A TracFone Promo Code Tip That I Often Forget

Something to remember about TracFone promo codes, though I often forget this myself, is that a code for a smaller card will normally work on a larger card.

Why does this matter?  Because codes for smaller cards sometimes give more free airtime minutes than do codes for larger cards.

For example, let's say Joe Frugal wants to add a 120 minute card to his TracFone. He could use 52713 - 30 bonus minutes on a 120 minute card, or he could use 14938 - 60 free minutes on a 60 minute card.

Joe gets out his calculator and figures out that 60 is more than 30, and being the frugal money saver that he is, Joe decides to use 14938 when adding the airtime to his phone.

Nothing ever seems absolute with TracFone promo codes, so I'll hasten to say that you can normally only use a promo code once per phone, and it's not guaranteed that a code will work on a larger card.  This tip should, however, work most of the time so it's definitely worth a try.

Here are some new bonus codes for this week:

44828 - 200 bonus minutes on a 400 minute one-year card - Expires May 26, 2009

45639 - 30 bonus minutes on a 120 minute card - Expires May 26, 2009

90091 - 20 bonus minutes on a 200 minute card - Expires May 26, 2009

28625 - 40 bonus minutes on a 120 minute card - Unknown Expiration

Also, the TracFone website is still offering the standard DMFL card for $24.99 (reg. $49.99), and the 1-year 800 minute DMFL card for $124.99 (reg. $134.99). I'm starting to think that this may become the permanent price for these cards, but I can't say for sure.

You don't need a promo code to get those prices, but try using 51540 to get 50 free minutes with the standard DMFL card or using 51578 to get 200 free minutes on the 1-year DMFL card.

(Keep reading for my full current TracFone promotional code list)

The TracFone website is still running the special offer where you get free ground shipping any phone or phone/artime bundle of $19.99 or greater. No promo code necessary.

The free shipping still works if you use TracFone coupon code 23444 ($3 off any phone order or phone/airtime bundle order) on a $19.99 phone such as the Motorola W370 phone/airtime bundle. The airtime card can be added to any phone, so you can order this bundle and use the promo code to essentially get $3 off a 60 minute card. And you get a free phone too!

You can click here to go to the TracFone website to buy your airtime or phone (or redeem a TracFone airtime card you've already bought) and use your promo code.

If you want to get an email reminder whenever I update my TracFone promo code list, you can sign up on my TracFone Promo Code Newsletter page. It's quick, easy, and secure. Plus, it's a nice little reminder to use a promo code whenever you add airtime!

I have a full page of tips and tricks for using TracFone promotional codes, but here's a quick list of things to keep in mind:

• Always add your airtime on the TracFone website so that you get a second chance if it doesn't work for some reason. If you try two that don't work, then close and reopen your browser before trying again.
• Sometimes promo codes that have expired still work.
• In general, you can only use a given promo code once per phone.
• For phones that have DMFL, the free minutes from a promo code do not get doubled.
• Codes will typically work on larger cards than the one listed, but not smaller.

OK, enough of the formalities, here's my full list of promo codes that give you free TracFone airtime!

These are a little old. They must have gotten rid of the tracfone.
