  • 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

Some people have trade in at higher value and waiting for pickup... So far zero chance
I'm one of those
going before Friday

I think 1 person had success because the manager approved it since tmobile had lots of issues
I'm not holding my breath but it's worth a shot

Tried using the app, using the website, using a chrome browser, using safari, using MacBook, using windows, and even in incognito mode but the order wouldn't go through. I get that message after it says "Connecting to T-mobile". Uggh..
Sorry, it worked for me several times

Thanks to whoever told me about upgrading a EIP phone from the Mother's Day promo. Like you said it the credit and payments simply moved from an IPHONE 12 to the new iphone 13. Its so odd Trading in like a 4 month old phone but whatever… The memory bump and processor probably worth the $79 difference for me..
So if you are on the fence, upgrade.. especially if you are going 12 pro to 13 pro. That $99 for a promotion screen is worth it. I'm doing that next because I have another EIP i got somewhere down the line. I just have to find a Best Buy with stock…

What I'm seeing but no availability for pick up - would this add any time frame or contractual obligations with Tmobile? Or would it just use the "Upgrade" and I wouldn't be able to upgrade this number for a while?

Thanks!

iPhone 13 Pro - 100.00 off and $530 for a iPhone 12 Mini trade in so ~$400.00 to upgrade - not seeing a actual $200 off

Ask the mobile department to do the trade in not through TMobile system
Ask them to process the trade in as if they were doing it onto a best buy gift card through best buy systen. In very familiar with that store
Thanks. Unfortunately, they told me that they process everything through Best Buy and not T-mobile system?

The iPhone 12 mini was supposed to be 430 so the 200 off is the 100off plus the extra 100 for trade in

It looks no one was successful on high value SE trade-in. I have a 13Pro ready to pick up at store and found someone selling SE for $120. Should I just cancel the order?
Yes. I tried in two stores, the same thing and no go. Best Buy system has been updated and doesn't let them to complete the pickup. Afaik, all managers have been informed about the glitch.

Are you a new tmobile customer or are you an existing one? They were able to unlock it for me after I sent them the bestbuy invoice and the imei. Submitted the request on Friday and got unlocked today. I am with them for over 10 years so maybe that makes a difference.

That's really weird, ask if they can process trade in device as if it was a Verizon device and not specifically TMobile varient

Is anybody successful with placing a new order with Bestbuy? I keep getting "Please try again we had an issue, but it should be fixed now." for the past 4 days now. Chatting with CS is of no help either.
Worked for me on Friday when i picked up the 13. $20 for the iPhone 6 plus another $100 for promo (total $120 for the iPhone 6). The paper they gave me showed $20 but my card was charged properly.

This might be dead? Selected an iPhone 12 for trade on and value was 620 and went through everything and I'm not seeing $200 off. Price for iPhone Pro Max with trade is $406. If I was getting $200 off wouldn't it be 2
$206?
