It seems that Amazon is expanding it's Amazon Wireless Plans Subscription platform and has now launched it's third brand under Tracfone (previously launched Simple Mobile & Cricket). Amazon Wireless Plans for Prime Members are very similar to brands own plans but with extra incentives/savings for Prime Members.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08F2Y4PTR

Amazon Wireless Plans [amazon.com]

On a high level, this plan is $20 All-In including Taxes & Fees ($2 savings in my state) and I get 10% cash back every month (another $2 savings). I tried to buy 2 but it seems to be limited to 1 per Prime Account.

$20 ALL IN PRICE ($15 for Month 1)
-$5 OFF First Month
-$2 Tax Savings
-$2 10% Cash Back every month
-$1 5% provided by Amazon Credit Card
= $17-$18 Final Price (if you add up all the savings)

In comparison, on Tracfone.com you pay $20 + Taxes & Fees.

Benefits
- Unlimited Talk, Text, 1GB Data
- Carrier Choice (ATT/VERIZON/TMO Compatible SIMs)
- Limited to one per accounts
- No Contract, Credit Checks, Keep your Phone, Keep your Phone Number
- Amazon Customer service and billing vs having to deal with Tracfone

Q&A
- Can I switch if I already have Tracfone? A: Yes, as a Tracfone customer you may switch to this Amazon Wireless Plan, Keep Your Number, and enjoy these great benefits. Just purchase this new Plan (SIM included), activate the new SIM, then swap the SIM in your current phone.
- What SIM do I need if I already have a Tracfone device? A: Most Tracfone devices are CDMA based so you must purchase a CDMA Compatible SIM.
- What happens if I run out of data, is it throttled or capped? A: 1GB of Data is capped however you can always buy additional data for $10 for every additional 1GB. You may purchase this item for additional data http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HKAO6C0
- Can I switch to a $25 or $30 plan? A: At this time no, only the $20 1GB is available.
- Can I add more than one line? A: At this time no, only 1 plan per Prime Account is available.

Tracfone website does not have an auto-pay discount - that discount only applies for the first 2 months on the TF site - not on going. Amazon matches that on Month 1 and then from then on you get the ongoing benefits. So after month 2, you already benefit from being on the Amazon side.

how does this compare to the $15/month at mint mobile? I'd rather pay for the year upfront for $15/month

The countdown should continue. According to TF, you must have activate service, it's doesn't matter who you have the service under. Technically the service is still Tracfone so you're good.

This would apply to you:

Did you even bothered to check the website before replying? they have been providing discount on auto refills atleast from year.

Thank you, but did you mean the countdown SHOULD continue?

Yes, have you? Auto-Refill discounts only ever applied on Paygo Plans on Tracfone - never on the new Unlimited Plans. They just came out with a $5 OFF discount on Unlimited Plans a month or two ago.

You may have been mistaken the Paygo with this new Unlimited Plan. It's ok, it happens. Smilie

They just came out with $5 discount but they don't have discount with auto pay. I am sorry, what? It's lot to process both of your comments early morning.

Looking at how fast it became popular when you can buy at same or cheaper price (based on taxes) without amazon prime from tracfone directly with auto refills, man this is paid advertising.

How is this a deal? Tello 1gb plan is way cheaper than this, $10-11 a month with taxes and fees. I think ultra or mint also has a 1gb plan for similar too

The only advantage here is tracphone phones are really cheap? Tello/Mint require MYOD and no discounts on the phones. There's some really cheap tracphone models floating around the Walmart aisles.
