----------------------------------
Finally, here's the important part.
They make you sign up for long distance of 5 cents/min for inter-state calls. You don't have to choose local toll but if you do, you get $1 off the monthly fee. Monthly fee is like $7.95. HOWEVER, ATT has an EXCELLENT PLAN of 5 cent evenings inter-state, 9 cent daytime inter-state with no monthly fee. I have emailed customer service to find out how long I have to wait before I can switch to this cheaper plan and STILL receive the GIFT CERT. I WILL KEEP YOU ALL UPDATED ON WHAT THEY REPLY.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What I think is going to happen is that I will pay for 1 month on this plan, then switch to the 5 cent evening plan and still get my gift cert. It says "Please allow 3 weeks to get your gift certificate" so you should be able to cancel or switch to cheaper plan after you get your cert. Again, I will keep you all updated on customer service's reply.

Do a search at this site. AT&T has a deal good through Dec 31 for $50 super gift certificate. I signed up on that and got it the next day. The deal also included 120 free minutes first month of billing.

This doesn't work for me. Something about the type of phone company I have.

[bbouma]

Monthly fee seems high..?? I rarely use long distance, so not paying a monthly fee is great w/the company I have now...Anyone aware of any long distance promos offered w/no monthly charges?

[Marina]

ATT has a no monthly fee 5 cent evenings, 9 cent days plan. Once you get your promotional gift certificate, you can switch plans!!

[chlobo]

Has anyone done this and gotten the GC?

[Marina]

I only just signed up so I have to wait. I emailed customer service and asked "how long do I have to wait until I can switch plans and still get my GC?" and they replied "we recommend you wait until you get your gc and then switch." The site says: Please allow three weeks to receive your E*TRADE Bookstore Gift Certificate. (Which can be applied to amazon.com)
