Wild Banchi,
You are correct too.
I need to add more info. on this .
But last week I was in Las Vegas,using my Apple IPad to reply the forum.
As soon as I try to hit the enter to skip to next line,it reply the post
Anyway,not only the OP need $100 per 365 days.
OP also needed someone in USA to help him to do the "Add money"
OP also need to change plan to pay per use,like 0.10 cents per minute or US$2 per day.

Depending on how much money you have in your account, the cheapest may be porting to T-Mobile. With a single $100 T-Mobile To Go refill you attain Gold Status, which will allow any subsequent refill to last a year. So for 3 years that'll be $100 + $10 + $10, plus you'll lose your AT&T balance. Once you come back, port the number back to AT&T.

Hi Dmapr,
As far as I know, T mobile do not have any Gold Status !!!
Or else I won't lost over US$600+ credit with them on my 3 accounts in USA!! I want my money back!!
Yes, I had been doing what you said for so many years with T mobile, but in 2013,March I found out they stop the Gold Status, US$10 only good for 3 months.
One day I check the accounts and all the credit/money are gone.
Talk to their CS dept. in India ,they just keep on tell me because I only put US$10 in last time and it is only last for 3 months.
They even know how much money I got left in my 3 accounts,but they do not give me a refund.
The same happen to my T mobile UK account with over GBP 165 (Appx US$ 300) inside because I do not make a chargeable call for the last 120 days.
Fell like scam by T mobile

You'd better point them at their own website. They're still advertizing the gold rewards program. According to their site, $10 should still extend your account a year once you hit gold.

I had a Gold account with T-Mobile that I finally let go of since I wasn't using it at all, but my last renewal of $10 was in March of 2013 and the balance didn't expire until March of 2014, so it was definitely still working. Plus as fornax has mentioned, their own web site still advertises it. However, this only applies to the To Go plan, none of their other prepaid offerings. But if as you say $10 is good for 3 months (I don't recall now, but I believe it was only 30 days before) then it's still cheaper than AT&T: $10x4x3=$120 still gives you three years.

Hi fornax,dmapr,
Now, this crazy T mobile Gold thing are clear .
In late 2012, I changed from their To Go plan to the $2 with up to GPRS
data & $3 with 200MB data up to 4G speed.
That's why I lost the Gold Status!!
As far as I know, $10 credit is good for 3 months for the above plans.
And $100 credit are good for 365 days.

Yes, that would explain it. AFAIK the Gold status applies only to the To Go and that one has no data options anymore.
