Our Verdict
Looks like you can get the safehouse package and just pay tax. This signs you up for three years of monitoring at $1.64 per day though. You can cancel the monitoring within 30 days, but then you must return the equipment. Frontpoint is on portals and you can get another $100 through that, but I don’t think it’s worth trying as it looks like it’s very difficult to cancel and you don’t want to be stuck paying $1.64 per day for three years.

Fuck your shit security. I got my gat! 🤣
Yup. You have to have their monitoring service, “Monitoring is $49.99 a month and I can lower that to $44.99 if you set up auto pay with a checking or savings account.”
No thanks.
Back in 2017, they had this same offer, but you could add it to all of your Amex cards, including AUs. Ended up getting 16x $99 in credits and something like 2.75 years of free service + equipment (I paid out of pocket for a few months at the end due to 3-year contract). Ah, the good ol’ days.
My datapoint is from 5 years ago. I didn’t make money — I used their security service for almost 3 years for free though.
Some people (again, this is 2017) did make money though. Frontpoint did not like people abusing multiples of the $99 off $99 Amex Offer and contacted some people to cancel their service. Of course, they refunded the payments, but then people would set their payment card to a debit card and just get straight up cash back… the Amex Offers were not clawed back for those people.
I was not one of the lucky ones (they didn’t call me to cancel my service), so I just used it. I had been shopping around for home security at the time anyway 🙂
It’s prime Amex cancellation time. Use then cancel the card 🙂
Usually you can change the credit card used for billing very easily, just not delete it. I like to generate a virtual card number then shut it off after I change the billing. Worked great for “cancelling” Sirius.
Please read the T&C carefully if you are planning on doing this. It’s very one-sided, perhaps even borderline illegal. Here are a couple of highlights:
1) “This Agreement is non-cancellable for an initial term of thirty-six (36) months, except for the 30-day risk-free trial
period set forth herein; after the 30-day trial period, any early termination will be subject to an early termination fee equal to 80% of all moneys due to Company for the remaining term of this Agreement as well as paying all monies then due”
2) “Strictly limiting the liability of Company to a total of $1,000.”
It’s basically a 3-year subscription deal: you get the equipment for free (perhaps even with an additional $100-$200 of cash back if you use a cashback portal) and sign-up for 3 years @ $49.99 / month.
Unless you actually care about the service, I don’t see how you could make it work, assuming that returning the equipment would/should invalidate the Amex and cashback portal offers.
anyone who already had frontpoint find a way to use this?
Do you mean as a current customer? I’m not one now, but five years ago you were able to make prepayments to your bill. I don’t know if you can still do that now, but I have to assume so.
I’m surprised they don’t take it down to the hour level. Full monitoring for only $0.07/hour! That’s less than the cost of a bubble gum!
