Updated by Tuxedo1 on 11/2:

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.

Updated by Tuxedo1 on 9/20:

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

Your comment cannot be blank.

TMo pushing hard to close out Q3 with big numbers.
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.

To God Be The Honor & Glory
What's the cheapest plan possible for this?

I remember last time this would require a Corp discount code which may conflict with the hookup discount code.

maybe because port is required from specific carriers?

Can I even use an old LG G2 phone for the BYOD? I'm guessing T-Mobile doesn't care what device, but wanted to check.
