The different modalities of minimum expenditure are based on 6 Euros and they reach 100 per monthIn this case, the mobile phone is not purchased linked to a specific rate, but to a minimum consumption: You can choose the rate you prefer, the important thing is that this amount is reached at the end of the month; if it is not reached, the difference is charged. The ranges go from 0 Euros (without paying anything for the mobile) until 416 euros with 10.000 points and a minimum spend of 6 eurosAs we pointed out, Movistar is committed to giving away up to 20.000 points so that the customer can move up a step and improve the price.
For example, according to the table, if you have 46.000 points and you choose a minimum spend of 15 Euros per month, the Xperia S would stay in 340 EurosHowever, Movistar's gift allows us to reach one step higherIn this case, they would give you 14.000 points to reach 60.000 and the mobile would go to 296 Euros.
As is logical, the client signs a permanence of 18 months on that monthly minimum. Among the advantages, it includes the possibility of obtaining the mobile and pay it in three interest-free installments. Although it seemed that now Movistar would make greater efforts for its customers, these prices suggest that there is still room for improvement if they want improve loyaltyWe'll see if they move forward little by little or if they continue along this path of total austerity.
How the steps and the 20.000 point gift work
The final price depends on the points ladder where you are and from minimum consumption chosen.

For example, if you have 28.000 points, you can redeem as if you were on the step of 40.000, significantly reducing the cost of the terminal. This mechanism, combined with higher minimum consumption, allows drastic reductions of the price of the Sony Xperia S, even reaching cost 0 Euros in the highest consumption segments and with a high point balance.
