Here is my experience for those that would help:

Order placed: 9/23/2019 Included $50 bonus while ordering. Unfortunately, I did not take screen shot which I should have.
Froze my CC on 9/24 to prevent the $300 charge
Received SIM: 9/25/2019
Purchased Refill Cards from eBay (seller: ravavr.pvydgwuim) - 30 $10 cards for $254
Cards took about 18-20 hours to be delivered
Today (9/26) tried to activate online. System indicated SIM is active but would not let me register online. It kept saying number is not linked to a PREPAID card. After 10 minutes made a call to the number in WIKI.
It took good 15 minus to get to a rep. Their automated system does not let you connect to a rep easily. We need to try entering phone number multiple times. The rep initially said my number is still with my previous wireless carrier. I patiently advised her about my number is already active and she checked few things and confirmed it needs payment before I could register online. This varies for each person depends on who we get I guess.
I advised her that I would like to load with my refill cards. She was nice enough to take all 30 cards over the phone and apply them.
As soon as the second $10 cards is applied my phone started receiving AT&T's text messages about my port being complete and number active etc..
After all of them are loaded, I was able to make the call.

My $50 bonus has not appeared after 3 hours. I am keeping my fingers crossed. Apparently they removed the promotion for this plan and hope it shows up in a day. Even if it did not, I am not too worried as the deal itself saves. She could not help with bonus. After 45 minutes on phone I gave up.

My cost for the deal after considering all cash backs including 2% from bates site for eBay purchase, 8% eBay cash back, and 5% PayPal from discover would be around $220. If they would give $50 bonus that makes it even sweeter.

Overall if the service can stand up I would not argue less than $20 per month for a year plan.

Geez, these people sure make it to difficult to activate service. Why in the hell would the $300 you already paid not be placed against the service by the time the sim was mailed???

I still can see the $50 bonus promo today. Just submitted ordered, the total is ~$317, got charged instantly 2 transactions ($1 and $0.99). I think they just charge to check my CC, the order got success. I froze my CC after that. Haven't received the email about ATT account registration yet, my order status is still "We're working on your order.". However, I decided to order a new number and will port it later, I hope that will make the process less hassle.

So, ?.. once we get card, seemingly activate online, it then wants the $300 payment? Sort of thought I did that when I completed the purchase.

So, do we pay the $300 online again for the 25$ a month plan? And has anyone done this and does the $50 credit apply and just sit there for FUTURE use?

Can I fund the 300 dollar with 30 10$ att prepaid cards available on ebay like here (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-Ne...SwV-xc7Wbk)

Asking because on listing it says validity 3 months and I have never used these cards before.

Thanks.

Yes you can. I bought 30 of them and once the representative finished activating my service, she told me that I need to fund the account, so I told her I had 30 prepaid refill cards and she kindly helped entered them in on her end. I just did this and my number got ported over and service is active now.

It appears they don't fund the account with the cc for whatever reason. I attempted to activate my account two days ago and it's still unusable. Phone reps originally said it would take 1-2 hours after activation, then I was told to wait a day, now they say it was never funded. There's no pending charge on my cc either. Earlier I bought 8 of the $35 cards for $32 each off Ebay and earned $20.48 in Ebay bucks plus 5% back with Discover for using PP. I'll fund the remaining $20 with my cc. I locked the card I originally used to purchase the plan just in case. I have no idea what will happen with the $50 promo.

I had the same experience. After finishing port on phone and activating, I was told to wait 1-2 hours for the charge to go through on my CC (that I submitted online with original purchase). I waited until the next day before finally calling in and giving credit card details over phone, which activated the service right away.
I had seen the original pending charge for $1 after placing order online but it never came through.

Not sure if it's common knowledge but Verizon is now locking their phones for 60 days after purchase even if it's paid in full. I was able to take advantage of this AT&T deal but my wife is struggling...

She took advantage of an upgrade a few weeks back to get a $300 Sams/Walmart gift card, paid her phone off the next week, and planned to take advantage of this deal but can not at this time get her phone unlocked from Verizon. We've called multiple CS reps and even chatted but they all say "It's a company policy to prevent fraud" and it appears it is indeed something they worked out with the FCC. We have the SIM, the port process states "Confirmed," and we've received text from Verizon stating the service is being cancelled and the number is being moved. Out the AT&T sim and get a prompt about being locked to carrier. We now have to wait a a weeks while things are in limbo until we've hit 60days.

If anybody has been able to get a phone purchased in the last few months through Verizo that is indeed paid off unlocked in less than 60 days please let me know.

I think I am the 1st person here who successfully had this plan activated and added to my already existing prepaid account. No need to change my phone number, no need to port anything and no need to change sim cards. Heres how I did it. First I tried to call and have a rep do it over the phone which failed at first. I spoke to a few foreign reps as well as foreign supervisors who swore that this plan could only be applied if you set everything up online which I knew was wrong because I read on this forum how numerous people had the plan applied by phone. So after calling back repeatedly a few times I finally spoke to an American rep who set up the $300.00 promo plan in about 8 minutes and took all 6 of my prepaid cards that I had previously purchased from Sams club for 285 total and BOOM my plan was active. Just like that smooth as silk. The key is to speak to a non foreign rep over the phone to get this done. The reps with strong foreign accents either cannot or will not asisst you with this. Hope this helps you guys.
Awesome.

What number did you call and what confirmation did you receive that they moved your account to the correct plan?

I'm going to try to do this on Monday for 2x numbers (the ATT family plan I share with my wife). At $112/mo after taxes this is a no brainier.

In the end, I went ahead and just put down the $300 on a new CC and within 5 seconds the phone was active and working calls.texts.data. We'll figure out where/how the $50 credit gets applied. Maybe it's to the "account" which means it will only be used for ancillary costs or future months after 1 yr. Frankly, if there isn't another deal like this for a 2nd phone for me at the 1yr. Mark I'll just cancel and buy whatever other package one can get from any provider. I think in a year, we'll have much more 5G and 5G phones, and they will have to charge MORE for that and so therefore they will have to offer LTE access for years forward but at a lower price. So, I think we'll have deals like this or CHEAPER on a go forward basis for the foreseeable future.

D'oh! Time got away from me and my one-year Sprint unlimited free deal ends tomorrow. Given the time it takes for the AT&T sim to arrive and activate, looks like I might have a few days of the full-price $100 ($60 + 40 second line) plan in effect.

For those switching over from that slick deal, do you know if Sprint will only charge me for the number of days it took to port out to AT&T, or would I be on the hook for the full $100?
