I bought a second 1 GB 7 day plan even though the first one is not yet expired & got the email above.
I don't recall getting the email the first time - hmmm.
When I rechecked my account info, it says the second data plan I bought will start when my current one ends. We shall see...
I'll try to buy a few more & lyk what happens

what exactly does this mean? so you pay $.99 for 1 GB every 7 days? So monthly, you automatically get charged $4?
It would be cool if you could add them back-to-back right now, and basically pay $4 for each month - try adding that plan 52 times and get a year of service for a shade under $52!
Actually i think you can, i added another gig and i finished my 1st gig and it just rolled to the next one i bought. It worked for Gusto616 also.
I don't usually get close to my current data cap. Edit: On my phone, that is. I don't have an iPad that can use a cellular network.

It's true. I bought two .99 cent sessions.
After I bought the first one I got the confirmation email below (I removed my personal info from it). So, then I checked my AT&T data plan account and I have 2 months pending and my bank account was already charged for both. I figure I can get the 2nd one by claiming ignorance but more than that might not be honored by AT&T bc it clearly states only one per customer...however I'm tempted to just go ahead and buy 8...it was up to them to configure a rejection after one purchase, right?
How do you take a screenshot on an iPad, btw?

I bought 4 and they all say pending so I think it will work once my month paid expires. I think I'm goon go and buy a bunch. Worse they can do is cancel my account, then I open another one lol.
HERE IS AN IMAGE OF WHAT ATT SAY AFTER I PURCHASED 4 OF THEM:

is there a way to "bank" the additional gigs of data you buy to use later? or will it start the next gig immediately after 7 days?
it for a limited time. And one time only. When u purchase it, your email states this.
Only for occasional cellular data users?
I sign up for a 30 day session a few times a year when I travel. Each time I barely break 1 gb of use. When i opened my account to cancel the auto renewal, I saw the 99 cent offer, I signed up right away. Today, I checked my account again and the offer is still there, so I signed up for a renewal and they accepted it. Apparently, not everyone gets the offer. Maybe only light users who don't tax the network's resources? Don't know how long the gravy will drip but will keep on signing up as long as it's available.

So far I'm up to 32 purchases that start after the 1GB that I'm currently using which expires in 2 days.

LOL How funny! Keep up posted on how this works out. I have only one stacked up so far and will probably add more.
haha I like this guy, i did 4 and though I was pushing it. I'm gonna do same as him as soon as my first 7 days expires and the second one starts. Or should I say if the second one starts at all lol. If the seconds one starts I'm gonna buy few years worth
PS I really think that they have a glitch in their system that lets you buy more then 1. Now its just a matter of time before they fix the glitch I think so lets keep this quit lol
I'd agree that its a glitch, the question is will they let us keep the data or refund us???
Yea I'm not sure what they'll do when they figure it out. If they let us keep the data great, if they refund the money also fine as we didn't lose anything so here comes 50 more purchases lol.
They wont find out for a long time if we keep it quiet. I searched google and this is the only thing that comes up having to do with it which is great.
But seeing how its a glitch even when they figure it out they wont really know who bought what (no record as its a glitch), from what I know about software dev. they will just fix the glitch and no one will be able to buy more then 1 after the fix
