probaly you have an old acct and its labeled as flexpay. are you getting any kind of corp discount on your acct?

Flex pay accounts they should be able to call and add it that way.

I think the agent is new or full of bs. he may not want to do the extra work. Try different costco around and let them know that you have flex pay.

Nothing yet. I called last week, which was one week from the escalation, I made a fuss about bait and switch, so they escalated to another level. I will call in a few days again to check. The next move will be calling the ceo's office if no resolution is reached. This is unacceptable.

Any updates?

I was finally able to get the line added. I dont have Flex pay but there was some other issue with their system. The agent called to get the line added and that worked.

Good news, I got a $300 rebate check yesterday from Wireless Advocates Rebate after the 2nd tier escalation. It comes in a postcard form.

Don't give up yet everyone. Took a bit of work but it came.

3rd is free right now. I have added 3 lines at Costco. These are two confirmations. One is the Costco rep. Second is more authoritative on Tmobile website. If you go to plans, scroll down to compare plans you can use the drop down to see the total for two or three lines is the same. Also, you can see "with 3rd line free"

I think the kiosk rep is just used to there always being a 3rd line free, as that is the case 90% of the time--unless they are running a free line, BOGO lines, or 50% off line promo period--in which case the free 3rd line is replaced with the promo. They actually have the 50% off 3rd line built into the plan pricing calculator (click plans on T-MO homepage)

Pricing for 5 lines with AutoPay, with 3rd, 4th & 5th line 50% off.
($150/mo.)
Taxes & fees included.

I'm honestly not sure which of the above is correct. Maybe both are. The TMO website does indeed indicate that the payment is the same for either 2 or 3 lines, but the current promotion is 50% off new family lines. Can someone chime in on how the math worked in the past? It appears to vary depending how many lines you're adding.

They've adjusted their pricing calculator, again, since my post you quoted. . .

EDIT: yes they've changed their wording from "50% off lines 3,4,5". . .to " with 3rd line free and 4th & 5th line 50% off.". . .and 6-8

In the past the pricing calculator would show $120 for 2 lines Magenta or 3 lines Magenta when the 3rd line free was active (which was most always). . .so it was $120 for 3 Magenta, and +$20 for each line 4+.

It's a little odd that they are not making more noise about a third line free.

Confirmed it is 120 for 3 lines. Account is showing the correct monthly charge.

What number did you call for this second escalation? I got an email from wireless advocates for the $300 and tried to reply to that email for my other $100 rebate but nothing!

So you received a rebate check? Per the email I mentioned, they said they scheduled the $300 to be sent out as part of their next "run" on tomorrow, 8/10 but it will be a cash card. Did you specifically request a rebate check? I might do that for the $100 one to try and get it faster. Then I have to worry about USPS who has been crap about delivering my mail these days!

I have 3 lines on Verizon right now. I am thinking of switching to T-Mobile. Other than the Costco 2x$300 deal, is there any other offer I can take advantage of? I keep hearing about a 3rd line free, but I don't see anything on the T-Mobile site for it. Others have said 50% off the 3rd line. Again I don't see that offer either. I'd rather just wait for the 3rd free line if I can. Thanks.

If you did port in from another network, then try submitting for that $150 per line switch bonus. . .by going to, and entering the promo code below, along with pertinent phone #, to:
https://promotions.t-mobile.com/

2021 SWITCH P7
Promo Code: 2021SWITCHP7
Start Date: July 16, 2021
Rebate Value: up to $150

I ported 3 numbers from Verizon and took advantage of this Costco $300 and the TMO $150 port in rebate.

I didn't call. All escalations were done through online chat. I didn't ask for a check. I was expecting a costco cash card but got a check instead. Hope that helps.

Thanks m3. Guess I will be doing another chat escalation since I haven't gotten a response at all on my other rebate.
