Cricket has announced that they will be shutting down their rewards program on February 26, 2018 at 5:00 p.m. Timeline is as follows:
- November 28, 2017 at 5:00 p.m. EST: No new applications will be accepted
- January 2, 2018 at 5:00 p.m: Existing members will stop earning points
- February 26, 2018 at 5:00 p.m. EST: Program will be discontinued and no more point redeeming options will be available
They will not be offering a new rewards program after this one ends, claiming that they want to focus on what makes cricket best. If you have under 100 points they are also adding a sweepstakes option so you can use the last remaining points you have. We’ve seen a lot of movement in this space recently with the other following changes:
- AT&T Will End Plenti Partnership On October 31st, 2017
- New Verizon Up Rewards Program Review [Formerly Smart Rewards]
- Sprint Offers Free Hulu for Unlimited Customers
If you’re looking for a cheap alternative to Cricket, one option would be Sprint’s unlimited free plan for one year.
