Looks like it's pretty evident now you can go to Costco and get the $100 card and it's eligible for the free line. Now the real question at this point is it possible to now get that Pixen 4a 5G for 50% in conjunction? Any ideas on how that might work?

Via leaks from reliable insiders/employees. These threads tend to compliment the reddit threads of the same topic.

I really want to get in on one of the hookup deals... But I'm aware that may require a new account. Hard to get off of the family plan I'm on now and suddenly have to pay $80 for two lines and wait for the free lines to come... And in 2019, there were none!!
Me too. Smilie But only if I can convince a rep to stack that on existing account. No way opening new account and starting tenure from scratch and then missing out on the next loyalty trade-in rebate.

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 did this as well 3 rounds ago. Apparently, they're cracking down on this, I haven't heard of a singe case this time around where the switch was done.
One rep insisted on charging $20 assist fee for activating an eSIM, which can't be done on your own.

It's not excluded (probably because you're not saving that much). So far I haven't seen anyone try for 100% off via new line+trade in. 50% is no issue with just trade-in, but you'll need at least a galaxy s7, which is about $70 on eBay.

That's my question actually... Anyone here know if we can get free pixel 4a 5g with trade in + new line like in November?

Edit:nevermind... The 100% off deal ended. Doh.

I have a simple choice plan. Just added 2nd free line with this for total of 5 lines now. It was one time 30 dollars and monthly fees are about 4.35 a month

I did eSim on my own last month through the website without needing a rep. It was to replace my existing Sim card I had that was old.

Does anybody know if these free lines stay if you were to convert from Simple Choice to Magenta? Any reason to stay on Simple Choice? It's always seeming excluded from phone deals..

Thanks in advance !

The reason to stay on Simple Choice is its always cheaper than Magenta. There's a ton of simple choice plans that qualify for free line, and some that are not. Check your SOC code or just call tmobile and ask what it is.

I am on FRLTULF2 with 3 paid and 3 free lines. I am considering trying to convince a rep to switch me to FRLTULFM9 but first want to make sure my bill will be the same or less after all discounts (i.e. kickback, etc.)
That plan is for 9-12 lines, which means the base price will be for 9 lines, minus your 3 free, i.e. you will be paying for 6 lines.
This happened to me when I was in that plan and ported out 3 lines, the bill hardly went down. They fixed it by putting me back to the original up to 8 plan.

My other lines had one plus promo free from when I joined tmobile but they said they can't add free one plus promo for this new line and if I want to add it will cost $15 monthly for that...

Is that correct or I need new csr?

I was talking about activating one for the new free line.
I ended up activating at Costco, then switching to eSIM when I got home.

Based on what you stated above, there is no real advantage to porting out and porting back in over the free lines?
