  • How Trade-In Works:
    1. Calculate your trade-in phone's value
    2. Buy your new phone online
    3. Complete your new phone purchase online and activate your phone on the carrier's network (Best Buy will help with all that.)
    4. Pick up your new phone in one of our stores
    5. Bring your trade-in phone with you when you pick up your new one. Best Buy will check to make sure you're trading in the same phone you told them about online and check for any damage that might make your trade-in ineligible for the promotion.
    6. Best Buy will take your trade-in's value off the cost of your new phone.
      • Trade-in value is calculated to represent a working phone that turns on and does not have a cracked or broken screen. Your phone will be evaluated when you trade it in to validate that it meets all requirements.
      • Your order must be picked up from a store to complete your trade-in and apply its value to your new phone purchase.

just picked up my iphone 13 pro max blue 128gb and here is the entire process:
Im upgrading / trading my iphone 11 pro max .
Pre-ordered yesterday 09/23/2021 around 10 AM.
got a text an email this morning saying its ready to pick up.( was kinda surprised about this , but ig because this best buy has less people preordered , or got more stock , im in missouri)
I backed up my old phone to my computer . and reset the phone.
Got to best buy( I was one of the first 3 people there so i got help right away) , the guy asked me for my order number and name, then told me to get with a lady.
the entire pick up was about 15 mins, she asked for my id , then my old phone, she spent most of the time input stuff into the system. I confirmed on the machine my info is correct. she handed me the new iphone new in box with a sim card on top. I asked if she need to activate the phone or anything and she said no , when i put in the phone it should activate it self. got the phone and the receipt , now im heading home.
She didnt open the new phone box at all , she didnt ask if I need to transfer my old phone data to the new phone ( might be she noticed my old phone got reset)
what's the point of choosing a carrier if you pay almost full price lol
iPhone 13/pro is the weakest upgrade.
Only do it if you have a iPhone 8 or below.
Not worth $700/800 after all the hassle that you have to go through.
Your XR should be good through iPhone 14

Lol you iPhone people are bad with finances. Why the heck did you buy applecare+ when you are obsessed with upgrading every year for minor things.
Because I am not obsessed. Never did one year before. This is too cheap to pass up.

And you should have better manners. Rude comments are unnecessary.

So if I have a T-Mobile iPhone 12 Pro as a trade in and put it under as a Verizon phone to get the extra 100, will they check its Verizon iPhone when I take it to Best Buy? Or should not risk it and put T-Mobile and pay 100 more now ?

You can not upgrade on Simple Choice plan. You have to switch your plan to Magenta Max which is a more expensive plan.
Do the math and see if it's a good upgrade!

I am still receiving monthly credit from the previous trade in promo of TM (iphone SE) and I believe the phone is still locked. Is there anything extra I need to do to make it work, like asking TM to unlock my phone before going to BB? Will this forfeit the remaining credit?

I am able to check out (13 pro max and 11 pro max trade in) on simple choice plan as an upgrade at $384 plus tax on 1099 (CA sucks). Where does it say that my plan will change to Magenta? the section "These are the charges that will be added to your T-Mobile bill, plus any applicable taxes, fees or surcharges " is blank
