AT&T is giving away $100 to customers who activate a new line of service

AT&T has announced a new promotion, offering a $100 bill credit to customers when they activate a live with a smartphone on AT&T Next. The offer has been run before, and is extended to both new and current customers. The promotion runs through September 30, 2014. For those unaware, AT&T Next is a program that lets customers upgrade their phones outside of the conventional two-year contract cycle. You put no money down on the phone, and pay no upgrade fee, and no annual contract. Instead, you sign up for an ongoing payment plan to pay off your device over time. AT&T offers both 20-month and 24-month plans.

AT&T announced a new offer on Friday that should help some customers save some money. The carrier said that anyone, including existing and new customers, who activate a new line of service and pick up a new smartphone with AT&T Next will receive a $100 credit toward their bill. AT&T Next is the company’s monthly installment and upgrade program that allows customers to purchase a smartphone for a low up-front cost and then pay off the full price of the device through installment plans. There are two options available, AT&T Next 12, which allows you to split the cost of your device across 20 months of payments or AT&T Next 18, which splits the cost up across 24 monthly installments. After 12 payments on AT&T Next 12, you’re then eligible to trade-in your smartphone to upgrade to a new one. Likewise, you can upgrade after 18 installments on AT&T Next 18 with a trade-in. With the new deal, you could pick up a device like the Samsung Galaxy S5 for 20 payments of $32.50 on AT&T Next 12 or 24 payments of $27.09 on AT&T Next 18, and then after your account has remained in good standing for 3 months you’ll receive a bill credit for $100. The deal is good through Sept. 30.
