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.

Things that I have already tried:
1) I tried Googling and none of the results I found were helpful for the Pixel 3
2) I tried checking for the "UICC Update" button under About > Phone > Update but there no such thing on the Pixel 3 UI
3) I tried checking using the Ting BYOD and it says "Balance Owed" ting.com/mobile/check_device
4) I tried chatting with customer service and it took them an hour to come back and tell me that they took my request but it wouldn't be done until the end of the billing cycle ???
I'm on KickStarter, if that makes a difference.
However, the OEM unlock thing is still greyed out for me. So, there doesn't appear to be any reliable way to confirm that a Pixel is unlocked other than just trying a different SIM. I never got an unlock notification on my phone or anything.
My Sprint-branded LG Stylo 4+ bought on HSN was put into service on 3/27. Today is the 50th day and when I used the same method it didn't work (said to contact the carrier). It'll try it again tomorrow. If it still doesn't work, I'll have to contact Sprint.
Got the speed bump call this number message on rebatehq for the $300 rebates. Hopefully that just means they are about to send them out. Still shows as pending on the sprint offer site.
referrals still pending
Kind of sick of rebates now.

Unlocking requirements
Sprint Postpaid Devices
Sprint will unlock a device from Sprint's network under the following circumstances:
The device is SIM Unlock capable
The device must be or have been active on the Sprint network for a minimum of 50 days
Any associated Service Agreement (or any Minimum Service Term, where applicable), Installment Billing Agreement, or Lease Agreement has been fulfilled including, but not limited to, payment in full of any applicable: 1) early termination fees, 2) accelerated installment or lease payments, and/or 3) end-of-lease purchase options. Because leased devices are not owned by the user, the end of lease purchase option must be exercised and paid in full before the SIM unlock is completed.
The associated account is in good standing
The device has not been reported as lost or stolen, associated with fraudulent activity, or otherwise flagged as ineligible to be unlocked
For SIM unlock-capable devices (generally most devices launched after February 2015), Sprint will automatically unlock postpaid devices when they becomes eligible.
I think they automatically unlock those bought from them but not byod.

I am waiting since the official sprint site still shows as pending.
