these cheap phones are great to keep at in the car, at work, or in your bag just in case for emergencies. just remember to at least use them about once a month to keep them active else they could go inactive and then game over.

Yes. If you wait 60 days before transferring the minutes/airtime and haven't added 4+ lines to your account already, you'll also get 10k points per line. 20k points is worth much more than 120 (60*2) days of airtime, so that's usually the way to go (plus then you can unlock the phones and make them more useful as a donation if you just care about the airtime.)

This is essentially 20k points (2x Add-a-Line bonuses) on Tracfone for $30, 20k points gets you a $300 off coupon. That gets you multiple refurbished iPhone XRs you can trade in for a Pixel 7 or for Apple GC credit.

if you are brand new to tracfone dont forget to use a referral code for 5,000 points. then if you want to activate the other phone just add it to your account and get another 10,000 points. google "tracfone referral"

Quote from Sean62108 :
People have said that making any current line changes (beyond adding more lines) may put your pending 20k points at risk. It is a royal pain to get any missing points. The chat can't help. The phone reps don't have the info. Most of the phone reps don't even know there is a 10000 point offer going on.

If you haven't done it already I would port out first then add the other two lines. Good luck.
There are posts here that people got the 10,000 points per added line to show up in their rewards accounts within seconds after activating a new line, while others did not get the 10,000 points to show up in their account.

Nothing shows up in my account for a day now.

Has anyone been able to resolve these 10K points not added as pending in the account after activation, and how was it done???

Another problem is that this 1200/1200/1200 plan does NOT show up in my account and also does not show up in the Tracfone web site as an available plan.
The 2 new lines with the new phone #s show up as active but no plan data though.

The 1500/1500/1500 plan from a previous line still active, shows up and it's also on the Tracfone web site as an available plan.

How many times did you receive AAL pts this year, before add the 2 phones from this deal?

First time I added these 2 lines to the account.
There is a line in the account that was added a couple of years ago, so with these 2 new lines there'll be 3.

Can I use the sim in another phone?
Quote from Hunting4Dealz :
Just use a new SIM instead. Tracfone SIM cards are $1 with free shipping if you look on eBay and sort by price. Make sure you purchase the CDMA flavor of Tracfone SIM. Then you just chat with support to change the SIM card on your account. In that same chat you can provide them with the IMEI of the device you want to use with the new SIM card. So long as the other phone is unlocked or Tracfone branded you're good. When you are sure the SIM and phone are working properly wait a day or two and log into your Tracfone account on their website and remove the previous device from your account. Removing the previous device is optional but highly recommend doing so.
Can I use the SIM from this flip phone to activate a new, never activated Tracfone-branded Samsung A20? I don't have a Tracfone account, how do I maximize this for points?

From Tracfone's Reward FAQ

Quote :
When will my points become available for Adding Lines?
Awarded points will take 60 days to process. Existing line(s) and new line(s) must be active for pending points to become available.
The way it's processed: You need 60 days of service to qualify. The pending points do not become active until day 61, if both the existing and new line are still active.

If you buy a 60 day plan, your new phone will not be active when the pending points become available. That's why you need to purchase at least 90 days worth of service, since that's the smallest amount you can buy in order to qualify

Just got my 2 phones in the mail. Spent about 5 min in chat to get them added to my account. Rep knew exactly what I wanted to do. Applause

20k in my account, 61 days right? laugh out loud


When or what needs to happen to get the 1200min/365 days added to my main account? Is that also after the 61 days?

Ok, re-read the guide and am a little confused.

Do I turn on/activate the phones now or do I wait till the 61 days are up to move the minutes/service over to my main line?

I remember reading a post stating that a chuck of points were removed after combining the second line with the main line. The person was told the rep the reason was because one of the lines were removed. Can anyone confirm this? The points in my account have vested and planning on combining the second line with the main line. But I worry that I might lose the points. Thanks

I received my two phones today.
-Chatted with an agent and asked to add a device to the account but not to activate
-10K points shows up right after 10 sec, then I asked to add the second phone
-I saw 20K points showed up, then end the chat
-Turned on 1st phone and connected to wifi
-Tried to activate from the phone, kept failing, then
-Logged on to my account and click Activate, and typed in the IMEI of the phone
-Restarted the phone and tried to make a call. First, it wasn't working, so I restarted the phone, then it worked after the second reboot.
-Repeated the same process for the 2nd phone. Both phones were activated with no issues.

So I bought one set of these a couple weeks ago, added them and got the 20k points without issue. Ordered a 2nd set which just arrived. The first wouldn't boot up properly, the second had an empty SIM card tray. Disappointing. Chatted with HSN and they're sending another set out and want me to return these. I considered just trying to add them both to my account anyway since i have the little slips of paper you get with each phone that have the imei and sim numbers on them. Anyone know what HSN does with these returned phones?

The included SIM should work in most, if not all, Tracfone branded cellular devices. Easier to chat with a Tracfone employee and have them activate the SIM card while it's still inside the Orbic flip phone. Then you can move the SIM to another device after you've confirmed it is working properly. But first you need to setup your account then join rewards with a referral code. Read the mini guide regarding maximizing points and much more: https://www.reddit.com/r/TracFone...de_how_to/

We are not allowed to share our referral codes on Slickdeals but you can find a referral code on Reddit within this randomized comments thread which is specifically setup to make it fair: https://old.reddit.com/r/TracFone...odes_here/

My current understanding is that the 8000 point referral bonus is now dead and the maximum is 5000. Was not long ago the 8000 point bonus was still alive though.

Since you are not adding a line to an existing account I'm not sure you would get the 10,000 point bonus on both phones. To claim the 10,000 bonus on both flip phones you would need an existing line. Maybe buy the cheapest SIM + service bundle and use that with the A20 to establish your first line and then follow the guide for rewards setup. After that you can add each flip phone to your account as a new line as shown in the guide. After 61 days you unlock both flip phones and they fetch pretty decent money once unlocked IF you keep them in like new condition. After the flip phones are both unlocked you use the chat feature to terminate each of the additional lines and ask them to merge the minutes from each flip phone onto the line with your A20. Sounds like a lot of steps but it's not hard so long as done in correct order.Cool

Whatever SIM you use with the brand new A20 make sure you keep that same SIM inside the phone for 61 days so you can unlock the A20 without any issues. Swapping SIM cards around screws up the countdown timer for your A20 as I found out the hard way. If unlocking doesn't matter to you then you can go wild swapping SIM cards between Tracfone devices. They don't seem to mind.
