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.

Although I expect to make money with it, I don't really recommend it because:
* The number of max $250 GCs per account had been reduced from 10 to 2.
* AT&T cancelled about 50% of orders with a silly explanation "We couldn't verify this order 23-xxxxxxxxxxxxx really came from you. For your security, we canceled it", even when people had called AT&T E-comm to confirm that they placed the order.
* They will do a hard pull on your credit file. If your order is cancelled, you wasted a hard pull for nothing.
* Lots of billing errors (order for one plan with multiple lines got split into multiple plans causing higher costs, bills not generated, autopay credit not applied, etc) which require calling or chatting to get them straightened out.
* No clear indication that the $250 GC offer was applied to your order. Have to rely on a rep's words that it was applied.

Today I wanted to buy an item on Ebay that's about $75. I couldn't checkout using multiple GCs, so I added two to my Paypal account and use them to buy Ebay GCs. When I tried to buy a $50 Ebay GC with a Sprint GC, it kept failing. Then I remember someone mentioning that you have to leave some money in the card. So I changed the amount to $49 (had to be a whole dollar amount) and it went through. I used the 2nd Sprint GC to buy a $26 Ebay GC, then used both Ebay GCs to pay for my item.
* Sprint automatically unlocks it on their end after 51 (?) days.
* On your phone, go into System Updates. Initially the UICC Unlock info will say "This phone is locked to a Sprint SIM only".
* Touch the UICC Unlock and it will try to unlock the phone. If it's successful, the phone will reboot, and the UICC Unlock will now say "The device is unlocked for any SIM card".
If it's unsuccessful, and your phone had been in service for more than 51 days, Chat with a Sprint rep and the rep will pass you on to a tech that will do the unlock on their end.
