Deal Details
Just about every website is offering up to $1000 for iPhone 13. However, here is a strategy that is an inexpensive solution to get an $800 trade in credit.

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/cond...1804983518

Go to eBay to find an unlocked S9. Most S9's are going for $90-$140. Use this phone as a trade in. Be sure and check the description for the condition of the S9 phones. If the phones are cracked or have spots you won't receive the full $800 promo credit.

Also you will need to have the Play More, Do More or Get More Unlimited plans. Great deal for such a great strategy. All together you should net around $650-$700 for trading in an S9.

These deals already assume you are on an existing $40 or more a month plan and not a $15 a month prepaid plan right? Trading up to a big 3 postpaid plan usually runs around $30 more per month than a postpaid plan so around $720 over 2 years?

Wow really! My son's iPhone 11 has a cracked screen, so I can trade that in and get $800 for it?
Yes. When you enter in the details at the checkout on the trade in, it will ask you what type of damage. Screen cracks are accepted and gives the same $800 value

Nice deal hope they also offer it for the pixel 6
^ This! Way more excited about this release. But man, they're offering 800 for my s10+ which is amazing. Double what samsung offered me not long ago and over double what I can unload it for today. The ONLY reason I was thinking of pre-ordering an iPhone. But if Pixel 6 is going to offer a similar deal, I'd wait a month.

I came to Verizon 2 months ago with the BYOD $500 gift card offer. I received the gift card and wondering if I can now upgrade the phone with this deal.

They had such a more generous list last year. I traded a pixel one that could barely turn on for more than 30 seconds for $800, plus they had $300 off the iPhone 11 promax because the new one was coming out a week later.

I believe you should be able to use this offer. Terms of the $500 BYOD offer is to maintain service on premium unlimited for 12 months.

Thanks for the S9 trade in tip. I was at the verizon store when I read this and had just placed an order for a 13 pro and 13 pro Max. I was trading in an X and a Xs Max for $800 trade in credit each. I asked the rep if I could trade in the S9 for the same $800 credit and he confirmed I could and said he'll take care of it when I bring the trade in phones next Friday when the 13's come in.

Purchased a couple S9's locally from FB marketplace for $160/each. I now know I overpaid since I didn't realized verizon would take cracked screens but oh well. still a better deal and I can give my X to my son and sell the Xs Max for more than $160.

Lol.

Verizon has the best customer service out of Sprint/T-Mobile/ATT.

Verizon, for most of the country, also provides the most reliable and fast service.

Ive tried all the major carriers and even tried MetroPCS a prepaid carrier - none come close to Verizon.

Only those who can't afford a phone plan from Verizon will come here and poo poo all over the company.

For those of us who already are on Verizon and paying for an Unlimited Plan this is an outrageously good deal - $800 over 2 years of billing credits.

I plan on keeping my Pro Max for 2 years anyways - but now I can get it for $300 instead of $1100 thats unheard of esp considering in the past most trade in deals required a new line / port in or required a phone that was released in the last 2-3 years.

I traded in my iPhone SE 2020 i purchased from the Walmart Slickdeal 1.5 years ago for $200.

So i used a phone for 1.5 years and Verizon gave me $400 over retail and $600 over what i paid? Sounds like pretty good customer service to me

And extra $500 with port in
Can you link me the information on the $500 with port in?

I see this as bring your own device promote and the device needs to be on the plan for 45 days.
