A "what would you do"?
I'm kicking myself because I wasn't familiar with TCB, so I already jumped in last night for 5 new lines. Got ATT email saying all are shipped. Too late? Just bite the bullet?
Hi, I checked this thread, most people used BF. why is TCB bad? thanks

So, correct me if I am wrong:
1. 5 lines on AT&T Mobile Share Plus 3GB Multi Line with BYOD will cost me $140 plus taxes including autopay discount.
2. I will get 2 x $250 reward card for 2 lines ($500 total)
3. I will get $500 form TCB ($100 x 5 lines)
4. So, I stand to make $650 - $700 depending on taxes charged.........sound about right?
5. Or is there a better way to maximise $$ profit

1. Shared Data 3GB Plan with 5 lines monthly cost is $140+ about $35 (25%) for taxes and fees = $175/month. When I had 4 lines with the same plan, monthly cost was $152.

TCB estimated payout period is 15 weeks. So count on paying for at least 3 months (more like 4 months) if you want the lines to be active at the payout date.

3. You won't get $100 per line from TCB. They will track at $50 per line no matter what rate they advertised. Good luck fighting for that advertised rate.

If my estimates are right.
* Your cost: $175/month x 3 = $525
* Your rewards: ($250 x 2) + ($50 x 5) = $750
* Net Profit: $750 - $525 = $225

Thank you for the reply.
Not worth the trouble with those numbers.
Ported out 20 of the lines to H2O from Sprint before cycle ended and have some left to deal with in the next week.
I really don't see any other deals worth it atm MadMad

I think TCB could be $100 per monthly plan. (lines doesn't matter)

I don't understand how AT&T gets away with charging more for taxes than other carriers do. The fees can vary from one carrier to another depending on how they want to pad their pockets, but taxes should be the same percentage for all carriers for the same billing address.
My address have 3 accounts with Sprint and one with Verizon and every month the bills don't have the same amount at all .

I think TCB pays per line, not per plan.

With the 2-line order for my acct #2, I went through TCB on 5/22. Their normal rate in that week was $50/line for iPhones and $75/line for non-iPhone. But from 5/22 to 5/25 they were running a Memorial Weekend Double Cash promo and the advertised rate was $150/line for non-iPhones (attachment #1).

When TCB tracked my cb at only $100 ($50 x 2 lines), I submitted a claim. A rep got back to me and asked if the lines were iPhones or non-iPhones. If their cb rate was per plan, then they wouldn't have asked if the phones were iPhones or non-iPhones.

EDITED: I just looked at TCB's current ad (attachment #4). Based on the way it's presented now, it does appear that the $100 rate is per plan. They no longer have an entry for "Add-a-Line (non-iPhone implied)".

Unless you actually use the service, why pay $100 for the 3rd month to hopefully get $100 back from BF?
For someone like me who just wants to sign up to do the deal then port out, paying for 2 months is all that's needed. If you port out early enough, you'll also get a partial refund. I'm getting $32 back for my acct #2 with 2 lines, ported out 10 days before the billing period ended.
is BF cashback per line ? or per new account setup? I am looking to do 5 lines, if CB is per line, it will make sense.
Thanks

I think BF cash back is $50 per line, and estimated payable date is after 3 months. But even so, look at my post #2840 above to see how much profit you can expect to net, if you're doing this deal purely for the profit and not the phone service.

Never resolved, to put it mildly. Since Day 1 of the problem/error message, day after day, I ended up giving all my porting info to each rep, as they seem to have 'lost' the initial trouble ticket. I gave them the ticket number!


For 10 days, every day I'd have to explain from the beginning and each rep always asked for a callback number "in case we get disconnected". Every call got disconnected, yet not a single rep called me back, nor ever gave me any explanation. Then when I called they'd immediately hang up.
I ended up sending an email via their website over a week ago, but that also went unanswered (even tho I got immediate confirmation they received it).
H2O is the absolute worst 'customer service' I've ever run across, in decades. Period.
Thats scary. I tried both of my ATT number and I get the same error for both. Has anyone successfully ported out from ATT to H2O? if yes, can you post the steps you have used to port out? TIA.

I successfully ported 6 numbers from my AT&T accounts and 3 numbers from my Sprint accounts to H2O.

- I used the "yellow" (not black) H2O SIMs bought at Best Buy for $1 each.
- I went to this site: https://www.h2owirelessnow.com/transfer and entered the phone number to be ported and just fill out info on the screens.
- After entering the H2O SIM number, the screen refreshed and showed the choices for time plans. I selected the one shown in the screen below, and left the box for PIN blank. Filled in the email address and call back number, then clicked SUBMIT. That's it.

All of my AT&T numbers were Boost phone numbers, bought on Ebay. My Sprint phone numbers came various sources (Visible, FreeUp).

Hey guys, my parents have 2 lines on the cheapest 3GB plan. The first bill is $208. It seems they've charged this for service since June 26 up to August 25. Is this higher than it should be? And would there be another bill or would the $250 be sent before that?

$208 is about right for 2 months of service. Chat with Reward Center around the 40th day from activation to request the $250 GCs. If no issues, you should receive the cards 10-14 days after that. Early enough to port out before Aug 25th.
