year, so wouldn't collect quite so badly... My TracFone only gives me double minutes, but they also roll over... currently I have 1628.30 on
my phone, to last me until early March, when I need to get another
year's service....

I also have Tracpone and use it only very occasionally. Probably had it
for more than a decade. I also renew it on a yearly option, getting
double minutes. But for the past two times I renewed it, they gave me
the option of adding another year with no extra minutes for half price.
I grabbed that double and so now my Tracpone has 3600 minutes and is
good until June of 2021 or so.

I got that double year deal offered once, and grabbed it... :) I'd be
glad if it were offered again, but so far not... That is yet another way
to get a good deal on cell phone service....

Usually the type of phone one gets has different plans. One will have straight time, another double and another triple minutes, for the life of the phone.
Mine from TracFone have always been either double or triple minutes.

My phone has double minutes on it... once upon a time, I actually bought
a card that gave me double minutes for life, and that would have
transferred to this phone, had it not already come with that... But
that double year offer was something else.... when I went to get the
year's service option when my service days were running out, not only
did I get the year's service, with its 400 minutes, plus my double
minutes on that, and a bonus offer with the redemption of the card, I
also was offered the chance to add another whole year of service,
without any more minutes, for half the cost of the year card... It made
very good sense to me, so I jumped on the offer.... So far I've only
been offered that the one time, or I'd've done it again... I had plenty
of minutes to spare even after the second year's time was running out...
