T-Mobile Magenta Status is a free program for T-Mobile subscribers to get a slew of benefits and complimentary memberships. Members can get 15% off Hilton stays, a complimentary DoorDash membership, up to 40% off travel and car rentals, a Netflix membership, and more. Even better, it's free as long as you remain a paying customer.
Here's what you need to know about T-Mobile Magenta Status.
What Is T-Mobile Magenta Status?
Magenta Status is a benefits program available to most T-Mobile smartphone customers. Eligible subscribers can sign up for the free program through their T-Mobile account to unlock discounts, travel perks, and complimentary subscriptions.
Here's the run-down of the travel-related Hilton Honors, rental car, and streaming perks you'll enjoy, courtesy of Magenta Status.
Hilton Honors benefits
If you are a Hilton Honors member, you'll have access to a discounted rate that knocks 15% off the nightly rate at all 20+ Hilton brands. Per the terms (which are vague), the discount is subject to availability at participating properties. A deposit when booking is required to get the discount. This benefit is available to most T-Mobile customers except those on Connect, talk-and-text-only, and negotiated contract plans.
Dollar and Pay Now car rental benefits
If you've ever rented a car, you're likely familiar with the struggle of returning it to the lot with enough fuel to avoid a charge. However, if you have Magenta Status, renting a car just got a little easier thanks to perks extended to Dollar car rentals.
With Dollar rentals at participating locations, you can return your car to the airport without refueling. The terms on this are vague, only stating that you'll still pay an unspecified amount in taxes and fees. This perk covers rentals of at least one day's duration made more than 24 hours in advance. Additionally, the perk isn't valid for rentals of large SUVs, vans, or trucks.

40% discount on travel through T-Mobile Travel
T-Mobile Travel is a booking site you can access as a T-Mobile customer to save on travel packages. With T-Mobile Magenta Status, members can save up to 40% off available accommodations and Pay Now rental cars.
Available accommodation bookings are in the U.S. (including Puerto Rico and the USVI) and for international travel. The discount applies to the room's base price before taxes and fees. Members can make reservations up to 11 months in advance. The discount is not valid with existing reservations and cannot be combined with any other promotion, offer, discount, or coupon.
Members can also save up to 40% off prepaid (Pay Now) car rentals. All vehicles receive a 30% discount when selecting Pay Now, and some vehicles also receive an additional 10% T-Mobile Exclusive discount. The discount is compared to the Pay Local/Later prices. Members can make reservations up to 12 months in advance.
Streaming benefits
T-Mobile Magenta Status comes with several streaming benefits. Members can claim complimentary Netflix and Hulu memberships, as well as SiriusSM and Pandora deals. The Netflix Standard with ads membership is worth up to $7.99 monthly or $95 annually, and the Hulu (with ads) membership normally costs $11.99 per month or $143 per year.
Members can also claim a free six-month SiriusXM membership, regardless of whether they've had SiriusXM before. After the free membership, members can opt to continue their membership for $11.99 per month plus tax.
You can also claim four free months of Pandora. After the trial period, the Pandora subscription renews at $10.99 per month plus tax, unless canceled. Only new Pandora members can claim this benefit.
DoorDash DashPass membership
T-Mobile Magenta Status also includes a free DoorDash DashPass membership when purchasing a T-Mobile Experience plan. DashPass is valued at up to $120 per year and includes $0 delivery fees and reduced service fees on eligible orders.
