It said "for five days". So I'd assume those minutes/data will only last for that period of time. So I'd imagine this is like when I go to Amazon every X+n months and it tries to reel me back in with a free month of prime. They're giving you freebies to use, to establish habits which they can then profit from later down the line.

The article was pretty clear about this:

> Before I continue, I will answer the obvious question: Did I actually receive 999999 minutes? Yes, indeed I did. But unfortunately, I was only given 7200 minutes to spend my 999999 minutes and I could only spend them 1 minute at a time.

		I would’ve enjoyed starting a conference call and adding multiple people in, breaking away from the 1 minute at a time limit.

		And no explanation what happens after that with the minutes they had before.

I rely on those free months of prime. I don't order from Amazon often but when I do next day shipping is great. Just gotta set a reminder to cancel.

		Cancel right away? Or are Amazon subs different?
