Glad I did. $300 is better than $100 and I can still port out in a few months. No contracts on the Kickstarter plan. They automatically waived the activation fee by doing it online as well, but after looking at my confirmation email it says there will be a one-time credit of $30 within 3 invoices however that plays out. My first bill will be charged 30 days from today.
I was concerned with the Amazon reviews saying they were sent 4 of the same SIMs, but it worked flawlessly. Over chat the rep told me which one to use. I also asked if I could double down on both the $300 and $100 Amazon SIM promotion, but was a no go. Worth a shot anyway.

Looking at the FAQs on the promo site it seems like going through Best Buy may not qualify. It doesn't explicitly list a restriction of not being eligible if signing up with Best Buy, but it's subtle enough that they could deny it based on it:
FAQ quote:
"I received a message that my reward was not purchased from a qualifying location.
Please review the rules of the promotion and confirm that the card was purchased at a qualifying location. If you purchased a qualifying card at a participating location, please contact us and we'll help resolve the issue."
Hard to say what this statement applies to given the mention of a "card", though. Maybe it was geared to a previous promo.
On a related note, If it does qualify, I wonder if getting a discounted (or free like the Moto E6) phone through Best Buy would disqualify. (The terms say the phone purchase must be purchased at the SRP)
So far I have registered one BYOD port-in and 1 Moto E6 port-in through BB. Plan to do a final BYOD port in the next day, also through the $25 BB Kickstart.
So, on BYOD on a new credit account, you would get 5 lines basic for $100 for next 14 months. . .which also translates to 5 lines of plus for same $100 if doing BYOD. . .and with Sprint Works (employer discount) you would also get 5 lines of Premium for the same $100 for most of those 14 months (says takes up to 2 billing cycles for credits).
You will keep $10 per line BYOD discount as long as you don't finance a new phone later. ANd keep the Premium for the price of plus (if Sprint Works qualified) past the free 3,4,5 promo period regardless of financing a new phone after the promo period.
In my opinion, if you are staying Sprint long term, and with your requirements of service level, the credit account offers more benefits (assuming you get the Sprint Works discount).

$160 for you. . .
If you are a first responder, I might do this promo deal at first, then go back to TMO for their first responder deals long term. . .

In the past I've used T-Mobile prepaid SIM cards to port in/out, usually $9.99 through Amazon, but now they require an additional $10 to port-in. There seems to be ~$1.99 T-Mobile (non-physical) ICCIDs for sale on eBay, so net cost would be ~$12 for a port out that way. There may be cheaper options I'm not aware of. I've done T-Mobile in the past because it's nearly instant port-out/port-in.
The $25 kickstart can be done online at Best Buy without BYOD by purchasing a phone. I did it at my local Best Buy store since I was using a family member for the new account creation and doing BYOD at first. Getting the $300 rebate while going through Best Buy's Kickstart is still YMMV. I plan to stay on Sprint until rates go up (according to T-Mobile they won't raise rates for 3 years post merger), so it was worth to register for the promo and see if it goes through.
For those doing this strictly as a MM, best would be to sign up directly with Sprint to ensure they don't deny the rebate based on signing up via a third party (Best Buy).
Like I mentioned on my earlier post, if going though Best Buy qualifies for the $300, the safest route may be BYOD given the terms mention purchasing the phone at the SRP (suggested retail price?). If it ends up qualifying with any phone purchase regardless, the Moto E6 is the option to pick, currently free at Best Buy (says $49.99 through Sprint, then shows free in checkout)
In short, to make sure the purchase is qualified, go with Sprint directly for the $35 kickstart. I wanted to lock down the lower service price through BB and Sprint happened to have the promo registering link available, so I went with it to see if it sticks, but YMMV
Excl. 11+ Corporate-liable, prepaid & ports made between Sprint and related entities. Prepaid Card/Virtual.
They always use interesting lingo, I've been a customer for then for 10+ years and then switched to Tello. $10 mo. Zero BS...I'm good with that.
Let me know what you find out too!

Everyone, don't forget to do Plus instead of basic unlimited. It's the same price with BYOD.
Each line would also say "Save $10 on Plus or Premium" as well.
Upgrades your streaming to 1080p, upgraded gaming and music speeds, as well as Tidal Premium music service, and probably puts you higher up on the totem pole deprioritization wise.
Nycdpi. . .you can most likely still do that upgrade.
Needgeech, all, did anyone have issue creating a new "no credit check" account either while having a current active credit check acct or a past, cancelled credit check acct? Any issue with using the same email address? This would be very useful info if anyone can confirm it. Thank you.
