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 have the same issue, I am on unlimited basic. Was considering upgrading to plus and calling them to fix. Any idea if it will work?
It should work but the gain is depended on how many lines you have. I submitted the C.U. registration and was told I needed to upgrade to U+. I currently have two Kickstart lines and the total monthly cost is 2 x $40 (after taxes & fees). If I upgrade them to U+, it'll be around $140 after taxes & fees. Paying $60 more per month for 2-3 months to get $200 C.U. bonus just isn't worth the hassle for me. So I'll just leave everything as is.

Even I had 5 lines on basic, later I upgraded only 2 lines to plus and submitted rebate and my rebate is approved.

One more thing, even though chat rep told that for upgrading to plus, it's $10/line, however my bill doesn't show extra charges. So both basic and plus are same price.

I have 5 lines on unlimited plus and no credit check account. Does it worthwhile to change to credit check account and apply for Walgreens perks ? Many thanks for any input.

If you think you can compromise on one hard credit check to gain additional $200, go head.

I personally went for it.

But before converting, check the terms. I am not sure within how many days you can apply for CU/Walgreens, as I remember someone said that we have to apply within 30 days, so before converting to Credit check (if you thinks it's worth), cross verify terms.

I applied for the CU bonus and received the following email. My take on that email is that you have 30 days from when you applied (not 30 days from account opening) to upgrade. I don't know about the Walgreens deal.

I read it as if you make changes to plan/account within 30 days of registration, you don't need to fill out the form again....but the point is how long do you still considered a new customer to sprint...because only new customers get the $200 and existing customer get sprint perks at anniversary date

My second bill is ready to view online.

I figure this is the way to understand the bill,

There are two sets of dates, one is for billing cycle, one is for service cycle.

Postpaid carriers bill one month in advance for current service period, but give 24 days to pay for the service after bill is generated.

for service cycle lasting from May 3rd to June 2nd, its billing cycle is April 3rd to May 2nd, Payment due date is May 26th, 24 days after billing cycle's end date.

So basically it is paying the service days of 5/3/20 to 6/2/20 on 5/26/20
(Billing you one month in advance for current service period, postpaid= pay after you used service)

Sprint only tells billing cycle, unless you make changes to plan.

So first bill is for first service period second bill is second service period. They are not charging the first month of service twice.

4/3-5/2 first service cycle
5/3-6/2
6/3-7/2
7/3-8/2 4th service cycle, bill is available on 7/6 with billing cycle dated 6/3 to 7/2, due on 7/26

If cancel service within the 4th service period(7/3 to 8/2) final bill with billing cycle dated 7/3 to 8/2 will have a balance due of $0 because this billing cycle covers service period from 8/3 to 9/2.

Thanks for the input. I am hesitated because I am not sure what date is accounted for the change. I think it is $400, not $200, as I understand you have max 2 lines for the perk bonus, $200 for each line. Thanks

I had exact same doubt as you. I decided that it wasn't worth it at this point. Because if everything goes OK (which seems the case) this deal is already highly profitable. All my lines are going to be cancelled as soon as I receive the rebates.
So, going through credit check for additional $200 wasn't worth it. I'd rather not have my SSN at all with them.
Plus, as others said, most likely at this point you'll not receive $200 immediately, only in one year. Big NO! (Sprint won't be around in one year...).

Emailing Marci means that you will get a callback from a random rep at 888-211-4727. After speaking/chatting with multiple reps, I'm still waiting for my bill to be adjusted. Please post here with your results..
