Sprint brings back mail-in rebates for certain phone sales starting July 24th

Just when you thought we were out of the dark ages, a leaked internal memo shows that Sprint is bringing back mail-in rebates starting July 24th. This will be in place for phones costing $150 or less which means high-end smartphones will not be included. Instead of getting cash back, the rebate will be in the form of an American Express Prepaid Reward Card loaded up with the amount of your rebate.

Sprint customers who qualify for the rebate card will receive it in the mail within 8 weeks from the date of the purchase. The card can be used to pay your Sprint bill and is good every place that accepts American Express. The card expires after 6 years and if you don't spend the entire amount within 6 months, $3 is taken off the balance every month. Most rebates amount to $50, which should be more than eaten up with the first Sprint bill after your phone purchase.
