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.

I bought a SIM card from sprint when I activated a new line and still received denied status today. So I think it's something else, not because of sims purchased from best buy
I agree. One of my lines is a Sprint phone bought new on HSN. I activated on 3/27, initially it was denied due to Invalid Activation Date (I filed another claim) but now it's changed to sales location not eligible.

Quote from kenpet :
It seems the sales location info in the rebate status is referring to where one purchased the SIM card. This was somewhat of a mystery till now, but it seems it is referring to where you got the SIM card from. Initially, the thinking was whether the line was activated over the phone or at third party location, etc., and not online. But it seems more clear now as to what the sales location info was referring to.

I am glad that i got the SIM card for my Moto E6 from Sprint store (free) and not Best Buy. Wouldn't want this headache. There is already enough anxiety in life with recurring layoffs at work.

Not sure how this will impact people who used SIM kit from Amazon.
Even I had same invalid message, and Sprint promo rep said, for some reason all 5 rebate had same phone number registered....rep fixed it for me, and I received all my 300 rebate cards within8 days of fixing......So Call Sprint promotion team, they will fix and approve the rebate...

when was your activation date?
I opened a new account on March 13th and ported in from att prepaid (eBay) on March 15th after receiving the new sim from sprint. My rabate status was updated today with denied status. So I called sprint, they updated the registration and told me I'll get my MasterCard on July 3rd. I already paid 3 months of services. I don't know if I should cut the loss and cancel sprint because sprint data is suck. I'm afraid my rebate will get denied on July 3 and sprint re-submit again and ask me to wait until August. I believe Sprint purposely denied the rebates so they don't have to pay.

My first account was activated on 3/27 so I guess I'll deal with it in 2 weeks.

I have the same worry as you, that we will have to pay an extra month or 2 before we get our rebates fixed. I'd recommend not canceling now, keep fighting for it.

Update:
The regular rep called me back as promised, then transferred me to a rep who handles rebates. She said the error was due to a problem in their system. She updated my claim to expedite the $300 GC and said I should receive it by July 1st. I'll be checking Sprint and rebateshq site in the next couple of days to see if anything changes.

I also have line 3 in this account but it was activated on 3/27. She said it has not been active for 13 weeks yet, so she couldn't approve it. I'll have to wait 2 more weeks.

Contacted the customer service posted on the rebateshq (1- 844-450-7865) regarding the sales location number denial. They informed me that the phone was purchased at a discounted price and that's the reason the rebate was denied. I explained that it was BYOD and it has nothing to do with discounted price phone. After few minutes hold, she informed that she approved my rebate and it should updated within few hours.I didn't know whether to believe the rebate service rep or not. She also informed that I should expect my rebate card by July 3rd.I activated my service on March 13, 2020.Lets see how sprint plays with that rebate.

Some people got a rep to approve their rebates early, but usually they make you wait until 13 weeks after activation to make a final decision. When was your line activated?

You have to wait until July 24 at the latest because that's 15 weeks from your activation date (according to your earlier post). The terms say 13-15 weeks after activation

Good option. Thanks. Is it easy to get the account no and PIN from TracFone during port out?.
It asks for safepass code at checkout through sms. But Looks like it only works for registered phone number. Anyone has any luck getting pass that for new customer who don't have registered number with them ?
