Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ 5G tablet at Metro for $49.99. Add it as a second line with minimum $20 data plan. I'm just ordered mine few minutes ago. it was showing OOS until last night but it became available this morning. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me. don't really need it but why not at this price. Total paid $75 with $20 data plan and $4.xx taxes.

FYI - for those not aware - you'd need to have an existing Metro account to be able to purchase this tablet (or any other device as a second/additional line. Like any other Metro phones, this tablet purchase is prepaid, and so you are not locked into any kind of contract. You only need to pay for the tablet and first month of data plan. Then you are free to cancel the service, keep the tablet just as a regular wifi device. This is my first time buying a Metro tablet but I'm still hoping it will unlock after 6 months just like any other Metro phone.

Warning ? ️ - try not to go to Metro stores. They are in general scammers and will try their best to treat you like a fool and steal your money by forced up selling and forced mandatory accessories, exorbitant taxes, and insurance with or without your consent. Try ordering online. You've been warned ??????
Also, if you buy online, there's no activation fees and tax applies to the discounted price. You'll save yourself good cash and respect and a way better deal if you order online.

I think you should put not 49.99 price in the title but 69.99 as a new line of 20 bucks is required.
Saw it added to their website yesterday but it was not in stock.
Called to order through customer service but order didn't go through.

Tried again on the website and was able to order one just now.

Better than buying the Costco WI-FI only version for double the price!
Don't ask me how I know this...


You're getting that reply because your browser couldn't connect to the authentication server Metro uses.


Could be an adblocker, host file, etc. Or even your ISP could be doing it.

The simple answer is to turn off any and all adblockers, script blockers etc.

When everything is working correctly you'll see three challenge questions to authenticate your identity.

And before you say it, yes they do this even if you've already logged in with your Metro account to purchase the tablet. It seems they do the three challenge questions on every order regardless of whether you're already a customer or not.

To sum it up, you need to find what's blocking the connection to that authentication server. I found that turning off all adblocking etc, and opening an incognito tab on my phone, which had WIFI off, and connecting through my mobile network fixed this problem several times.

Good luck

It's been a while since my last Metro phone. Trying to port in a number to get a phone so I can get this deal. But after checking my number and adding to cart, it didn't change the price to $0 no matter which plan I choose. Is that zeroed out after entering personal information? Also I forget if I can just pick the $30 plan to qualify for the tablet, I think I can?

You can't use a TMo based number for phone discount -- where you porting from?

I was concerned because of my existing unlimited promo phone line with them, but I ended up calling and saying I wanted to cancel the tablet line and they gave me a freaking swwwwwweeeeeet deal with a shit ton of gb hotspot and everything unlimited on my phone line for way less than my already awesome promo price from months ago and then I'm keeping my tab line for barely anything and they said they'll switch my 2nd tab I ordered to the unlimited barely anything price as soon as I activate it. Like holy crap I may never leave Metro. Thank you, Slickdealers! I love the way everyone works together and answers my dumb questions. You guys have saved me so much money over the years!

why the secrecy?

what did they offer u ?
Quote from dealexpired :
You can always try customer service and see if they will give you any account credit/discount. I ended up with a super nice CS person yesterday who made my freaking day. Between the taxes on the original price and still having to do the $20 tablet plan, I would be theoretically be about $30 richer if I had gotten this deal vs the old deal, but the CS person gave me $$ credit on my account for no reason, a sick plan, and other benefits, so I am coming out on top and then some. Worth making a call and seeing what you can get.
ya. well without detail, kinda hard to know what to ask for/expect.

not sure what u r tyring to hide

Crap. Great deal but my order didn't go through (Call us to complete your order). The account already has one Moto G Stylus and one tablet, both ordered last week.

I should have waited. I placed my order 2 days ago. Delivery is on Friday (tomorrow).

So the discount should show right after selecting the plan and hitting next? Before I enter the personal info? I'll try another laptop.

*edit. picture is worth a thousand.

Looks like on the phone page it shows eligible for discount but goes away in cart -- maybe they're updating it so GV no longer qualifies?

Discount shows up fine in cart if I use an ATT number in there

Try $5 Visible (VZ) number instead if GV no longer works (easier if you have eSIM phone otherwise you'll need to wait for sim card in mail) -- need to search around for $20 off code

Thanks for your suggestion, but no luck. I called Metro and got a VERY helpful and patient rep. She tried to place the order for me (free tablet + $20 data line), but each time she entered my credit card info I got an alert from my cc company of a $20 hold but she said Metro system showed there was a SECURITY ISSUE with the card and the order didn't go through. We tried 3 different cards (CapOne, Chase, US Bank), all under my name and billing address, but they all failed. Metro must have put a block on my account (maybe for already ordering a phone + tablet within a week). I'll let things quiet down and try again in 2 weeks if the a9+ tablet is still free then.

hmm, it says the number is eligible for port after checking, I guess eligible for port doesn't mean it'll get the discount?

With these Metro deals, you never know. S23 FE been out of stock online for ages, people who didn't jump on it when it initially went on sale either had to deal with Metro stores or missed the deal entirely. $70 for this tab is still a solid deal, well worth it.

That's correct. If the number is on T-mo directly or indirectly, it can be ported in but won't get the discount.

I think I'll go with the Visible route then, I have the iPhone SE from the Straight Talk deal that should work. Thanks.

My $50 tablet just arrived at my door while I was on the phone with Metro CS to request a price adjustment, which was declined. Debating on keeping it or returning the unopened package to UPS and wondering if I would be refunded the full cost of the tablet and line charge and then if I would be able to reorder the tablet on the same account. Maybe not worth the hassle and risk.
