Transfer the rewards to bank account:
You need to delete the bank details from the card once you initiated the bank transfer. If you delete the bank details, you can use the same routing and ac number in other cards without any error message.
Rule -
1. Add bank details --> Initiate bank transfer --> Delete Bank details --> Redeem other cards.
2. Repeat #1.
You can make all transfer one by one at same day and no need to wait for credit.

Sprint customer are not eligible to port in through online. It will require store visit but success from store is highly YMMV.
Costco $100 offer is not stackable with this offer. Thanks Grouchy16 for Costco confirmation.
Not only is it not stackable, I have more information:
ATTENTION:
I have some very very crucial information
The $250 dollar promotion, doesn't qualify at all if activated via any national retail. Costco, Best Buy, Walmart etc
Here are the eligible channels for this promotion:
Care
Retail (Corporate, TPR, and TPRs), including Retail Ship-To
T-Mobile for Business (Business Telesales, Care, Dedicated Experts, Retail, Direct, and Indirect)
Telesales / Virtual Retail
Web (including My T-Mobile and the T-Mobile app)
https://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/...s_opened/e
When i spoke to a rep this weeked who claimed she is a supervisor and has been with t-mobile for 10 years, she said a line opened by Costco would still qualify.
Promotion Date Range: 9/18/2020 - 10/1/2020
--------
Process to avail $250 BYOD promotion
--------
Here is the sequence
1. Signup Hookup code type 1 using the any one of the numbers you will port. Research this on a separate SD thread about it. I got the code from link below
https://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/...until_the/
When you've got a Hookup code, go to this site and register your info before activating your SIMs, account.
https://insider.t-mobile.com/
2. You will need 4 non t-mobile numbers that qualify plus four unlocked phones that work on tmo
4. Go online and put an order as new customer under BYOD parting the 4 lines (3rd will be free) . You will be charged $10 per sim (plus tax).
Magenta plan to be chosen (140 for 4) will be 112 for 4 lines after hook up discount

5. When sims arrive. Port in the non T-Mobile numbers [Number Transfer Center: 877 789 3106].
OR: Get on FB Messenger, and ask the T-Mobile team to transfer the numbers for you.
6. Submit rebate online . Url and promo code you can find in this thread
https://promotions.t-mobile.com/?...00&irgwc=1
Hope this helps
After you received your SIM cards:
1. Called the Number Transfer Center (Porting dept) at 877-789-3106 to transfer in your numbers (replacing the temp numbers associated with the SIM cards). If you are put on hold for more than 10 minutes, hang up and move to step 2.
2. Pop one of the SIM cards in an unlocked phone. (You should be able to make calls and send/receive text messages with the temp. number linked to the SIM card).
3. Create a T-Mobile ID with the temp number in (2). (You would be verified with your e-mail address and also verification code sent to the temp. number).
4. Get onto FaceBook Messenger. Send a request to the T-Mobile team to transfer in my 4 AT&T numbers. You would be verified through a link to sign in with your T-Mobile ID created in (3).
5. Once verified, a T-Force team member would come on board and help you port in your numbers.
6. Log on to T-Mobile.com with your email address and password (the temp number used in step (3) would not be needed).
7. Confirm your 4 numbers are in your T-Mobile account!
Note: Folks have done visible (chat with t-force on Twitter/ FB messengers they will confirm your number as it will come up a vzw) .. keep record of that chat
Porting your numbers after receiving and cashing out the prepaid virtual cards.
There are several options:
1. Numberbarn [numberbarn.com] - $7 (port-in fee $5 + monthly charge $2)
2. H2O [h2owireless.com] - $1. See post hpham_53's post on how to avoid paying min $10 monthly plan. Now need to wait 5 days before porting out.
3. Tello [tello.com] - $5

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.

Option 1:
Option 2:
Option 3:
Something else to note...I was told I qualified for the 20% Hookup on the Military Magenta plan. However, some reps state the military plans don't qualify. It doesn't mention this in the terms though, so not sure what to believe. I also have confirmation in chat from when I signed up, but not sure if they'd honor it or not.
I'm trying to see if I can confirm whether or not I will get the 20%. However, if I don't, I'd be better off taking advantage of hookup code type 2 for the discounted phones. That'd be better than nothing...
I've been contemplating which option to choose and probably need to decide soon. I ended up getting the free line discount on the military plan, so not sure if I need to be careful with cancelling accounts or replacing numbers like required with options 1 and 2. I plan to maintain 5 lines, so any idea if the order of how lines are activated and then replaced could impact the discounts?
Regarding Option 1, I will need four more TMO SIM cards to do the ports (~$45, which means I'd net about $777 in the end). It looks like it took about 1.5 days for the account to be activated with the temp numbers, so I'd be cutting it close considering the account needs to be activated by 10/1.
Alternatively, I could go to Costco and avoid the SIM charges and get them immediately. However, there have been mixed opinions regarding whether activating at Costco qualifies for the $250 BYOD rebate. Another option could be to order online and try and get TMO to allow me to pick up the SIMS at a local store.
Any thoughts or experiences with this?
Regarding Option 2, I won't need anymore TMO SIM cards, but I need to be certain TMO will allow me to replace the ATT numbers with the Cricket numbers in 6-8 weeks (after the rebates pay out). Any thoughts on this? Will it throw up red flags or cause any problems? This seems easier than Option 1 now since I previously wasn't considering the cost of the additional SIM cards required for Option 1 (Unless the Costco option works).
Regarding Option 3, I thought I saw someone mention that TMO still saw the previous carrier listed with their number even after temporarily porting to another BYOD qualified carrier. Seems like it could take time to update, so only leaving the Verizon service active for a couple days may not work. I won't need anymore TMO SIM cards, but I'll need to port to Verizon first. Between porting to Verizon and then porting to TMO, it seems like the two out of state people won't have phone service so this probably isn't going to be a viable option.

Just take your time and read thru terms and conditions of the deal though.

What about the timing issues that have been mentioned? Are you aware of anything like that, where TMO will still see Cricket as the carrier since the ports happened so quickly?
So would my best option be to go into the store so I get the Verizon SIMs immediately? I recall you previously mentioned picking up the SIM in the local store. So, do online with SIM pickup in store, or do all in store?
1. Sign up for Verizon service.
2. Port 4 numbers from Cricket to Verizon.
3. Wait for the port process to finish.
4. Proceed with the port from Verizon to TMO.
Since I already have my TMO lines activated with temp numbers, I still have the 30 day window to port from Verizon. However, to avoid the service charges from Verizon, I'd need to port out within a few days.
How quick do you think I could do both ports? Thinking about the out of state family that will essentially be out of service during this time. They won't have access to the Verizon SIMs so once I port their numbers from Cricket to Verizon, they won't have service until the numbers are ported to TMO.
If you ask me, i suggest don't tell them the carrier name, rather give the T-Mobile rep just Number and ask if the number is eligible, and also save the transcript.
If you still not convinced, better jump to Verizon, following are the advantages

My status: current customer on TMobile One plan, added free line on the 24th so I now have 5 lines total, 4 of those postpaid.
I have the AT&T port-in from eBay at my disposal, haven't used it yet. I know I could settle on BYOD $250 method, but if there's Some way to tie it to the 20% off code I'd obviously prefer that.
Would I need to upgrade to Magenta or is it pretty much a no go for me for the 20% off since I'm a current customer?
