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.

Do you find that the rep that returns your call from the "Marci" has no clue at all about the issue and makes you repeat all the details that you've already included in the email along with screenshots, etc?

Each time that I've sent an email, the rep that returns my call is from regular customer service and has absolutely no clue what they are doing. After multiple times being put on hold he/she gives some excuse to get me off the phone.
No. She was aware my about my issue without any explanation from my side and she started with the statement like "Your new lines are approved for $300 but please keep autopay active for 3rd bill. You will get the card after verification period which is 90 days from the activation". She also conveyed that I will confirm at backend and return call tomorrow. As said, she called on next day and said approved in backend. You will get 1 VC and 1 physical card on mid of July.

I haven't filed a complaint yet. I went through the claim process to see what kind of documents/attachments they allow. I've collected enough screenshots, chat transcripts, email to back my case.
I just checked my rebate status on both Sprint and RHQ sites.

Sprint site shows pending (instead of invalid) - Your registration is valid and is scheduled for final processing. Your card will be delivered within the next 10 business days.

RHQ site - Your rebate is valid and is scheduled for final processing.

As a refresher...

My 90th day based on activation (not rebate submission) was yesterday. That's when I got the rebate emails, the same emails that I received when I submitted the rebates initially. Based on data points from others, this was expected.

Prior to yesterday, the status on Sprint site was Pending and on RHQ site was - Your rebate has been entered and scheduled for final processing.

I had called on June 6th for status on the rebates, the lady removed the speedbump without me mentioning it at all. It seems, in hindsight, removing speedbump didn't really set for clear sailing ahead.

I called Sprint Promo dept yesterday right after they opened around 9.15am EDT. The lady reviewed the acct and checked the status on the rebates. She said she would escalate this to support folks and that I would get rebates by July 3. I asked her when would the status be updated. She said don't worry about status. They won't be updated. So after this conversation I didn't have much trust in what she said.

I called again yesterday afternoon around 4pm EDT. Similar type of conversation. Reviewed the acct and the status. She noticed the escalation the previous rep had requested and confirmed that to me. She said the status would be updated within 24 to 48 hours.

I called again today around noon EDT. Similar type of conversation as previous two. This time I asked to reach out to the support team and find out what is going on. I told her I will stay on the call as long as needed and that she doesn't need to check every 3 minutes to tell me that she is still working on it. After 10 minutes or so, she told me the rebates have been approved at the backend and that the status would be updated within 72 hours from yesterday when the escalation was requested.

I checked the status at 8pm EDT and it was still invalid. At 9pm EDT, it was showing pending. So about 36 hours from the escalation time. YMMV.

Today is the 90th day from rebate submission (and 91st from activation day).

No credit check acct.

@hpham_53 keep calling them 2 to 3 times a day. Someone will escalate it correctly and get it fixed. Good luck!!!

So far I've called Sprint Promo 4 times about my line 1 (activated 3/13, denied 6/13).
* Sat 6/13 morning: this rep sounded friendly and helpful. She said my rebate should've been approved, so she escalated it, told me to expect a status change in 2 days, and the GC around July 1st.
* Tuesday 6/16 morning: the rep was trying to check my status but the Sprint promo site was down, so he told me to call back later.
* Tuesday 6/16 afternoon: this rep was the worst, told me my line 1 doesn't qualify because I had received referral cards for it, he refused to escalate the claim. When I protested, he went to talk to someone, then came back and set a time to call me at 9AM Wednesday with some new info. He never called.
* Wednesday 6/17 afternoon: this rep sounded helpful also. He said he would escalate the case and forward it to the "card provider". He said to expect an email with a new tracking number (sounds strange), a status change in 24 hrs, and the GC around July 1st (same thing the first rep said).
I plan to call every other day (to give the status a chance to get updated) until I actually see the status changed to Valid.

The last two reps seem to just BS their way through. Makes no sense.

Just keep calling couple a times a day. Ask them that you want to talk to a supervisor, etc.

I truly hope you get this rebate sorted out. You are one of the few people who signed up right at the beginning of the promo and has helped most people in this thread. I would be quite upset and sad if they keep giving you hard time. You still have two more lines to deal with. Hang in there and keep pressing the buttons. Best of luck. I fought with them last year for over two months for my rebate. Eventually, I got the rebate.

I wonder how they are handling the folks who already had existing accts and added new lines for this promo. For the folks with new accts/lines, their assumption is that these are mostly fly by night crowd and will flee as soon as the rebates come through. They may not want to treat their existing customers with the same brush otherwise risk losing their existing lines as well.

I think they're trying to keep people from fleeing by offering this new deal: keep your existing paying lines (opened before 6/17) and get an new line free. After the way they denied all the rebates, I don't think many people will stay.

Most people with new accts will leave and existing accts will cancel the new lines.

Is the new promo just for one free line or more than one free line? Thx.

It clearly says 'credit approval required', meaning not for lines where credit was not checked, if people are still wondering.

Sounds to me like ONE free new line. Here's the link:

Fyi.. There is difference in credit check and credit approval..

Even if they did not do credit check still they gave us credit approval of 5 lines with $100 each spending limit...

Makes sense?
