does this stack with amex mint deal?
The Amex offer is meant to be used on Mint mobile site, this deal is on best buy. Isn't that true?

Quote from FederlineYo :
Also worth noting, Mint will usually offer you a trade in value of your three free months to use towards purchasing a 1 year plan at a discount.

For example, in 2021, I paid 1 year for the price of 10 months.
This seems like a bad deal? Why would I trade in 3 months for a savings of 2 months? Or is this referring to a plan upgrade e.g. start with the 4gb and the 3 extra months, but rather than using the 3 extra months upgrade to a 10gb 1-year plan?

I would assume so, I don't think the amex offer would get applied in this case.

I think better sign up for Verizon BYOD deal with minimum 5 lines. If you really need 2 lines to port, add 3 dummy lines. Verizon will come out cheap and you would be good for 1 year. No jumping around. And you will be on the network itself versus a mvno and capped at 4gb per month. Verizon would be unlimited data. Just my 2 cents.

Is this a best buy exclusive promo or any 3month mint sim bought from anywhere qualifies as long as activation is between those dates?
That's a good question. I would *assume* it is best buy only since it is only appearing, for now, on Best Buy's site.But then this is Mint we are talking about and even in the best of time it's a YMMV thing.

Still not as good as the boost mobile 3 months for $15 and 5gigs instead of 4gb on mint...and they expire around 5/2024 so you can buy a bunch of those if you do the Google voice route for your main #, like many here on SD have been doing for a very long time, and still more coming in daily. I just did it. Bought a bunch of the boost 3 months cards. That's $60 a year for 5gb. Just need to activate a new one every 3 months with a different email. Can't beat that. Plus the one-time $20 fee to Google to transfer your main # over.

By the way the Boost sim cards even work in those Alcatel Linkzone devices they had a few months back for $1 with the awesome batteries that a bunch of SDers got all over (I just got 2 myself...I don't think there was even a limit lol). You can use them as your hotspots for everything since your not really using your main boost # and don't need it bc you'd be getting your calls and texts thru GVoice...it works perfectly for me, even routes calls directly to your phone like a normal phone call and not thru the voice app!

If 4 or 5 lines required then there are lot of options. The problem is when someone needs one or two line only. Do you have suggestion for that?

What are the other options except Verizon for multiple lines? Please note Verizon BYOD will be net between $0 and $3 per month for a year with no cap on anything.

My experience with Mint on non-5G Pixel phone was significantly better than Boost. I'd not consider transferring my main line to Boost.

How easy is it to keep a similar rate in the future with Mint if I were to get this for 2 lines? Does their rate increase to some outrageous amount once this introductory price runs out?

I am a month into a year of Mint, and so far so good. Been jumping around to MVNOs, had Visible, then Tello, now Mint.
Visible - At the time they only had one plan, it was terrible. Felt soooooo slow, lag on pages loading like always. Speed tests showed capped data speed but no biggie, the deprioritizaition was felt hard which was the problem for me.
Tello - Was great, fast, no worries, I was hit with the data being so slow after your allotted amount you basically can't do anything. But, my fault.
Mint - Moved to mint for eSim and a phone deal. Service has been great so far, including hotspot. Mint and Tello both used T-Mobile and in the Phoenix area it has been perfect. Very happy with Mint, especially for the price.
Try hello it's 25 total first two months

I'm guessing mint mobile won't start this promo on their own website for a few weeks.

How would that be better if you only have two lines?

As I mentioned, add additional 3 dummy lines and put those 3 sims in your drawer for 1 year or if you have some international guest give it to them. Verizon deal makes sense on at least 5 lines. Plus you can chat with them to waive off $35 activation fees plus some cashback sites gives you back $75 per line you add. Means $75 *5. It all depends what's the best cashback site these days and how much cash back they provide. Search on slickdeals by verizon byod.
