Quote from sowhatwegetdrunk :
PDF statement still shows bill period is for Mar 17 - Apr 16, 2020

So its as if they are double charging for the first month
Its fine since Sprint bills 1 month in advance for service

Looks like they got rid of the line dates in the PDF bill -- in the past PDFs they would show the upcoming billing period for each line but now it looks like they stopped showing dates unless its prorated

My 1st bill shows 3/24-3/24 date for 3 lines $100+taxes which is meant to cover the 1st month of service (March to April)

My 2nd bill shows 3/25-4/24 date for 5 lines $100+taxes with 2 added lines/phones which is meant to cover the 2nd month (April to May)

Since I added 2 lines during the cycle then they're showing the future billing dates on those lines details

If the second bill specifically says this is for the billing period March 25 to April 24, it looks to me they are charging first month's service in the second bill, while the first bill, just being notated as first bill, covers no service period. Sprint's billing is so weird comparing to T-Mobile, which states the service period in the first bill and that is correct.

Edit:
Ok, let's make the concept of bill in advance and postpaid service clear:
Prepaid service: Bill you in advance too but you must pay before the start of your next new service period
postpaid service: Bill you in advance(bill is generated) but you have 23 /24 days to pay it.
So it is true that we used service before paying for it.

billing you early doesn't classify it as prepaid or postpaid, but the time of payment due makes the difference

Am I screwed? Getting an "Invalid Mobile Number Type" error in RebatesHQ. I was a Sprint customer before, ported out to Mint Mobile for a week-ish and ported back in to take advantage of this deal.

Probably, as I understand it you need to be away from Sprint for at least 45 days.

Sorry to hear that. Yes. Sprint numbers which are ported back within 45 days, are not eligible for any kind of new customer offers.

But very little chances are there for you since you got the msg as - "Invalid Mobile Number Type". Did you get new account number or did they map old account number?. If it is old, chances are very less.

I ported back to Sprint with in a day for BB $25 plan from free plan --> Ultra --> Back to Sprint and New customer offer promo status moved to denied with below message.

Invalid Reasons: your Sprint phone number does not qualify for this offer.

What is the status in Sprint promotion portal?.

Spoke earlier today with a rep (I think the name was Savitha) from Marci's team regarding the same $10 per line and rebate "Invalid Activation Date" issues that many others are having. Just got a follow up call to tell me that their back office confirmed I am eligible for the rebate, and that I would receive it in 13-16 weeks or so. Also said they would take care of the $10 discounts. So a positive result on this front!

Since I had someone from Marci's office on the line, I decided to ask about converting from no credit check to credit check, and whether it would affect my account number or rebates. The rep from Marci's team, as well as the next two reps I spoke with all assured me it wouldn't and notated my account accordingly, so I decided to take the plunge and have them run credit on my account. Oddly enough they didn't ask for my SSN.

I'm happy to report that my account has been successfully converted to credit-capable without any change in my account number (found using the link from the wiki). So it seems safe to run credit from the perspective of the rebates!

I got a new account number after porting back in after ~10 days. I wonder if there is a slim chance Smilie

The status detail in the RebatesHQ website says "Your rebate has been entered and is scheduled for final processing."
The status on the Sprint promotions hub tracker says "Status : Pending Your submission is currently being processed. Please check back later for your registration status"
so still hoping there is a slim chance!

On another note I had a second line on that Sprint Free BYOD promo and I also ported that out to Mint Mobile and ported back in 4 days later to take advantage of the $300 deal. That second one doesn't have any Invalid error codes. Not sure what the consensus is at this point.

Yes. There is a slim chance. In your case, new account number is valid but need to wait for validation on mobile number. For me, they mapped old ac number and same mobile number which got denied within few days.

If both lines are under same account, and all conditions are identical, resubmit rebate for the one with invalid mobile number, also when it asks for phone number of the first line eligible for rebate, enter the phone number that is activated first on account eligible for this $300 promo or use the number of the one without any invalid line items.
A rebate with invalid line item will get denial eventually, unless you contact Marci. Since you POPI within 45 days, you will not want them to look at your number's porting history to give you a denial reason. Just resubmit and see if it passes the check this time...sometimes the person who reviews the rebates made mistakes. You other line qualifies this one should qualify too. I really don't think they will check the porting history of the number when processing rebate(otherwise the free plan won't work out for ppl who POPI)

1 of my accounts got denied the CU $200 because of account type. When I opened the account I entered Credit Check but somehow it ended up a No Credit Check account........is it worth trying to get it changed or not?
I do not want to risk the $300 for the 5 lines.
Talked with someone from Marci's executive customer service team today who told me that running credit won't affect the promotion. I went ahead and had them run credit on my no credit check account, and my account number hasn't changed, so seems it's safe to have them change it. That being said I only opened one 5-line no credit check account, not both a credit check and a no credit check account.

Update:
Moved from KS$25 to UP through mail and call with Marci's team. I enrolled for WG and LMCU. After our SDers comment, I contacted Sprint Perks team through mail and requested them to remove my WG and requested to enable only LMCU. It was completed yesterday and today my first line which was moved from KS to UP, approved today for LMCU. Ported in new number is still in pending status.

Note - If you have enrolled for WG and LMCU, only one perks will be approved. Based on your decision (WG $200 or LMCU $200 Cash deposit), take immediate action to make one perks active on your account. If you have submitted both, they will be rejected because of two enrollment.

You are eligible for Sprint perks because of CC account. If you have U+ or UPremium, Go ahead and apply for WG or LMCU.

I called Sprint and did the same today and although the rep said I didn't need to resubmit for the LMCU $200......I went ahead and resubmitted as my 30 days from activation is up on 4/30/20.
My Sprint account number did not change after but the CU reward showed up on my account within a few hours ApplauseApplause
