It should work regardless of how the phone is acquired. After activation you go back into your own online account and get the offer fulfilled. The referral comes from a current phone holder directly through ATT.
Hey guys. I had to bump this thread up again as it fell to the second page (lol).
I still have 2 referrals left! The green button under my name indicates that I am online! I'll update when I run out. Send me a PM with your email address and first & last name.
I am pretty sure the email address will have to match. All that is required is a first name and email. I think it must be the latter that ties the referral into the actual account. I am not positive, but think that is how it all works. Hope that helps.
I have a couple left if any customers signing up or switching to ATT need a $25 gift card. PM me from my username. I only need your first name and email. You will get an email from ATT with the offer.
