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!
Jon
Did you read the whole post? Maybe you should do that first
Trade-in devices will never come back. No matter where you do the tradein bestbuy, verizon, att, apple etc etc..

Just want to make sure I'm not missing something. Have an IPhone X I want to trade in. Says $390 as trade in.

I tried checking on T-mobiles site to see if anything was different and their offering $400.

So would the only difference be if I went through T-Mobile I get it as a bill credit compared to if I went through Best Buy I get the discount up front and have to buy the phone at the discounted rate?

Just tried to it on my wife's line and she got the text verification right away. But her line already placed the order. So this is specific to my line and not sure why its not working now, but was earlier.
A manager from Best Buy just called me and said this is never gonna work because they simply don't have the One Plan (my plan) in their system. Anyone able to get it to work with the One Plan?

Not sure about T-mobile, but Best Buy trade in = Value of phone (BB pays you like a pawn shop) + Bonus for trading in phone (Extra promo off the top)

For iPhone 8 this should be $100 + 145 bonus currently ($245 total). Last week was -$100 (BB "pawn") -100 (Bonus) - 100 (BB "sale" discount) for a total of $300

Current deal is worse for the specific phone I mentioned (iphone 8), but yeah. Oh and Activation of new sim is included, no out of pocket cost.

T-mobile will likely charge you for a new SIM card.

The One plan is basically Mangeta with more limitations (older provisions, but same cost unless promo). Can you switch over without messing your current rate?

Maybe try buying the phone online through BB?

Depends on your state. In certain states (e.g., CA), sales tax is calculated from the MSRP of the phone.

is this only for in-store pickup? it wont let me ship.
You have to pick up in store so you can trade in your phone. There is no shipping option to your house. Only shipping to store for pick up

For those interested in buying the 13 mini with the base 128gb:

I saw that OP as well as the promotion ad makes it look like they're forcing you to buy the $799 256gb 13 mini or the $799 128gb 13, but I don't need the 256 and I'm sure many others don't. I'm not sure about the website, but I clicked the link to $799 iPhone mini, then clicked 128gb and it changed to $699 (starlight, t-mobile). In the next step, it asked for the trade in phone details (iPhone 11 128gb) and it gave the full $550. I put the other in and I'm paying $150 plus tax, and the tax isn't on the full $699 either, just on the $150. The deal is appealing because I don't have to upgrade to Magenta Max and there are no monthly bill credits, but less appealing if you have to upgrade storage you don't need.

TLDR don't let the ad fool you into thinking that you have to upgrade the mini to 256 just to cash in on the order.

Looking to upgrade from a 7+, is it worth taking advantage of this deal or waiting for a possible T-Mobile trade in promotion in Nov / Dec?

Anythying can happen. They will not cancel it unless its taking them way longer than the backordered date. Even if they do, by thanksgiving you will be getting some other deal to compensate this.

Btw bestbuy gets their devices before the date they display. I had a 13 pro for order which was supposed to be ready for pickup aftwr 3 weeks but i got it within a week.
Counterpoint I had two orders supposed to be ready on 10/15 and am still waiting. Received an email saying if they can't fulfill the orders by 10/29 they will cancel them.
