Promotional credits
- T-Mobile offers two types of promotional credits that adds a discount to your bill: promotional credits for lines or service and Recurring Device Credits (RDC).Promotional credits are applied directly to your account after you qualify for a promotion.
- T-Mobile also offers discount device promotions and discounted line or service promotions using rebates. For more info, check out Submit a rebate and Carrier Freedom™.
How promotional credits for lines or service work
- To receive promotional credits for discounted line or service promotions, you must meet all requirements of the promotion within the promo period.
- Some promotional credits will apply to your account automatically once you meet the promotion requirements. Please be aware that promotional offers can end at any time.
- Other promotional credits require you to enroll on the T-Mobile Redemption Center.
- You can have more than one promotional credit per line at a time as long as the promotions are allowed to be combined.
- The credits may take up to two full bill cycles to start after you qualify for the promotion.
- On the bill, you will have a promotional description for your credit.
Losing promotional credits
We want you to take full advantage of our promotional credit. So, please keep in mind the following, which will disqualify you from continuing to receive promotional credits:
- Customers enrolling July 1, 2024 and later: If you enroll in a device promotion starting July 1, 2024, you must maintain the line of service and EIP tied to the promotion to receive the full value of the offer, but if either are closed or cancelled, the monthly credits will stop.
- Not signing your E-signature or completing the EIP during the promotional period
- Exchanging or returning a device outside of the offer window, where the qualifying EIP is closed
- Canceling or changing the plan or service that is required for a credit promotion
- Performing a JUMP! upgrade to a new device from a device with a credit
- Returning one phone purchased as a BOGO (buy one, get one) offer (BOGO promotions require that you keep both phones and qualifying service)
- Failing to return a deferred trade-in within the allowed time frame
- Trade-in received is deemed to be damaged and thus ineligible for continued promo enrollment
How Recurring Device Credits (RDC) work
- To receive Recurring Device Credits (RDC), you must purchase your device on EIP (Equipment Installment Plan) and meet any other requirements of the promotion.
- You may have one Recurring Device Credits (RDC) promo per active Equipment Installment Plan (EIP).
- If you pay off your EIP early, you’ll continue to receive the promised Recurring Device Credits (RDC) as an account-level credit through the remaining months of the promotional credit period (up to 24 or 36 months).Customers enrolling July 1, 2024 and later will forfeit the remainder of their monthly RDC if they choose to pay off their EIP early.
- Additionally, you can't pay off an EIP by deducting the remaining Recurring Device Credits (RDC) installments from the remaining EIP balance. The full EIP balance must be paid to close out the plan.
- It can take up to two bill cycles for your Recurring Device Credits (RDC) to appear on your bill. If you don't get the credit on the first bill, you'll receive two credits on your next bill.
- If the Recurring Device Credits (RDC) promo is greater than your EIP payment, you'll have two credits on your bill; one credit for the same amount of as your EIP charge and a second for the balance of the remaining promotional credit.
- Recurring Device Credits (RDC) can't be sped up to pay off your device faster.
- If you are trading in a device as part of promo eligibility, you will be paid a one-time credit for the fair market value of the device. The balance of the promotional value will be paid via Recurring Device Credits. If you are in a retail location and performing an instant trade-in at the time of your purchase, you will be given options as to how that fair market value is applied.
- If you cancel your T-Mobile service, you'll lose any remaining Recurring Device Credits (RDC), and all remaining EIP balances become due immediately.
Recurring Device Credits (RDC) notifications

For promotions that require a port-in or trade-in, or are future-dated, we send a notification after you've met the eligibility requirements.
