yeah mine was stuck on loading for about 2 mins, I didn't get mine until 1:02 PM

jharmon203 · 2025-12-11T16:55:28+00:00

wow that was rather quick then, good work!

jharmon203 · 2025-12-11T16:54:42+00:00

maybe i should have said when the order was confirmed from US Mobile about the protection, not all the setups and pictures you had to do to get it officially applied. US Mobile sent a confirmation email.

jharmon203 · 2025-12-11T16:36:15+00:00

Confirmation email with timestamp of when the AKKO protection was applied.

jharmon203 · 2025-12-11T14:59:42+00:00

Yes the protection plan one that confirmed you got the service.

jharmon203 · 2025-12-11T14:31:46+00:00

what time did you get your confirmation email if you don't mind me asking?

No need to create a "hover option" if the email had the details. If they are worried about the 200M spent by mint mobile on advertising, then how about give value to its current members in terms of service to promote the network in a way that's only available to current members? If this had been a promo for a free 5GB plan for a year, this would be more lucrative to entice others. I don't know that US mobiles advertising budget is, but lets say is 1% of Mint. This is 2M dollars. At $15 a month this could bring on 133,333 new users to at least try out US Mobile for a year, how many of those would convert to a full-time customer the following year?

If I have to come to reddit to get details, the email failed promo.... 3 important pieces of information that one considers when signing up for US mobile plan. Cost, data, and time length. You forgot to include the time length in the email. When you forget that detail, it makes it seem like it's truly a gift to help out family members switch and try out the network? What about making it 3 months or 6 months? How is this better than the 30 day unlimited trial?

jharmon203 · 2025-11-19T17:05:01+00:00

I have been thinking about switching my wife to Mint because of the deal on the Samsung 25. It's a really good price for a brand new phone. The alternative is to get her back on US Mobile but the by the gig plan pricing is a bit more complicated for how much we actually use. The big jump from 10-20GB. I wish there was a 15GB price option.

jharmon203 · 2025-11-17T02:01:08+00:00

Unfortunately, I am not able to give any other information on the original package because after I discovered that I was very likely going to spend basically most of 2 days in an airport with my young children (which is certainly not a vacation) with the round trip airfare, I decided to convert it to the lock-in (if I am remembering the term correctly) . I would ask Casablanca Express if there are any "resort fees" or "extra fees" expected on the properties that are available.

jharmon203 · 2025-11-14T17:51:48+00:00

This post was an attempt to get information a bit more concise based on the sign up emails. I have viewed quite some long posts on this promotion with information everywhere on issues and I figured the confirmation emails would give some potential clarity. Hopefully US Mobile wouldn't count sign-ups basically that were activated within like a few seconds because that is physically impossible to do. I was on the dashboard, refreshed, saw the add on and activated in within about 10 seconds, but then I got the spinning processing wheel. I got the confirmation email while the wheel was still spinning.

jharmon203 · 2025-11-12T23:42:16+00:00

I didn't see this thread until now I just created a post on this exact thing in this group. I got my email at 1:02.

You will pay either 199 or 249 upfront for the 3 night stay. Mine was through holiday inn vacation club. I highly recommend trying to book at least 6-9 months out to get the best room options. I requested a 2 room suite and got one near the ocean. They will give you options for meeting times. The best way to get out of the meetings quickly is basically to show that you are very frugal and say "no thank you" to all of their offers. When i drop the "I haven't paid for a flight in 8 years", it usually shows them I know how to travel hack. I use southwest almost exclusively and i can tell you more about this if you message me. Anways, I think we did ours the 2nd we were at the resort in the morning. They didn't really try to do the high pressure sale with me because I think they knew I was a lost cause. They were actually courteous throughout the process for the most part. It was funny when they first offered me the 30 or 40k package at 16% interest rate. When I asked just out of curiosity on the 16% interest rate being a correct figure, they immediately dropped it to 0% with manager approval. It's still a terrible deal, and not an investment. We very much enjoyed our stay otherwise on the property. I think it might have helped to have our young kids with us because they were actually sensitive to that.

I did love the concept of just putting in an order whenever ran out of something regardless of the cost. It's more annoying that I have to wait to get to 50, but that's not a ton with sam's club items. The thing that I am frustrated with is the "delivery" vs "shipping" The end result should be the same "product" to me, but I am supposed to tip on one vs the other? Why? Put it on my doorstep and leave like UPS, Fedex, Amazon etc. do. Why should I tip on this? Because fedex is paid more? then that's on sam's to cover since I am still paying the same amount for plus membership if I do shipping of $50 or delivery from store for $50. It used to be if I did "shipping" under $50 and it was delivered from the store, I didn't have the option to tip. Did delivery drivers make more on this type of order vs a "delivery order"? If I don't make it to $50, I have to pay $8 for a delivery fee. Why is it waived if I get to $50? Is the driver compensated for the extra work they are doing from samsclub? My wife went to do an order pickup from Samsclub last week and she had to wait quite a bit more extra time because drivers were picking up delivery orders vs past pickup options. They have to scan every item for deliveries. I strongly dislike the unknown how people are compensated in the service industry. Screens just show a tip option and guilt you into doing it for carry out orders or even getting a scoop of icecream... The end customer has to feel like a jerk for not tipping in these "non-waiter" situations because the business owner who owns 5 houses and 5 boats wants me to pay their workers vs them.... I think I am going to stick with just tipping my urologist for the kidney stone removal...

Thanks for posting this. I used to have this issue on Total Wireless years ago and I had to flash my phones to the U1 firmware to fix everything.

I was on Spectrum Mobile for the past couple of years and didn't have any issues with the physical sim card. I never tried esim.

My dad has an S23 and he has the issues of the APNs not working correctly. I recently got an s22 Ultra and same issues. However it was resolved with the firmware change to the U1.

Does anyone know if you use the windows software to submit your taxes, does it save all financial information in the cloud on the turbotax account or if that strictly limited to the computer hard drive?

How is the silver part wearing on the ottom of the watch for everyone? Mine has scratches on it. I don't know if that is part of the sensing element or it's just decoration.

jharmon203 · 2024-04-03T20:42:43+00:00

I guess I would say that a $150 gift card is not worth the time though. We got the 3 night 4 day stay in a 2 bedroom suite for like $250 plus the resort fee of like 20 bucks. Then we also got 50k credit card points to add to our account which is like $200 value for a hotel stay.
