Replying for what I think will be the final time to my own message. I actually did just get both of my Walmart gift cards, so I don't have to fight with Walmart again this year, yay! I did have to wait almost the full 20 days from when the phones were shipped to get the cards, but it was certainly worth it in the end. I didn't actually have to activate the phones since I ordered online, but I of course did have to enter into the installment agreement with my phone carrier to get the cards. I still have the new phones in their shipping boxes right now, in fact, as I am waiting for the batteries on the 12 mini and 13 mini to get below 80% before I start using the new phones.
