I believe it's anything over 20.00 has to be reported. After that it's up to the ARSM to determine if you get to keep it.

I'm not an AT&T employee, but I am an American and have an opinion.

And my opinion is if a customer wants to be nice, then LET them be nice!!!

And what AT&T doesn't know, won't hurt them!!!

Only because now this customer is gonna expect special treatment on his bill or a free high end phone. Do you see where this simple thing as getting an expensive gift from a customer can cause so much.
