So it is possible to get Walgreens and CU but I would have to switch to credit check and Unlimited +/basic? Then it would be $400- $400. Neither are eligible with KS ?
Only Yamaharick reported that he got approved both. Many of us got the mail saying select any one perks. If you are planning to move U+, try to submit both. No harm on it. For KS, no perks benefits.

It doesn't affect the $300 rebate. You have to have a post paid account.

If you received the WG bonus, you may not get the CU bonus. I think I got very lucky, applying for the CU four weeks after WG, but within the first 30 days of Sprint service.
What is the CU bonus? I didn't do WG. I'm on the Unlimited Basic plan but I signed up for Sprint on 4/6/20

CU - Credit U rewards - $100/per line and max $200. Unlimited Basic is not eligible for Sprint Perks.

Did they run your credit and then they approved to transfer. They did the same for me and told me I need to go to the store, I really don't want to since it's pandemic season
Yeah, they were able to do everything over the phone for me. Took like 30 seconds once I was finally connected to the credit check people. Didn't even ask for my SSN, surprisingly enough.

I don't know what issue they're having with your account; I would also not have gone into store had they asked me to go at this time.

Quote from bkumar314 :

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!

You are eligible for Sprint perks because of CC account. If you have U+ or UPremium, Go ahead and apply for WG or LMCU.
Quote from Caliguy1965 :
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

Are those converting from NON CC to CC accounts doing so just for the $200 (do your 4 months on Sprint and then bolt). . .or is anyone doing this with longer term Sprint goals in mind/hopes?

i.e. does anyone think TMO will honor a $100 a month for 5 lines of Basic, Plus, or Premium (with Sprint Perks) that has a promo period end date, to be honored for 3 years or anything longer than the 4.30.2021 stated end date, after Sprint ceases to exist?

My 4 months aren't over until August 9th, so I think I will call in and try to get transitioned to CC (without hard pull). Nothing to lose. But planning a refi soon (and just financed a new truck) so not doing it just for the $200 with a pull.

Toying with this vs. waiting for 4 cheap BB sprint phones to get down to zero + $30 activation. . .with $25 KS plans. At least that doesn't have an end date for them to deny long term. Sprint is ok here, but TMO is really good (oddly VZW is the dog here), so either of these two ideas I would consider.

I converted to CC because I originally started opening a CC account online and then got a message to complete by phone at the end.......the rep must have completed as a No CC account even after me asking questions
I wanted the CC for the LMCU $200 and also i'm only in this for the $300 per line rebate then closing the accounts.
I am already with t-mobile with a SC Unlimited account with 6 voice lines & 1 tablet line for $120 + taxes monthly.......never going to let that go.

Have people started unlocking their devices or are we waiting to get the 300$ card first before requesting the unlock?

Got a response from customer care (marci forwarded to them) that rebatehq is 3rd party and they are unable to request to update their status (i am showing invalid activation date). Asked to check www.SprintPromotionsHub.com

Should we wait it out? Or has anyone been able to get the invalid activation date error fixed in rebateshq?

Reached out to Marci team last week, a customer service rep Jackie called me back and confirmed that my rebate is still good to go despite the error message on Rebates HQ says "Invalid Mobile Number Type". She said there is probably something wrong internally with the website and that I do not have to worry. She also confirmed that I will receive my rebate in 12-16 weeks.
