I would have preferred they kept the old passes but lots of other people complained of the charges.
So for the same $20 for 1GB you now get 2GB over 4 days. If you were good on using less data per day then you are hosed (I could go 5-6 days on the old pass) - Sorry they made this change. I did just update the wiki to reflect the change. The one POSITIVE is - for each day you have a $5 pass active, inbound and outbound calls are free. Meaning NO 25c (yes that went up from prior 20c a min) for any calls when a pass is active.

You can have ONE pass active and one in queue - though the interface right now is AWFUL. I did ask executive response at TMO if this will change and they did say at some point multi day purchasing will become easier. For now - you need to add a pass each day - YES THIS SUCKS. Suggest at the expire interval go to my.t-mobile.com on your device and add another pass for immediate activate vs queueing one up. I've had issues on queueing up passes and using the next one. Not tried to add a 2nd pass when used up all the 512MB of data and trying to add one more pass if the 24 hour period isn't over. TMO's systems haven't been very good for these kinds of things.
HINT: if you have Twitter - highly suggest authenticating with TMO Customer Care to send DM's to them to add passes. I do this instead of the website if I have limited time.
Also I did note a SIMPLER URL to add the daily pass:
