Visible announced their set of deals for the iPhone 13 line-up earlier and they now have a page that lists the phones (currently Just for information; September 24 is the date of availability).

Unfortunately, it looks like the deal is much worse than last year's Beats Studio and Airpods Pro offerings.
This year we get a HomePod Mini instead.
In addition, the infamous $200 Virtual Gift Card promotion for bringing your number will be the highlight.
For those who want to go with the 13 Mini or the regular 13 might be in luck; The wording of the deal so far indicates that you get $200 no matter which one you go for. In the last year, the gift card amount was tiered such that you got either $100, $150 or $200 depending on which one you bought. Naturally, 12 Mini buyers got the least amount.

New members who (1) purchase a qualifying device or bring their own, (2) transfer their existing phone number from an Eligible Carrier, (3) activate their Visible service, and (4) complete 3 full months' service payments, are eligible to receive up to a $200 virtual gift card…
For the HomePod Mini, condition (4) is not listed. So, you do not need to pay for 3 months to keep your HomePod Mini.
HomePod Mini retails for $99, but can be found much cheaper.
Costco has them at $95.
Best buy has them as open box (Excellent) at $88.
Staples has them new at $89, but you need to follow through google shopping link to get the price (try incognito mode).

Edit 1: after 59 days, my iPhone Pro Max automatically unlocked. I instantly load a T-Mobile eSim with no problem.
Edit 2: after 60 days, still didn't receive the $200 gc code, send a message on Chat, no respond for 30 min but later I login the redemption code shows up and perfectly redeemed.
I don't know if cs did something or it just unlock exactly 60 days.
Sim was inside for about a week and after we travel to Europe and right after 60 days I change a sim and iphone was unlocked automatically )
Will keep Using Visible so just informing everyone looks like sim don't need to in the phone all the time )

I canceled my Visible service 1 day after the 60th day of service (to fulfill unlocking requirement).
I successfully ported my number back to Mint. Upon activation, my sim was not accepted.
Visible is saying I canceled their service on the 60th day. So now my number is with Mint but phone is still locked to Visible. I have an open ticket and apparently they're working on a solution. Sucks that it's during the holidays so I'm not sure if they're even working.
Anyone have any idea how and how soon this will be resolved, so my phone will be unlocked to use in Mint?

Visible customer service sucks ass so expect it to be fixed or not to be fixed at all

The process should be automated after you fulfill the 60 day requirement.

Right so I activated my plan on 10/23 and deactivated on 12/23 (60 days would have been 12/22) but it still didn't unlock
I took the sim out on the 61st day. They're saying I took it out on the 60th day. My number has already been ported to Mint. My mistake was not confirming with Visible the phone was unlocked before porting. I was too eager to get out of Visible. I essentially waited until I got the $200 gift card, paid for the 3rd month which I'm not using, and left. Hoping they can resolve tomorrow when everyone returns to work

I put the Visible sim back in my phone a couple days ago, even though it's obsolete now. I signed up for another Visible line (esim, new number, $5 first month) just so I can have some data. The mint sim is currently not in use right now
