This has already been pointed out by numerous others on this thread. I'm sure that some boneheaded person will think it is a good idea to reach out to MLB.TV to verify it. DO NOT CONTACT MLB.TV. Assuming this is an error, contacting them will guarantee that it gets fixed and ruin it for everyone here who got a 2023 subscription.

It's not available until 3/26. You should be able to see the announcment in the T-Life app by scrolling down to and tapping on "What's new" on the Home tab.

It's a bit silly that this thread is front page news a month ahead of the offer's availability.

I mentioned that for one of the 2 iphones that has T Mobile, the person claimed the code incorrectly because that person after opening T Life and redeem and then downloaded the mlb app but did not create an account on the phone. It showed a message of code redeemed if you click on the redeem on the app. I then asked that person to delete mlb app even though they didn't create an mlb account and then click on redeem and if that code will show up in the url and that person said same message of code redeemed.


I then gave that person a throwaway email address and to use that as an email when downloading the mlb app on the iphone. That person did that and used the email as username and created a password and was logged in the mlb app on their iphone. That person then gave me the password to the account. That person then logged out of the mlb app on the iphone. I then went on my laptop and logged into mlb account with the throwaway email and password and was logged in. I then noticed that when you check the account settings, there is no mlb tv subscription at all. I had thought if that person clicked on redeem again on the iphone and download mlb app, then it would be applied but it didn't.


My question now is, can that person still log into the mlb app on their iphone and apply the code somehow? They thing is I have no clue where the code is but several people said it would be on the apple id account for the iphone. So where would you find this code on the iphone? Can that person still apply the code to that mlb account now or it doesn't work anymore? The thing is when that person created the mlb account, I had thought since it was on that iphone, well the code would be applied without you doing it manually. I did mention that person did not get an mlb tv code because that person had downloaded the mlb app after clicking redeem. So my question is can that person still get mlb tv on that account or not? The thing is the message was the code was already redeemed so is that good or bad? If it was redeemed, well it's somewhere in the apple id right? But if it wasn't redeemed, wouldn't that be not good since you can't redeem it anymore?

Ok so I'll chime in here again, even though it's outside my experience since I ran across another bit of info that might be helpful. Hopefully others still reply if they have more direct experience with it. Anyway, it sounds like the MLB subscription essentially got cross-linked to your friend's Apple / iOS account rather than directly to an MLB account. That's obviously more complicated than the typical non-Apple subscription, but I think you were on the right track with trying to link it to your MLB account with him logging in to it, but maybe just didn't quite get far enough, as the link doesn't happen automatically when you login. Anyway, I found the procedure below describing how to make that connection from the MLB app while logged into an Apple account with the appropriate subscription (at least it looks to me like that's what it's for). You may want to have your friend try completing that process to see if it makes that MLB subscription transfer successfully. Then hopefully, the subscription would be linked to your MLB login so that you could use it. This was pulled from the MLB site in reference to subscriptions through an Apple device.

Accessing your Apple App Store In-App Purchase on other Supported Devices
A major benefit of connecting your Apple App Store purchase to an MLB account is being able to access the purchase across your compatible Apple and Android devices. You will also have access to At Bat on the web. Connecting a purchase to an MLB account also allows Customer Service to better assist you with inquiries and troubleshooting. You will have an opportunity to connect your purchase to an MLB account after making the purchase, or it can be completed at a later time. You can only connect an Apple App Store purchase to one MLB account. If you connect the purchase to a second MLB account, the first account will lose all entitlements.
1. Open the MLB app
2. Tap on the "Browse" icon in the top right of your home tab
3. Scroll down until you see "Account Settings" and tap on it
4. Tap on "Connect Purchase to MLB" and log in with your registered MLB account email and password or register for a new account


Here's the source link where the above process was pulled from …

The thing is when that person was logged into the mlb account that they created on their iphone, I had thought the mlb code would been automatically applied to the account somehow. So when that person gave me the password to the mlb account... the username is a gmail throwaway account I created to give that person to use as the username, I had thought the account was good. Then when that person signed out of the mlb account on the mlb app on their iphone, I then logged into that mlb account on my laptop.


