'Sprint Premier' Latest in Series of Actions to "Revolutionize the Customer Experience - One Customer at a Time"
OVERLAND PARK, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Loyalty pays. So Sprint (NYSE:S) is rewarding its most loyal and
high-value consumer customers with perks, privileges and discounts that
drive higher satisfaction, through the launch of Sprint Premier.
After being automatically enrolled in Sprint Premier, customers receive
benefits such as:
-
Early Upgrades: After only one year customers can receive our
new customer price on a new handset. That's almost a year sooner than
other customers. For accounts sharing minutes, the early upgrade
applies to the primary line. A new two-year agreement is required.
-
“Just Because” Perks: Spontaneous special offers for trips,
tickets to shows and sporting events -- just to say thanks.
-
Anniversary Rewards: Customers celebrate their annual Sprint
anniversary with a special gift such as free ring tones or free
minutes.
-
First to Know/First to Buy: Longstanding customers get an
exclusive first peek at new products and services such as the upcoming
Palm Pre™, and then are among the first with opportunities to purchase
when they become available.
-
Accessory Discounts: A once-a-year discount on accessories at
participating Sprint stores.
-
Courtesy Plan Check: For customers who haven’t changed their
plan in six months, Sprint will notify them for a “Plan Check” to make
sure they are getting the most value out of their device.
Eligibility requirements for Sprint Premier are simple: 1) For three
consecutive months, consumer customers must be on an individual wireless
plan of at least $69.99 per month or spend at least $99.99 per month on
a plan that shares minutes, or 2) they must have been a Sprint wireless
customer for at least 10 years. For complete rules about Sprint Premier,

Premier is our way of saying, ‘thanks, we appreciate your loyalty and
here’s something special for staying with us’.”
Sprint Premier is the latest addition to a growing list of other
customer-friendly initiatives Sprint has already launched for its
customers, including:
