Okay, updated information with confirmed details. The deal is:
For $20 plus tax you get 3 months (each month is 30-days) of unlimited talk, unlimited text, and *5GB* of high speed 4G data each month. New activations only. Must be activated within 45 days of purchase but details also mention offer is only valid through 1/1/2019 (
https://www.mintmobile.com/promotions/ ). Being of the tin foil hat wearing variety, I suspect that Mint Mobile will interpret this to mean that the service needs to be activated by 1/1/2019 so the 45-days may be a bit of a red herring.
I have personally purchased this deal, having one family member using Mint Mobile, and I'm planning to switch another to Mint Mobile service. From experience I can therefore say that for the cost the service can't be beaten (assuming you have decent T-Mobile coverage where you'll be using the service). My out the door cost was $23.47 and it included free shipping with delivery in 4-days.
Mint Mobile also sells phones and they're including 5GB of data per month for three months (with unlimited talk and text presumably).
Both of the above deals seem like they must be purchased before 11:59 p.m. ET based on the countdown banner on the site.
Here's the deal link:

Good luck to all and happy Thanksgiving.
Here's what I originally posted which is now superseded by the above:
I was told that this deal would be posted Tue20nov2018 for Black Friday. The details, as best I can make out, are that if you sign up for the introductory 2GB data plan with unlimited talk and text for three months, you'll get "upgraded" to 5GB per month for those three months, and they'll also give you a $20 credit (presumably towards extending your service once your three months are over).
I've had Mint Mobile / MintSIM since late 2016. Their CS is far from stellar, but the value is definitely there if you want T-Mobile backed service.
Apologies if this deal doesn't come to fruition, or it's a bit different than indicated, but I wanted to share it with the community so keep a watch out for this deal.

call quality is good.
lately (last few months) it is taking forever (like 45 seconds) for outgoing calls to connect...very annoying.
CS is non-existent..have tried to complain and they do not pick up.
Got exasperated and waited on hold for 15 minutes to get them to give me my a/c # to prepare to port out...when I finally spoke to a CS rep , I was given the 'rubber hose' treatment asking why I wanted the a/c#..I told them just for record keeping..the CS rep snarked back at me that I want the # to port out.
I'm gone from these clowns in ~ 3 weeks.
They will fold up within a year.
The data throttling during peak times makes it damn near unusable. I would also end up not receiving calls many times, texting usually worked (picture messaging never did even after following the instructions on their site to the T). The TMobile prepaid $40/month for 10GB of data plan is a much better bet long term. You have been warned

Hey nnnnname, remember us?
You purchased your Mint SIM card on 12/25/2017, but still haven't activated it.
The order number is MTnnnnn.
This is just a gentle reminder to get moving! Your Mint SIM card must be activated within 45 days of purchase or it will become non-refundable and inactive. And no one wants that!

Wait a foxing minute! I already have Mint service, where's my deal?
We have something for you too. On 12/1 we are releasing the Mint Mobile Share The Love (referral) Program. The program gives you the referrer $15 renewal credit and also $15 renewal credit to the referee.
And to kick it off the program we are giving all referrers $30 renewal credit when they get their first referral!!!
If you love Mint, there is no better (and easier) time to get someone else to try Mint. They can get 3-months of service for $20. Then you get $30 renewal credit and they get $15 renewal credit.
A Share The Love teaser email is already in your email. Details will go out in an email on 11/30 explaining how to take advantage of the Share The Love program.
Happy Holidays from Rizwan and the whole Mint Mobile team
