Re: Question about QVC Tracfone minutes

@Hedge, which is why (imo) it wouldn't make sense for a person to purchase that type of card if they don't have triple minutes. It would be better to purchase a smartphone only plan. I have two tracfones, one that is triple minutes and a newer phone that is not. Let's look at the breakdown in prices.

 

On the website I can purchase the 200 minute card you're talking about for $39.99. Using it on my triple minutes phone I get a total of 600 minutes talk time--600texts--600 MB data with 90 days of service. 

 

For my non-3x phone I can purchase a plan for $45 that includes 750 minutes of talk time--1000 texts-1.5 GB of data with 90 days of service.

 

My point was that by going on the website, which is what the OP was asking about, you can just as good a deal whether your have a triple minutes phone or not.

 

In this case it's actually less expensive for the newer phone. For only 5 dollars extra I would get 150 more minutes talk time, 400 more texts, and an extra 900 MB data than what I would get with the 200 (x3) minute card for my triple minutes phone.

Re: Question about QVC Tracfone minutes

HSN has a tracfone with 1500 minutes for $59.95.  I believe you can just transfer those minutes to your old phone if you do not want to change phones.

Re: Question about QVC Tracfone minutes

@depglass  If you purchased your tracfone when it had triple minutes, you should always have triple minutes.  Just go to Tracfone dot com and log in, give them the info for your phone then you should receive the triple minutes.
