T-Mobile $325 Pixel 2 & Pixel 2 XL deal

[Dismaster]

So if you open a new line with T-Mobile on your Pixel 2 the will give you a $325 Mastercard.... T-Mobile will pay back that $325 in the form of a prepaid MasterCard gift card. You can expect to receive the card within eight weeks of submitting your redemption request. So as a Sprint customer I was looking to switch to T-Mobile anyway so this seals it for me.... Wow!

That's a great deal but I don't want to open another line on T-Mo just to do this deal when there is no need for it.

Yep. That is most peoples problem with it on Reddit. They're mad that T-Mobile is leaning towards new customers (due to that being someone needing another line or maybe a new account) versus loyal customers.

Yes that is a drawback but for me it will work out great since I was going to switch anyway.

I couldn't agree more, they need to remove that new line caveat

Yeah, great deal for switchers

That's why I am leaving Sprint as the newer discounted plans are only for new customers..

Yup! This "deal" is meaningless to me.

Bummer for existing TMO customers but sounds like a great deal for @Dismaster.

Sucks it's not like last year where you didn't have to open a line. Not going to open a line and go thru all the headache.

I spent nearly all day chatting with them on Twitter. I have a grandfathered plan and it's on $10 a month for me to open a new line so I'm going to give the line to one of my family members and reap the benefits of the Mastercard eight weeks later.

Is there any set amount of time the line has to remain active? I'm considering opening a line and then deactivating it in a couple months once i get the gift card. I'd only be paying $40 for two months until i got the card.

Glad to see you joining us in Pixel land . Which configuration did you chose?

I do not know when the promotion will end but I saw that it is temporary. That's all I know at this point.

this is simple. open a new line like im going to. submit the promo for the gift card. you will pay 1-2 months of service before the card arrives then cancel the line. You still will save 300-350 after you factor in the bill.

Don't some plans lose their special pricing if you add a line?

Re: T-Mobile $325 Pixel 2 & Pixel 2 XL deal

No, most plans let you add a line for as little as 10$ or as much as $40.

I don't understand all the gripes about this. It's simply an incentive to lure new business. If you're already with them, it doesn't make sense to throw free money at you, does it?

Are u sure u can cancel and not have to have the line open for a while because if so in trying to trade in my pixel to Google to get the 350 in credit from them and then take it to t mobile and get the credit from them and like u said once I get the card cancel the line because I don't need the line

Unless there are stipulations on the fine print there shouldn't be a problem. As long as you don't have a device payment plan on a line there should be no problem adding or dropping them.
