Just as an update about 30 hours ago I called the 844 450 7865 number after reaching day 93 with an invalid note on the rebates. A woman escalated the claim for me without any struggle in about 15 minutes total for the call.Tonight the claim is showing as valid! Woo-hoo. Upset I had to call but looks like a happy ending in sight. I received referrals already so that shouldn't be a cause for denial.

Still trying to get tcb to pay but if that doesn't work out I am still way ahead.

91 days is a bump

Called 17th for 2 denied, other 3 in 20/24/27 are pending, the rep escalate and this morning 2 change to valid, but the same time, 1 @ 20th change to denied! Will it change back to valid or I have to make another call?

What's a weird system!

There are some positive developments with my rebates but I don't really know what's going on.
My account has two lines:
*Line1 activated on 3/13, submitted on 3/15. Prior to the 90 days, everything looked good. Got denied on 6/13 and I've been calling about it with no luck. Still shows denied on Sprint and RHQ sites.
*Line 3 activated on 3/27, submitted on 3/27, let's call it Claim 3a. On 4/11, I saw on RHQ that Claim 3a had Invalid Activation Date so I resubmitted the claim using the same info, got a new tracking number, let's call it Claim 3b.
Claim 3a had been sitting since 4/11 with Denied - Invalid Activation Date then on 6/7 it changed to Denied - Ineligible Sales Location. I didn't pay much attention to it because it's "dead".
Claim 3b had been sitting with Speedbump and Missing Is Delinquent. I checked on it now and then because it won't reach the 90th day until 6/27.

OK, here comes the puzzling part...
Claim 3a now show as Valid and scheduled for final processing. Expect card in next 10 business days.
Claim 3b is still Pending, waiting for final processing.

So, after my calls, did Sprint Promo approved claimed 3a instead of claim 1 by mistake? Claim 3a was already denied back in 4/11, and Claim 3b won't reach Judgement Day until 6/27.
Congrats!!! Hope you get your two cards for your acct. Whether it is 1 and 3b, or 3a and 3b ...just take the money and run. It is puzzling how these rebates are being managed.

If so then TracFone for $2.50 for 30 days plan is cheaper. Go to TracFone. Click shop, select bring your own phone, then select network you want ( ATT, T-Mobile, or Verizon) add SIM to cart, then select $15 plan. At check out enter promo code 60274 then click apply code. Total would be $.99 plus tax ( for me the total come out at $2.50 ). Only one order at a time ( one SIM and one plan ). If you want to order more than one use incognito browser. Each time you done with an oder open a new incognito browser and do the same again for the next SIM and so on.
Is the promo still available?

So how do you get 5 SIMs (0.99c each) to port out 5 lines? You create 5 accts with 5 diff emails like Visible? Name, Address, Payment can be the same, but 5 diff emails? Do you provide the port-in info during acct signup? Once you activate the sim, the number is ported just like Visible does? I wipe my browser completely clean at the exit. I use VPN so I can get diff ip address if required. I would appreciate the process. Any suggestion on which network to select? ATT or VzW and not T-Mobile since lines are being ported out from Sprint/T-Mobile? Thanks

Try contacting [email protected]

My 1st account that was noted as denied due to referrals was approved as a one time courtesy. The status page says invalid though even before I contacted them.

The email was 1st initiated by them after I DM @sprintcare due to the invalid status. I was contacted by [email protected] and told they cant approve due to referrals. I rpljed back saying

1. It was not specified in the details of the promo that referrals will invalidate this rebate.


2. at a minimum get the difference of the rebate and the referral credits.


3. I will consider filing an FCC report if I don't receive my rebate.

4. I also forwarded the email to Marci and got a reply that her team would look into this.

I recommend that people wait until they get a denial on the status page on SPRINT's tracker.

I know people are worried, but there are some data points that show show it goes from invalid to being finally processed.

Anyone know how long this promo code is good for?

Interesting observation...the deals in the past that required new line, now require new acct / new line. I guess the carriers have realized that people are going back and forth to get new line deals. I saw that distinction for some deals on both Costco Membership Wireless and Sprint websites.

Thanks. What does the 15 plan include? I have VPN on and may be it is not allowing me to view certain things. Do you have more info on the process questions I asked? Thanks

30 days and 500mb. Really basic.

Looks like the promo code is $15 off as I tried to ise for other plans and it took $15 off.

Thanks again. Repped. I fired up my hotspot and disabled VPN. I was able to go through some of the steps.

So it seems like you just order this sim with $15 plan on it. Once you get it, you go through the activation process and during that process I guess it will ask you for number transfer or new number assignment. So this process seems more like MINT than Visible. Does it require you to setup acct or it is not needed? Thanks.

I recommend you wait a few days. The few data points show that is will change to final processing in a few days.

I have a 3rd acct that was submitted 3/20 and I will wait a few days before contacting Sprint.

Edit: yesterday this was pending. Today, the 90th day, it is Invalid. Im crossing my fingers that in a few days it will change to Valid.
