H2O Wireless is now offering multi-month recharge discounts. Customers who choose to recharge their plans for either 3, 6, or 12 months at a time will receive either 50% off their 3rd month of service, their 6th month of service for free, or months 11 and 12 for free. A representative from H2O Wireless told BestMVNO that these are not multi-month plans but rather "a limited time discount offer on multi-month recharges." Update 1/17/2020 - An H2O Wireless rep now says that the discount offerings will be made permanent and are not a limited-time promotional offering.

The single month plans do come with an auto-pay discount, and that does narrow the savings a customer will get compared to paying for multiple-months of service at a time. The table below compares the savings customers would get by enabling autopay on their accounts vs the multi-month recharge discounts.
I have listed in parenthesis the total price customers would pay over the given time frame if they just enabled autpay on their accounts and paid for service one month at a time.
| Plan | 1GB | 5GB | 10GB | 15GB | 30GB* |
| 3-Months | $50 ($54) | $75 ($81) | $100 ($108) | $125 ($135) | $150 ($162) |
| 6-Months | $100 ($108) | $150 ($162) | $200 ($216) | $250 ($270) | $300 ($324) |
| 12-Months | $200 ($216) | $300 ($324) | $400 ($432) | $500 ($540) | $600 ($648) |
Whether you want to call these multi-month plans or just multi-month recharge discounts, the industry trend continues. More and more providers are offering multi-month discount plans in an attempt to retain customers for longer periods of time.
