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!

Quote from Steckdev :
I'm currently on the Mother's Day special of trading in a iPhone to get a iPhone 12 Pro. However saw this and wondered about being able to trade in my new 12 pro to get the 13 pro.
Does anyone have experience with this? I have another 16 months of bill credits. Would this mess it up?
Would I even be able to trade it till it's paid off. But when that one is removed from my account would the credits stop?
I have T-Mobile and I have paid off phones that were on payment plans. The bill credits will continue to apply but probably upgrade another line to minimize any confusion.

I've never traded a phone in to Best Buy. Does it work the same as at a T-Mobile store? Do I just bring the phone? Or do I need the charger, charger cable, box, ear buds, etc?

what about credit then?
Best Buy Disclaimers

Trade-in allowance is calculated to represent a working device that turns on and does not have a cracked or broken screen. Your device will be evaluated when you trade it in to validate that it meets all requirements.

If you return your device, you will receive the trade-in allowance on a Best Buy gift card. Trade-in devices cannot be returned to you once your transaction is complete.

Trade in for 7Plus is wrong, they told my mom since she is on the 55+ Magenta Max Plan, she would get $400 for her trade in and not $250...

Anyone else getting an error when attempting to login to the T-Mobile portal when going through the trade in steps online?
I got the error every time I tried "send an e-mail" for verification. Verifying by text message always seemed to work.

T-Mobile standard policy is 40 days post-activation. Some folks sends twitter message to T-Mobile support with receipt showing paid in full and suggesting you need unlock for your employer's sim card.

I assume here in California we pay taxes on the full $1099.99 price before trade in value deducted?
Any cashback offer besides the Citibank $50?

I guess the way to look at it is: should I wait another year or should I trade in now? Here's the math (for me) for trading in a perfectly fine iphone 12 pro max 256gb for the same 13.

Trade in today:

Original cost: $1200
Tax paid originally on iphone 12: $117
Trade in: $-975


Total: $342 = the cost to use the phone for one year


Hold for one more year:

Original cost: $1200
Tax paid originally on iphone 12: $117
Trade in: $-700


Total: $617 = the cost to use the phone for two years. $275 incremental.


So year 1 depreciation is $342, if you choose to hold onto the older tech, year 2 depreciation is another $275. If you trade in today, expect your year 1 depreciation to also be $342. Is it worth the $67 extra to get a brand new phone for 1 year?
