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.

However, all it shows is the $300 rebate. How will the $50 referral reward be paid out?
The referral reward is paid with a $50 GC. But if RHQ doesn't show it, it ain't coming. Was you ever informed by Sprint via email that it's coming?

My Sprint account has two lines: line1 and line3. I already got the $300 GC for line1. The $300 GC for line3 is In Process. If I port out line1, will it affect the status of line 3? I don't know if Sprint designates it as the "account holder".

I just want to port line1 out now to see how long it takes Tracfone to port the number out of Sprint.

Hi, the 90 days is from activation or rebate submission? Thanks.
I believe it was from rebate submission according to DPs.

Sprint seems to be different from T-Mobile in formally designating one of the numbers as the "account holder". If you port out your first line from the Sprint, next line will take its place without any issues.

Porting from Sprint to Tracfone was very fast for me, like 15-20 minutes maximum.

Well, I called a month ago and was told it will come with the $300 rebates.

I also have the Sprint email saying that I was referred by a friend. So...I assume $50 is coming my way?

The $50 and $300 rewards are not tied together.
The Sprint email confirmed that you were referred by a friend, but your friend must also maintain service until the rewards are paid to both of you. If the referrer no longer has his/her account active, your referral might not be paid out. I suggest you contact Referral Support again to check on the status of your referral reward.

Having a second thought about your situation. While porting out line 1 should not affect the status of line 3, perhaps being super cautious would be safer. I mean it would be safer if you wait until line 3's status changes to Fulfilled, or may be even wait for the card to arrive in the mail.

I am in a similar situation. Received $300 card for my first line, and waiting for the second line's rebate card. Expected to receive it today as it was shipped May 26, but it's not showing in my Informed Delivery. Once I receive it, my plan is to port out one line, convert another line into BB Kickstart, and after that to add a free line if I am still eligible at that point.

91 days after activation -- they fixed the sales location issue

3/25 Activated 3x BYOD lines
4/9 Submitted rebate
6/24 3x rebates approved

91 days from rebate submission would've been 7/9 for me

Based on the data for my 3 lines and the promo screen, it's 90 days from rebate submission.

OK. I'll hold off a few days until I've received the $300 GC for line 3.

Something puzzling though, I added the Tracfone SIM card (loaded with a $15 plan) that I bought last week to my TF account. Went through the process of activating it, selected Keep My Number, enter my Sprint line1 phone number, at the next screen I filled out all the port-in info. When I clicked on SUBMIT, it did some spinning then came back to the same screen. No error message or red-lighted field. Don't know why, tried a few times with other browser, same result. Checked Sprint account and it still shows Line1.

Good for you that it didn't work lol.

This happened to me too, couple of times about 3-4 weeks ago. AT&T and T-Mobile sim cards from Tracfone did the same spinning with retrun to the original screen while trying to port in from another carrier. I thought it was because I did numerous activations/ports on Tracfone site before and somehow they blocked my IP address. Tried different browsers on different computers, without success. Then tried Verizon sim card on one of the laptops that was never used to do Tracfone transactions, and it worked, ported a number from Sprint free year BYOD.

Internal ports within Tracfone have been working fine, e.g. changing Tracfone networks, like T-Mobile sim to AT&T sim.

Will be porting to Tracfone soon, will see how it goes.

Interesting that you had the same problem.
I've been using TF since 2001 and am quite familiar with its quirks, but I've ported in a number only once, in 2003 when bringing my wife's phone from postpaid Verizon to TF.
I have a few H2O SIMs on hand at the moment. I'll use them to port my 3 lines out of Sprint. Last week I bought 3 TF BYOP SIMs preloaded with $15 plan for $1.12 each, I can activate them with new numbers and "harvest" the units from them for my main phone on TF. Nothing wasted.
