Quote from ScottoDono :
What's odd is that I received email from Sprint yesterday morning 5am timestamp confirming my promotion like it was a new promotion and the 90 day clock was starting over. Same tracking number.

Not seeing these emails I called yesterday around 5pm and rep said she would manually approve. Unless the email timestamp dont think it was related to my call. Hopefully it will update on the rebate site by Monday.but its frustrating still seeing it denied after rep said she was manually approving.
It means there is an update/change on your rebate, they are not resetting the clock for the rebate. Give it 24-72 hrs to see if it changes to valid on rebateshq...

Same. I'm going to wait it out a little and see if it follows the trend of changing to valid on its own.

Waiting through the weekend sucks though, lol

I just checked, looks like the LG tribute empire phones cannot be activated on Verizon, anyone knows the reason? Thanks.
Quote from hpham_53 :
Although the Tribute is VoLTE capable on Sprint, it doesn't have the required LTE band (13?) to work with Verizon. If you have a Visible Moto E6 from a swap deal, it'll work.
Quote from Grouchy16 :
Nice work
I can place my Verizon SIM in the LG Tribute Empire phones I have and they will make phones calls on the Verizon network with no issue.

Internet, however is very unreliable with the Verizon SIM. Might just need to update the APN.

So I would believe that these phones at a minimum would work fine on the Verizon basic service with no data.

If they wont activate your new Verizon service, get a dummy IMEI to get service/account started and then put the SIM in the LG anyway and boot up and go.

Quote from akhere :
It should have changed today as you completed 90 days today if you activated on 4/10..
Or max it should be changing tomorrow early morning..

If it does not change by tomorrow morning then that gives us data point that these cases with late activation will not change automatically.

Hello, long time, first time post here. I signed up on 4/08, but did not get sent the phones by Sprint through the urlhasbeenblocked link until 4/11 with a 4/12 activation. Since that time, my $625 for five lines from urlhasbeenblocked went to 0.05 cents with the same response that everyone here has received about Sprint not having enough money. For the $300 GC for five lines, Sprint says to me when I called them from RebatesHq.com that I did not activate. I never even got the phones ontime, and besides, there is nothing that says I had to activate by 4/09. I got screwed.

What does your status say? If it says invalid, I would wait a 48-72 hours to see if it changes on its own. If not, give them a call.

The terms clearly stated that activation had to be within a week, not purchased by 4/9

Quote from hpham_53 :
I don't know whether or not Sprint gives any kind of refund if you terminate service before the end of a paid-for period.

* T-mo: my last service period was from 5/16 to 6/15 and the bill was $80 ($60 + $20 taxes and fees). I paid it early and ported out on 6/5. The final (printed) bill that they sent me shows a credit of about $23 which they said would be paid out via a debit card. Haven't received it yet.
* AT&T: my last service period was from 6/9 to 7/8 and the bill was $150 ($120 + $30 taxes and fees). I paid it early and ported out on 6/26. I checked last night and the account showed a credit of $38. Another member was told by a rep that they would mail a check in 3 weeks.

So, if you don't really use the phone service and don't plan to stay with Sprint, close the account as soon as you can, the refund (IF THEY DO IT) will be more than if you wait until later.
Thanks!

The LG Tribute probably has the old CDMA frequency, enough to make voice calls on old CDMA towers, but doesn't have the LTE band(s) to make VoLTE calls and use 4G/LTE data on Verizon.
If the OP wants to do multiple lines with the Verizon deal, he'll need to find a "whitelisted" IMEI for each line. Verizon will know the IMEI of the phone being used with each SIM. If it doesn't match the IMEI used to activate the SIM, it might jeopardize the reward.

Went to Macys and paid Macys credit card bill using Sprint Mastercard.

So Sprint MS works to pay Citi & Macy Card Payment.

Edit: Doesnt work to pay Discover Card. Any idea if it works to pay Chase & Amex ?

What's the best way to use up the prepaid physical card balance? Neither Chase or Discover credit card accepts prepaid card as a payment method.
Any idea / suggestion?
