If you’re tired of overpaying for cell service, Mint Mobile’s latest deal might be worth a look. They’re offering 12 months of unlimited data for just $180—that’s $15 a month. And if you play your cards right, you can stack it with an AmEx offer for $45 off and a cashback portal for another $10–$13.50 back. Let’s break it down.
What’s the Catch?
First, this is for new customers only. If you’ve had Mint before, you’re out of luck unless you wait a while or use a different name. Second, it’s prepaid for a full year—so you’re committing $180 upfront. That’s fine if you have the cash, but not ideal if you like month-to-month flexibility.
Also, the AmEx offer might not be available for everyone. It’s targeted, so check your AmEx offers page to see if you have the Mint Mobile deal (spend $90, get $45 back). If you do, that’s a massive discount—bringing your effective cost down to $135 for the year, or $11.25 a month.
- New users only—no existing Mint customers
- Full $180 due at checkout
- AmEx offer is targeted, not guaranteed
- Cashback portal rates can vary
How to Stack the Savings
Here’s the smart way to do this. First, check your AmEx offers for the Mint Mobile credit. If you see it, add it to your card. Then, head to a cashback portal like Rakuten or TopCashback and search for Mint Mobile. You might see 5–7% back, which on $180 is about $9–$12.60. Some portals have flat offers like $10 back.
Click through the portal to Mint’s site, select the 12-month unlimited plan, and checkout with your AmEx card. The $45 credit should post within a few days. The portal cashback might take a few months to show up. In total, you could pay as little as $122.40 for a year of unlimited data. That’s insane.
- Check AmEx offers for Mint Mobile $45 off
- Use a cashback portal (Rakuten, TopCashback, etc.)
- Pay with AmEx to trigger the credit
- Wait for cashback to post (usually 60–90 days)
Bottom Line
- You can get 12 months of unlimited data for $180, or as low as $122.40 with stacking.
- AmEx offer is targeted—check your account before buying.
- Cashback portals add $10–$13.50, but rates change.
- This is a prepaid plan, so no hidden fees or contracts.
Common Questions
Can I use this if I already have Mint Mobile?
No, this is for new customers only. If you’re an existing user, you might need to wait or use a different account.
How do I get the AmEx $45 off?
Log into your AmEx account, check the Offers & Benefits tab, and look for Mint Mobile. If it’s there, add the offer to your card and use that card to pay.
Is the cashback portal reliable?
Most major portals are fine, but always screenshot your transaction and track the cashback. It can take a few months to post.
What happens after 12 months?
You’ll need to renew at the regular rate or switch plans. Mint will remind you before it expires.
