Insider discount not applied
Last month I went to my local T-Mobile store and switched over five lines to Magenta Max, porting numbers from my old carrier. I asked if they could offer me an Insider discount, and one of the salespeople immediately said yes. We completed the transaction, and I mentioned this discount a couple more times before I left.
When I checked the status online at insider.t-mobile.com, it said there was no submission associated with my number. I returned to the store and asked the same salesperson about this. He said it would be handled by a higher-up person and gave me the person's name and email. I reached out to that person (who apparently works for a company that operates the stores, not T-Mobile). He got back to me several days later and said he'd look in to it. No further response even after I emailed him again a week later.
I also mentioned this to a T-Mobile customer service person on the phone when I called about something else, and she didn’t seem to know what the Insider Discount was.
Am I out of luck or is there someone at T-Mobile I can contact for help?
My wife escalated through the T-Force support team on Facebook. They were pretty responsive. It took a few rounds of discussions over a few weeks, but we eventually got our discount. Good luck, @swimming-up-hill.
From what I've seen a Tmobile Insider promo hasn't been offered since May of 22.
Also if that's a 3rd party Tmobile store the employees wouldn't have an insider code since they're not Tmobile employees.
You can try using messenger on one of tmobile's social media platforms like Facebook or Twitter to see if they can help you they also are a higher tier of support.
I just had the same experience on may 21st 2023. I came into the tmobile store in Richmond TX and I switched 4 lines from verizon to tmobile go5g plus. I was promised the insider deal, then the people helping me said it would need a managers approval but I didn't need to wait. They said they would call or message me then nothing. I came back a few times and they promised they would get it done. So multiple trips to the t-mobile store and time wasted getting scammed..

I was really excited to finally make the switch, but this has me pretty pissed off / ruined the experience. In my 50 years on the earth I have never experienced anything like this from what I would consider to be a legitimate business.
Gracias @jmm2001 . Looks like this may get sorted out after all. Working with the store now but will escalate via T-force if it doesn't get sorted out

Does a rotary phone work on gateway and how do you do it.
This is one of the best techniques of scamming people....
One of the worst experiences I had with a cell phone provider since I started using wireless phone services in my life.
I came into the T-mobile store at this location(Lexington, Minnesota), and I switched 3 lines to T-Mobile after I had enough details discussions with one of the store associates. I was promised the insider deal, which was one of the reasons that I took a chance to switch to T-Mobile service, then the people helping me said it would take some time to be applied and approval but I didn't need to wait. After a month when I checked my monthly bill, the insider code was not applied. I came back to the store a lot of times and they promised they would get it done. Of course they have even told me not come in person that they will call me and make it happen. But all the promises didn't come true.
So multiple trips to the t-mobile store and time wasted , now today was my last trip for the last 12 months that I have been trying my best to work with the store manager.
And finally, Alex (one of the store managers) told me that I don't have any options, all the options I have is nothing but keep paying my cell phone bill.
