To qualify for the offer, International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number cannot have been associated with a Mint Mobile plan within 90 days of activation.
So, if someone was on Mint, and left for less than 3 months, they cannot enroll for this sim.
Got super lucky on this... bought a $30/ 3 month 10gb card at Best Buy just around 45 days ago. Held off activating it while running down another plan I was on, activated that sim 2 days ago. They gave me 6 months on the 3 month card!! Couldn't figure out what was going on, now that I see this new deal I know.

the 3 free months stayed on his acct.
saves you from reinstalling apps, settings, username/passwords
1. Do I have 45 days from my purchase date (01-02) to activate (that would be until 02-16-21) and still get the 3+3?
2. If I do have until 02-16-21 and the sim is missing from the package do you think Mint would make it right , send a replacement and still honor the 3+3 promo?
Thanks.
Called Mint. The rep was most obliging and helpful. I was told the promo ends 01-07-22.
As long as I buy my sim ( we were talking about buying it direct from Mint and having it mailed) before 01-07 that it will qualify for the 3+3. The 45 days when ordered online will not impact the promo as long as I purchase before 01-07 AND activate by the 45th day after purchase. I was told that after 45 days from purchase the sim will no longer activate at all. ( I understand others have posted different about the amount of time to activate. I'm more interested in not losing the 3 bonus months.)
I'm happy. For my needs... It means I can purchase the sim Dec 28 by mail ( before 01-07-22) and activate it Feb 10 ( and still qualify for the 3+3 since that's under 45 days).
Shared that scenario with the rep and he confirmed. Number I called was: 800-683-7392
If anyone wants to speak to a rep. right away after calling 800-683-7392, press 2-2-3.

I went in person to Best Buy, showed them the SIM kit on their website (3 mths + 3mths free) and the CSR went to the locked case and retrieved the sim kit. The kit itself only states '3 month plan' and no mention of 3 free months free - on either the kit or on my receipt - however the CSR assured me that the free 3 months promo will apply when the sim is activated with Mint Mobile.
Can anyone confirm this?
Don't want to cancel my current service and switch over only to find out my sim kit is somehow ineligible for 3 months free.

If you're buying in-store then make sure you can see the sim card ICCID barcode from the back of the packaging (sim card is in there) -- some kits have missing sim cards (fell out of packaging)

To me, once you spend $45, jump to $90 and get unlimited if you might EVER use it (I won't mostly, but that one or two times make it worth not having to worry at all)
Finally, props also to OP inani49, very helpful!!

Does the 45 day activation rule with 3 free months, ALSO work if you do NOT buy it from Mint, but from BB/Target.
So for instance if I buy the 3 month plan from Target/BB in store on 1/7/2022 - will I have to ACTIVATE on 1/7/2022 for the extra 3 months or can I activate it within 45 days and STILL get 3 free months?

But I think it is a matter of losing 1 month vs potentially 3 months.
I mean on Jan 7 activation, I will surely get 6 months. On Feb 7 activation, I might get only 3. So even though I paid extra from Jan to Feb, I still get 2 additional months.
