You're referencing the T-Mobile deal? There is indeed a standard process by which the line level credits are migrated to account level credits so that you can continue to receive them on a monthly basis.

Good luck!

Not sure if you could game the system this way but does anyone know if you can trade in multiple phones? @FatKidDeals on twitter has a link to an iPhone 8 for $188 on Amazon and the trade in value is $245. Could I in theory trade in say a iPhone 8 and my current iPhone XS towards an iPhone 13?
1 phone for 1 phone only. sometimes u would probably get more selling on ebay... ymmv though.

How does this compare to the costco deal? Thanks in advance
Quote from byu7210 :
Also wondering the same. Couldn't find SD post on the Costco deal. Anyone know where we can find specifics to the Costco deal?
costco deal: https://slickdeals.net/f/15289906-costco-in-warehouse-offer-purchase-apple-iphone-13-smartphone-for-t-mobile-get-720-off-another-w-new-line-added?t=15289906
2 possible costco deal: trade-in or new line bogo $720 off

Quote from SmartHaddock3847 :
Can somebody tell me if I already have an iPhone 12 pro Max unlocked versiin usdd on tmobile 55+ 2 line plan, can I trade it in for iPhone 13 pro max? Do I need to open a new line or do anything else? Post says existing customers.

Also is t-mobile version same as unlocked version except t-mobile one is locked?
yes, u can trade-in. No new lines needed for bestbuy.com deal.
only phones from apple.com is unlock. All others will be lock to service provider sim first insert. This best buy deal requires payment in full, so you can get it unlock easily via t-force.

Quote from dagamer01 :
So I checked the $975 trade-in breakdown on bestbuy checkout. It shows $775 trade-in allowance and $200 Trade-in Promotion.

I am confused now. Is it that they will give $775 instant trade in and then$200 bill credit or will it be $975 all upfront credit?
goto checkout, that is the final price u will pay. (ie upfront)

So can continuing paying the remaining payments and upgrade to new 13 pro max?
​Yes. I think I got the iP12PM during the Mothers Day event and still have 1.5+ years left of EIP on it and there were no changes to my account. Best part about is that the iP13PM I just got from BB is theoretically not tied to my account at all (so no EIP) so it can be unlocked now (through TForce or wait 40days) and be basically an unlocked one straight from Apple.

I am from socal, i did this promo through online order and after tradein the value is $129+tax i paid $140 and the tax was charged on the remaining balance. Thats what i said that if you do it directly on store then you will see taxes on the value of the phone.
Strange. I placed the order online(still waiting for it) and was charged tax on full price. Dunno if they gonna adjust iat pick up time.

This promo is getting much attention because it is applicable to ALL plans, not only Magenta. I'm also never gonna give up my Simple Choice, if only because I get corporate discount on this plan, while Magenta is not eligible for any.

Can't get the trade in discount to show up at checkout. Good deal but after taxes and new phone case, maybe not worth it for me.

iPhone 13 pro max 256: $1200
iPhone 12 Pro Max 256 trade in: -$975
Tax: $114
New Otter box defender case: $60


+$399 total real cash out.

The deal is ongoing as of now, but stock is flakey at best. Prob due to this is the first time that basically all plans are included/accepted after Tmobile started prioritizing the Mangenta plans.

Some states charge tax on the full price! So don't expect that it will be adjusted at the time of pickup.
