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.

This promo ends on 10/1/20, just a few days away. That's why people are worried that their orders won't be processed soon enough to get the lines activated by 10/1/20.
My understanding is that line has already been activated with temp numbers, which is what counts. You have 30 days to port in and submit rebate. But yes, sooner the better. That is my understanding.

this is my new understanding as well after the helpful post by @quantecipher.

https://slickdeals.net/f/14353982-t-mobile-byod-activate-new-line-of-service-port-in-a-number-get-250-prepaid-mastercard?p=140749739#post140749739

if people make the purchase by 10/01, everything can be done later. maybe subscribe by 9/30 just to be safe. but there shouldnt be a frantic race to finish everything in 2 days. unless we are mistaken about what qualifies as an "purchase/activation".

Hi,
Sorry to post Sprint related question here. Could you help me and see if I am eligible for Sprint $250 BYOD. I have asked before, but got different answers, so I am really undecided. Thanks in advance.

I had the $300 Sprint promo with 5 lines, got the GC, then ported 4 lines to H20 about 50 days ago, I currently still have one line left, so if I add 4 more BYOD line, do the added lines qualify for $250 G? I got different opinion from folks here, some said that I am not eligible, as my ported out lines are not away for 90 days. I think the "reactivate cancelled lines " does not apply to me either, as I still have one active lines with Sprint?

I would greatly appreciate if you or any pro could comment?
I thought we discussed this in the other thread. It is a bit risky, per the T&C. But many people did $300 promo and we thought that wouldn't qualify. But they all did. If you are risking about $200 to $300 to make $1000, go for it. Maybe within a few weeks you would know if they denied the rebate or not. If you are already doing rebate with TMo acct with another name/add, then you are already ahead and maybe it is worth risking additional $200-$300 for $1000 payout.

No one can give you 100% guarantee on this. If you made good $ with $300 promo and are also in this deal via TMO, then it is worth risking $200-300 for $1000 payout.

Yes, mine says will be delivered tomm 9/29/20 by UPS. My package is going to be delivered by UPS, not USPS.
Although, I have no need for this package, as I got my replacement sims in store, activated and ported already.
thanks for the update. Mine shows some progress. My guess it will be delivered tomorrow. T-Mob should allow the SIM to be picked up tomorrow or just ship it overnight like Visible does.

given the time crunch, wondering if we just submit the promo under the old number would work?
Your posts are self-contradictory. In other posts, you tell people "Why the mad dash? Just place your order by 9/30 or 10/1, then submit the rebate within 30 days". But here you say "given the time crunch.....". What time crunch? Submitting under the old number is a good way to screw up your rebate. After the required port-in, the old number would be replaced by the port-in number. Unless their rebate system is well programmed, it wouldn't see the old number and will deny your rebate.

Did you get an email saying your order was shipped, and listing your temp numbers? If yes, your lines are activated. You can contact T-mo to port-in without needing the SIMs in your possession.

You can, port in att number first to setup tmobile account with only 2 lines,. Once insider discount is confirmed, do Change of responsibility for existing tmobile lines to new account with insider discount.

there have been many posts and various pieces of info shared the past few hours. so youre probably looking at my posts as if its all made at the same time. if you look at everything in order, you will probably see a clearer picture.

The SIMs will be activated with temp numbers when shipped. If your order is shipped/activated by 10/1 then you'll meet the deadline. You have 30 days to port in after purchase (i.e. when your order is processed/shipped).

something doesnt make sense. why does your magenta plan have cents after $140? it should be a round number with taxes included. what do you see on the promo/discount page?

go to your "Account" page and under "Plan Details", what do you see? you should see something close to what prior comments always share:

Plan Details
Magenta $140.00/mo

Applied discounts and promotions:
$10 AutoPay Discount
$20 2020 Line On Us 2 (Additional Lines)
$10 AutoPay Discount (Additional Lines)
$20 2020 3rd Line On Us 2 (Additional Lines)

something like the above.

your first bill will always be strange, but i dont know why you see $19.44. Something is wrong.

tell us how you registered. online or at retail? did you buy devices? do you have insurance?

also, is that screen from the primary account owner? you should be able to see a more detailed screen as the primary.
I have the same "problem" if you will, last line is $19.xx. I'm on 5 lines Magenta for $120
And it actually comes out to $119.xx for several months so not a pro rated first month. So not really a problem lol

And no financed phones or insurance or any other optional service to muddy up my monthly total.

I bought an AT&T # off of ebay (seller re-lux) and ported in for the $250GC. Someone just mentioned that all those ebay numbers are prepaid so will not qualify. Is that true? I submitted everything so not sure what to do now.

They actually seem to originate from postpaid business accounts. Or a reseller of allotted data from bulk account. . .much like Black Wireless or the former Venn.
