Quote from TSYA :
Usually take a billing cycle to show correctly (was told same thing by a rep and they confirmed that it was there).

However - someone posted earlier a trick to get it to show up immediately. On the free line you added - go to Manage Add On and change the data to "No Data" and save. Then go back in there and change it back to what it was (mine was changed from Tmobile One to No Data and then back to Tmobile One) and it showed up right away. My bill went back down to what it was before I added the free line and the promo showed up as applied to my account.
Two days, and still no congratulations text from TMO for my free line. Hmmm... Interesting tip though.

I had Tforce swap a number for me before. The issue was the previous CSR port in a # into Line 1 instead of Line 5. So the new CSR moved Line 1 # to replace Line 5 # , then brought back my original # to Line 1
Good to know that it's possible. Though in your case they had to make good a mistake at their end which is different to just a number swap request because I want it. Will see how it goes after the next bill and if they still remember what the rep confirmed to me today. Wink

How is it
T-Mobile
that some loyal customers on the frltul2lp never qualify for anything( past 2 free line offers). I mean if you don't want members thats one thing, but I have been a loyal customer over 10 years. How come you can't just migrate customers that want the free line to another plan that is similar in cost? Why is it if I was a new member in September and got an insider hookup code(20 percent off) I could have a Magenta Plus plan with 4 lines (2 free ones) by now and only paying $112 a month and getting netflix. Kind of feel like new customers get a better deal than old customers. We don't even get an option anymore. Tell me why its worth staying with
T-Mobile
at this point?
Switch out and then switch back when there is promo going on.

Has it been 100% confirmed yet that those who added the last free line in November get to keep this one for free?

I tried adding through chat, and the agent pointed out the terms saying along the lines of "you can only take advantage of one overlapping offer: 2020 3rd Line on Us"

So I went to T-Force and was told that I won't be eligible because I added in November. I'm on Magenta.

So that's why I want to know if it's 100% confirmed. On Sunday, people were mentioning it might not be possible because it's both "2020 3rd Line on Us" and will drop off later.
Was able to add free line in December after adding one in November. Line is activated and bill shows $0.FRLTUL4LP Soc code account. Good Luck.

I tried to switch (through TForce on FB chat) from FRLTUL4LP (maxed out at 8 lines) to FRLTULFM9 and was mentioned that since One Plan is no longer offered, I can only switch to Magenta Frown

I am hoping someone who is familiar with the current Costco promotions can help me out.

I am eligible for a free line and am good on devices. But my stepson - with his own TMO military account - needs a new phone and would like the iPhone 12. He has the iPhone 8S to trade in. Buried in this post is someone saying that there is a $540 iPhone rebate at Costco. Is that tied to activation of a new line? If so, I will add my new line at Costco. If it is simply a trade in rebate then I will add the new line myself and get the device separately.

Also, if I add the new line to my account and it is tied to the new iPhone, am I still able to give him the phone? Just trying to figure out how to save the most on the purchase of a new iPhone 12. TMO reduced their trade in amounts just before the new free line promo began so only $300 now for the 8S rather than $415 last week.

Sorry for adding to an already long thread.
TIA

I'm worried that this will ultimately be my situation. I contacted TForce through Facebook messenger asking specifically if our plan (10SCFM4) qualified for the "2020 Line On Us 4" promo. The agent said said yes, we qualified for the free line, so I went through and added the new line right then. In my TMO Account page, the new line is listed showing $0.00/mo BUT the base rate for my plan (Simple Choice North America 10GB with Family Match Promo) went from $120 to $140 Mad which is the typical $20 cost to add a line through our plan.

Do these free lines show up as bill credits? If not, it looks like I'll need to follow up with them if I get charged in the next bill...
I finally got a reply from TForce via Twitter (never got a response from Facebook Messenger) and this is what he stated regarding our plan (10SCFM4):

"Thank you for taking the time to reach out! We are definitely here and ready to help out with any information you need on that promo! Since you are already on a Promo plan as is it would not unfortunately qualify for the add a line promo. I think where the confusion may have been before is that your rate plan is similar to another available at the time but that one didn't have the discounts built in that you do. Unfortunately, your plan would not qualify for this offer. However, if you want we can look at getting you set up on a plan that would! I would be happy to make that happen."

This is the same reason all the free line promos they offered this year didn't work with our plan.

Just got my free sim card from Costco.

The guy knows this free line very well ,he told me there is no BYOD promotion this time so I do not need get the rebate paperwork to sign.

The paper shows "Line on US 4".
I have not checked my t-mobile account yet.

Just keep trying until you get a rep who is willing to switch you to the FRLTULFM9. I was lucky the first try and had added three additional free lines since I switched over. All discounts remained intact.

I was surprised, too. Since with the last free line promotions the reps always said no. Today I tried it via Twitter again with no real hope and was surprised that the rep said yes to move to FRLTULF2 and also transferring the existing promotions on the existing lines to the new plan. So I still have the One Plus Promo, Kickback add-ons on the existing lines plus I now have also Netflix which comes with FRLTULF2.
I also had old T-Mobile SIM cards so the rep activated the new free line on an existing SIM card. I didn't have to pay the extra SIM card and activation fee then.
The only part which didn't work was to move my prepaid T-Mobile Connect number over to the free line as it needs to be a new line or ported in from a different provider. Probably to shine on their internal KPI adding new lines.
Just to confirm this is actually 2/130 and you're just already counting the $10 autopay discount, correct?

Quote from Baguda :
I think that may be a record, but one thing we who read these T-Mo deal threads know is this:

T-Mo is incredibly inconsistent in what they allow and who gets what deals. They are the very definition of YMMV.

Other companies have uniform policies and pricing plans, but T-Mo is loophole and "special deal" city where some people get killer deals, other people get mediocre deals, and other people get no deals. I've always preferred companies who treat everyone equally rather than hearing that the previous customer and the next customer got great deals, but the spinning wheel of chance didn't land on the right number/rep for me. Most people would get mad and stop dealing with such a YMMV company like that, but many keep jumping on the bandwagon hoping the wheel of chance we'll favor them. It rarely favors me.

T-Mo reminds me a lot of Willy Wonka saying "YOU GET NOTHING. You lose! Good day, sir!"
You do realize we are minority, right? Average TM customer does not care or gives a shite about this deal
