Maybe try your browser's incognito mode.
I did, and also tried other browsers. Both methods didn't work.

Tracfone seems to be attempting to track/blacklist/block computers or IP addresses that are actively used for porting transactions, or may be just any transactions with TF. It used to be very easy and fast for me, but now, after may be 20 or more ports, I feel they are trying to block me. Had to spend additional time and efforts yesterday to port in from Sprint (2 numbers) and port out back to Sprint one of them.

May be H2O is doing the same thing.
Thanks for the info.

My computer that I use the most now cannot even initiate porting transaction with TF, buttons stopped working even before reaching that spinning screen. Used a computer "new" for TF to port out first number from Sprint, it worked fine. But when Best Buy initiated porting this number back to Sprint, TF was not releasing it automatically. Sprint account status showed that there was a problem with porting and gave me a number to call, I believe that was Sprint porting department. Then Sprint porting agent had to call TF to release the number manually.

My second port from Sprint to TF initially appeared to be working fine, I received "Successful" confirmation from TF. But then the process stalled, so I had to chat with TF rep. And BTW, both those computers didn't have that popping "Chat with us" icon, so I used yet another computer to reach out to TF chat people. It was a very long chat as the rep had to contact porting dept, and manual port was also very slow. I will have to clean my cookies, etc. now, will see if that helps.
I keep one browser that clears up everything on the exit. I use this browser only for such things...

I ported out 3 Sprint lines to H20 on 30th June, port went through successfully in just 5-10mins....so it's still working
Seems they may have blacklisted hodaddy who reported this issue.

Did you have the same "spinning then came back to the same screen" problem that I had earlier this week with porting from Sprint to TF? If yes, how did you get it to work?
Couple of days ago TF site got hammered. They had a deal for a power bank for 99 cents.

Mine has a payout date of July 6th, and it as of today is still $160, for 2 lines.
Even a $10 referral bonus was removed. "Manually adjusted" to $0. I suppose that the $625 sprint cash-back changing to only $0.05cents invalidated the referral bonus. Or BF is manually removing invalidating accounts/referrals

Placed order with sprint on April 8, activated on April 11. May be a lost battle with BF. I still have to see if Sprint will send out prepaid MC for activating after the 9th

Good question, if you byod on XM, will you get cb per activated line. If you have a number just for standby XM is good. You can pool all your lines maximum up to 5 lines on their shareable 1gb, then turn off data and that is $15 per month plus taxes and fees per line. Plus they have $50 gc per line. Extra bonus is the cb.

With Visible they are doing 20% July 4th weekend cb. It's good if you buy a device. Plan is easy $25 /month all in. Who knows how much is cb for a byod. And 1 cb only per TCB account.
thanks, repped! I'll probably go with XM for now. Do you have any idea what the taxes would be on the $30 plan? $10?

And a free phone, and that free sim card+$15 plan was also posted and was very popular... So yes, may be that was a reason. But then, both Mr. Pham and me had that spinning thing long before. He had it like a week ago, and I had it more than a month ago.

Activated these 2 accounts on 4/11
I guess you got lucky then. Maybe the cashback goes by order date and when they ran out everyone past a certain cutoff got $0.

A referral bonus only becomes payable when you've earned at least $10 in cb. If you lose the cb for the Sprint deal and don't have at least $10 in cb from other purchases, then your referral bonus goes back to Pending.

Was supposed to be July 7. Just a few days ago i checked and the $625 was still pending. I already summited a ticket.
same problem here. AFAIK, its possible all the 7/7 and 7/8 payouts have changed to .05.

Opera VPN off. I have my own VPN, but Tracfone blocks VPN access....in the sense it won't let you buy or do anything important. In such cases, i turn off vpn and fire up my hotspot. I don't expose my static home ip address.
