When it comes to rewards to discount your bill it is indeed possible to get to $0. It all depends on how much effort you want to put into earning the rewards. Autopay is easy and loyalty just takes time with the two ultimately totalling $7.
The community reward (up to $15 for us regular folk) and the refer a friend rewards (up to a maximum 110 per account) play in tandem with one another. Both involve helping others but to what extent depends on how much time and effort you want to put into them. Referrals require more up front investment but pay off better in the long run with less and less work involved. Community rewards can pay a little more initially but require consistency to maintain them as they have to be earned every month.
If you want to self manage your account and pm services spending time here in the community to learn about everything pm is ideal. You can ask questions, find solutions (and award them to others), bravo informative posts and get bravoed yourself, use the search bar to access the myriad of questions that have been asked and answered (most of the time) and along the way share your experiences and give your opinion.
As you gain knowledge you can start to impart it to others...that can also include your friends, family and coworkers. You will be the first to know about flash sale promotions and how easy it is to activate and port a number into pm. You will learn about all the plan offerings, add ons that don't expire, no overages or extra billing and 10 day US roaming options that cost the same as 1 or 2 days of roaming with other providers. The first week of every month pm will likely surprise you with the deposit of $1 or $2 in your community reward of your account....maybe even $5 for your efforts.
But the true reward will be not only the satisfaction of helping others in the community but the confidence you will gain by your ability to self manage your account services, troubleshoot phone and service issues and dispel any untruths about pm. When your circle learns how much you save, how efficient an online only service model can be, that full speed 4G LTE data isn't that noticeably different than when it's throttled to 3mbps and your provider gives you Christmas presents every year then you will start to see your referrals begin to increase. While you will help those referrals out from time to time you can also spend less time in the community if you wish just popping in from time to time to stay up to date on any changes, glitches or new promotions.
You can take what you put into the community. It took me two months for my first account to be $0 and just shy of a year for the second to reach $0. Now I just stay on the community because I like helping others and the camaraderie with fellow members!😁