I then noticed there was no mlb tv subscription since it showed I wasn't subscribed to anything. The thing is you are telling me to have that person do those steps on their iphone and it should work? Or it might or might not work? Can I test what you are asking on my laptop? I recall going to account settings earlier when I was logged into the account and when going to many settings, that was when I noticed I didn't have the mlb subscription activated.


Can others here who had a similar issue tell me if that is what should be done on that iphone? The thing is when they clicked on redeem from the T Mobile App, it said the code was redeemed. So that means it isn't expired right? This is what has me very confused here. Most people who claim the mlb tv from T Mobile on their iphone, are they following the exact instructions like on the T Mobile app? If so, what percentage of iphone users have this issue? I mean if you followed the instructions, you click redeem and download mlb app. Then create an account and by default, the mlb tv subscription isn't automatically applied correct? So the correct way to do this without needing the code for trade but just wanting it for yourself would been downloaded and created mlb app already before going to the T Mobile App and clicking redeem right? The thing is what I described, very few people if any seem to have this issue? I got to assume it's because you suppose to have an mlb app downloaded and account created already before redeem? Also people say it's more complicated with ios compared to android. That is only when wanting the code to show up correct and not this process of just claiming it for oneself?

My guess is that isn't an issue for most Apple users who are actually wanting to use the code to watch MLB themselves because as long as they're logged into their Apple account, the subscription gets linked there and they can view the content without doing anything further. Even though the subscription is linked to their Apple acccount, the MLB account communicates with it and all is good. The reason you're having the issue is because you want to bypass the regular Apple way of doing things and acces the account outside of his Apple account. Again, that appears to be exacly what that procedure mentioned above is designed to do (as best I can tell). Essentially, transfer the subscription from his Apple account directly to the MLB account instead. No, I can't say it will work with certainty, but I'd say that it has a good chance, based on what we know so far. But no, there's no way for you to experiment and test the theory because you don't have an Apple account with the relevant linked subscription. Only he has access to that as a part of his Apple account. There's a lot of working with some assumptions here, but that's probably about the best you can do. It would be great if someone jumps in who has had that specific experience, but I just haven't seen it really delved into much, despite years of watching these threads.

After that person created an mlb account on their iphone and when they were logged in, if they went to account settings and checked the settings, isn't it going to show exactly what I saw though? That you aren't subscribed to mlb tv? I mean that person created an mlb account on the mlb app and then signed out. Then I signed in a bit later on a laptop with the email and password. So basically this issue occurred with them because they clicked redeem on the T Mobile App before downloading the mlb app and having an account created right? If so, then that makes sense. So the people who have an iphone that didn't have this issue is because they already had mlb account created on mlb app and was logged in and then clicked redeem?


Well I mean for me to test it on the laptop, I mean to just go to account settings and check if there is an option that even says Connect Purchase to MLB. The thing is I don't have that person's iphone so no access to their iphone or mlb subscription. So just have that person log into the mlb account on the mlb app on the iphone, then have that person click Connect Purchase to MLB while already logged into account and that might work correct?



The thing is what that person did, I'm sure lot of people did that? I mean I can imagine lot of people went to click redeem before downloading the mlb app and creating an account right and thus were logged in? Thus if you do that, then this issue will be like this?

No … if you just click the redeem link without the MLB app installed, it's no problem and many have done that to retrieve their code. However, at some point after redeeming and downloading the MLB app, I believe there is a prompt that pops up and asks if you want to link the MLB subscription to your Apple account. Basically, the MLB app sees that they're on an Apple device and they communicate, as Apple can essentially manage third-partysubscriptions like that. (The prompt about linking the subscription to the Apple account is something that I vaguely recall from my experiments with it last year. It came to mind after another user in this thread mentioned the possible Apple account link a few days ago.)

No, I doubt that you would see the "Connect purchase to MLB" option on anything other than an iPhone with a linked MLB subscription. That's a very specific procedure meant for Apple devices and I can't imagine any reason why the option would even appear on a laptop.

But yes, I would have them click "Connect purchase to MLB" and log into the MLB app on their phone using your MLB account info, which would hopefully then transfer the subscription to your MLB account rather than their Apple account.

Okay. The thing is when that person created an mlb account on the iphone, I am pretty certain there wasn't a prompt that ask if you want to link the mlb subscription to the apple account. I should ask that person if it showed that when they were logged into mlb app on the iphone? I am sure it wasn't because the other person would have told me that. The thing is that person had deleted the mlb app after redeeming code and then clicked redeem code again which prompt to download the mlb app and then they did that and created an mlb account.


