Sale at Tracfone today!

I use the 'auto-refill' for my Tracfone so I don't have to watch the balance each month.
Sometimes, I need to add data because my plan doesn't include much of that.
I usually just pick up a data card which adds 1GB for $10 (cheaper than to upgrade my plan.

I bought a $10 card at Meijer today and when I got home I checked my balance before adding the card...which I always do. I had 3GB left...so I added the card, figuring it would raise it to 4GB.
Ten minutes later I got an email that it was added. I checked my balance and it said I now have 6GB of data!
The $10 card purchase also upped my rewards points to 1250, so I decided to cash 1000 of them in for another 1GB of data....thinking I might get me another 3GB.

Sure enough, just checked and I now have 9GB of data.....all for $10

I might have to buy another 1GB card tomorrow and find out if the sale is still on...

I have the Tracfone deal. I get all the data I can use and unlimited talk/text at $209 for the year. I could maybe do it the way you do but I dont want to have to keep up with use and balances.

I never have to fear for losing my balance....the plan I have covers that.
If I run out of data...it just means I used more than my plan adds.

The old way that Tracfone was.....if you ran out, your talk, text, and data all disappeared. Mine doesn't.
My three month payment is $26

It's funny that it worked for both the card I bought and the Tracfone website for the rewards points that I redeemed.

Must be a glitch in their computer.

Back in the day, my talk ran out and I had to figure out what was wrong. That is why I went to the yearly thing. I have friends paying $150/month.

^^^ I know a guy who replaced his older Apple phone and it cost him $900

Last month, I decided to replace my 3 year old Moto 6 phone and ended up with a Moto G Play for $49

The Moto Play has a much better battery and twice the memory of my old one.
It'll do everything my laptop will do...plus make/take calls.

Not sure how long Ive had my Moto 5g but I get 3 days out of the battery. Only thing I dont like is the size. Its a bit bigger than I'd like it to be. Way cheaper than the Apple phones.

^^^ 3 days is excellent.
My Moto 6 (or maybe it was 7) would hardly go over a day. I replaced the battery and it wasn't much better. This new one...the Play, goes almost 3 days.
