Sprint WILL RELOCK your unlocked device as they did to mine. Not a single incident as friends and family of mine got their RELOCKED to the sprint network. We all had unlocked devices when signed up. Now all our phones are locked to Sprint. Thats illegal.
You have to stay for 90 days to keep the $300 and their unlock policy is 60 days, so while I agree they should not be re-locking phones, you can get it re-unlocked after 60 days and before your 90 day requirement is fulfilled.
Thanks! Ordered the BYOD Amazon SIM on Monday and was sitting on whether to switch my Iphone over. I felt a little dirty about going back to Sprint. I left them 4 years ago (after 18 years as a customer) and said I'd never go back.

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.

I got a call from someone on Marci's team tonight. She got my info and we went through the two issues (rebates and U+ wrong price) and she will be contacting the appropriate people to get some answers and call me back in a couple days. Said she hadnt heard of anyone else having this problem, then I told her my mom has the exact same two issues. :|
I ordered a phone on 4/9/20, received and activated it on 4/13/20, status showing "invalid activation date" on rebatesHQ.

As suggested by some people, I emailed [email protected] with documentation around midnight, received an acknowledgment email around 10 am, and someone from her team called around noon. She agreed that the offer is based on the purchase date, thought my submission should be fine, has dealt with one other case, will forward my information to promotions, and call me when she hears back from them.

You can see the specs of the Sprint LG Tribute Empire at the link below. Its bands and freqs are listed under Specs. I think once unlocked it should at least work with AT&T and T-mo using the UMTS (3G) freqs. It has some LTE bands 2/4/5/12/13 used by AT&T, T-mo, and Verizon, but I don't know how well they work as Roaming Bands. Perhaps someone better versed in cell phone technologies can chime in.

Is the consensus still that "Missing" anything is ok but "Invalid: anything is not ok for status on rebateshq?

Thanks. This helps to see how the phones can be made better use of. I won't be able to use the phones, since mine are a bit better. Hopefully I can unload some on Ebay or give some to my friends overseas.

Thanks.

What do we need to ask from Mint CSR when porting the # to Sprint? Mint account number ? Do we need the account password or PIN from the Mint account?

You will need both the account number and account PIN. For my account that I had with Mint, the password was random and the PIN was the last 4 of my phone number.

Yes. You need account # and pin to port from Mint mobile to sprint. Saw a DP done in Feb that if you call 8887770446 from non-mint number, follow the instructions and will receive a text about your account # and pin

Edit:
Google voice can use as your non-mint number

Thank you. Sprint site says it needs the Name and Bill address from the previous carrier when porting # to Sprint. But in my case, I don't have my name and address on file with Mint as I used the prepaid got from Bestbuy when I initially enrolled Mint program. Will that be a problem?

I got 5 lines with Sprint unlimited plus... $100 for 5 lines after all discounts.

My first bill says its $150 for 5 lines and not $100.

I have screenshots of my order page clearly showing $100, but sprint chat wont listen.

Every Sprint deal is a Waste of time these days
I have the same problem. My first bill is showing $150 for 5 lines of Unlimited Plus. I'll email Marci and let you know how it goes.

Just set up your MINT account from their website, adding name/address.
