Unless you switch to points (DON'T?!!)in your rewards account you will keep $$ rewards as you had them before when you change plans. If you schedule a change plan on next renewal your rewards will apply as per usual. If you change plans immediately you not only lose any value left in the old plan (there is no prorating) but your rewards will not apply until you complete a full 30 day cycle.
There is no longer an autopay data bonus it's been automatically applied to all plans now and is just included in the total plan data amount.
Be aware of both the new and old autopay glitch when changing plans which can now affect both upgrades and downgrades. The old glitch when upgrading can be avoided by manually topping up your account with the new plan amount so it avoids using autopay for renewal.
The new autopay glitch is harder to prevent since even though your plan is cheaper and you manually top up the new amount autopay may still charge the difference between your old plan and your new one. If it's a 90 day plan it can be expensive. It appears the only way to avoid the overcharge is to top up the account with the new plan amount and either temporarily replace the card on file with a $0 credit/gift card until renewal finishes or disable autopay shortly after midnight eastern upon renewal after your rewards are applied. Go to sleep and when your new plan is showing as active in your account you can enable autopay again.
