my plan says expires 6/10. I am now wondering if it's possible to hold on activating the KS promo until the 10th of May and stay on. I'm porting from Visible.

In my opinion it is unlikely the current Kickstart promos will still be active in June in their present form. Kickstart may or may not be offered then but with different or no promos.

It will be competitive though as Boost starts up with Dish in that time frame so there will likely be various offers.

Yes I don't think it's worth it. My mom is on the plan still and I needed a new iPhone so I ported to Visible. I was thinking I could spend another month on free plan before rolling to the BYOD promotion. But since you can't switch from Sprint, I am thinking it is not worth screwing up stuff.

Judging by listings on several Sprint promo sites which are bought and paid for by Sprint, It appears that the Sprint $300 gift card offer has been extended to April 30.......
Unfortunately, although it did (and does) list the $300 gift card offer as good through April 30 at https://www.pcworld.com/couponcodes/sprint and other sites:
Quote :
$300 OFFER
Earn a $300 prepaid Mastercard when you bring your phone to Sprint
Offer ends on 04/30. Now is a better time than ever to switch to Sprint ..
it is not looking good right now.

The $300 gift card promo appears to be gone from the Sprint site as of this hour as the clock rolls over from the 9th to the 10th.

Obviously those are paid ads by Sprint. I do not know if Sprint changed their mind or provided misleading info to those sites.

I hope that as many people as possible made it in on or before the 9th and hope that not too many people left it until later. I am sorry if some people missed it. Maybe people who are late could make a case based on those ads in some cases.

That's probably a TMO move. New Sherriff in town. No more nice freebies!

My E-Statement / Sprint Online Bill Clearly Says "Savings until 3/31/20; then $60/mo. for line 1, $40/mo. for line 2 and $20/mo./line for lines 3-5 with AutoPay DVD-quality streaming"... and this was generated two days ago.

But... on the website, under "Change Plan"... it says "
Savings until 5/31/20; then $60/mo. for line 1, $40/mo. for line 2 and $20/mo./line for lines 3-5 with AutoPay" -- it also shows this same language on another page as well.

Knowing Sprint, I feel like this is some error and I'm not going to get lucky, but is anyone else seeing this? It would be really nice to save an additional two months of $$$$, instead of doing the port-out and port in again.

Everyone who has March and April ending dates have been extended 2 months. Just read back a few pages.

Sharing my comment from $300 promo-

Just now registered in LMCU for my two accounts. Yesterday I chatted with Sprint rep for $5 auto pay discount not applied on my current bill. She adjusted $5 and also she shared Spring perks URL to register to get employee discount. I registered with work email and today received confirmation mail on successful verification. It says it will reflect in my account within 2 billing cycles. Not sure how much discount. Keep you updated.

Mail content for ref:

Thank you for contacting Sprint. Here is the information you requested on how to verify your Sprint® Perks eligibility.



It's easy to get started:

1. Go to sprint.com/verify from your computer or tap here from your smartphone.

2. Click Verify Eligibility.

3. Enter any Sprint phone number associated with your account and click Continue.

4. Select the appropriate option below based on how you'd like to verify:

• Provide the email address issued by your organization and click the link in the email we send you to complete your enrollment.

• Click Fast Track to select your Sprint Perks offer (military, education, corporate) and complete the appropriate form confirming your eligibility for the offer.

- Click Upload or fax to confirm your savings eligibility by uploading or faxing proof of your active status as an employee, student or member.

- Be sure your proof of eligibility is legible and includes both the organization name and your name to avoid delays.

- If your proof is dated, be sure the date is current.

- Remember to black out completely or delete all confidential information from the proof of eligibility you submit.



It can take up to three days to process your request. You can check verification status any time by entering your Sprint phone number at sprint.com/verify.

Unfortunately the $300 promo ended on Thursday without being extended as I had hoped so the issue is pretty much moot now.

Mainly Sprint Perks which I see you have posted about

If you know a Sprint employee personally they can refer you for a very low cost Advantage plan.
