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.

The devices I have on my acct
ZTE Max XL N9560 (Sprint branded, prevously unlocked)
Samsung Galaxy J7 Perx (Sprint branded, previously unlocked)
Apple iPhone 7 (previously unlocked)
Moto E6 (unlocked)
ZTEs were locked again..after I added them to my acct. I called Sprint and complained about this and they instantly unlocked them.
Samsung Galaxy J7 Perx was not locked. iPhone 7 was not locked. Moto E6 can't be locked so was not locked.
I am not sure if this is a device specific issue rather than broad brush where Sprint relocks the device that was previously unlocked.
Even if they lock it, you can call them and have it unlocked right away. No need for 50 day non-sense since it was already unlocked and already paid for.

Also that list is somewhat outdated since newer devices example iPhone 11, pixel 4 missing. The S8,9.were originally limited to only unlocked models but carrier branded models were added once auto switching firmware(Samsung calls it BYOD software) was released.
yes, it can be ported online, but it takes longer. at least a day. I'm not sure why. If you're doing multiple lines, checkout doesn't give you option to enter account info/pin. you'll have to call it in or give to chat csr.

As a sidenote: I believe verizon branded phones are not locked. Unless things have changed.
NM, google says: Beginning on 7/23/2019, devices purchased from Verizon are locked for 60 days from the date of purchase. After 60 days, we will automatically remove the lock. Following the 60 day lock period, we do not lock our phones at any time.
I wish all carriers would adopt Verizon's policy. It would make this much easier!

Do you need to have the phone with you to port? or just sim?
From Sprint's perspective, the phone is activated even though I didn't put the SIM in.

Not sure how one of your Sprint branded phones didnt get locked. Every unlocked Sprint phone I've ever activated on Sprint has been relocked. Maybe something has changed, I'll find out soon.
