Can someone confirm that if we buy the phone from other retailers (Apple, Costco, Best Buy), can we still trade-in at the corporate AT&T store? Instructions say to submit online at https://tradein.att.com , but like everyone else, I'm nervous about mailing it and would rather trade it in person if possible.
Apple yes. They advertise it on their site. They even follow up with an email from them reminding you that you need to trade in a phone to ATT.

Costco and BB not sure, will defer to others on that.

For those that did the trade in in store, I bought my iphone 12 at apple, did a instore trade in of iphone 8+ at ATT. The receipt says $140, and small line says up to $800 after that. So after a bill cycle or 2 i should start receiving the credit right?

Any Thoughts .

Any good place to buy an iPhone 8 or iPhone SE (2020) to do the trade-in? iPhone 8 goes for $250-$300 in my area... I noticed possibly Walmart AT&T prepaid offer for the iPhone SE is $149 + $50 autopay plan; not quite sure how that works.
Ebay. Got an iPhone 8 for 190.

Want to buy iPhone 12 for someone else who is on Verizon.
1. Can I buy iPhone 12 from Apple store with employee discount
2. Activate it on AT&T in store.
3. Trade-in XS in store
4. Activate phone on Verizon after 60 days but keep paying monthly installment to AT&T?

TIA

If I order the iPhone 12 pro tomorrow through Apple how long does it take to ship? And then when does my AT&T bill start? Because I currently have TMOBILE and I can't afford to have two phone bills at once. Sorry if this is a dumb question but I need to know this before I order.

I rather not risk it on an iPhone 8 from eBay. Condition varies on eBay and concern of stolen phones or blacklisted phones.

__________________

My current plan:
Nearest Walmart is 45 minute away that have the iPhone SE in stock according to the website... How accurate is Walmart website?

Other option is to go to AT&T corporate store and purchase the iPhone SE for around $230 ($149 + $65 plan + $15 activation(?) not sure if I'm reading the terms right...)

1. Buy an iPhone SE from Walmart and activate on autopay.
2. Cancel autopay and let the plan expire after 30 days.
3. Use the iPhone SE as my main phone until the iPhone 12 Pro Max arrives, as I plan on selling my current iPhone 11 that's locked to AT&T (can't pay off since it's on BOGO credit)
4. Stop by AT&T store and trade-in iPhone SE after activating the iPhone 12 Pro Max.

Any flaws in my plan? Will AT&T not accept the iPhone SE as a trade-in device by any chance since it's recently purchased?

Not sure what employee discounts are there from Apple... But if you're buying the iPhone 12 on an installment plan linked to your AT&T account, it will not work since the phone is locked to AT&T until the phone is paid off. You can't pay off early either; otherwise you will loose the monthly credit that offset the installment payments.

Don't see any flaws but just seems like a lot of work. I bought 5 iPhone 8's from eBay reputable sellers who sell hundreds and have 30 day warranties. Traded them in at Att a few days after I received them and I'm done. They check the imei.. blacklist.. stolen.. iCloud lock. All that would come up.

Per two Att reps I spoke with( not that they are ALWAYS correct) but :

Rodel : In line with that, I've checked our Trade-In promotion and good news! You are actually eligible to get the $800.00 promotional credits regardless of how many lines you upgraded as long as you will Trade-In a device with a minimum smartphone value of $95.00 or higher.
5 trade in devices per year.. says so In fine print, which is what they'll tell you when you only get credit for 5 lines and not 7...
