That would be a sweet deal then. I know I added 4 new lines with TMO thru Costco in July. I summited my rebates for $100 each line that same night. Then I ordered 4 new phones from TMO online by doing a upgrade on those lines. Well anyways those lines qualified for T-mobile current promos because it was done within the 14 day remorse period.

I bought 2 iPhone SE 2020 for $200 off each, a one plus 8 for $350 off and a iPhone 11 for $700 off with eligible port in plus trading in a iPhone 8. So most people on Slickdeals told me I would not get both Promo. Anyways I just checked on rebate status yesterday and I was approved for all 4 rebates and it said mailing date was 9-17. I'm pretty stoked about this deal.

Did anyone have issue with their SIM shipment? I ordered on 9/18 and still haven't received it yet. TMobile's status gives an error so I have to ask the rep to provide me the tracking number and its status is basically standing still. So I had them placed another order few days ago and once status changed to shipped, tracking also shows error.

Thanks! I also just saw in the rebate FAQ page that says something about not checking the status for 72 hours. So it seems like you may potentially get an approved status within 72 hours, and then get the actual rebates within the 6-8 weeks if your service is still active.
I've done the deal before. Checking after 72 hrs will tell you only that your submission was received. See attachment. You will NOT know whether or not it was approved until 6-8 weeks later.

Thanks and Rep'd. That's true less profit ($30x4=$120) is better than no profit.
I wonder, if after i pre-register the type 1 code with one of the att number i get from ebay
then go online just open a new account (magneta 4 lines for $140)
i am a little bit confuse on this: BYOD $250 promo expire on Oct/01; but we are allow to port in within 30 days.
So, can i still open a new account online, then wait for the sim card to arrive, then call to port-in the 4 att number assuming already after oct/01.

will it work, too?
My interpretation....To qualify, your SIMs/lines must be activated by 10/1. You have 30 days after activation to port in. If you go to the store, the SIMs will be activated and numbers ported in right there. For people like me who ordered online, the SIMs are shipped and activated with temporary phone numbers. When you contact T-mo to port in, those temp numbers are replaced by the ported in numbers.

Today is 9/28. It might take 2-3 days for you to obtain a hookup number (if you don't already have one). By then it might be too late for you to order online and have the SIMs shipped/activated by 10/1.

If I order the sims today, and activate after couple of days (after receiving my code), will I still receive the insider hookup discount using the code which ends 9/28? I already registered on insider.tmobile.com but wanted to check if the activation needs to happen before the hookup code expiry date.

The nearby store is asking $30 activation per line so I am not paying that, but I am thinking if I should activate in store or wait for online sims to arrive.

Get back to your seller and tell them what T-mo said. Sometimes sellers sent a "dud" number.

Thanks. What shipping method? It's throwing me off that both of my SIM orders at different times are experiencing similar issue.

How did your bill get to $92/month?
He/she got 20% off the $140 (with one line free) then got $20 off from $112. Look like tmobile system applies third line free, hookup, then 2020 line on us....T-Mobile should apply the free lines then the hookup, looks like T-Mobile's system is messed up...

How did you register for hook up code?
Are you asking how to OBTAIN a hookup code, or how to REGISTER a hookup code?

To OBTAIN a hookup code, the Wiki tells you how. If it's too confusing, here's a summary:
- Option 1: go to the Reddit site mentioned in the Wiki, wait for the codes to be posted by T-mo insiders several times a day, and compete with unknown numbers of people waiting to snatch one.
- Option 2: open a free account with Discord, submit a ticket asking for a Type 1 code, wait for someone to respond to your ticket with a code. There's no guarantee how soon someone will respond to your ticket.

To REGISTER a hookup code, there's a link in the Wiki to do that (I added it this morning).

You have done a similar deal in the past? Can you comment on how true to the 6-8 weeks Tmobile really is when it comes to issuing the cards?

Thanks again... i just got a hookup number, that's why want to proceed.
But since i have a hookup code, i will get 4 att port in number from ebay.
if i open my account online myself, might be too late to meet activation by oct-1.
and looks like the 3rd line free on us is gone, too.
so for Magneta 4 lines will be $160 now

Thanks!
