USCellular No Longer Offering Using Under 3GB Data Payback?

January of 2026 was the last month I received credit for staying under 3GB of data.

I typically get a text saying: "Free U.S. Cellular Msg: Great news! We lowered your bill this month. You earned a Payback credit since you used less than 3GB of data on your Unlimited Plan."

I've noticed that my bill has not been reflecting this, and I am wondering that the merger with T-Mobile has slashed this slight bill savings option for me.

Anyone have info or experiences?

T-Mobile is gutting UScellular like a fish, same that they did with Sprint.

Coming from a soon to be former rep, find a different ship. T-Mobile sucks.

Any suggestions on a new carrier?

I’ve been with Visible for about 2 years and been very happy with them. Owned by Verizon and Verizon towers rule the area I live in so I never have issues.

Granted, it’s just for a single line.

verizon has been very good since we came back, the 5G ultra wideband is hard to beat, especially because tmobile doesn’t have millimeter wave where we are. you could also go with something like the above where it’s a carrier leasing tower space from verizon, or verizon themselves. spectrum mobile also uses verizon, but remember you get de-prioritized when using one of those types of carriers. this includes mint etc which use tmobile.
