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
https://www.t-mobile.com/resource...-own-phone
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.

My initial bill was showing $146 for 4 lines with insider and auto-pay discount.
CSR was very very helpful, I just mentioned I have a question on bill, she reviewed and said "line on us" discount usually appears in 1-2 billing cycles, but she adjusted . Now my new bill is $96
Less than 5 mins I was done. Now online its reflected
you dont see the 20% hookup yet, correct? when did you subscribe? and when did you submit the code? you should be able to use the promo status checker page and see "approved" or "denied". if it still says "received", call customer care and ask to be transferred to the promo dept. they should be able to tell you that the promo was approved or denied. they can see all the important details. you dont need to wait multiple billing cycles just to verify you have been approved for the hookup. you should at least ask for bill credits.
Update: Maybe it was the ticket or the start of new billing cycle that corrected the issue. New bill cycle started today. So can't say for sure if it was the ticket or the start of new bill cycle that fixed the issue.
how about everything else? you never had any issues with 3rd line free or free line on us? and the 20% hookup remained on your account?
Online account shows price of $96, but shows all 4 lines, and each number says included in plan... maybe I lucked out with 3rd free line even though the 4th line was added 9/28 (past the 3rd line on us), or one of them was the free line on us....
Applied discounts and promotions:
$10 AutoPay Discount
$24 New TMO Insider Voice 20%
$20 2020 Line On Us 2 (Additional Lines)
$10 AutoPay Discount (Additional Lines)
$20 2020 3rd Line On Us 3 (Additional Lines)
20% hookup code registered on the insider website: 9/24
T-mobile account created: 9/25
Sim received: 9/29
Porting done: 10/8
BYOD submission: 10/8
Question:
The promo says 9/15 - 10/1. What does the deadline 10/1 refer to?
Account creation?
Porting?
BYOD Rebate submission?
Also, Do I need to submit a rebate for each number separately? Should I give same address for all rebates or give different address for one number who doesn't live in the same household?
Thanks
i opened a line on 9/27 and ported in on 10/2.
it's really confusing said on the main page of this deal
"You must complete port-in and register code within 30 days of activation;"
Anybody who can confirm if i can still get the rebates?
the screenshots in my prior post makes it very clear:
https://slickdeals.net/f/14353982-t-mobile-byod-activate-new-line-of-service-port-in-a-number-get-250-prepaid-mastercard?p=14
I ultimately planned to go with the suggested Verizon option, but found out two of my existing numbers can't port to Verizon. So I can lose out on $500 or I can go the ATT route and take the $1000 minus prorated service cost.
I plan to go ATT but just wanted to do one last check to make sure there wasn't something I was missing with regards to qualifying for the promo. So much info flying around in this thread and tons of inaccurate information from TMO reps...
I'm breaking up with Cricket and plan to stay with TMO. With TMO, I have 5 lines plus upgraded Netflix for $107. Never really considered telecom churning...not sure it's worth all the effort with a family plan and probably wouldn't yield as much profit after considering higher per/line cost if splitting up the lines.
technically, the T&Cs do state: "port-in from AT&T, Verizon, US Cellular, Spectrum, Claro or Xfinity required"
so does that mean ATT MVNOs are OK? im not sure. i would rather not test this because promos have been denied many times for this reason.
i would keep cricket until i port the ebay ATT numbers, get the rebate, then port in cricket after. you will lose some profit while double paying for service, but its worth it. otherwise, you may lose $1k. and keeping double service until the holidays for a different port in promo may be worth it. it all depends on how much youre paying for cricket. you can even use GV to park your numbers.

Plan is $128 for 6 lines.
One thing that did change in the last few days is Monthly total. It went up by $146. Not sure why. 2 lines are using BYOD, whereas other 4 lines are using devices that have promo and are free after monthly credits. The bill should come out Friday that should confirm what is going on.

I decided to play it safe and go the non-ebay ATT route (Post Paid/non-MVNO). I'm porting from Cricket to ATT and then from ATT to TMO a couple days later. Waiting on the ATT SIMs to arrive in the mail (No activation or SIM charge). I figure if I have the ATT service active for a week during the port process, it'll be a prorated cost of like $35, which is worth it for the end result.
Also, I think I can use the TMO SIMs with the temporary numbers for the 4 lines once I start the Critcket-ATT-TMO port process. This will allow my family members out of state to at least have phone service during the transition.
So in the end, should get close to $1000, plus I did the 4 free S20 FE phones (24 month requirement) and snagged four $70 Samsung credits. TMO service is $107 for 5 lines including the upgraded Netflix. Definitely a step up from the abusive relationship I was having with Cricket.
I have attached screen shot of my adjustments

My first bill was $168 which generated on 24th Sep. Contacted CS team and went to same to store to make adjustment. But no luck for several weeks. Today I contacted Twitter T-Force and he fixed by bill within few minutes. Now due is showing as $99 for 4 lines for first month. Going forward $112/month.
In my experience, it is better to contact them vis Twitter or FB Messenger. Chat from App doesn't give positive output.
