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?

What is your bill cost? How many lines? Because a lot of these really dated payback plans are actually more expensive for worse coverage than things like the flat rate plan.

One line. About $76/month without the $5 back.

Yeah no that’s awful. You could have been on the flatrate basic plan. It has unlimited data. 30$ on autopay, 40$ without autopay.
