So you can theoretically bank these points all year and enjoy a month or two without a bill before they expire?
How you use your points depends a bit on how you use your service.
Keep in mind that you only get points for actual amounts paid, not for system credits.
If you intend to stay here mid to long term it's better to let points accumulate for the first year instead of redeeming them for bill credits every time you hit 15 points.
If you use any add-ons it's more cost effective to "buy" them with points.
If you use a referral code you'll get a $10 credit.
So assuming that you sign up for the $40 plan and don't redeem points for the bill credits for a year (approximate math):
- Activation (day 1-30 of service): $40 -> 2 + 4 points
- 1st renewal (day 31-60): $40 - $10 referral reward -> 1.5 + 3 points
- 2nd to 11th (day 61-360): $40 -> 2 +4 points each time
- on day 366 (?) you should get your loyalty points: 10 pts
= 79 points?

- 2nd (day 61-90): $40 -> 2 +4 points
- 3rd (day 91-120): $40 - $15 points credit = $25 -> 1.25 + 2.5 points
- 4th (day 121-150): $40 -> 2 + 4 points
- 5th (day 151 -180): $40 -> 2 + 4 points
- 6th (day 181 - 210): $40 -> 2 +4 points
- 7th (day 211 - 240): $40 - $15 bill credit = $25 -> 1.25 + 2.5 points
- 8th (day 241 - 270): $40 -> 2 + 4 points
- 9th (day 291 - 300): $40 -> 2 + 4 points
- 10th (day 301 - 330): $40 - $15 bill credit = $25 -> 1.25 + 2.5 points
- 11th (day 331 - 360): $40 -> 2 + 4points
- on day 366 10 loyalty points?
= 72.25 points?
It does matter less in the second year, IMO.
Edit: Sorry, I think the math was off somewhat, so the gap is smaller. but 6.25 points can still make a difference.
