Do it after, but also trade in at an AT&T retail store. Dont trust the 3rd party to rate your phone.
Is there anything you need to do to trade in at the AT&T store? I ordered from Sams club and they tell me I must trade in Via mail in.

wait for what? AT&T seems pretty all in on the 'You only get discounts for long lock-ins on more expensive plans" strategy these days.

I just said screw it and ordered an unlocked 12pro max from apple this morning instead, used a card to get 5.25% cash back and will keep my cheap plan with no carrier lock or credits to keep track of.
I am waiting for Holiday deals. There are bound to be some retailer giving gift cards (Best Buy, Target, etc.) or deals on outright purchase this holiday.
I'm not losing my employer discount or 9gb shared plan.

For those with older shared plans with discounts, the only upgrade options are:

1. Loyalty 2 year plan on low cost XR/XS/11, etc. - adds $20/mo to your access fee per line. That is basically $20*24=$480 which is the same cost as the discount they give you on the phone... so it's not even much of a deal.

2. Upgrade to Unlimited plans for $40-50 more per month. Can get $850 trade in value, but the +$40/mo increase over 30 mo = $1200... which is also the same price as a phone outright. You do get unlimited data, but if you don't need that, it's definitely not worth the $40-50/mo.

3. Buy the phone outright and keep your old low cost plan. - This is the cheapest route. Just have to wait for deals on phones or buy used.

4. Buy phone outright and Switch to pre-paid

5. other?

Anyone have success waiving the $30 upgrade fee? So far 3 reps said no and the other rep was able to offer $45 credit out of the total $90 upgrade fees but I declined.

Also, to clarify. Do I need to still do the from even if I'm taking my phone in-store for the trade in?

My SO has the 1 line unlimited and pays around $80 w/ hbo and watch tv. She refuses to leave. So for her trading in her iphone x is the way to go for $800, but now they decreased it to $700 (she wants the max) I'm on Verizon pre-paid $40 and will just buy the phone outright. I don't see any other way. I did the visible deal last time and it was just too annoying to attempt that again.

I tried to drop my trade in phones at the store and they said to wait for the trade in material in the mail and send it in. They wouldn't take it.

So you have to MAIL it in, or simply bring the material to the store? I don't trust mailing the device which is why im asking.

I gave my trade in at the store. The representative working there said he did the same thing.

Did you receive an email about your trade-in after pre-ordering? Also, did you still have to fill out the online form at tradein.att.com at all or does it not matter since you traded it in-person?

I haven't received an email on the trade-in yet. Just about my order confirmation.

I have an iphone X with a cracked screen. Phone works fine other than that. Anyone know if that still gets the $800 tradein, or will i have to fix the screen first?
Cracked screen iPhone X is valued $100 so it will work.

Was it a corporate store?

Thank you! I read through the forum above and I decided not to trade in my phone. Att is running a scam here. There are hundreds of complaints for undervalued phones going on. It's truly discouraging.
So you're going to pay full price for your phone?
