How To Get Free EXCLUSIVE Tracfone Minutes Without Buying A Card
They always 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!).
how to get free tracfone minutes without buying a card
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
Had a 90 day service card with 60 minutes to add to a double-minute lifetime phone. Code 12745 added the 90 days service, and 180 minutes. GREAT!!!!! That's why I've had Tracfone for years! THANKS TRACFONE.
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!
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.
AWESOME!! code 12745 worked on 10/13/15 for a triple phone plan on a 60 min card - my phone airtime had expired timewise so when i entered the info i waited for it to reset. sure enough, i got 240 mins! 60*3(triple minutes) + the 60 bonus from the card for 240 extra minutes. Best code yet - and wasn't even on preprepaid.com where I used to go looking for a good code. you rock!
All 3 codes for 400 minutes card (October) don't work.when tried to use these code from tracfone.com it says the code is not valid for android phone (but mine is NOT android phone).when tried to use these code from the IOS app, it simply says invalid promocode.also tried 12745 for 60 minutes, doesn't work either.
Tried 99619 for the 120 minute card for the LG236C phone (flip phone). It does not work to add 365 days of service time.Tried the code to add 140 extra minutes (forgot what it was) but that worked so I have 260 minutes with the 120 day card. BUT, I have a double minutes for life phone so it should have given me 120 x 2 = 240 + 140 = 380. But it didn't :(So, just to let you know, DON'T use code that says you will get an extra 140 minutes if you have a double minutes phone, basically you are shorting yourself 10-40 minutes when you could have used a different code to get 30 bonus minutes or 60 bonus minutes.I am going to send a message to TRACFONE to see if I can get my extra minutes.
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
1/7/2016 Just used 79679 code for 60 bonus minutes with a 450 minute card on a very old Nokia Tracfone and it worked!! I have had a double minutes on this phone for years but the bonus minutes did not double. I'll take any bonus minutes I can get!! 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!
The easiest way to get free airtime codes is when you first sign up for your new phone because there are many TracFone promotions available. Not all special offers are reserved for new customers though. You can find codes for bonus minutes online. The codes do require that you purchase minutes to get free minutes so you will still need to spend some money.
Another way to get a code is to set up an account on TracFone.com. You can enter an email address to receive promotions, including codes for free minutes. These offers provide mailing list members with great deals and savings.
Some websites may require you to purchase and activate a new phone, but the additional minutes are free. Others attach bonus minutes to your purchase of airtime minutes for your phone. If you are using a code you found online, be sure to check the dates the codes were posted since codes do expire.
Many codes are listed on this site including offers such as get 60 minutes free with the purchase 60 or 120 minutes. There are also discounts on cards for data, such as $15 for 500 MB. If you're looking to buy a phone bundled with minutes, there are promo codes for that as well.
Coupon Box offers free airtime codes that are paired with the purchase of minutes. For example, you can get 30 minutes free if you purchase 120 minutes. New codes are updated often, and you can also see types of codes that have been offered that are now expired. If you sign up for their newsletter, you can get notices when new codes are added.
Discounts for both phone purchases and minutes are available on Coupon Chief. An example of a coupon code is 20 free minutes if you purchase a 60-minute card, or 30 minutes for free. Users of the site can also upload codes they have found for others to use.
TracFone Reviewer lists updated codes monthly. Like other sites, the codes are for the purchase of minutes plus a certain number of free minutes. The codes are compiled in a simple list, which makes them easy to find.
You will either need to visit the TracFone website to enter your codes or add them directly into your TracFone. The danger of adding codes directly to your phone is if the code is invalid, you may end up having purchased minutes without a free benefit. Another issue is the codes are not always safe to use, so the best way to add them is via the website. 041b061a72
