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!

Good people of Slickdeals... Forgive my ignorance on the matter but I do have a question:

I purchased my iPhone 12 Pro Max through TMobile last year when it released and am still paying on it. Am I able to take advantage of this offer and keep my current, grandfathered plan, or must I pay off my device first?

Check your credit card offers as well. I scan my AMEX Offers every week or so, but also say that the Citicard merchant offers through my Thank You Preferred card has a $50 off $200 at Best Buy, so that helped make the upgrade easier.

Thank and 2% from a popular cash back site helps just a tiny bit more.

Quote from foonte :
i suppose if u are still paying for the device, u do not qualify for the trade in? I got my 12 pro max last Dec and still making monthly payment and not finished paying of course... so my question is WILL I still get the $950 credit as a trade in? Anyone here in similar situation as i'm?

Pls share your experience. Smilie TIA.
Wish I knew the answer - I'd absolutely flip my promax for a new one for $125 if Tmo wouldn't call in my 30 month credits.

It's not a bad deal, but see it for what it is. It's a 30 month contract with T-Mobile. If you change or drop the service, you pay the remaining discount before you can leave. It's a way of locking you in without making you agree to a new service contract.

When can TMobile unlock it? Do we have to wait for the typical 40 days or since it is fully paid, can they unlock it instantly?
You just need to give a purchase proof from bestbuy and they will unlock in 3-5 days. Just got my 13 pro max unlocked today.

They don't check your phone lock or unlocked. I think as long as you still pay your 12 you will be fine.

Thanks, got more for my iPhone 12 than I paid for it, and upgraded to a 13 for $75. Best part is I can keep my plan.

And I assume you bought the 13 pro max within the last month?

I got the 13 pro end of sept and want to upgrade to the pro max. BB told me they have a strict 14 day return policy so I can't return the phone. They said that I have to do the trade In the phone in-person. Trade in value is $800. How is it lower than the 12?

Quote from Tebobo :
In my case, this deal is slightly better
Last BB deal iPhone XS trade in value is $320 + $100 sales = $420 (off)
Now iPhone XS is $430
$10 saving

However, for iPhone SE (2nd Gen), last BB trade in was $280 + $100 sale = $380 (off)
Now trade in value is $370
$10 Less than the previous deal
They actually raised the trade in price for the XS to $330 for the last deal so it's the exact same. I checked right before the deal ended
