TracFone can be an easy and non-committal way to own a cell phone. However, it can be quite costly at the same time. Promotional Codes (also called Promo Codes) can be used to get FREE minutes!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • TracFone
  • Internet access
  1. Step 1
    Double Minutes TracFone Card

    Double Minutes Card:

    My first recommendation before we even get into Promotional Codes, is to purchase TracFone's "Double Minutes Card". Every time you add minutes, it doubles them! This excludes bonus minutes, including minutes from Promo Codes; however, it is a small investment into a huge money saver.

  2. Step 2

    Always add minutes online:

    Always add minutes online for two reasons:
    1) There are packages that are only available online
    2) If you enter your Promotional Code incorrectly, you will have a second chance.
    Add minutes at the TracFone official website (see Resources at the bottom of the page).

  3. Step 3

    Check the TracFone official website:

    From their main page, click on the "Activate Phone, Add or Buy Airtime" button to the right. They usually have 3 Promo Codes that circulate in the center frame.

  4. Step 4

    Sign up for a free TracFone account:

    On the official website, there is an option to sign up for their free account. With this account, they will send you free Promotional Codes in the mail every month, as well as for special occasions like your birthday!

  5. Step 5

    Search third-party websites:

    Third-party websites that specialize in online coupons and codes as well as blogs will keep a listing of reported Promo Codes. Usually these websites are kept up to date.

    Warning: If you use a promo code from a third-party website, always enter it online! These codes are not always kept up to date or work. If you enter the code from your phone, you will NOT get a second chance. Entering them from the website WILL give you a second chance!

Tips & Warnings
  • Always search for Promotional Codes. It's an easy way to get free minutes
  • Always add airtime and enter Promotional Codes online. This will give you a second chance if you entered the code incorrectly, or if it does not work.
