I came home, called customer service right away, and told the lady my two encounters with Metro corporate store, and asked her to confirm the statements by the rep at the store. She was shocked and apologized for the bad experience at the store. She told me adding line should actually save me money. Then she checked and merged my two lines to my primary account, reducing monthly for the second line from $60 to $60, instantly saving me $30 per month. She was also able to remove insurance which I didn't ask for at the store, crediting to my account.
Lesson learned - if corporate stores extort money from you with upsells + higher/more expensive plans, fraudulent statement, call customer service to verify and they can fix things in your favor. Even better, if you could call right from the store, so the store reps can't lie to you.

Edit: thinking back I think the one thing I could have done to make this sweeter was to trade in a throwaway phone since apparently theres no value minimum. I traded in a phone that sells for at least $100 on ebay.

What's the best way to do that since it's limit 2 per account/household for the $400 rebate?
line1 > $400 rebate = $100
line2 > $400 rebate = $100
line3 > Byod (since the sis in law wants to keep her iphone) hoping there's some kind of credit or something there.
line4 > how much would an A52 cost?
line5 > how much would an A52 cost?
original plan was to get all 5 lines onto the $60 plan = $150.
Could I use those trade in a phone deals to get the A52 for lines 4 & 5 and still be on the same combined account?
Other idea was to maybe split the family plan to first 4 lines(since 4th line is free for $60 a month plan) do 1 trade in on that account, and then 5th line would be using the trade in with $25 plan to get an A52 if that's available?

In some stores, trade in is not compatible with $400 off. You may have to pay more than $100 for A52. YMMV. In the long run, since your monthly cost is lower (4x$25+$30), it will cost you less.
I am assuming you have 4 phones to trade in, if not, you can get some used phones from ebay for cheap. I traded in a very old phone with cracked screen without problem.
