This was the 3rd line free promo back in 2017.
This one's on Us (AAL): AALPROMOB
I could be wrong but AAL was a free line offered in 2017 just like Dec. They didn't compensate for the FF. Last night, I was also offered LOU4 to replace my FF Roll Eyes (Sarcastic).

Some more interesting observations from studying my bill after my conversion from FRLTUL4LP plan to TIULFM9. TLDR: Kickback is working again, bill went down additional -$60.

FRLTUL4LP
I had 5 paid lines with line level promos and 3 free lines without line level promos. kickback didn't work and reps told me I was paying too little already so I stopped pushing for it every month.

TIULFM9
I have 5 paid lines with line level promos, 1 free line with line level promos (previously did not have line level promos), and 3 free lines without line level promos. I got -$60 kickback automatically on this bill.

Based on my experience, if you are on a similar FRLTUL4LP soc and discounts as I was previously, would recommend converting to TIULFM9.
Did you do the math yourself to see if the $60 kickback discount is actually applied towards the bill. Sometimes they just list the discount but the actual discount is less. What is your bill total now (ignoring EIP) compare to before?

Where is your autopay discount? You should have that at the bare minimum.

Autopay: MEPYDIS40
I removed it to make my case stronger and get more empathy from agents who are helping me. I do not have this auto-pay discount before.

$120 - $60 = $60 bill. Some rounding.

Nice. But how you only pay $120 if you have 5 paid lines? Even with hookup you can't hit those numbers I don't believe.

Happy new year folks !!!

I added a free line at Costco on Dec 23rd, also bought the V11 phone with rebate, haven't submitted the rebate yet.
I was given a temp number at Costco, can I now port a number from other carrier to replace the number given at Costco? I think changing number should not affect the free line? Do I have to call/chat to do the porting and is there any charge for number changing or Tmobile assistant support charge for doing this? As I remember, there 's no charge in November when ported a number to replace a temp number, there was even an offer for $100 for porting a line. As I remember, I need to use the new port in number ( permanent number) for the A11 and $100 rebate, right? Any input is highly appreciated.

When I switched in 2017, I wasn't looking to carry forward my FF free lines. Actually, they didn't switch, but opened a new account in my name and added all ongoing promotions at that time - insider discount, kickback, 3rd line free when you open an account with 2 lines, oneplus promo on all lines, etc.

Since then, I was able to add free lines over a period of 3 years.

Okay I got you. Make sure you add the autopay before the bill generates. It is difficult to get credit for that after the bill gets generated. From the looks of it, getting free lines is an ongoing battle, and you don't want to lose the obvious discounts.

You can port in any number which was not with T-Mobile for past 90 days.

Thanks, but I think you could port in a number even if the number was with Tmobile within past 90 days, but you could not get any benefit from Tmobile, such as rebate, is this right?

Not sure how this turned into an algebra exam, but King Ultra did the calculations in his previous post.

How did you get $110?
Based on your post,
$310 -40 Autopay-54 Insider-30 AAL-30 LOU-30LOU2 -30 LOU3
=​ $96
What he didn't consider were the EIPs and kickback.

So...I got the 2020 line on us 3 offer with the Costco $200 BYOD cash card offer and am waiting on that to process. Most recently I just added another line for the 2020 line on us 4 promo at Costco and the very helpful associate gave me the $100 cash card rebate form. The most recent line on us offer showed up in my account same day, but is shows up as $40 line on us 3 (was 20). Anyway...if I take a chance and submit the Costco cash card offer, what will happen if it does not qualify? Do I get the cash card and lose the free line, or do they reject the $100 cash card. If it is the latter, I am willing to try but don't want to jeopardize the free line.

Did you end up changing plan?
Yes, after I read all the posts in here, I changed my plan to Tmobile One 9+ lines. I'm so glad I did since my bill is lower and I got to take advantage of the new free line.

You may lose your free line when port in a number with T-Mobile for past 90 days. If the system finds it out(auto audit), it will remove any incompatible promo on the line.
