Black Friday at T-Mobile means free travel.

From November 23 to 25, people who sign a two-year contract for T-Mobile's MyFavs service will get a free plane ticket to one of 10 U.S. cities: Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, New York City, Orlando or Washington, D.C.

You will have to pay taxes, fees, and $25 per ticket booking fee, however.

T-Mobile's MyFavs plan allows unlimited calling to any five people you choose, regardless of what mobile or land-line provider they use. Plans prices vary, from $40 a month for 300 "whenever" minutes to the $140 a month plan for 5,000 minutes.

It's always a daunting experience trying to get rebates back from cell phone providers. I imagine there are going to be a few people with new, two-year T-Mobile contracts who are SOL in the free plane ticket department because of an application that's missing a UPC sticker or was filled out in blue instead of black ink. But given that any sort of change to a cell phone account these days require a two-year contract extension, the possibility of a free plane ticket is not a bad incentive.

Naturally, there are a few requirements that must be met before jetting to the destination of your choice.

Your MyFavs account must be active by Dec. 26 and you must submit an application for a "booking request" form by Dec. 31. Then you must remain a T-Mobile customer and pay your bill on time until at least Feb. 29, 2008 before you can take advantage of the offer.

Brush up on your penmanship because if T-Mobile deems your application illegible or you use a photocopied booking request form, it will be denied. If rejected, your application can be re-filed only once, according to T-Mobile.

Members of the same household with single line plans cannot travel on the same flight, but people with family plans are eligible for two tickets.

The terms and conditions don't list any specific black-out dates, saying only that flight are "strictly subject to promotional availability." You do have to give T-Mobile 30 days notice and use your flight voucher within 13 months of the date it is mailed to you, though.

T-Mobile is not partnering with any specific airline for the venture. Departures are available from 59 U.S. airports.

The offer is also open to existing T-Mobile subscribers provided they agree to an additional two years on their contract. Business accounts or lines added to existing family plans are not eligible.

Be warned. All bets are off "in the event of war, earthquake, catastrophe, strike, or similar event," according to T-Mobile.
