If only Sprint would use an error reason that makes more sense.

Is this looking familiar to you? No true reasons other than poor IT.

Yep, I got that screen when the online order for my line 3 failed. I can see "speedbump" being used to describe something that stopped progress. But "ineligible sales location" being used for a variety of reasons doesn't make sense.

Everything that prevents the rebate from getting approved automatically will ultimately become "ineligible sales location"

Of their only 5 bullets FAQ section on the sprint rebate site, they specifically have this question answered:


"I received a message that my reward was not purchased from a qualifying location.

Please review the rules of the promotion and confirm that the card was purchased at a qualifying location. If you purchased a qualifying card at a participating location, please contact us and we'll help resolve the issue."

I would rather have them keep the original invalid messages such as "out of activation period" or "ineligible port in", than this "ineligible sales location" that tells nothing

You know, sprint wasn't being clear/specific on DAY 1.

Yes; call was for all five, but only three were affected (in a positive way) by it.

I am thinking these lines were expedited, hence me getting them sooner than expected. I think the standard is waiting minimum 90 days after submission.

I suggest keeping a close eye on all submissions. When I called the 844 number today, there was no wait. I suspect they will be fielding a lot more calls in the coming weeks.
My 90th day is today. Still waiting for someone to answer phone.

That's correct. Calling before the 90 day mark is a hit or miss. I called before the 90 day mark and was told that everything is looking good and just have to wait for the eligibility period to pass. But others have had success in getting the rebate processed / expedited. It doesn't hurt to try before the 90 day period, but would caution against over-doing it
Same case for me, paid the 3rd month bill, called promo department and was told have to wait for 13-15 weeks. The registration looks good and they cannot do anything on it.

Okay, I was not as lucky as you. Erica from the Promotion Dept just updated my information so that I can receive the bonus. However, I have to wait a bit longer because the system erroneously denied me from the get go.

Yes, by a week. It would have been 3 of 5 but USPS has lost/misplaced the third card.

Decide to call Sprint Promo Dept after seeing @hpham_53 post that he got denied automatically after reaching 90 days. This would be for my first account reaching 90 days this coming Saturday. Call this morning and now RHQ shows "Your rebate has been entered and is scheduled for final processing." clearing the speedbump on all lines. Hopefully by Saturday it will switch to "Your rebate is valid. Please allow up to 30 days to receive your rebate."

All I can say is whoever you get when calling and how helpful they are will either expedite your request or not and will create an Interaction Confirmation # of the call so whenever/if you call again, the reps can see their notes. 1st account rep cleared speedbump. 2nd and 3rd account, reps never cleared speedbumps but saw I had previously called and they just reiterated what the previous rep placed on notes to allow 13-15 weeks of wait.

I called last Saturday and talked to rep who seemed to be informed and helpful. She said she approved and expedited my rebate. I'm perturbed that no status change on Sprint web site and RHQ yet. Still show denied. I probably will have to call again on Tuesday.

This is the what I went through with my 3rd account activated on 4/11. Still shows speedbump and denied on HQ and pending on Sprint Hub. I called a week later for the smae 3rd account but was told to actually wait 90 days and on my 91st day to call back if no changes on Sprint hub. Your case you have already fulfilled all requirements. Recently I had to email [email protected] because one of my referral never showed up. It was then that i found out that Sprint Promo Dept only approves MasterCard GCs and vendor Prepaid Reward Cards at 855-512-5929 is who actually sends the physical and virtual cards.
