Theyalways work ... you just have to be patient. I buy online cards the normal way and type in a promo code. The next screen will tell you if it's an error. Just back up and try another one. As other posters have commented I too cancel the whole thing and go back to start if 2 fail in a row. But seriously these last few months one of the first 2 have always worked. It's usually the lowest minutes (but hey it's still 40 free minutes!).
Not really. For $19.99, you can add 90 service days but it adds 60 minutes which is not too much. This is the least option available that has a better value than just 30 service days at $9.99. The least amount for an additional year of service days (365) is $99.99 but it adds 400 minutes. It is cheaper at $81.07 (4 times $19.99) to buy four quanities of 90 service days to get a year's worth of service days but adds only 240 minutes. That's what I would do if I wanted to add more time but not so many extra minutes.
I also use my phone mainly for emergencies but have been using it more to get better use of my money and I have the opposite problem. I have lots of service days but need more minutes. Fortunately I purchased a double minute plan a long time ago so minutes are doubled and I look for bonus codes to add extra minutes. Hope this helps!
Current TF policy, which has been in force for at least 1 yr 9 months, is to not allow bonus unit on smart phones, including Androids. Instead, for your 60 unit card, you get 60 units for voice, 60 for text, and 60 for data -- each tripled. So each category of use has 180 units. There should be a section in your TF Android user booklet that tells how that works -- and how your usage is charged against your units. Well worth a few minutes to read. You should also be able to get this info online at TracFone.com, in the "Getting started". The manual for the phone is online, along with tutorials for the specific phone. An improvement over earlier years!
I used code 12745, I have triple minutes so 60 becomes 180+60 extra, making it 240. The thing is, it says now that I have 975 service days. I did not buy some magical 2 & 2/3 year service card. Idk why it happened, I noticed it said when I was buying that it said I had service until 2018 but thought nothing of it. Maybe tracfone made some change? I'm not reporting it to them, screw that lol
Have triple minute phone. Today 10/6/2015 I added a 200 min card (with a Hawaii number) and used the code 12745 - was trying it on the tracfone site that you recommended "tests" codes to see if they are still in effect and allow you to try another one if the first doesn't work.
thanks!
Maybe the feature on that site just wasn't working on that day. It worked in Sept. for me and now it's Oct. and I just tried the same code I used in Sept. I know it's working, because in Sep .15 I tried a code that did not work that was supposed to add a huge amount of free time; it had expired. I was able to use another code that added 60 min. (in addition to my lifetime triple minute phone.)
Promo codes for a 1 year/ 400 minute card will not work on a 450 minute card. So don't get your hopes up with a bunch of bonus minutes with a 450 minute card. You will probably only be able to get a maximum of 60 bonus minutes with the purchase of a 450 minute card. This website should reorder these two cards so that people don't get disappointed trying to get 250 or even 300 extra minutes. Also note that the promo code 99619 to get 365 service days with a 120 minute card only works with the 120 minute card. I ended up using the promo code 79679 for my 450 minute card and I can confirm that it gave me 60 minutes on October 5th.
Just used Promo code 12745 on my 60 min card and it worked! I tried adding my minutes thru the website but the website screwed up my account by deleting my phone from it and wouldn't allow me to add it using the serial number. Anyhoo, tech support ended up taking my phone card pin number and the promo code and it worked! Use this website whenever I need to add minutes so I can trust the promo code will work. Linda
FYI on the Tracfone website, you can sign up for a 30 day extension for $5.99 if you still have a lot of minutes but the service date is up. It only bills you IF you need to use it. It saves you from having your phone deactivated.
Hi, I am hard-of-hearing, and it would be great if the volume of the phone was mentioned. Some phones are too soft for me. I'm intereted in the volume of the RINGER and the in-call volume as well. I'm NOT the only person losing my hearing, there are more than 2 million of us.
I bought 60 minutes on the web, supersized adding another 30 minutess for $5 bringing my total to just under $26. I have a tripple minute phone. With the 127 minutes I already had on the phone, it only showed 217 minutes after the purchas. I also forgot to use the promo code 12745. after over 30 minutes of waiting for a chaT agent to pick up, I started chat again and got an agent right away. he took forever updateing my account. But all in all I ended up with 487 minutes. I got 90 minutes for promo code 12745 by haveing the chat agent enter it
If you use a promo code on the Trackfone web site and it does not work or you forgot to enter the code, don't worry, Tracfone chat will make it right. Just give them the code and they will add the promo minutes. Should be done on the same day you bought the minutes.
There was a code to get $20 off a android phone that we used in December 2015. We like the phone so much we want to get another one. Anyone aware of the promo code to get $20 of the purchase of the phone? Thanks
Today is Jan 9, 2016. Like some of the other commenters I have been using your promo codes now for several years, and while sometimes a 60 minute code will be expired there is -always- something that works.
Personally, I find that a 120 minute card (X triple minutes) and a 30 or greater promo code works out the cheapest.
There was an earlier comment about a promo code for an android purchase that did not work for an additional phone, readers should be aware that many of these codes are only good for one use per account. So if you have 3 phones a promo code will probably only work for the first phone. If the code is still valid and you try to use it again on the same phone it usually does not work a second time either. Fortunately there are enough other codes here where it is not a problem unless it is one of the big bargain codes. Also please note that other than the purchase one, far as I know android phones do not accept promo codes in addition to the 3 "buckets" you get where calls, texts, and data are separate. (this is why I am planning on using my Samsung S390 for a while longer).
I do have a question for the people who run this site though- Is there a way you get credit from tracfone if I make a purchase? Do you have a direct link, or does it not really matter to you guys? As I mentioned I have used your site for a few years now and not only would I like to help you back in return but want to make sure you are around for a long while, LOL!
Thanks again!
Code 12745 for 60 bonus minutes worked on my tripe-minutes-for-life phone with a 60 minutes/90 day refill card. Rec'd a total of 240 minutes. Has worked every time for me since I found you guys last year. I'm retired and don't typically use a lot of minutes (still have a land line because of lousy cell coverage at my home regardless of carrier/network) so this is a very economical way for me to still have a cell phone for when I'm away from the house. You guys are awesome! Thanks and Happy New Year!!
I added minutes on 5/10/ 2016 and used a promo code that I got in a text from tracfone for 150 free minutes and got just 30 minutes . I seem to always get cheated by this company . Tried to use another promo code that I found on line but that failed as well . Donald
I purchase TracFone minutes for my wife, my daughter, and myself. When my daughter was graduating from college and looking for employment she was running out of minutes so we got her a new, triple minutes TracFone. That, along with the bonus minutes from promo codes found here, keep her in business. Thanks much!
I find that purchasing 90 days at a time, with triple and bonus minutes, is cheaper than buying one year at a time for the amount of minutes we use.
12745 has worked every time on three phones for several months now, giving us an extra hour of talk time on the 60 minute card (240 minutes total). Thanks much!
Just a quickie update -today is May 19th 2016 and the 99619 code is NOT working any longer. I also couldn't get the 58478 to work for my LG. I had better luck with 12745 and it bumped my 120mins to 420mins. Which makes no sense to me. It just sorta gifted me an extra 300mins. I'm very grateful and wanted to pass on the good news on 12745
