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.

And extra $500 with port in
Do you actually have prove you owe something to the other carrier or do you just get $500 for porting in a number?

My son has an old iphone 6s without service but I plan on getting him service this year. Could I go buy a prepaid SIM card at Metro/T-mobile and port it over to my existing verizon account (that the rest of the family is on) and get the $500 port in credit?? That would be nice

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.

Middle of page it says

Thanks. Look like in order to take the $500 port in credit, you have to have a balance on the phone.

^ 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'm in the same boat. I've currently got a Pixel 2XL that's pretty old at this point. Ideally I'd like to decide between the Pixel 6/6 Pro or the iPhone 13, assuming prices are similar...but with this deal ($400 for my 4 year old pixel 2XL), I'm tempted to jump on this and switch to the dark side.

I assume none of this is relevant to someone like me that is on a shared legacy 10 GB plan with a few other people? Trying to figure out how to upgrade my wife's iPhone 7 which is still working okay but I know it's a matter of time before I have to get her something updated. Really don't want to spend $1,000 on a new phone...

These promotions are to get people onto the new unlimited plans.

Sucks that it is through bill credits and if the device leaves the plan (even if it stays on Verizon) the bill credits disappear.

Is it bill credits even if you buy in full?

I preordered an iPhone 13 and selected my wife's current iPhone 11 as the trade in. Can I change the trade in to a S9?

Yeah, it's likely not worth it. I'm on a 8GB shared legacy plan. Verizon forces the unlimited upgrade on both lines when upgrading a single line with the new iPhone promo.

The cheapest option for me would take my data plan cost from $70 to $140, which basically means the savings I would get on a new iPhone would be pointless after year 1.

You would be better off eating the cost upfront and saving money in the long run by sticking with the 10GB plan.

Is it better to do this deal with Best Buy or Verizon? The only difference I can see is that with Best Buy I can pick up 9/24 and Verizon only gives me a shipping option for 10/1.
is the trade-in process the same whether you do Best Buy or Verizon?

Is this possible with a qualifying phone that you are still making device payments on? Pay it off first perhaps?
