Didn't see this answered. Does the 6 month card expire after a certain time? I won't need it for another 4 months but am interested in this deal

Plan activation must occur by 1/7/22 for in-store purchase otherwise plan activation must occur within 45 days of purchase.

Last year they did not honor the free 3 months . I guess you should be non mint customer for 6 months.

Quote from PlatinumButterfly :
Each sim slot has its own IMEI. It is tied to the slot, not the phone per se.

They did this last year too. This restriction is only applied to the deals where they add on additional service on top of what comes with the card, like this 3+3. You can still buy the off-the-shelf 3mo deals (like the $20 for 3mo) if you are using the same IMEI.
Wow. I NEVER knew this. Thanks. I have an e-sim capable phone. I wonder if it's the same thing. Or would I actually need a dual sim?

Limited time offer available from 10/10/21 to 1/7/22.
New Mint Mobile customers who purchase any 3-month plan from Best Buy in store or on their website will receive 3-months for free.
Free 3-month plan applied as a discount at checkout and customer will receive a 6-month plan in total.
Plan activation must occur by 1/7/22 for in-store purchase otherwise plan activation must occur within 45 days of purchase.
Offer limited to three (3) per customer and may not be combined with other offers. Plans renew as a 6-month plan at full price.

Note: To qualify for the offer, International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number cannot have been associated with a Mint Mobile plan within 90 days of activation.


I'm still on month #1 of the previous $30 3month sim deal.
My local Best Buy doesn't have the 15gig/month sim in stock.
In the past, I've ordered from BestBuy.com to ship to home and activated 5 months later without a problem.

This time there's no need to take that risk.
I can wait till Dec to order since activating by 1/7/22 will be within 45days of order date.
(I have a 2nd phone to activate this B3G3 offer.)

Pricing:
4gig/month: $45
10gig/month: $60
15gig/month: $75
Unlimted (but 5gigs/month hotspot): $90

Thought this would be hot enough to make into it's own thread.)
So you can use your same number just not the same imei?

Anyone know when they say "activated IMEI", do they track the IMEI you end up using the SIM on or just the activated IMEI? Hypothetically, you activate on phone #1, but end up using it on phone #2. Is Phone #2 still eligible for new promos like this one in less than 90 days?

I am concerned about the fine print in this deal. The link in the OP says that the three month bonus will be added at check out. However, I just bought mine in store and there were no three month bonus added. The receipt clearly says three month sim. Instead, my receipt gives me a code for a three months free of Youtube Premium. Has anyone else seen this? I won't use youtube so that code does me no good. Not sure if I should return or not.

Used both, mint has better signal and speed but both TMobile
Thanks, did not know that. The dropped calls surprised me but they are no longer happening.

When I clicked on the link, there was no indication of any free 3 months within the Best Buy app. Thanks

Those who got this deal, can you give some details on what the fine print meant? Do you get a 6-month plan at Best Buy checkout? Or do you get a 3 month plan and have to trust that the Mint activation process will give you another 3 months free somehow?

The question is: how likely will you get screwed out of this deal? Is it a sure thing, because the checkout process gives you a 6 month sim? Or is there room for Mint to wiggle out of giving you a free 3 months and you might have to work for it?

lol I love free Free Guy offer.

I think the actor Ryan(?) owns or sponsors Mint Mobile. I've been using it for last 3 months and if you are someone who mostly rely on Wifi, this is a good deal. (Check if your location has signals thu on their website)
He bought an ownership stake in Mint. He calls himself the owner in ads, but isn't the lone owner. So he is one of the few "owners" in business that can probably create a pretty viral ad campaign on the cheap.

We have Mint. When on WiFi, I have no issues. What is weird is I came from a $15/mo Tmobile prepaid plan where I had no issues on cellular. Now I can be some place where I previously had a smooth connection and now data moves at a snails pace. I am no where close to my data cap either - have 4 gigs and use about 1-1.5 gigs on average. I believe I moved to Tmobile the same time as I got my current phone (Pixel 4a) as well so I don't think it's the phone.

I just placed the order and it shows only one pack of 3 months … how do I make sure there will be another pack of 3 months ?

Anyone has any idea ?
