We have extensive actual experience in THIS thread with the way things ACTUALLY work. Porting out the last line closes the account, as has been stated numerous times and is in the Wiki and done maybe hundreds of times.
You are eligible for those new account-only offers 45 days after your SSN was last actively in use on the system. Many of us want through signing up for new-account-only offers (namely the free plan over again) two times over and counted down the 45 days from porting out the last line.
Calling in to close an account has no independent effect anyway. The system operates on an automatic timetable. A sales rep has no ability to affect that. You cannot fully close your account at your initiation.
When you come to sign up for a new customer offer, THAT is THEN the time when they count back to see if the 45 day period was satisfied. In actual fact, most commonly nothing will have happened to your account by then whether you called in earlier to "cancel" or not. It is only at the point where you try to sign up for a new customer only offer that the Credit Department will be willing to manually override your old account to allow you to sign up for a new one, provided 45 days have passed in accordance with Sprint policy.
Again, numerous people here including me actually went through this twice or more!

would referral discount work on 2 for 50?
If it makes you more comfortable, sure you can do it s long as all legitimate charges get paid one way or another. Sometimes these might be delayed or adjusted a little.
You only need autopay to be on so long as new monthly plan charges are occuring so as to get the $5 discount. After that, it serves no purpose except to save you the trouble of paying and remaining miscellaneous charges or adjustments manually.
In either case, I would make sure to log in to make sure everything is being billed/settled/refunded correctly as the account winds down / closes.
You can continue to log in ocasionally for a few months after your account "closes" to verify everything went as expected.
The point of this is simply, explore your options and take into account the cost over time.
As I turn out the lights on this, I want to bail , obviously, the last minute, but I am confused by Sprint billing . It says on my bill:
"Your Unlimited plan promo pricing ends 6/30/20. Starting w/ your July bill, line 1 will be $60/mo.,..."
So, my next payment will be on June 3 for peanuts, and my billing period ends on June 9. Does this mean I need to leave before June 9 before I get slammed, or do I have until early July?
We will port briefly to H2O paygo for a bit, as we are still kinda on semi-lockdown and don't leave the house much at all. Then I have some Speedtalk prepaids with data that I bought cheap a year ago to burn up.

So you are paid until then in your free plan.
Do not wait until July 9. Probably safer to port out a week or so before that, maybe July 1st.
Your July bill will start on July 10 and it'll be for the $60/$40/$20 rate.
Be careful with your port out.
Some companies may take a few hours or a few or several days to do the port out. Others do it in 15 minutes, like T-Mo.
I don't know how long H2O takes but you may want to port out by June 30/July 1.
Check how long H2O takes to port in to them if you want to push the limit.
Only after the port out becomes effective is the Sprint account closed and it may take 24 hours or so to be updated in the Sprint system as a closed account.
