How to Use an Alltel Rebate Card

Alltel is a cell phone company that frequently offers rebate incentives to entice people to purchase a cell phone or cell phone service from them. When a person makes a qualifying purchase from Alltel, they may be offered a rebate card. However, some people are used to rebates coming in the form of a check and not having to use a card to redeem the rebate. Although this may be a bit different from the way other companies issue rebates, you will find that once you learn the basic steps using an Alltel rebate card is actually quite simple.

Instructions

1. Sign up for the rebate at www.alltelrebatecenter.com and wait for your Alltel rebate card to be sent to you in in the mail. The amount of time it takes to receive these cards vary, but it typically takes anywhere from two to 12 weeks for your card to arrive.

2. Read the fine print on the card carefully, as there are some restrictions you should know before using your card. Although these restrictions vary and change depending upon your specific rebate, they may include a monthly service charge or restrictions about attempting to exchange for your card for cash through ATM machines or at banking institutions. Make sure you call an Alltel representative if there is anything about the fine print that you do not understand.

3. Go out and use your Alltel card to make purchases. Your Alltel rebate card is a Visa debit card and will work wherever Visa is accepted. Simply hand your card to the cashier or follow the same procedure as paying with a credit card. You can use the card to make purchases up to the amount of the rebate. If you go over the amount on the card, you will need to pay the difference yourself.
