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.

Interpret that as you like, but clearly the foolproof option is to go with phone numbers that have never been activated on Sprint.
Just kidding, the reason that people are steered to credit check account is that allows Sprint to lease them expensive phones. Leasing is far more lucrative than outright sale of devices or BYOD. The marginal cost of having someone on their network is close to nil. The profits come from leasing, insurance, other services, etc., which are more attractive to buy on credit.
1. Because the order was placed over the phone and that process doesn't know about the $300 GC offer. When I asked the rep if adding a line qualifies, he didn't know anything about that offer. I had to give him the offer code 300BYOD313 before he found it. He told me that adding a line qualifies, but we all know that what a rep says doesn't hold much water.
2. Because the offer requires one to be a NEW CUSTOMER, and technically when you add a line to an existing account you're not a new customer.
Based on what aznshorty said (even his over-the-phone order for his 1st line did not mention the $300 GC offer), I think #1 is the likely reason.
Last year, I had a line dormant (no SIM in phone) for six months and it was never de-activated, until I called to close it, so YMMV.

Yep. They might close an inactive FREE line to get out of the obligation, but an inactive paying line is a cash cow.
The deal terms only say BYOD, but I don't think I remember seeing anything about needing to Port an existing number.
You need to take a closer look at the terms. It says Porting Required. See screenshot below.
I called the porting department, and all lines were ported after waiting, call took about 20 minutes.
CSR wouldn't give account number so I can register online and he transfered me to the 888-211-4727 deppartment.
I was able to register using the phone number, pin.
no to register for all the rebates & cashback!
