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.

Yes. Same process for each card. Swiped, then quickly pressed red Cancel on the touch screen once it appears, click debit then put pin.
It's a bit simpler at my Dillons store. I didn't have to press Cancel (to switch from Credit to Debit), but I had to touch "No Cash back" for each card after enter the PIN.

Thanks. That 888-371-2109 number is the same number on the website. No option to talk to a human. Also, no other means of contact posted on the website except for that 2109 number.

I understand that's what your bill shows, but Sprint bills a month ahead, so the bill to be autopaid on July 17 covers from June 24 to July 23. Call or Chat with Sprint if you want to verify what I said. There's a "billing period" and a "service period" and it's a bit difficult to explain/understand the way Sprint uses those terms.
Thanks and repped

The autopayment on Jul 17 actually pays for Jun 24-Jul 23. (U can confirm this by chatting with Sprint CS). Port out before Jul 23.

Looks like I might have to just pay the $2.95 and get the physical cards as it will be so cheap to get money orders from Walmart $0.88 each.
So $9.73 total for 3 physical cards including the cost of a $900 money order.
When I click the reward link I get the option for Virtual or Physical card............If I opt for Virtual now, is the an option to still order the phsyical one after?

So, I chatted with Sprint CS and that is what the rep stated. "the account bill due on 7/17 has a total amount of $40.10. Please be advised that this due date was for your cycle that starts 05/24/2020-06/23/2020. The next due date for 8/17 will be for your bill cycle 06/24/2020-07/23/2020 this is the next bill cycle." Then I asked if I cancel today, will I be charged for bill cycle from 6/24-7/23, the rep indicated no. Is this correct?

Let me show it this way:
Service Period..........................Bill Due Date
3/24/20 to 4/23/20.....................4/17/20
4/24/20 to 5/23/20.....................5/17/20
5/24/20 to 6/23/20.....................6/17/20
6/24/20 to 7/23/20.....................7/17/20

As of today 6/29/20, you're into the 4th service period and have paid only 3 bills. If the rep said you could cancel today and not have to pay the 4th bill, then you got free service from 6/24 to today. If you feel lucky and trust the rep, go ahead and cancel without paying the 4th bill.

If you had asked the rep "if I cancel today, will I be charged for service cycle (instead of bill cycle) from 6/24-7/23", the rep likely would have said "Yes".

I don't know what you meant by "This".
I mean myprepaidcenter website only works for $50 referral cards. For $300 cards, it always gives an error to try again...

I just received email with the first (of two) $300 virtual Mastercard from this deal. Thank you to the OP, needgeech, and all of you other folks (you know who you are) who added helpful, often required, information along the way.

Now what do I do with this "virtual" card?

The email said I could add it to my "mobile wallet" so I tried adding to my PayPal account and it was immediately rejected: "Your card has been declined. Please try a different payment method."

I'm guessing I can't just add it to my checking or savings account. There are a whole lot of limitations on what it can be used for and if I just use it directly to buy things I will (1) not have an easily accessible transaction register for later referral, and (2) of course forfeit my credit card's 1% bonus on purchases but I think that's a foregone conclusion anyway.

I saw people talking about the Venmo trick but I have never used Venmo and would rather not. I don't have a Samsung phone (no Samsung Pay).

Maybe Google Pay? Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks.

I chatted with Sprint for further clarification and below is what the rep stated when asked about whether I will be charged for service cycle from 6/24-7/23:

You will no longer be charge of this services due to your month in advance.

Sprint, like any other postpaid carrier bills month in advance. A month in advance is essential for continuous service with no interruption. Just like paying for rent, a month in advance is paid for the usage of all services. This, in turn, will be used when you make any changes on the account. If you make any changes, like changing a plan, add or remove services in the middle of the billing cycle, you will receive prorated credits based on the month in advance that you have placed. And when you cancel your account, you won't have to pay for the services on the last cycle at all as this will be covered by your month in advance.

I just added the $300 GC I received today to the same account that has remnants of two $50 cards and it worked. See attachment. Did you enter the correct exp date for the $300 card? It's 12/20 vs 11/20 for the $50 cards.

Is that $300 card a virtual or physical?
Other than seeing your balances and card numbers, what can you do with the website?
