Sprint reached out and tells us that the link in the OP is outdated and this one https://community.sprint.com/t5/E...-p/1033393 is the newer, corrected one.
I didn't want to edit the OP but if the OP wanted to edit to have this link.. that would be great.

Hopefully the transition is seamless, like Hulu. I previously had a paid Hulu sub, but once it was included with my Sprint service, I just activated it and kept my same account history/info (e.g., shows added to favorites, watched shows, etc.).

Has anyone gotten any sort of phone deal in conjunction with converting to SWAC? do they even offer phone deals for SWAC?

I have one month of flex lease credit remaining from when I traded in my iphone 6s for the iphone x. Will it affect my conversion?

Someone said you will lose credit. I don't think this makes sense. Maybe you can email Sprint to confirm.

Yes. Just tell Amazon and they will refund you proportionally for your membership. This was easy.

Read through the whole thread and haven't seen these questions answered.

My employer offers a $5 monthly Sprint discount per line, BUT SERO accounts were not eligible. Has anyone tried applying an employer-sponsored plan discount to the SWAC account?

Is Hulu usage restricted to the Sprint device, or does the plan provide a free regular Hulu account that I can log into and use in all of my other TVs and devices?

So I emailed the CEO and a few other emails I've collected throughout time. Got a phone call to do the conversion but decided I'd do it myself. The CS rep told me to choose option 3, however I see posts on here saying to choose option 1. Anyone have any reasoning behind my options here?

Converted last night by emailing the CEO. Worked like a charm. They had me converted in the morning.

For me, my free hulu has not been restricted to my phone. Been able to watch my free hulu on other platforms (e.g., PS4).
