Howard Forums has the most Tracfone experts, and they recommend taking screenshots of your balance regularly. I have not had any problems with my family's Tracfone lines, but unfortunately if you draw the short straw, Tracfone is not known for their great CSRs.
just know that TracFone routinely zeroes out your balance.
Since the plan came with the phone, you will have a very hard time getting your plan back. They always want to see when you last BOUGHT the plan.
Tracfone nuked one of my lines doing a transfer. Subsequent calls resulted in another line getting wiped out - probably 7 calls in all with a wide range of awful behavior by the CSRs. I filed an informal complaint with the fcc with screenshots of balance and time/date of each call + timeline of all the shenanigans. After a few weeks and a couple emails, a Tracfone rep that deals with fcc complaints calls and the problems are all fixed in about 10 minutes.

Why didn't they just fix it in the first place? You're correct they just don't care about fixing the problem once it falls outside whatever script they have. Any sort of common sense/logic falls on deaf ears. Their goal isn't to help you at this point, but make you give up through whatever means possible. The best recourse IS an informal FCC complaint which is very much free and was extremely effective for me.

Tracfone CSR is so horrible it should be criminal.

A couple of weeks ago I got the Moto G Stylus Tracfone with a bundled the 1500 mins annual plan for someone: Have successfully activated. Like the phone but the included plan is almost useless.

Am interested in the A53 since the bundled plan works perfectly for their needs. Can I swap the two plane. I want to do that since I plan to wait 60 days for the A53 to unlock and then sell it. And continue using the the plan with came with the A53 on Moto G Stylus.

If yes, can this all be done online?

Do not swap SIM cards! If you activate A53 and unlock it after 60 days, you need to chat with TF to combine/transfer the service on A53 to Moto G Stylus. (It should be a simple process, but not without risk... some agents may mess up your lines/services. My success rate is about 95%. I will end chat when I suspect the agent is off or on a bad list.)

If you wait until the Moto G Stylus is unlocked, you can DIY [reddit.com] this online. Transfer service/phone # from Moto G Stylus to A53, wait 60 days for A53 to unlock, then transfer everything back to G Stylus. It will take longer, and also require you to use A53 for 2 months (if it's not a spare phone).

It appears the price is now $250. So, my guess would be this might have been a price mistake.

Comparing the a53 to the a54 shows the latter to have better features. While the plan is good, that data will be soon gone.

QVC also checks some combination of CC# and shipping address, if I recall. Although I might be think of HSN.

Just know this is usually how you have to deal with any cell phone company if you really want them to do something. Every time I've complained to the better Business bureau or FCC I usually have somebody call me back within a few hours and they get everything fixed I needed done in 5 minutes or less versus trying for days at a time

Sims are linked to phone IMEI & need to be registered correctly. Sim swapping on TF Verizon is not recommended as it can negatively affect your service.
Unlocked phones use BYOP sims for TF (only cost $1). You need to activate new phone sim keeping current number & move active line to another phone.
Thank you, this helps a lot. Though there are other posts touching on this, this point was not clear.
