This "loyalty discount" was new to me but apparently has been around for at least a few years as some SD members say they used it to get the X.
It is surprisingly a great deal for current AT&T members if you are already on an Unlimited plan (Unlimited & More or Unlimited & More Premium), NOT a shared plan and plan to stay with AT&T for 2 years.
I used chat yesterday to get a discount of $10/line (access charge). For my 8 line plan that saves me $80/mo. No other changes to my plan.
Today I did a chat again to get a few iPhones for my kids. Which is a $450 discount on the retail price of any phone + tax. For me it was taxed on the discounted price for the 3 phones I bought for my kids. $149.99 for a 64gb XR and $300/ea for 2 iPhone 11 128gb.
You pay for the phones immediately, so my total bill was $794.97 for 2 iPhone 11's and 1 XR. The charge has already hit my Visa and the orders show as processing in my AT&T account.
The $45 activation fee per phone was waived as i have a FAN account. YMMV on this if you don't have a corporate/employer type discount attached to your account. The FAN discount does not really apply anymore to the Unlimited & More or Unlimited & More Premium plans as it goes away but if you ever had it before it should still be there.
She also upgraded me to premium 1-2 day shipping for free.
Again, by buying these phones through the Loyalty discount they are locked to AT&T for 2-years and they will not unlock them for any reason even international travel, until your contract is up.
The thread at SD is 80+ pages so lots of info there and if you are not on the Unlimited & More or Unlimited & More Premium plan already, READ UP and make your own decision as your access fee per line will go up regardless of what the CSR may tell you.
Whether this applies to Android phones as well I don't know as my kids are staying with iPhones so I didn't ask.
Good luck.
