Why no deals for long time customers?

Everyone is saying the same thing, So you need to ask yourself are you getting the best bang for your buck. I believe no one currently beats TMO value. I'll use my plan.

North American Simple Choice Family Promo;

4 lines with Unl Talk&Text $150 additional lines $30

Unlimited 4gb LTE Smartphone data  ****14GB LTE Mobile Hotspot****

Tablet W/ 5gb matched + 200mb for life $20(-$10)  simple choice discount

wearable $15($10)

Tablet 6GB data / Data stash $35(-$10) simple choice discount + 50% of AAL(-$12.50)

with my plan I've cord cut from cable.

$150 + $30 + $10+ $5 + $12.50 = $207.50(plus taxes and fees) and I get a government discount former DOD, now with DOJ. what makes my plan valuable,

el 14gb LTE hotspot with binge on it keeps me well within 14GB. the era of free flagship phones are gone. Show me any carrier that has anything remotely better.

I receive texts and emails with great deals. The one I received this week was a BOGO for Samsung Galaxy.

I love my T-Mobile service. I only have had two (2) cities that I don't have T-Mobile service, but I understand that's changing.

Guess there's just way too many people out there willing to pay the high price for services, that they just figure (TMobile), there are more people in line after me to worry about the few that have differences of opinion

Show me a better deal on any other carrier with a BOGO.  Sprint seems really good but the fine print depending on plan and lines at the end of 2 years you end up paying more on Sprint at the end of the day.  A friend of mine decided to try and go to Sprint and compare his plan which you might be on because he been with T-Mobile for 3 years promotional plan(all customers can switch to them.  The end results he'll be on the same boat as you claim and end up paying more in the long run because that promo plan ends him paying $190 instead of $120 after 1 year.  the second year being tied in he paid for that device is supposedly got for free and after that he starts losing money.  If he wants to get another bogo he has to add a line, or switch carriers.

Offers look good on paper, but truth be told sometimes they are not as good if people actually check the numbers.

I agree, after all we pay for service and cost of these phones... It's only right that people, after so many years, should receive some type of kick-back.
EXAMPLE: They only charge an extra $5 on the bill for unlimited data. Why not give loyal customers an incentive and give it to them for free? waive the $5. God knows you people make enough off us.

Long Term customers are grandfathered into the plan they have.  They will not take it away or change it's price.  There is no expiration to the plan you selected. That's a pretty good incentive when you compare it to other carriers where they give you a price for a year and viola price goes up $100 in some cases after the promotional plan period is over.  Often in the long run being on that legacy plan saves you more than that BOGO will give you for a new customer because they on average spend at least $20-30 more than a person on legacy plans before device payments are calculated.

We all got that new customer offering when we all joined a carrier.  You'll be on the same boat on ANY OTHER CARRIER after you switch.  The new customer that just got this deal will be in the same place you are if they want to get a new promotional offer.  Doesn't matter the carrier at all.  What people should really look for a make sure they ensure they have the coverage they are paying for.

Just a heads up for example I am on a really good Legacy plan, and I have other promotional lines to the point I pay $160 for 8 lines.  With employee discount(I work for the DoD) I end up play $130 for 8 lines.  Sure I lose out on certain BOGO's and such, but compared to all other carriers and compared to new customers I save myself at least $120 a month iirc.  I cut my kids off and switched to the 55+ and now pay $60 for 2 lines.  At that point still lose certain promotions, but I save $60-80 a month compared to new customers who are not 55+.  The ones that are 55+ they can't take advantage of a lot of the promotions either so it's a bit moot for that.

T-mobile have a variety of limited time deals being offered all the time, as customers we have to grab them before they expire. Currently There is an Alcatel tablet available for FREE and you are not necessarily  required to add a line. You just need to have atleast an eligible tablet line of 2GB+ to qualify. If you already have a 2GB tablet line you can score yourself a FREE TABLET but you will be required to pay the sales tax upfront on the tablet. If you don't have a tablet line, you will have to add a line to qualify. Next month I'm sure more deals will appear.😉

Loyalty to a company that wants your money?  No. Stay loyal to yourself and own best interests.

Agree.  I have been with tmo for many years, and already have as many lines as im allowed.  So, i can't even get another line.  i have been promoting tmo for years, and now im not so sure i want to.  i went to the store today to upgrade one of my lines to a note8 and the ending price was actually more than if i were to buy it outright by 40.00.  its really unbelievable how tmo treats loyal customers.  i apparently don't qualify for the netflix on my account, and, NEVER, will anyone in the store go over discussions with me to talk about options.  i have stuck with tmo for all these years because the price was always good.  but it seems like they have started to go the way of cable companies and only appreciate the new customers and avoid the current.  it would be nice to know the loyalty meant something to them.

Unfortunately the bogo offers require a line added whether you've been with Tmobile for a month or 20 years.

A lot of people add a line and after they get the rebate cancel the line the next month.

Too much work for me.
