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.

By using debit cards to pay bills, you miss out on the chance of using credit cards (and thus earning CC points/miles) to pay for those said bills. Also cash is king. If I can avoid prepaying for bills I would choose to do that instead. Smilie That $ can be spent sitting in a high yield savings/reward checking account or investments, etc. It's all about opportunity cost.
You didn't factor into your analysis the cost of turning the Sprint DCs cards into cash. So far I have not heard of anyone cashing out these DCs without incurring cost.There is a fee for buying money orders at the grocery store or Visa cards at Staples.

I can buy a money order up to $1000 and pay 88 cents for fee at my local Dillons. If I pay $1000 in utilities and grocery expenses with my USBank Cash+ VISA card, I'll get $50-$60 cash back. It's a no brainer.

If you can use them at Staples or CVS for a VGC, you get 5% back, so there is no cost! You even earn some $!

you did 6 AT&T lines in 3 accounts?
Two AT&T accounts: one with 4 lines before they cut the limit to two GCs, one with 2 lines after limiting.

And they would use the same cashout money to pay some household bills. Why not simply use the debit cards to simply pay for some of these household expenses?
My electricity utility needs $3extra for payment from credit or debit card... So i cannot.
Anyways i was saying everybody should already know that we can use this prepaid card anywhere to pay something online or in store

Yes, it depends on the company. My local natural gas company charges a fixed $1.99 to pay with a credit card; my average monthly bill is $50, not worth using a card. Water Dept, Electricity, Cox Cable all accept credit cards without a surcharge.

Update:
At 11AM today, got a congrats email from Sprint about the GC (for my line3a). Checked Sprint site and status changed to Fulfilled (was In Process this morning). Shipped date 6/21/20.

Line2 was auto-denied yesterday. I called and the rep got it approved after initially telling me it was denied because my wife got referrer's cards for it. Status now changed to Pending (Valid), was Invalid this morning. Looks like Sprint site gets updated around 11AM.

Line1 was auto-denied on 3/13. I've been calling and emailing Sprint Promo since that date. Finally got an email yesterday evening from Sprint Promo saying it was approved. Status today shows Pending (Valid).

On RHQ, status for all 3 claims show "Your rebate is valid. Please allow up to 30 days to receive your rebate".

The battles are winding down.
What's the status of your line 3b? Wondering if they will approve that too, lol

It changed to Pending/Valid "expect card in 10 business days" this morning. If they send it, it wouldn't bother my conscience too much to keep it. They still owe me two $50 referral cards that I haven't pursued yet, plus all the hassle they put me through.

I am sure you will receive it soon. I got virtual card for my original registration yesterday and today received a physical card. Assume it is for my 2nd submission as that shows 'within 5 business days'

Edit:

I got the two submissions confused. I received physical card today for my original registration. Its current status is below:

Status : Fulfilled
Your registration is valid. Please allow 5 business days to receive your card.
Shipped Date: 06/23/2020

I received virtual card for my re-registration yesterday. Its current status is:

Status : In Process
Your registration is valid and is scheduled for final processing. Your card will be delivered within 7 business days.

I wonder if they will fulfill twice for all the people who re-registered!!

Guys .. Did anyone got this type of email from sprint?
Quote :
Subject: Your Promotion Information

Dear xxxxx xxxx,
Congratulations and thank you for participating in the Sprint promotion.
Your prepaid card request has been approved and you will receive it by mail within 10-15 business days.
We appreciate your business and hope you will participate in future promotions.
Sincerely,
Sprint
I already received virtual GCs of $300... my referrals were rejected earlier and i had contacted them for referral issue many days ago..
I got two of such emails where as i had total 5 referrals.. so not sure if those two emails i got are for referrals or what about?
Note: RHQ does not show any referral rebate or anything other than 300 rebates..

That's an email for a $300 card. I got one for my physical card on 6/23 when its status changed to Fulfilled. They don't send email when a referral card is fulfilled, only when it is approved, and it has different wordings "Your Reward is coming" or something like that.

I don't have any Virtual Card so I can't be certain if they send that email for VC.
