I got this promotion 2 days ago, I had to call 5 different stores around my area, all them were charging $400 - $500 price out of the door. Only on one I was able to get $300. They asked me for my ID and I had to verify myself with a selfie scanner, just like the website. FYI

Additional line in my account is now asking to be on the $55 plan to get the phone discounted to $99. The $35 plan doesn't work and it bumps up the price.

This deal always required the $55 tier plan or above. Says so in the op.

Additional lines on family plan are automatically discounted. Per the $55 tier plan page on Metro:

Monthly Price

1 line $55
2 lines $85
3 lines $115
4 lines $125

This monthly price is not an introductory rate and does not require a yearly contract.
Does not include AutoPay or other discounts.

1) Your port number doesn't qualify. Get a new port number
2) You tried to order with a qualifying number before but didn't complete the order, so Metro has it in the ordering system. Wait a day for Metro to delete your previous incomplete order before trying again.

Same here. What does everyone think Apple trade in value might be after the 17e is released?

Deal is still active. I have 2 more 1 left porting numbers for AGC; tested and Metro shows $500 off in cart. PM me.

If you want to get port in numbers yourself, I posted instructions here.

I ordered 2nd phone successfully. When I tried to order 3rd phone it says You're not eligible to add a new line. Has anyone run across this ?
