Actually it's one of the worse sales they've done. Sometimes they do 10% off 1 card, I just take any sale I can get without buying too many at a time simply because I don't wanna get married into any one phone plan for too long as phone plan deals pop up fairly often. I will say though that Tmobile connect is definitely one I'll probably stay on for a long time just because it's such a good value already for priority data.
Hmm, my Mint plan (which I have been very happy with) is coming up for renewal in a month. I am considering using this deal and switching to Ultra. Then, I'll be free to switch back to Mint as a new customer next year and take advantage of new-customer deals Mint offers then.
Make sure to read Ultra's T&C. I think I remember seeing a condition long ago that their promos are not valid for customers who were previously on the T-mobile network (including TMO MVNO's like Mint).
Why is T mobile a downside? I am considering going on TMobile network from att on red pocket.
I think it's because TMobile network historically has less coverage than AT&T and Verizon. So, if you go outside of metro areas, you have a higher chance of not having cell signal compared to AT&T/Verizon. I experienced this many years ago during a road trip from the southwest to Yellowstone - there were so many areas where I had no TMo service while my wife's AT&T was ok. Although, T-Mobile has invested in recent years to improve their coverage, I do not really know how far behind they still are in that respect.

What is T-Mobile connect?
It's actually the same company. Mint is an Ultra Mobile brand.
