TracFones

Kachina624 — Thu, 09 Apr 2020 19:55:55 GMT

It's time for my annual renewal for service for the next year. I was surprised to learn that the 365 day deal is now $125., quite a change from the $49. deal we've had in the past. Has anyone discovered a cheaper way around this? Has anyone used the minutes from a cheap phone on their current existing phone? There's got to be a better way.

There are several Samsung tracfones from $49 up on QVC that include the one year of service. Have you looked at them?

Try putting a card with minutes in your cart. Then, you'll see an offer to add other items on, including 365 days for $49.99. Add that to your cart. You should be able to delete the minutes card at check out and complete the purchase of the year's service.

Add a minutes card to the cart & that will allow you to see the 1yr, no minutes $49.99 add on. The site has changed so it was a little harder to find. I have lots of minutes so I always buy the cheapest card & the 1yr add on for my old flip phone. Good Luck.

I put a $5 text purchase in my cart, add the $49 year add on and depending on my need either delete the $5 text purchase or follow thru with year and text.

@kitcat51 @cantdrive55 Yes, they've changed their site. It's a lot more complex. I tried adding a minutes card to my cart but never got the $49.99 offer. I'd buy the cheap new phone if I knew I could use it's minutes/service on my current phone.... don't want to change phones.

Once you add the minutes card to your cart, scan down & you'll see the add on options...the $49.99 offer doesn't pop up, you'll have to look for it in the cart. Find it?

@kitcat51 Thanks, I finally got it, although I couldn't tell you how or duplicate the process. Now I'm good for another year. Thanks all for your help.

You're welcome...it really is a great way to save money. I'm glad I saw your thread because I forgot my service ends in a week so I renewed too. Be well.

I renew my tracfone every year around November or December, even though my year is up in May. I always find discount codes for $50 off that $125 price. It's not as cheap as your $49, but it's the cheapest I could find.

I just search for tracfone coupon codes.

They make it hard on purpose.

Every now and then I update by getting a new phone if I can get a good deal. If I just want to extend my yearly service, I shop with sellers on ebay. Bargains there for sure. Not sure how they can resale that and still make a profit. Hmmmm.
