Tracfone - How does the Double Minutes for Life Card work?

Tracfone is the largest prepaid wireless carrier in the country with over 12 million subscribers and in order to get the best bang for your buck - you need to be a smart shopper!

The Tracfone Double Minutes for Life Card (DM4L) sells for $49.99 - you pay that one time fee and receive a 15 digit pin number which you load onto your Tracfone (if you need help, we'll do it for you free) and once that is programmed into your phone - anytime you buy more airtime - for the rest of your life - you'll automatically get double minutes. So, if you bought a $19.99 60 minute refill - you'd get 120 minutes, if you bought the 200 minute card for $39.99 that would automatically be doubled to 400 minutes, etc.

This is a good deal IF you plan on keeping your Tracfone for a long time. If you plan to be a short-term user, then this may not be a good deal for you. Keep in mind that the "double minutes for life" is good only on the phone you have now. If you change phones, that "double minute" feature cannot be moved to a new Tracfone - so make sure you have a newer model before buying.
