I have a question, if I'm going to activate at Walmart, am I still available for referral? Moreover, if I'm activate for plan talk + text first month, and second month I'm going to change to talk plan only so will I be eligible for $20 credit? Thank you

Why, you should still be able to put the person who referred you in the I was referred spot. Walmart uses the same activation system we do.

Hi! If I activate a new account at Walmart, can I port over my number later? Or does Walmart start the process right there? Thanks!

I just signed up yesterday (May 10) at 11pm, I feel like I've just been kicked in the face. Does anyone know if I can call in and get this promotion applied on my account? Otherwise, I was thinking to cancel my current plan (at the end of the month) and signing up for a new number at walmart, since I'm planning to open a 2nd line anyways.

You can port over later from your self-serve account.

@pointx nobody has kicked you. Deals come and deals go. This one happened to come one day too late for you to get on it. It happens.

You can cancel your current plan and sign up again if you like, but bear in mind that you will go get refunded anything upon the cancellation. So you will have lost whatever you've paid so far, plus your time and hassle of going to Walmart for this. Depending on your situation, I'm guessing it's probably not worth your while.

Thanks NDesai ! I assume Walmart gets the referral and someone else can't refer me?

Not exactly sure, but as Luddite mentioned, you can try telling them to use referrer's number.
