Im a little confused and hopefully someone can clarify, but did they fix where the multiple people got free lines under the same free line promotion namely the July promotion. I was wondering if people are getting a those lines as full price now

I tried this, my reserve line is free, my line that i bought a phone on is paid. Any assistance.

The July one? Do you mean the June unlimited on us one? I thought only 1 person got 2 of those free and that was only because they checked out at the same time for a byod and reserve. You do the same?

Do you recall how long until BYOD line showed strike through? Reserved a line few days ago (order completed, shows strikethrough after 1 day), added BYOD on different day (order completed, no strikethrough yet after 1 day)
The next day. I also received a text message from Sprint. hug

QC mentioned there is a workaround using, having a sprint essentials line and then using that for upgrade.But I could not get it using reserve that line and then using thar for upgrade on BBY got the same error we get when trying to access swac account.
I mentioned add a non-SWAC line, you reserved the line. Is that reserved line activated? and how old is your SWAC account? In addition, you must use that non-SWAC line as the login credential to your Sprint account and to receive text verification on the BB portal because the BB portal will not recognize any SWAC line. This trick works because you can mix and match different types of plans on the same Sprint account. hug

Any good deal from BestBuy? I saw QC mentioned you can create Sprint account through BB and Walmart in another thread.

Exactly the same thing 3 different reps told me...no offer for me...saw the same image while reserving a line...reserved anyway and it's free. https://static.slickdealscdn.com/ima...lies/smile.gif
You were able to reserve the line even after being told you did not have the offer on your account? And your bill has generated and it shows as free? Or how do you know it is legitimately free? Have you confirmed with customer service?

Hey so the chat reps are saying my other reserved lines are showing free on their system but they said it should only be one line per account.so am guessing will have to see the bill when it generates in a bit.so far still only one line shows the $0 others show advantage unlimited $30 but each has a unique offer code associated with it fingers crossed it works if it doesn't I'm be put like $150 bucks lol.
