Seems they consider it has Non-Tmobile, as there systems are not yet migrated, so sprint numbers are also eligible for BYOD offer.

Unfortunately yes, not sure, if this deal can be done from Costco, as Costco gives SiM free and no Activation charges.

I closed my account with T-mobile last month and had it re-activated it today for this promo and ordered a new device over the phone with an agent.
Later when I was told by another agent that it has to be a "new" account with T-mobile so a re-activated account wouldn't work.
Now, I'm trying to get that closed again (geez!) and may be sign up for a new one. Is there a wait time between accounts?

In speaking with their live chat they said that my sim card was able to be used from google fi, they also said there is an activation fee of $20 but depending on credit score that cannot be waived and a credit check.
