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!!
A word of advice on the hookup deal... A couple of years ago when Hookup started I switched from Simple Choice to Tmobile One and I saw everyone was getting these hookup codes. I never did, but I was persistent and eventually got the right rep on the line and they added it for me without me even having a code, so its possible, just be persistent and if rep don't cooperate move on to the next. I did same thing with One Plus Promo... it had expired 6 months earlier and I did same thing and eventually they added One Plus Promo on all my lines. Hang in there and keep trying.

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?
Not correct, I had One Plus Promo added to my Nov free line and will try to add on this LOU 4 line soon. I even had them add kickback on my Nov line, but it didn't really make a difference since the I didn't see any real savings with the kickback as it would offset the free line cost. So I just removed kickback off the LOU 3 from November -- didn't make a difference either way.

I have T-Mobile One TIUL4L plan. That plan was $160 for 4 lines. I added a line earlier this year. Tried to add one more line by phone and also through chat on App but both CSRs told me I am at the maximum for my plan and can't add more line without switching to Magenta.

I have kickback on all my paid lines so cannot switch to Magenta and keep Kickback.

Reached out to T-Force through Twitter, and they had no problem adding a line an they told me my SOC allows up to 8 lines. Promo shows fine on my account.

I called and they let me add a free line to my old unlimited family plan that has 14GB hotspot included. Any suggestions for a cheap phone to use as a hotspot?
Yeah I'm wondering the same. Do we have to put the sim in a phone to use the data? I wonder if there's a way to use a hotspot instead, but google hasn't turned up anything

What I'm really trying to figure out is whether T-Mobile can swap an existing number onto either LOU 3 or LOU 4. Trying to move a current line that uses a lot of data onto either one and vice versa move the LOU 3 number which uses minimal data onto one of my paid lines so that I can get kickback discount. Had a knowledgeable rep tell me not possible, but curious if anyone has succeeded at this... not about to give up.

Did you read the OP where it specifically states what offers don't combine with the free line?

You'll lose the free line as the One Plus free phone promo IS NOT ELIGIBLE....

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?
I don't see why not. I've done exactly that.

Huh.. what is the source ? Op mentioned clearly it does not work with Costco BYOD ..
I'm not talking about the Costco BYOD. That's a separate thing. Plenty of info in this thread and the reddit one.

Yep. That's what a lot of people said is not possible though a Twitter rep told me today they can do it but I should wait a bill cycle or two first:

"Thanks for allowing me to do a little more research. So what we can do is a number swap, to switch the line associations. This will allow your wife to use the free line created on today and then the number created today would be swapped to the line created in 2016. We do suggest that you wait at least 2 bill cycles to do this, just to assure the promotion for your free line is in place and no concerns are caused.

You can just reach out to us here after the timeframe and request a number swap between 6747 and 7957. All of the notes I have posted will be here as well as our full conversation."

What the sequence of events you followed. I was going to go into Costco, ask for the new line and $100 card, then go home and message Tforce and ask do send out the 4a since I have the new line added through Costco.
