Is there any way to harvest the buckets from a phone I don't want to use anymore and will let it go inactive or are they just lost?
I have a blue tooth
You can transfer them to another line when the new line is activated. That's about it.
I've climbed a cellphone tower
I know someone who was totally disgruntled with Tracfone.
He had a whole lot of minutes left. He wanted to spite Tracfone by using up all his minutes, so he found a bunch of random international phone numbers belonging to companies (like automated customer service kinda numbers) and used up his minutes by calling them.
(Apparently TF has some conversion factor of 1 international minute = x domestic minutes).

Could've sold them on Ebay.

How does that work? sell the buckets or sell the phone with the buckets?

Sell the phone with the buckets. Some people might have a need for a phone with lots of minute and/or days. They don't care what phone it is. If they don't like the current number of that phone, they can text MINC to 611611 and get a new number assigned to it.
The OP can contact TF and asks the rep to ADD/COMBINE the remaining units/days of the little-used phone to another active phone. I did that whenever one of my temporary phones was no longer needed.
EDITED: with current Unlimited Plan, the value of the minutes/texts probably isn't much, but service days still hold their value.

Yes, that is what I was hoping I could do. Will TF still do that?

Most recent time I did it was on 4/19/22.

I had TF chat combine balances from a no-longer-needed-line to another line on 5/25/22, and it was quick and easy.

Lol quick and easy... I'm trying to do it today... First couldn't get chat to work. Next the rep said I had zero data left on one line, even though I've never even inserted the sim card, and my online balance that I can see proves it. Their system "disagreed" . They did say sorry but didn't do anything else. I'm on another chat now.

I've actually never experienced that, where the balance I see is different from what a chat CSR sees! Good luck getting it resolved!
Radiation is good
I have, on txt balance, BYOP T-Mobile Sim. 611611 showed correct, app and TracFone rep showed zero.
I merged it into another line and lost it, eaiser than trying to get it fixed. Wasn't worth the aggravation of fixing it.

The next rep I got agreed with the balance my online account showed, not sure what was going on with the first rep.

Good! The tried and true method...politely cycle through CSRs until you find a competent one!
I've got more phones than fingers
I've done about 10 merges in the past 2 months. All went fine. I just did one a few minutes ago. The first chat rep I tried for this few minutes ago merge gave me bad vibes so I cancelled that chat and did another one and that went through fine.
