It may be too late but unless it is the $15 plan, be sure to pre-register the email address for the Lunar New Year offer before registering the new plan. $15 plan ain’t eligible but all others are.

Hi @sherri8 it is good that you got one activated.  You need a different email address for your second account, but you can use the same credit card for autopay which will get you a $2 credit every 30-day cycle. 

You can also use the first account's referral code to get a one-time $10 referral bonus on your second account and $1 Refer-A-Friend credit every 30-day cycle on the first account as long as the second account is active.

You can find your referral code on the overview page of your self serve account 

If you have any other question, don't hesitate to ask.

Each phone activated with PM is a separate account and requires it's own email address.  You can use alias's as a work around to this.
