Edit: i see the post the other person linked, that's everything I did, but i just swapped the SIM card. I tried changing the device online, but it has errored out every time I've tried, & i didn't want to spend an hour+ on the phone with support, like I've had to do every time I've called them.

Go to tracfone.com, click activate, keep number, enter texted security code, enter imei of new phone.
I turn my main phones airplane mode on and start up new phone.
Use the flip phone for calls and texts* for a day like it's 1999.
24hrs later I go back to tracphone.com and hit the activate button again , keep number etc and use the imei of my main phone.
Things to note:
Lately the total Mins,texts, Mb's don't update on the account for hours. The end date has been pretty quick though.
*Also for my method, texting from a flip can be a pain if you depend on SMS.
(I use google voice for my real number so I don't use SMS much)
The phone the SIM was swapped from was forever borked in the tracfone system. When I tried to put the sim back after a week it wouldn't work. Ended up with a long chat session and a BYOP sim to get it to work. It then still wouldn't show Min-Text-Mb left in the website. Always had to check it in the app afterwards.
