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.

Well, if it doesn't clear after the 3rd payment, call them to escalate the rebate so like other ppl (tryCatchDealException and YamahaRick) you will get it within your 3rd month, so no need to pay for the 4th month of service hopefully (offer terms state it takes 13-15 wks to receive the rebate cards under normal process)
Have you called? Does your rebates have speedbump message? Missing is delinquent if No CC acct? Thx

No I picked up 3 T-Mobile starter kits for $0.99 each on Black Friday a few years back. I figured at some point I would be using T-Mobile, and I didn't want to pay the $12 each later. Now if I can just find that darn things! Yeah I read some of the complaints about mint and I think I will go to T-Mobile route.
T-Mobile SIM card normally expires in 2-3 years and you must activated the SIM card with service before expiration. I just did the TMo $200 BYOD deal and the SIM cards shipped by T-Mobile have an expiration date in Jan 2023. So this is likely your SIM cards expired if you purchased them >3 yrs.

Can you double check the end date of your free 1 yr plan? I believe you can find this info on your most recent sprint bill....I also believe everyone has a united end date for the free 1 yr, which usually ends on end of the month. Eg, ppl in this deal activated service on a different date but we all will have the promotional plan rate (3rd 4th and 5th line free) expires on 4/30/21.

The easiest way to check the end date of your promo is to download the sprint app, log in via app, then it will display one of your devices, click on the three dots in vertical (it is under the plus sign to add a new device) and select "view plans and addons" and you will see the expiration date of the promotional plan rate

Does your sprint service cycle ends on the 9th of each month or 10th of each month...

Is this $300? I thought you activated yours on 3/31? How come your rebate is valid even it's less than 90 days?
Because he received the final invalid message(ineligible sales location) on his rebate and called in to escalate and had the sprint rebate team manually approved the rebates)

Just a few questions to see if Sprint and rebateshq are still processing referrals:
1. Has anyone received any congrats email AFTER 5/28 from Sprint for successful referrals ?
2. Most people received the referral cards on Monday 6/1. Did anyone receive a referral card after 6/3 ?
3. Does anyone see any changes AFTER 5/28 on rebateshq regarding their referral cards?
4. Did anyone receive more congrats email for successful referrals than the number of cards they've actually received?
Thanks in advance for your responses.

I'm in the same situation. Just checked the website today to see it's been updated. I referred my mom but it is showing "unsuccessful" in the referral site. I sent in an email in the referral contact site, let's see if I hear back. This would have been $50 (for my mom as the referree) and $50 (me as the referrer)
Update:

I sent over an inquiry in the referral Contact Us page, this was their response:

Hi [my name],
We are emailing you in response to your request.
Thanks for checking on the status of your Sprint Referral Reward.
Your referral to [mom's name] is currently being reviewed. Once activation is verified, we'll update your Referral History online and notify you by email if you qualify for the $50 Reward Card(s).
Go to sprint.com/referral for more program information.
We appreciate your participation in the Sprint Referral Rewards program!


so a non-answer. lol. I will keep waiting and posting updates as they go.

Just checking in to see if you called?
Just now I called and it was somewhat positive. After verified my PIN, immediately she said your two MC prepaid cards are in verification period and it will be delivered on or before 17th July. I asked about Pending status and she mentioned that it will be moved to In Progress soon but she didn't mention about when. IMO, it is better to call and know the current status. No changes in Rebates as well as Sprint promotion site. Will check and update.

Edit- I hope, she referred Verification period as 3rd bill payment. Till now two payments paid and next bill due on 4th July. It clearly shows that after 3rd payment, if we call them, they will immediately switch the flag and move the status to In Progress.

Yes, my cards are shipped on 6/5, so once I get card, I will jump to Xfinity (if I don't get any better deal by 6/30, as my 4th bill generates on 01st Jul)...

You paid $10 for the TMo SIM kit for the BYOD promo. The 99c SIM kit from the past doesn't last 2-3 years. Mine lasted 15 months.

I tried that form twice and they kept telling me to wait until my wife's line was active 30 days - I kept pointing out she is OVER 60 DAYS but no intelligence in any reply - simply "wait thirty days." I told them an "unsuccessful" status was set as of 5/28. I've tried chat, this contact page twice, and a call to CS over 611 with no update when promised as of 6/8/2020.

I got two congrats emails, but no status was shown up on rebateshq and I didn't get the cards. Contacted help twice. The first response doesn't make sense and it said my cards were mailed out on 5/8 which will take 6 weeks to deliver. The second response looks correct and it figured out my phone number attached to my referral profile got ported out. That's why they cannot fulfill my rewards cards. Just replied with an active phone number and account number and wait for update.

Edit: Just got reply from help rep and my new phone number got updated to the profile. They will verify my referral status manually and send update to me later.

The regular price of these 99 cents sim kit is $10 before discounts...the expiration date will differ depending on the production batch... look at the back of original package of the sim kit, and look for copyright there should be a year next to it, it is likely the year the sim is manufactured....
