How do I get the BoA option? I don't wanna do it unless I get that $50 off. And does it do it for just a boa check/debit card? Cause that works like a credit card.
CC or debit will work. You just have to be signed up for online banking (e.g. have an online banking access). Assuming you use online banking, go to additup.bankofamerica.com and click the sign-in button. It will ask you to a couple of questions and then show you the card(s) that are qualified (make note of this). Then do a search for Wirefly in their vendor list and look for the $50 for new line, upgrade, add lines promo. Click that (they have another Android promo, but I didn't try that). It will then take you to the Wirefly website. Follow the flow for upgrades and make sure at check-out the $50 BOA credit is listed. Place your order and use the card you noted above to pay. You should get a BOA/Wirefly confirmation email. Read the notes on the BOA additup website on how the cashback works. BOA has an interface which will show the cashback in process. Wirefly is still not showing up, but I'm assuming it will take a few days, though the $199 for the phone has already been charged.
The $50 discount and is worth a few days wait to me and my wife has been without a phone for 1.5 months now so we can wait a few more days. I orderd last night at around 9PM. Still waiting for Tmobile to approve the phone and hopefully it will ship today. It says 2-7 day delivery via FedEx free ship.
I called Tmobile yesterday to confirm that I can keep my existing plans so long as I didn't select a new plan during the upgrade. The rep put it into my account notes, so I have something I can refer back to incase of trouble. I did this last time too, but that was because Wirefly didn't have the upgrade interface it has now (I was only doing 1 upgrade of a 2 line family plan). The new interface allows you to pick the primary or any of the secondary lines and allows options to keep your existing plans (grandfathered unlimited data and 400 text) and numbers.
Note: Wirefly is offering the $30 unlimited data with 5GB at 4G speeds. I currently only have the 2GB unlimited, but I would stay away from making any changes and stick to your current plan. You can always talk to Tmobile (loyalty team) and see if they can match it. If you do the reverse and chance it with Tmo later, the ETF for discounted phones with Wirefly might trigger.

Update 2PM: I got my shipping confirmation. Fedex 2 day shipping (I picked standard) to CA (from MD). So it will be here on Friday
Still nothing on the additup website concerning the cashback, but the fine print says up to 30 days to appear as pending after purchase.
