Cashback sites track through your click from their page to the stores website and you make that purchase within a set time frame, be it 30 or 60 minutes. If done properly, it will show in your CB account usually within 15 minutes and certainly within 48 hours at most. You will also get an email confirmation but lately, not always. My CB showed pending in my account within 15 minutes but I received no email.

Hope that clears that up for you.
TX but I know the process.my question is I have sim already and no compatible device.. can I combine with cb site if I make my account via customer care

It's per line. I asked them.
Thanks. I signed up for 5 lines. Hopefully, I will get $400.
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.

Requested the port in 1 hour ago. But can not activate the sim card. Anyone can help?

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.
Quote from swammer :
try calling the 800 number in wiki

how many lines did you port?
I'm in the same situation. I first contacted chat and they had me call. I called and after an hour of going nowhere on the phone, they told me to try chat again. This time chat tells me my account is on "reserve" and all I can do is wait.

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.

This evening I ported-in my 3rd number to Sprint. It went much worse than I had planned.
* 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.

I finished the entire order on the web and received a confirmation number.

If you did NOT receive a confirmation number and called telesales, you are out of luck.
TX.. can I give any applicable random IMEI no of phone which is not with me for web order and activate sim.. do they verify if sim need to be in phone? Also how can I use the sim to use for calls if I don't find any compatible phone

you can 'activate' an IMEI even if you don't have the physical phone.

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

Will the first virtual IMEI activated phone be locked if I activate on sprint now even if it's active with different network or it need to b sim free...Can I change to different IMEI later on without any issue? How to ask Sprint to change since it is activated in virtual IMEI.

Here's the link to the HSN Stylo 4+ on slickdeals. (although it shows expired, that just means the price went back to $79.99 from $69.99 (I used a $10 OFF code for new customer).
https://slickdeals.net/f/13929146-sprint-lg-stylo-4-6-2-hd-smartphone-3gb-ram-32gb-with-ifrogz-earbuds-hsn-69-99-free-shipping-59-99-with-hsn-new-customer-coupon?src=SiteSearchV2_SearchBarV2Algo1

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 called 844-229-9564 per the error screen. Talked to a rep who works at their call center in Manila. Very nice guy. The call lasted 1.5 hr due to the issues that I mentioned in my earlier post, but he was very patient. He confirmed that the device qualifies for a BYOD $300 GC. Again, none of the packaging/marketing info mentioned Boost.

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.

I already have a line with Sprint (BYOD one week ago). Ported and activated.
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.
