I work at a cell phone dealership and we sell boost mobile as well as the cards. I also live in New York, which may be a bit different from wherever you guys live. We get alot of customers coming into the store to buy $20 boost cards. Being the good salepeople we are, we enter it in for the customer(also so they cant blame us for selling them a crappy card when they already put the minutes in).

Boost is having a lot of issue's with re-boost cards, Sups at boost mobile blame the people who activate those cards, but it ain't there fault they just want to re direct the customer to the store. They usually tell the customer that it make take up to 8 hours to get on the account when really it aint going to happen like that.
