If your promo isn't working under your account properly try this (worked for me):

Still on TMO ONE All In Promo plan (FRLTUL2LP) which is never eligible for free lines?
This is a great (grandfathered) plan as it gives you 2 lines for $100 or $80 after 2GB data limit kickback on the 2 lines (or even less if you have the plan with T-Mobile employee hookup code). Plus with the additional promotion you get HD streaming, 10GB full speed hotspot and twice the international data speed (256kbs instead of 128kbs).
BUT... this account only supports 3 lines and unless you got the one free line they offered once under this plan you never got and will never get a free line with the plan.
But if the plan works out for you can move to another T-Mobile One plan (FRLTULF2) which cost a little bit more (2 lines for $120 or $100 after kickbacks) but you will be eligible for the free line and hopefully for additional free lines in the future (the plan supports up to 8 lines in total). The reps are also be able to move the kickback and ONE Plus promotion to the new plan. They might not do it immediately for the new free line but this is also possible and might need another try.
Plus the new plan includes $10.99 Netflix Standard HD account contribution which also needs to be factored in as a bonus.
If you want to get out of that hole and make the change here is my conversation regarding the plan change with T-Force on Twitter:

Then I called 611 at night and asked the overseas team to also add the promo add-ons to new free line so that all lines on the account have the ONE Plus promo (no kickback on the free line of course):

Summary of the process and overview of changes:

As I wrote it needs some time and the right reps to make it happen as I struggled with reps in the past to switch to a different T-Mobile One plan and not ending up with a Magenta plan and losing the kickback and One Plus promotion.
Good luck!

Regarding costs to add new line
If you add the line via the website, youll pay $10 for the SIM card to be shipped to you.
If you add the line via a phone call, youll pay the $10 SIM card charge and also $20 for assisted set-up. It is relatively easy to get both of these comped.
If you have a spare sim-card or eSIM, you can use that instead of paying $10 for a new one (bear in mind that it may not be able to do SA 5G). You will need to call since the website does not allow re-use of old cards. (You can also do this via online chat support lines like in-app chat and t-force on twitter)
Expired cards do work, but you have to request a replacement. Again, no SA 5G.
If you have a Costco near you, they will give you the sim card and activate for you for free.

Goto Account->{select line} -> Change SIM (you have to have a different existing or new one sim card ready for that)
If they intend to move that phone number to another T-Mobile account, you're going to do some gymnastics to somehow keep your existing paid line and get another phone number assigned to it. Definitely report back how successful this ends up going as moving a phone number out and keeping the line active with a newly assigned number seems like a pretty rare event that happens successfully only if all the stars align.

Two things I didn't see an answer about FRLTULF2:
- Does it include all taxes so it's exactly $120 (or $100 with 2 kickbacks) which is $20 more than FRTUL2LP?
- I see $10.99 and then $13.99 Netflix standard plan mentioned in some search results. Does T-Mobile cover $10.99 or $13.99 now + tax? (Netflix just raised it to $13.99 + tax.)
I called 611 and was told I'd get a call back in 2-3 hours. I read many people say contact "T-Force" instead. I had no clue what T-Force is so I finally figured out it's contacting T-Mobile via chat on Facebook or Twitter. I don't use either, but I have an ancient FB account so I tried that. I typed in a message and got a brief automated reply from T-Mobile. I assume they are backed up hours there as well which is why it Facebook chat isn't working.
I expect nobody at T-Mobile will respond before the promo is over, and maybe it all can't be done correctly in a single day. I also fear if I reach a rep who claims he/she can do it correctly that I will end up losing my prior plan, not getting the correct new plan and free extra line, and end up in a worse situation than before.
Honestly I wish there were a middle-man I could hire for $50 to take care of all this rigamarole with T-Mobile and get me the right plan. Some of you T-Mobile experts/entrepreneurs should start a business to interface to T-Mobile for people like me who can't handle the complexity. I assume the local T-Mobile store would be useless in helping me do this if I went on 12/31?
I noticed from viewing my SOC/info I don't think I have a "One Plus" promo (I had to look up what that was). Unlike most others here, I'm not a T-Mobile expert. I just use my phone barely knowing what plan I have, and the only time I even concern myself with these things is when I see everyone and their grandma getting more free lines and perks every few months while I'm left out in the cold. I guess you were in that same situation, GreenCreature437, until 12/22, but you figured it out. If I miss this promo, I wonder if it'll be possible to do it next year. This is so overwhelmingly YMMV and complex to me, even with your great explanations, it's no wonder I've been too afraid to make any changes.

T-Mobile covers only $10.99 (still better than nothing). So if you enable Netflix in your T-Mobile account they will add $2 ($3 from Jan 15th) to your T-Mobile to offset the Netflix difference.
The promo ends tomorrow so you still have a full day to chat with them on Facebook, Twitter, iMessage whatever. Just be clear what you want and which SOC you want to move to. If the rep doesn't want to do it try to escalate to a supervisor or give up that rep and try a different one. Technically it's possible including moving the existing promotions to the new free line.
Good Luck!
My plan is to hope for another free line in 2021 and also try to convince a rep to add an employee hookup discount to the account if they become available again. I know this will be difficult but it's worth another try as it would bring the bill down to $96 or even $76 after kickbacks on the 2 paid lines. Not a bad deal for 3 or potentially 4 lines (with ONE Plus promotion add-on) in the future and Netflix included (though this would add the extra $3 so $99 or $79 respectively).
-Added my 11th line yesterday thru Costco (together with 50% iPhone SE + $100 shop card). I got the promo text right away but only showed $6 Hook up discount. Plan price in My Account shows an extra $24.
-Today it got updated to $60 2020 LOU3 (doubled from the November $30 LOU3) and the $6 Hook Up is gone. Plan price in My Account is correct, same as before.

Exactly. I had FOMO (fear of missing out) every time those deals came up and I was left out with my plan .

I forgot if you had a free line with your FRLTUL2LP plan, but if you did (as I do) then I should be able to move that free line to FRLTULF2 and add 2 second free line with this promo? IOW, I don't lose my existing free line when moving between these 2 plans?
We'll see what happens but considering how much time it has taken already and being told no, I'm not optimistic. It's easily 5-10 minutes between messages in chat. I assume it's not always this bad but just everyone else adding a free line at the last minute.

How about to look at this from a different perspective. We may pay less on our monthly bill, but waste too much time dealing with T-Mobile.
You can find something you enjoy that can make you an extra $50 or so every month and you will be happier and less stressed out.