So if that is what they did, then is it normal for this to occur where it isn't linked or asked to be linked?


Okay that makes sense the Connect Purchase to MLB option wouldn't show up on anything but that iphone. I had thought it would always show up if you log into that mlb account with a laptop or anything. Okay so there is no message of Connect Purchase to MLB, then what? Now has anyone else had this issue which I described? There is very little discussion about this which has me surprised because that person followed the instructions and isn't everyone going to follow the exact T Mobile instructions unless they wanted the code only for trade?

I'm not sure that it always asks about attaching the subscription to the Apple account. I have my iPhone set up with fairly strict settings where I require it to "ask permission" for basically anything where it wants to make outside connections. But I'm not sure if that may happen automatically for some users, depending on their settings. Or it could be one of those things where clicking the default answer becomes almost automatic and some users may not even notice that prompt. So it's probably kind of pointless to ask him unless he happens to remember it. Basically, that would seem to be the most logical explanation of why his code shows as "redeemed". The subscription is attached to his Apple ID. That makes sense to me in a lot of ways … it would explain practically everything that you're running into. So that's why I would have him try it. Sure it may not work, but it's really the only potential solution that I can see here and there are zero downsides to giving it a shot, as it's really the only thing that makes sense. The only other possible next logical step that comes to mind would be "give up" (which might actually make more sense Smilie )



And you keep wondering why other iPhone users aren't having the issue, but you're attempting to do something completely different than what they would normally be doing. You're trying to use it separate from the Apple ID that it was set up with. That Apple ID is kind of like a digital wallet and it can be linked to many things, including subscriptions from third-party apps. That's what I think is going on here. The reason other Apple users don't have any problems with it is that they're always logged into their Apple ID and so the subscription automatically follows them when they use the app on their iPhone, iPad, etc. They simply don't run into the issues that you're seeing because that Apple account link is always there for them. The MLB app recognizes them based on their Apple ID connection and it works fine. You're running into problems because you're trying to use it in a completely different way without that linked account and you haven't gone through the process to break that link to the Apple ID yet. This is not something that the average Apple user would run into with their typical use. Also, there have been a lot of warnings about avoiding iPhones as much as possible for the activation in these threads, so anyone who activated on a regular computer first wouldn't be seeing the same issue with it being linked to an Apple account because the main MLB account link would have been set as the default right out of the gate. .

I am not sure if that iphone has strict settings or not. For my iphone which has nothing to do with all this, I don't know. But I know for my iphone, I could download apps without any issue. But say if I want to add or delete my passcode for my iphone, it would ask for my apple id password. But then again, that is normal right? When I download apps on my iphone, which again has nothing to do with this, it would download the app.


What am I attempting to do that is completely different than what most people are doing? I had that person try to claim the code but they did it incorrectly. So then they deleted the mlb app. Then downloaded the mlb app again. Then went and created an mlb account. Do you mean the normal way a person who would claim the code would already has the mlb app downloaded and already logged into the mlb account before clicking the redeem? So if they did it that way, then it would be linked? If that is what you mean by that, then I get it. If not, I am confused what you mean by this because I no longer want the code anymore, I just want it activated.


How do you know if you are always logged into their apple id? How do I check that for my iphone before I ask for that iphone? I would think that iphone is linked to apple id for some reason. Yes I heard people say avoid using iphone to activate the mlb tv. However... then how would someone with an iphone even activate it or get the code then if they don't have a spare android device? I heard someone mention use a laptop or ipad which we have access to but how would you even do that? You would log into your tmobile account on the laptop or the ipad? That would be the email and password associated with tmobile? I don't have tmobile so I have no clue about this part. Also tons of people have iphone so can't imagine the regular iphone user checking t mobile app and notice free mlb tv and then they go... okay I am going to claim this on a laptop or ipad because there will be issues claiming it on an iphone... like almost no regular iphone user would ever know or think of that unless they read online right? Wait, most people activate it on a laptop as oppose to their iphone/android device? I would find this very rare I figure if there is a t mobile app and there is offer there, it would seem obvious you claim it there and most people do that?
