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.

Hope that clears that up for you.
On another note, even though Sprint said (on the final page before I confirmed the order) something along the line "don't worry, we will not port your numbers until you receive the sim cards and activate them".
Sure enough, right after I confirmed the order, I got messages on all my phones about someone was trying to port out my numbers. How incompetent can Sprint be? Fortunately, Sprint does not have the PIN yet, so the port did not go thru.
also try the DIY page
2. Activate your SIM cards at this link [sprint.com] using your confirmation number and zip
But then it says There are no pending orders in our system for this confirmation number and ZIP code.
how many lines did you port?
It's been 7 hours since placing the order and receiving a "Welcome to Sprint" email, along with confirmation number and PIN. Still can't activate the sim and number isn't ported (one line). The lady on the phone actually told me to wait until 3/30 to see if it goes through but I'm not optimistic.
Doesn't seem like this issue affects the majority, but good luck to anyone getting in on this deal.
* Good thing: I ported in a number from my lapsed Visible account and it went without problems.
* Bad things:
1. The Sprint site crashed after I had filled out all the info and clicked SUBMIT. When I tried later after that, it kept saying that it couldn't complete my order online and I had to call to complete the order over the phone.
2. Because I ordered over the phone, I missed out on the $80 cb.
3. I wanted to create the 3rd account in my daughter's name, but since she never had a credit history, they couldn't pull her info from her credit file to do the "ID verification questions". Without ID verification, she can't be an account owner, had to add her as a new line in my account.
4. Because she's a new line and not a new account, she couldn't use a referral, so I missed out on her $50 as referee and my $50 as referrer.
At least the LG Stylo 4+ that I bought on HSN for $60 + shipping could be used on Sprint. I've read that it was only marketed by Boost, and I worried that I might have to use it on Boost for several months first before it could be used with Sprint directly.
If you did NOT receive a confirmation number and called telesales, you are out of luck.

you need to find a compatible phone that will pass Sprint's IMEI checker if you want to make calls

HSN doesn't mention Boost in their description, but what I''ve read/found was that the Stylo 4+ (with 32GB/3GB RAM) was only marketed by Boost. That's why I wasn't sure if it could be used directly with Sprint.
During the activation process, the rep had me do the Systems/Profile Update several times. I suspect it was to unlock it from Boost and then lock it to Sprint, because at one point the screen has a pop-up saying your phone is now locked to Sprint.

I just received the phone today fron HSN. It's in a sealed box with a Sprint SIM. Never activated before, so I just used the SIM that came with the phone. The ported number came from Visible/Verizon.

If I use the same account to port another line and buy one device, do you know if I'm still eligible for $125 cashback? Because cashback states new customer, and I'm no longer a new customer.
