Metro by T-Mobile Corporate Stores have 64GB Apple iPhone 11 (Black) + $50 Virtual Prepaid Mastercard (after rebate) for $99.99 when you Port-In a number to a new line on their $60 Plan and remain active/pay for 3 consecutive months of service ($180 total). A one-time $20 activation fee applies.

Thanks to community member roberthhid finding this deal.

Steps:
  1. Visit a participating corporate store location (strongly recommended, as pricing/fees can vary at non-corporate 'authorized dealer' locations).
    • How to find a corporate store: click Here, select 'Filter', check the 'corporate' box, then search by zip code.
  2. Port-in a non-T-Mobile/T-Mobile-based MVNO (i.e. Mint Mobile) number to a new line on Metro's $60/month prepaid plan
    • Number must not have been active on the T-Mobile network within the past 180 days.
  3. Purchase 64GB Apple iPhone 11 at sign-up for $99.99 (applicable sales tax will be due at time of sign-up)
    • A one-time $20 activation fee applies
  4. Remain active / pay for 3 consecutive months on the $60/mo. plan
  5. You will qualify to receive a $50 Virtual Prepaid Mastercard (after submission of a properly completed redemption form, details provided in-store at time of sign-up).
    • Price: $99.99 (phone) + $180 (for 3 full months of unlimited service on the $60 plan) + $20 activation fee = $299.99 total + tax (before counting the $50 Virtual Prepaid Mastercard bonus)

MetrobyT-mobile has iPhone 11 for $100 plus tax and $60 for first month plan. If you keep the service for 3 months you get a $50 gift card but Metro CSR says you get the gift card only if you stay on the $60 plan (otherwise you can downgrade to the $30 plan.)
All of my iPhones from Metro have unlocked automatically after 6 months plus ~1 week.
This is despite only paying for first month then putting in sock drawer. You can immediately unlock these by using the "white sim" available on eBay.
No activation fee at corporate stores!

Buying a money order with the gift card essentially gets the cash off the gift card. Take the money order to your bank and deposit it. I had issues adding the gift card to my Paypal and Venmo which is why I went the money order route. My cash offer from GameStop was $140 less than the visa gift card. Most grocery stores and even Walmart offer money orders. Swipe the giftcard as debit and enter a pin number and you should be good to go.
Good luck ever getting this
I think the tax is on $500 so 100 + 7% or whatever your state tax is + 60 + 20 = 215 approx

182 days now, but the phone is still locked. Reset and restored the phone. Neither can work. Should I contact Metro rep, or wait for couple of days?

Update: Check the phone today and it's unlocked. I didn't do anything.

Got 2 iphone 11 in the middle of March, both unlocked after 181 days or so. I only paid for the first month of service, didn't have autopay so I just let Metro cancel it.

Another DP:

Got mine in late March and counted the days elapsed. On Day 181, the phone unlocked automatically. No restart or anything needed. Only paid for 1st month of service and then let MPCS cancel the account due to non-pay after that.

I opened it on 5/1 and it is still locked, but I want to port it out. I guess it may take a day or two more to be automatically unlocked. Can you port out when the phone is locked?
