basic requirements:
(this info entered by desi babu, so u know is accurate)
must buy phone from amazon (new) or amazon warehouse deals (used)
phone must be $100 or more
phone must be unlocked
must buy sim card from amazon (best TracFone $1 sim)
both phone and sim must be on same invoice (ideal)
try this:
add sim card.
add phone.
place order.
check immediately (with 2-3 minutes) if the order is split.
if it is split, u can cancel both items immediately (with 2-3 minutes)
again, it is not important that both items be delivered same date.
it is important the sim arrives & u activate it by 12/31.
if phone arrives later (by jan 15th), it is ok.
(this assumes u have a separate unlocked gsm phone to activate the sim card)
but if amazon decides to split order (less than ideal) there are ways to rectify this
(keep reading...although this method may no longer be full proof )
(& i, desi babu would NOT recommend this)
it is not required to buy airtime from amazon.
but u will need to activate the sim.
keep reading on how to get the $9.99 ATT basic plan
purchase must be made by 12/31/2020.
the sim must be activated by 12/31/2020.
(ideally on the phone u ordered or on a different unlocked compatible gsm phone)
it is not required that u have the phone by 12/31.
the registration on the website (https://egiftbundle.com/) must be done by 1/17/2021
must wait 24 hours after u activate the sim to register on the website (https://egiftbundle.com/)
once u have the claim code.
to get the $100 there are 3 options u. can choose:
1. amazon credit (almost instant...best choice to pick to ensure u get the $100 as quick as possible) (this is the most reliable/ideal/recommended method....the other 2 below are not guaranteed)
2. virtual master card (was almost instant...but now is a few days wait and my not be the ideal choice) (this may not even be a option anymore)
3. venmo (a few days wait and my not be the ideal choice)
for https://egiftbundle.com/ website:
they ask for serial number of phone. this is actually the imei of phone.
sim card: if u got the TF sim, it comes with sim for 3 carriers.
regardless of which sim is on amazon invoice. enter the sim that u activated here.
after u have submitted for the rebate, u will be told to wait 24 hours while things are verified
take picture of the sim card that shows all 3 sim numbers.
take screen shot of amazon order that shows the sim number
(this will show up on invoice AFTER the sim card has shipped)
email both to [email protected]
with SIM card image and Amazon invoice.
Also mentioned sim card number, phone number, name and e mail adress.

Update with timeline:
1. 11/13 Friday 3 PM EST- Received new device and SIM in two separate shipping but both are in same invoice.
2. 11/13 4 PM - Put the SIM on my existing AT&T compatible unlocked device. In TF site, selected activate option. Passed SIM# and created new account by selecting new number and selected $9.99 plan at the end. Line was activated within few minutes. -- Update - $9.99 plan is not available with AT&T SIM. This plan is available with Verizon SIM. Thanks MarkusV803.
3. 11/13 6 PM - I took the picture of the IMEI from the new device and didn't open the box and got the SIM# from SIM kit. You can get the IMEI and SIM# from Amazon order details page in desktop version and confirm with your entry.
4. 11/13 6:15 PM EST - Entered all the details in rewards screen and received SIM is not valid error message. Reward page is showing to wait for 24 hours to refresh the database on their end. IMO, if you receive SIM error, you can initiate mail thread immediately.
5. Sent mail to [email protected] with SIM card image and Amazon invoice. Also mentioned IMEI, Full name and mail id. I used different mail id which is not Amazon's account email.
6. Received automated report from TPG.
7. 11/16 Monday - 8 AM - Received CS mail mentioned we are working on it.
8. 11/17 Tuesday - I sent follow-up mail on Tuesday.
9. 11/18 Wednesday - Received mail with redeem code - 4 AM EST.
10. Redeemed the code and selected Amazon gift card.
11. Received Amazon GC within few seconds and loaded into my Amazon account.
From my experience, it is good to use AT&T SIM which doesn't require IMEI and activate it online without opening the new device box. In this thread reported that , VZ is also good and no need to enter IMEI.
If you receive SIM error, you can send mail immediately instead of waiting for 24 hours and you will receive redeem code within 2 working days.

Did Tracfone promote this to SD?
Did you order a bundle or unlocked phone/separate sim?

Thought I would have a week, or so, to mull over all of this and how to proceed. Now looks like its all happening in a day. Guess I'll go ahead and buy that $15 airtime card at Target, when/if phone really arrives today.
Got the Moto G Fast for $145 minus $15 trade-in for an old clunker.
Edit:
Oh well, confusion galore. Turns out the UPS Next Day Air shipment is actually the one penny Woot T-shirt. Go figure?
Phone arrives Saturday via Amazon's own delivery.
