  • What is Gold Rewards status?
    With Gold Rewards status, you automatically receive 15% more minutes for free, and any unused minutes won’t expire for a full year!
  • How do I qualify for Gold Rewards status?
    To qualify, spend just $100 (in any combination of $10, $25, $50, or $100) in T-Mobile refills for your Prepaid phone. If you buy a combination of refills that add up to $100, you’ll receive 15% more minutes free on the NEXT refill card redeemed. If you buy a $100 refill card, you’ll automatically qualify for Gold Rewards status, and the bonus minutes will already be included in the card.
  • How do I find out how close I am to qualifying for Gold Rewards status?
    On your T-Mobile Prepaid phone, go to t-zones/my Account. Or, log in to My T-Mobile and view your status on the My T-Mobile home page. Also, each time you refill your card, we’ll send you a text message to let you know how close you are to Gold Rewards.
  • When will I get my bonus minutes?
    Gold Rewards minutes are received on the NEXT refill card you redeem after you have officially qualified. More specifically, you will receive bonus minutes on the refill card redeemed after the one that carries you over the $100 refill mark. But, if you purchase a $100 refill card, bonus minutes are already included in that card.
  • Can I ever lose my Gold Rewards status?
    Yes. To maintain your Gold Rewards status, you must keep your Prepaid account active. Activating a new Prepaid account will result in the loss of your Gold Rewards status.
  • Do Gold Rewards minutes cost more?
    No.
  • Does the airtime included at the time of activation count towards the Gold Rewards $100 requirement?
    No.
  • Do refill dollars on the Pay By The Day plan count towards Gold Rewards status?
    Yes. If you decide to change to a Pay As You Go rate plan, the refill dollars spent on the Pay By The Day plan will count towards the Gold Rewards status.
  • If I’m at $80 in refills and I buy two $25 refills and enter them into the refill system at the same time, will I get Gold Rewards minutes on the second one?
    No. If you apply both refills during the same session, the refill system will count them as a single $50 refill. Therefore, if you want Gold Rewards minutes on the second one, add the next refill after waiting 15 minutes.
  • Is there a Gold Rewards program for T-Mobile Sidekick® users?
    No, at this time there is no Gold Rewards program for Sidekick users.
