Got this in my e-mail today. Go to tracfone.com and use code 59152

Offer expires 6/30/05

Edit:

This deal is winding down, you'll need to pull the trigger soon.

By using the methods described in this thread, you can get up to 350 minutes YMMV. Thanks to those who figured that out.

Go thru Ebates and earn 4 % on your purchase

Good for 250 minutes and 1 year of service.

slappy - not sure about nyc...it varies depending on location, i think it's sprint in the philly area

new techkie - not sure why it won't work for you, maybe it's specially linked to the e-mail i received?

Quantity Each Card Total Price

1 $89.99 $89.99

Totals 1 $89.99

Promotional Discount - $40.00

Total (pre-tax) $49.99


Just tried it, it's working for me...make sure you enter the ESN code for the phone, then click continue. The updated price should show on the next screen.

it was a bit confusing, but a good deal, although you didn't mention sales tax which sucks

the timing was great, mine needed this in two weeks anyway, so thanks

I love the Tracfone concept, and their wide coverage, but I hate buying minutes and having the website screw up applying the minutes and being told there's nothing they can do at their end. I hate getting coupons for bonus minutes that they later won't honor because they decided to sell minutes in some different configuration. I hate their horrible call center where I can hardly understand anything that the CSR is telling me over the background noise.

This was all Summer of '04. Have things gotten better? I might give them a try again as the only thing I hate worse than Tracfone is all the other cell phone companies.

Sorry, where do you enter the ESN code? Did not see it on the web page.

Did you select the phone with 1 year card?

Can somebody give me a link? What is the zip code that you use? Thank you!

Most likely cingular - at least in Jersey City it is.

Nice deal!
The web site seems to be stalling. It took 4 trys to complete purchase.

We're sorry, we cannot process your transaction at this time. Please try again later.

direct link to the page to enter the code is https://www.tracfone.com/purchase_airtime.jsp?task=buyairtime&fromPopup=true

This deal only works if you already have a Tracfone phone. You are only buying the minutes, not the phone + the minutes.

Great deal OP! Question, can I buy this airtime now and add the minutes to the phone at a later date? I want to buy this for a relative who lives in another state that I will see next month. I know they will want me to add the minutes to the phone at that time...Thanks!

I'm not sure. I have 2 tracfones that will expire in September or so. I'm hoping the same thing. Maybe others that already pulled the trigger can chime in.

Thanks OP, this'll go great with the $19.50 clearance Tracfones from Staples!

I know that the last time I ordered a one year (double minute) pre-paid card, they just sent a code via email, rather than a physical card in the mail. I don't remeber if it had an expiration date though. Sorry.
