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.

Why go for basic, it's $100, the same as Unlimited Plus.
Best way to do it is to port 5 lines to together. I haven't tried separate porting with Unlimited Plus
if you can't port because visible is suspended, your best might be to port a number from google voice, $3 to unlock
I asked two different Sprint corporate sales employees as well as the rep at the local Sprint store I spoke to. All three said the same thing--you can get the promo w/ different accounts but not with different lines tied to the same acct. The chat bot said the same thing but I didn't trust it so I asked 3 different employees.
This promo ends on 4/9/20, as stated. Once signed up you must submit your rebate for the $300 card by 5/10/20, also as stated.
Other details:
-You can only get 1 $300 rebate per ACCOUNT.
-You can have more than 1 ACCOUNT per address. So if you have a roommate or relative w/ the same address you both can get the $300 card if you have separate accounts. You can't share accounts and both get the $300 rebate. Only one of you would get the $300 if you choose to share an account w/ someone.
-This is a BYOD plan and therefore your phone should not be locked onto Sprint as you did not source the phone from them. The person I spoke to said he's worked for Sprint for years and he's never heard of a BYOD device being locked to Sprint.
-The link above gave me considerable issues ordering. The process stalled at the credit check. I believe my credit reports are now locked because of the Experian data breach and I didn't remember before trying to use the self-service site at the link above to order. Their system first tried to get their chat bot to verify me and she got confused. I ended up calling the number the credit error gave me and that individual was offshore and couldn't understand I was not calling to activate service but because of a credit check error. I ended up being transferred to a corporate sales rep who created an account for me, waived the credit check, and approved me for 5 lines of service. He then ordered the Sim card for me. He's supposed to call me back when it arrives to sign me up for the plan & activate the account. He assured me that even though I didn't go through the self-service system I could still get the promo. We'll see.
-I've been given 3 different time frames to receive the rebate card. The employee at the store says it usually takes 60 days, however, the official literature says 13-15 weeks, and I've also been told 90 days by the chat BOT. So, to be on the safe side expect 90 days. The terms and conditions say you must maintain on-time payments, in full and an active phone line for the full 90 days to get the card so I'm setting up autopay to make sure there aren't any interruptions in service where they can try to deny the $300 rebate.
-The Kickstarter BYOD plan is $40/month with a $5 discount for autopay bringing the total to $35/month + taxes and fees. They're waiving the $35 activation fee via the self-service site or via phone.
-The Kickstarter plan is unlimited Talk, Tex, and Data. They do not throttle data after you use so many gigabytes like other carriers. Instead they prioritize your data when you are in the proximity of other Sprint users. Those users who have used the least data are given priority on the network. I was given the example that if I use 50GB and some other Sprint user I'm near has only used 10 GB then they are given priority on the network but this should only be noticeable if you are in a very densely populated area or crowded stadium, etc. Don't know how true that is.
Hope these little extra bits of info will help someone else like me who has never dealt with Sprint before and don't quite know how they operate.

My free BYOD is about to expire and I didn't care about the numbers. I ported numbers from Google Voice.
