Device cost if porting a phone number: $9.99
3 months of service after factoring the $25 "new customer" pop-up coupon OP mentioned: $165
9 months of service @ $30: $270
9.99 + 165 + 270 = $444.99 + tax on device cost
Also, Capital One Offers has a $7 back clickthrough offer.
Community Reviews
The Cricket iPhone 16e deal stands out as a low-cost way to get an iPhone with a fresh battery, and the phone can also be traded at Apple for about $310 in gift card value. The included 3 months of service are prepaid, and the main catch is Cricket's 365-day paid-service unlock rule, so the phone stays carrier-locked for a year. Porting and activation can be smooth, though some orders were cancelled and in-store pricing can add fees. It is most compelling if the Apple trade-in angle matters more than immediate unlocking.

Anybody having similar issues? Tried multiple times, combinations (payment, vpn, ..).. no luck.
Now when is comes to the apple gc, some have reported having a lot of trouble when putting it to use. Do report back on whether you're able to make a purchase with it. Most have the best luck when going in person to a brick and mortar apple store to use the gc.
You have to just look at what they tack on to the bill at the store. You can ask for the BS to be removed. Yes, the $9.99 deal is online only with 3 months upfront. What is *not* advertised is the $29.99 deal in store with the 1 month upfront, $25 activation + taxes.
