First two looks good to me.

Probably you should call the number above to ask the rebate processor when they will ship out the rebate for the tracking number with this status

Status Detail: Your rebate has been entered and is scheduled for final processing.
Invalid Reasons: Your registration has hit a speedbump, please call us at 844-450-7865, Mon-Sat 8am-9pm Central


Asking for the second status probably will get a response like yup you still have to meet this requirement before they can issue you the rebate.
Thanx, I'll wait to see what other's say after calling for the 1st two but i'll def call for the last invalid activation date ones.

Your line was activated on 4/11/20. I know that people were told by Sprint that activating after 4/9 is fine as long as the order was placed by 4/9/20. But apparently Rebateshq goes strictly by the terms "Offer end 4/9/20". Sprint will have to intervene to override Rebateshq's decision.

The speed bump message is looking familiar to me...
When sprint site is crashing, I see the the following message: "We've Hit A Speed Bump!

We're sorry but there's something going on with our systems right now. Please try again, call the number at the top of the page, or chat with us."

FYI: The number they provided is sprint' promo department, not a number of third party rebate processor.

Already emailed Marci and spoke to team member over phone in April. They fixed my monthly charges for the U+ $100 promo already and assured me I qualify for the $300 per line as stated in my order confirmation email for each line

Yes, I understand that you and many other people have contacted Marci's team about the Invalid Activation Date problem. It'd be more comforting to see their assurance taking effects on Rebateshq's site.

I don't think that will happen until the rebate is denied (where we are now) and we call in and they manually overide it and process as you said before........we should be ok though imo

Please let me know how you got the bill fixed. My bill for U+ is $120 plus taxes/fees-though my order which was made on 04/08 says that I should be paying $100 per month. I've emailed "Marci" twice and received 1 call back from a rep in India, who then transferred me to a supervisor that disconnected the call after an hour with the first rep. Also, I've talked to 8 other reps and no one is willing to fix my account and they all want me to change to Unlimited basic to be able to get the $100 per month price. I'm nearing close to 8 hours of my time wasted trying to get the bill corrected and also trying to get rid of the "invalid activation date" error. It appears that I'm going to have to earn every rebate dollar with the time I'll have invested in getting this deal sorted out.

When I emailed Marci, I explained everything and also attached a pdf of my order confirmation which showed the 5 lines of U+ at $100 (promo and discount too) and also the $300 per line rebate. When a rep called me, we just went over everything and they said it would be fixed by next bill and it was fixed.
This happened to 2 of my accounts and both were fixed by the same way......good luck

Thanks for the response. Sounds like you were able to find a rep that was competent and willing to do his job to correct the issue. I may have to talk to every non-native English speaking rep before I can find someone who will do the same for me...

My rep was named "Savitha" (Indian) and so she was def a non-native English speaking.......Therefore, I don't think a non-native English speaking rep is the issue!!
Finding a Competent rep is the challenge imo.

Finally getting somewhere after another phone rep today-nothing accomplished. Then I decided to try chat again and got a rep(Sakiinah) that adjusted my bill-put in the line item"Bring/Buy Discount-Unlimited Plus -$10.00" and also said that she would have $20 credited to my account for the overcharge of my first autopay. So, the only challenge that remains is getting the "invalid activation date"/rebate denied issue corrected.

Missing Is Delinquent

What do I do?
The rebate status for my 5 lines changed to this also this morning. It showed the "Missing delinquent..." message yesterday. What the heck is going on?
Also, for those who did the BF cashback has your cashback status changed to "Payable" yet?

My 2 x $80 TC have now changed from Pending to Confirmed and all the BF still show Verified......I expect Payable for all in June & July.

I bought a Pixel 3 XL from Sprint as part of this deal. Does anyone know if there is a way to check that the phone has been unlocked other than popping another SIM in? I activated on 3/25 so I'm on day 50 exactly right now.

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.
I also purchased Pixel 3XL. I have exceeded 50 days service and called them for unlock today. CSR said it already shows unlocked. OEM unlocking is still grayed out. However, ting and xfinity mobile say my device is compatible with their service. I am yet to try another sim card though. Did your OEM unlocking status change?

I got a spare Mint Mobile SIM and popped it in and it worked fine.

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.
