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.

I have several LG tribute empire from this deal, just wondering if I request unlock in 50 days, can this phone be used any other carriers, cdma or gsm system ? also internationally? Any idea? Thanks.
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.

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.
