Tracfone’s 10% discount is for military members and veterans, so first responders don’t get it, but cash back through Hoopla Doopla is open to everyone. ID.me says it isn’t aware that Tracfone offers First Responders discounts, and Hoopla Doopla lists a cash back offer on Tracfone.
Tracfone sells prepaid plans, so there’s no contract to sign. If you’re a first responder looking at Tracfone, the cash back route is the one that applies to you.
How To Get The Tracfone First Responder Discount
There’s no first responder program at Tracfone, so the saving comes from cash back. It works like this:
- Open Hoopla Doopla with the button below and sign in, or join if you’re new.
- Go to its Tracfone page and click through to Tracfone’s site from there.
- Choose a plan or phone and check out in that same visit.
- Read the current cash back figure on the Hoopla Doopla page before you buy, since offers change.
- Check your total at checkout before you place your order.
What Hoopla Doopla Caps
Hoopla Doopla caps cash back at $20 per purchase. That limit applies to the cash back only, so it won’t change what Tracfone charges you for the plan or the phone.
Tracfone’s Military and Veteran Discount
Tracfone does have a discount program, and it’s built for a different group. It goes to U.S. active duty, National Guard, reserves, veterans and their spouses, and Tracfone says immediate family members aren’t eligible. Tracfone checks eligibility through ID.me. The discount applies to its select Unlimited Talk and Text plans at $20, $25, $30, $40 and $50, and it isn’t available on Tracfone Extended Service Plans. If you’re a first responder who also served, you may qualify through your military service rather than your current job.
For anyone who does qualify, Tracfone says you only need to verify once through ID.me. After that first check, the discount continues to apply as long as you stay on an eligible plan. Tracfone’s discount page has the full list of plans, so check it against the plan you want before you verify.
