This is what I am thinking to do, if Sprint does not send me the bonus $300 x 4 BYOD from Tmobile and Safelink, I probably will file a class action against Sprint.
Yes this is what needs to happen

I just called the 7865 number and the lady told that the denial reason is due to the device I got and she kept saying that the rule is to either bring a phone from one of the carriers or get a phone which is purchased at full price from Sprint store to be eligible for this BYOD offer. She is going to check with her superiors and come back to me in a day.
If I am not going to get the $300 promos for stupid reasons, I am unnecessarily paying $80+ per month for 2 lines which I could have taken from a MVNO for cheap. Mad. Anyone think this would be waste of more money and better to leave without loosing more ?

DP:
Ported from FreedomPop (AT&T network), activated first Kickstart line on 3/15, registered 3/18. Phone was from Google Fi + free sim card from Sprint corporate store.

Today tracking status changed to "Denied, sales location is not eligible" for both RHQ and Sprint Reward Center. Called 844.450.7865, agent said that the rebate is still pending, even though the status shows denied. He then manually processed it and said that I should expect the card by June 29. Status still shows denied.

Have a second Kickstart line maturing in a few days, will see how things work with that one.
Status changed two days after calling:

First line:
RHQ message: Your rebate is valid. Please allow up to 30 days to receive your rebate.
Sprint promo hub: Your registration is valid and is scheduled for final processing. Your card will be delivered within 7 business days.

Second line, submitted March 24: Speedbump message disappeared from RHQ without any intervention from my side. Will see what happens after 90 days mark.

When I chatted with BF rep, I was told cards would not take more than 90 days fro my purchase.
Yeah but BF reversed by pending payment for no reason. Said it was reversed by Sprint. Its now "Pending Investigation" status which will likely last until I am gone from Sprint - so I'm S.O.L, and if my rebates get denied I will be in the negative

This is ridiculous. FU sprint
The problem is Sprint does not give a Fluck because they are essentially ceasing to exist and will roll into TMO. Now that TMO owns them FU T-Mobile!

Ppl who activated before 4/9 got denial on 90th day, while ppl who activated after 4/9 got denial earlier than 90th day...

How do you get agent that process rebate? Everytime I call it seems the agent just says, give it the full time. I activated after the 9th but it does not seem like I should wait for 90 days before I get something done.

I just called 844-382-3312 and got passed on to the Promo Dept. This rep read the note that was put in there by a previous rep last Sat. He then went to talk to someone and came back to tell me that my $300 GC is being denied because the offer cannot be combined with another promo and I got the referral rewards with this line. I told him that the referral rewards have nothing to do with this and Sprint is just looking for excuses to deny these $300 GCs. I told him that many people on the Internet are unhappy with these denials and are ready to file a lawsuit. He went to talk with someone again, then came back and told me they'll call me tomorrow.
If Sprint doesn't approve my $300 GCs, I'll file a complaint with the FCC and the Consumer Protection Division of our Attorney General Office. I live in Kansas which is where Sprint has its HQ. The Kansas AG loves to go after big corporations to fine them.
I have made five attempts to fix a referral issue between me and my wife. The fifth time I spoke to a rep I was assured it would be "escalated" and he confirmed I have already received a $50 card for being referred in by an SDer. I will go ballistic if my attempts to follow up on my referral bonus ends up being grounds to deny me my 2x$300 cards. I would appreciate clarity on why the standing referral program would preclude participation in time-limited promotional offers.

PS - three business days later my promised escalation resulted in exactly zero evidence that my wife and I will end up receiving the referrer/referee cards, so I have to debate following up for the SIXTH time.

Are people having issues getting the 5 unlimited plus lines for $100 + tax? I'm seeing ~175/month on my account.

Thanks for the info. For the people who got invalid for activating after 4/9, the invalid reason was activated outside the offer. But not the sales location crap...that appears more to be random.

Did the people that are now getting "Denied" status, have either "speedbump" or "Missing is Delinquent" messages or was it something else while rebate was pending?

When did you last talk to Sprint Promo?
Last spoke to a rep on Friday, 06/12. Error messages cleared on Monday afternoon. Monday night, I received both invalid sales location and outside of activation date messages (activated and submitted rebate on 04/10).

Tuesday evening, checked both websites again to receive the excellent news

today is my 90th or 91st day since the line was activated, the status changed to "Your registration was denied because the sales location of the number you registered is not eligible for this offer."

I called 8444507865 (that's the number when the status still showed speedbump last night), he said don't worry about it, I will receive my rebate by July 1st.

Did they escalate for approving it manually? They have to and then status much change within 72 hours for you to get the rebates. Otherwise, it is all BS.

I wouldn't rest until the status on the Sprint tracking site changes to Valid - Wait 30 days.
