Forget Friday, #TGIT
T-Mobile is all about showing its appreciation to their customers. That’s why for five years, T-Mobile has changed the wireless industry for good through groundbreaking moves — including the launch of T-Mobile Tuesdays, a customer appreciation program that’s all about thanking customers, simply for being customers.
We’re talking free stuff, exclusive discounts and deals.
Since the program launched in 2016, T-Mobile customers have snagged millions of offers like free MLB.TV subscriptions, Burger King deals, discounts on Shell gasoline and free T-Mobile swag.
It’s not just about stuff, either. As a valued T-Mobile customer, you get access to free or discounted experiences, too.
Enjoy a date night courtesy of T-Mobile with offers like free Redbox video rentals and discounts on Live Nation concert tickets. Talk about sharing the love.
And, it doesn’t stop there. T-Mobile Tuesdays spread the love to everyone (including non-T-Mobile customers) with its regular sweepstakes, and the prizes are massive. Past prizes include cash, paid trips to tropical destinations, gifts cards and free 5G phones, just to name a few.
