However, the telesales rep repeatedly said i would be getting the MIR. I even asked him to put it in the notations, he said no problem.
I paid 374.99 (MD taxes) total before the 100 MIR. Question is will i get the rebate based on the rep saying I will or will the "rebate dept" see that i do not qualify.
Anyone care to offer an educated guess?

My guess is that it will be declined, but you still have a chance by calling the rebate department IF the CSR did indeed make notations in your account.
Last time I filed a rebate for my Touch (Nov 07), I was fully qualified and followed instructions to the letter - still declined. Called rebate dept, and got the standard spiel "sorry system error, you're a good customer, so will expedite within 15 bus days". That seemed to be standard behavior for lots of qualified people - and we all got the same scripted response. Time before that, was also declined - went into to store and they fixed it for me. Looks like Sprint automatically (unethically, IMO) declines rebates, but you don't have to fight hard to get them.
