No. I logged in today and the popup came for the 10K reward points. It is usually 7K points. One will receive the points after 2 months. I am not going to add another line because I already have 2 lines and lots of minutes/text/data already. If I had 1 line, I would do it but I got 2 lines already. I don't need anymore.
If you add a line how many minutes and time do you have to place on device? How many 10k lines can you add?

A line is a line. It doesn't matter what kind of line as long as it is a line with any paid plan. You can't open a line and use your reward points counting for the 7000 pts or 10000 pts reward. I have no idea how may lines you can add. I didn't do the promo deal. See if the promo is still available when you login to your account. I saw the promo earlier today in the morning. I just logged in with my Samsung Galaxy A71 5G and I didn't get the 10,000 pts popup promo like earlier so maybe it is over now.

I got a text message today to my iphone SE 2020 with the tracfone plan about the 10,000 pts. It says you can add up to 4 lines. However when I click their link, nothing is popping up now so the promotion could be over now. 7k a line or 10k a line?.... You will be surprised how easy it is to get 3K pts difference. It builds up quickly especially with the wheel spin and scratch off.

*** I just found out last night that my Straight Talk runs the same reward program and I have been using the Straight Talk home phone service ($15 per month) for a couple years now and didn't take advantage of the reward point system. I would have loved to use my rewards points for Straight Talk as it would have saved me a lot. I hope they would combine the points together but they don't. Some things to earn points would work for both and some things wouldn't. Weird. Even though they are 2 different companies, the reward system is somewhat linked together to my profile.

I just spun the wheel for straight talk and just won a free gift... A free 1 year shoprunner membership. It is program where I get free 2 day shipping and free returns from +100 stores. The regular price for yearly shoprunner is "$79". I won't shop at Neiman Marcus or expensive retailers like that but stores like Lenovo, Under Armour and others I may consider their deals.

What is the scratch off? All I see is the wheel and they never gave more than 10 points.

They switch between the spin the wheel and scratch off. They are pretty much the same in rewarding the points. I just did the Straight Talk spin wheel and they gave me a free gift on the spin. It was a free year membership for Shoprunner which costs $79 a year. It is supposed to be deals and fast 2 day shipping.

Anyone also notice that long valued customers, who aren't just leaving after 2 months or if not 1 month, aren't getting their phones unlocked on the 60 day time limit?
It's time to leave Verizon and it's stepchildren!💩

Not sure what you're talking about. The new 60 day policy didn't go into effect till 11/23 so no one knows how it will work yet. It will be 1/23 at the earliest before we know if it's automatic or not. The 1 yr for previous activations is what it's always been, there's no change.

I know about what you are explaining. Just showing and informing people everything to be aware of and getting growing support of Verizon's stepchildren.

Here are my predictions with the future Verizon! TracFone is being talked about so much negativity with customers these days that they will probably be the first ones to lose their name and don't know if they'll consolidate into straight talk or it be total Wireless but total Wireless has got is just bad reputation as TracFone does so probably what will end up happening is right before they finally give up the straight talk name all the other companies will merge into the straight talk name to try to build confidence in the Verizon and then eventually Verizon will just take over with their regular name!

Read terms of sale, it's 3 years before VZ can make major changes to the TF brand due to its agreement for SafeLink customers. All of TF brands (PagePlus uses VZ, Net 10 uses 3 networks, Simple Mobile & Walmart Family Mobile use T-Mo, Straight Talk uses 3 networks, Total Wireless uses VZ, TF uses all 3 networks) will likely be combined into 1 all using VZ at some point but not anytime soon.
First to go will be the phone plans using T-Mo and AT&T.
VZ already has a couple of prepaid divisions (one is Visible) & at some future point may restructure, but it's not a concern right now.
