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.

Monday is a holiday. Maybe later in the week I'll send a message to "Marci," just to make sure I've done everything I can on my end.
I don't know if you have been reading previous posts but Marci's team is dead post T-Mobile merger. You will just get forwarded to regular customer service.

So when are we getting $50 thing.. Its almost 2months since we opened account but nothing received..
Anyone else received update or the card itself?
Agreed - my confidence in the plan will increase if the more basic aspects such as referral bonuses start flowing through. I was a bit of a chicken and only did two Kickstarter lines. It is still likely to be an MM for me at that level. I will be at breakeven once the CB sites and referral bonuses pull through. The 2x300 will be the ideal incentive for trying Sprint - service in Northern NJ is still less than ideal but nowhere near as bad as it was when I tried it 25 years ago. A discount on T-Mobile 5G layercake would serve me best for the long term but that doesn't look viable until later this year at the earliest.

But are you getting denied message on rebatehq?


---------
Here's what I see on rebateshq website:

Promotion: Bring your own phone $300 Port-in Offer, 3/13/20-4/9/20. New customers bringing their own device & porting a number to Sprint can receive a $300 Prepaid MasterCard with eligible plan.
Submission Type: PAPERLESS
Date Received: 04-10-2020
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.
Missing Is Delinquent
Your registration was denied because the phone number you registered was not activated during the offer period.

Here's what I see on Sprints Promo tracker website:

Status : Pending
Your submission is currently being processed. Please check back later for your registration status.

Promotion name :
Bring your own phone $300 Port-in Offer, 3/13/20-4/9/20. New customers bringing their own device & porting a number to Sprint can receive a $300 Prepaid MasterCard with eligible plan.
Submit date :
04/10/2020

I've called customer service and they just tell me to wait until I see denied on the Sprint website and then call in. I think that will force me to wait more months to get the rebates-and my goal is to cancel/port out these lines as soon as possible. I ordered the phones on 04/08, received and activated them on 04/09.

If your first bill has billing cycle dated 4/8/20 to to 4/8/20, then you have active service on 4/9, if first bill dated 4/9/20 - 4/9/20, then you activated on 4/10, the first bill is backdated b/c their billing policy is to bill in advance.....if you were the one among the group of not receiving the $10 bring/buy discount automatically, then you are highly likely seeing the denied message on the rebateshq.

This is the right procedure of doing nothing when rebate is still under pending bc they are not sure if it gets approved or denied later, but we all know that ppl who activated after 4/9 will see denied/invalid on sprint site eventually and need manual approval.
My first bill is dated Apr 09 - Apr 09. So, it seems that I will need to keep contacting Sprint until they manually approve my rebates.

Did you activate late at night on 4/9? Probably a time zone difference

If your first bill has 4/9-4/9 date on the website then you activated on 4/10 according to system -- the first bill date is backdated by one day

I ordered BYOD service on 3/25 and activated it same day -- my first bill shows 3/24-3/24 (day before) which covers my 3/25-4/24 service

Info for Sprint Pixel 3 XL users:
After contacting Sprint Customer Care last week, when they told me that they have unlocked the phone. Today I got a System Notification in the phone that the Carrier lock has been removed. OEM Unlocking option has been enabled.
So I think after Sprint Customer Care unlocks these phones, it takes few days to receive this notification.

I have, on four of five lines. All five have the speedbump message.

I've read here to not contact Sprint until the status on Sprint's site says denied. So I am following that advice because I'm very lazy.

I have already received $200 WG gc, as well as $200 CU cash bonus.

BTW, all my lines were activated by the end of March.
I thought WC and CU are not stackable.
Apart from $300 BYOD we can claim either WC or CU only not both.
How did you manage to get both WC and CU?

My preowned LG Empire was unlocked on the 50th day when I pressed the UICC Unlock option. I had to chat on the 51st day to get Sprint to unlock my Sprint-branded LG Stylo 4+ bought new on HSN.

I have a few Sprint referrals. Do I have to be an active customer to get my cards?
