Switch Your Family To Sprint And Receive $400 Store Credit

Sprint is looking to entice families (or individuals with numerous lines) away from their current carriers by offering an instant $400 store credit towards the purchase of “qualifying devices.” While that $400 is sure to catch your attention, it’s the “fine print” that caught mine. In order to receive this promo, you have to activate three or more lines on an Everything Data Share or Simply Everything Data plan — one of which, must be ported over from a non-Sprint company (Virgin Mobile, Boost Mobile, and Common Cents Mobile are subsidiaries of Sprint). The stipulations don’t end there.

You’ll also need to:

  • Visit a store to receive the promo
  • Sign a 2-year contract
  • Have your lines active for at least 60 days
  • Spend the entire $400 at the time of purchase

As if that wasn’t enough, the $400 credit isn’t good towards tablets, USB modems, or accessories, and… you will not be eligible to receive any qualifying rebates on devices purchased using your in-store credit.

So, assuming your contract is up (or close to up) at your current provider — you wouldn’t want to pay an ETF — you can head into your local Sprint store from August 19 through September 15, make the switch and get $400 towards some new phones.

Anyone biting?

    I’m considering switching mine, and the wife and kids. I’m concerned about coverage, but I’m thinking hard. If Apple moves the iPhone 4 to the free slot, I could get a 4 and two new 16GB iPhones for free! I might even pay to cancel my AT&T contract and pay the fee. It seems like it would be worth it. Plus we’d all be on the same upgrade schedule which is a huge plus, as that seems to be the biggest obstacle to moving carriers. Seems like one of us is always waiting their contract out.

      Actually you could do that now. The 4S dropped to 149.99 and the 4 is 99.99.

    Interesting that it ends September 15. Most likely before the new iPhone will be available in stores. If Apple has their even on September 12, they normally release the phone they announce in stores one week later which would be September 19. I am definitely waiting for the new iPhone and will be staying with AT&T.

    As evil as AT&T is, the service for my area is exceptional. Sprint on the other hand is terrible in these parts. I will be staying with AT&T and getting two new iPhones

    There are tons of families on AT&T family plans that would love to switch when the iPhone 5 comes out. If Sprint could market a program similar to this that would help people buy a new phone and even perhaps defray some of the penalties for those still in AT&T contracts, they’d double their customer base.
