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:

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.

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.

It's not that "MVNOs" don't qualify; it's prepaid services that don't qualify, which is probably what all MVNOs are...
Since the pointed purposed of this BYOD Promo is for T-mo to take away direct customers of the carriers named in the promo, I think numbers ported from the Prepaid subsidiaries of those named carriers qualify for the promo. Many people were told by T-mo reps that numbers ported from Visible qualify for the promo; if they do, then I don't see why numbers ported from AT&T Prepaid don't qualify.

I asked where she is seeing this information and she stated it's in their rebate terms (She was reading them aloud on the phone). Since the rebate terms we see don't mention anything about prepaid requirements, it seems like their terms don't align with our terms.
Does it mean, will rebates related to prepaid number port in from ebay sellers be denied by the rebate department?

From the website [t-mobile.com]:
Are there any exclusions to the BYOD promotion?
Yes, you must activate at least one new voice line and you must bring your number over from a non-T-Mobile provider. Eligible providers include AT&T, Verizon, US Cellular, Claro, Spectrum Mobile, and Xfinity Mobile. Limit four per account.
Ultimately, I wouldnt usually trust any agent for information. They're either right, misinformed but there's not really any repercussions from them if they're wrong. If you follow their bad information, it's difficult to fix.
They'll read you the terms and conditions. Ultimately, if this doesn't work, it's going to be hard for you to win your arbitration case if it's spelled out in the terms and conditions regardless of what any agent tells you.
I would only trust the information on these types of boards. However, most people seem to think the MVNOs will qualify since the numbers will be classified as if they're ATT or VZ. However, you shouldn't be surprised if it doesn't work out. These boards are great for data points. However, the problem is by the time the data points come in, it'll be too late for most people. It won't be long before we start getting MVNO data points since it's been almost 3 weeks. Those rebates should start getting approved soon.

As hpham mentioned, the point of the promotion is to snag new customers from their competitors, so not sure why they would exclude "prepaid" services.
At this point, it's a toss up. Who knows what they're going to decline or approve. I think you have a much better argument if you port from a carrier that actually has the name of one of the qualified carriers, like ATT Prepaid. The terms we see specifically mention ATT is qualified and don't mention anything about prepaid ATT services being excluded. However, for Cricket, they could say "Cricket" wasn't in the list of qualified carriers (Even though they are owned by ATT).

I recently completed a BYOD deal with AT&T. The terms posted on their web site said you only need to maintain service for at least 45 days to get the reward. On the 46th day, I called AT&T Reward Center to request the reward and the rep said I'd have to wait 60 days before claiming a reward. I filed a complaint with the BBB and the next day got an email from a Customer Care rep whose title said she works for the AT&T President Office. She asked what AT&T could do to make things right. I said I just wanted AT&T to issue me the GCs because I've met the 45 days required service. They promptly issued me the GCs.
Oh man, its not allowing me to Rep you again :-(.
Do you have tracking information for your SIM? It seems like you should have received it by now.
With that said, I do agree with you that this offer is intended to get postpaid customers from ATT and VZ. If I were to bet, I'd probably say the prepaids will work. However, I wasn't brave enough to find out for sure so I added a few lines on ATT and just ported them to Tmobile. And given the amount of money for this offer, it's not worth risking $1,000 for me to find out that a prepaid MVNO doesn't work.

thats' what i did.
Also before i went to the store, i called customer service to complain about the shipping taking long, and they approved to credit any charges the store would assess, but the store just gave the sim cards for free.
