If someone can help me or let me know if I am doing it right. I am trying to add kickbacks to some of my new lines but I am not having success with TMobile on twitter or Facebook. Is there another way to do this.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I was told Kickback only applies to lines activated before 2018. So even if the rep added to your newly lines (activated after 2018), you won't get any Kickback credit.

How? Tell us more!
I talked with an overseas specialist so don't know if that helps. Basically they messed up on my account and I asked them to do right by it & persisted they add the insider discount.

I have been seeing people add kickbacks to free lines. So just wondering how they are going about doing that.

I've got a paid line added in 2019 and now two free lines added in 2020 and all of them carry Kickback. My two original lines on my plan have had Kickback on them though from when they first offered Kickback on T-Mobile One plans.

On your plan, under the Kickback promo, does it say for lines activated before 2018?

For my third paid line I asked them to add it when I did the November free line. Never knew it was an option to add it until I read about people being successful at it in the November free line thread. Also asked the new line to mirror the add-ons and features if my two original lines, so I was able to get the One Plus Promo added to the third line and November free line. Took a couple chat sessions to get it all straight.

When I added December free line I asked them to mirror my other lines and they did it no problem.

I have 2 paid lines and 5 free lines. And my autopay discounts total $35. I believe the free lines would actually be $5 without autopay? My bill is the same with 7 lines as it was with 5, so it's not like the free lines are -$5
And I think autopay discount caps at $40 (8 lines)?
You are on a 2-8 Line Plan, so your free Lines are just at Zero instead of being a discount from your Plan. I would guess that if you add a paid line, and somehow move to the 9+ Line Plan with the discounts intact, your bill will be lower.

Wow! worship I'm Still learning the TMO best plays. . .

I have 7 lines Magenta for $96. So you're saying that if I add 2 more lines (either a paid line $16 plus possible future FLOU --or-- 2 lines paid @$32) to get onto 9-12, that I would then get the $40 or whatever for autopay as an actual discount to my bill. . .maybe dropping current bill by $24 or $8 even though I would have 2 more lines??? But might have to fight to keep my 5 Free lines or hookup?

TIA

Perhaps, Autopay is acct level execution which apply to all lines. And if, say a line would normally cost $25 to add to the acct In the free line scenario, it would show a deduction of $20 since $5 autopay discount was deducted at the acct level instead of $25.

All those lines will/should revert back to $20 discount from $30. Your price will be $50 higher after that.
They won't revert to $20. That's how the billing system is designed.

It's possible that all these free lines result in enough customers moving to 9+ line plans that they decide it's an issue and fix the billing. There's no chance they aren't already aware of this.

Honestly no clue what the family discount is lol. Only thing I can think of is maybe it's my work discount?

The 50% off add a line was a promotion they ran a couple years back. I believe the math for that line is $25 add the line, subtract $5 for autopay ($20), then 50% off ($10), then kickback ($5), and the line comes out to $5.
It's your discount for Netflix on Us.
