An employee on the Sprint subreddit posted that tomorrow's promotion has been changed. Instead of three months, you will have to have had your phone for seven months to be eligible.

I can confirm this.

Alright, I've coached up my parents with enough knowledge to make them dangerous tomorrow at a Sprint store.  I hope it goes as planned.  They started their leases on Nov 29, 2014, so they're past the 3, 7, or 12 month cuts.  My dad's line still isn't showing the "upgrade eligible" icon online yet, but that doesn't make any sense as it was started the same time as my mom's which does have it. Oh well, hope it works for them!

I'm showing on my brother's account that no loyalty credit will be added upon checkout.  I really do not want to lose his $19 credit so I'll probably call in shortly.

 

Why do the loyalty credits vary so much, $19, $15, $10??  When I got the $15 one last Nov (2014) they said (and was in writing) as long as you keep leasing a device, you'll keep the loyalty credit.  I'm assuming that the credit amounts, and maybe the fine print have evolved with it over the year???

EDIT: Just realized your initial question.  Bestbuy had a promo for $19 credit during a period of time and we took advantage of it on one line.  At the same time, Sprint's was $15/line through them.  Now I believe it's been bumped down to $10 credit per line.

My dad is reporting that the employee he's dealing with indicates that there is NO problem keeping his loyalty credits, upgrading his current leases, etc. I'll update if this isn't the case in the end.  They're spending the time using the Samsung switch utility to transfer stuff.....68 year old parents don't get "the cloud".

 

EDIT as an update: 

 

It looks like everything went as planned.  There is a $200 charge lingering on our Sprint account at this time for the Lease Cancellation Fee, but the employee assured my dad that would clear up in a day or two as they work things out.  It also appears as though the $15 loyalty credit will remain as well.  Hope others have luck. 

 

EDIT EDIT:  That $200 charge is a placeholder until the leased devices that were turned in make it back to the Sprint warehouse and get into the system there.  Sprint CS has been really great today.  Well done to them! 

 

Also, the Loyalty Credits will remain in perpetuity until you change your plan, so do NOT change your plan, that's the only way they can take them away from you.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
