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!

Stupid phones are getting closer to $2000 and they get tossed the minute a new one comes out because they're suddenly "obsolete". At least you're getting some kind of trade in value if you're one step down.

Oh ok, I thought all Verizon iPhones were unlocked by default. Thanks.
They changed it to 60 days locked and then automatically unlocks. So if you can wait 60 days for the unlock you can insert a Verizon sim. They did this to minimize theft of Verizon phones

It looks like trade-in values have diminished. Tried it on SE 2nd edition which is $10 less and the iPhone 12 is $25 less.
For those of us who already placed orders online for store pickup when the higher trade-in values were still in effect, will those trade-in values still apply and be honored at the time of pickup now?

Or will Best Buy somehow attempt to claw back money to account for the lowered trade-in value when we pickup our new phone?

What's the BYOD deal?
Costco is giving $300 for Bring your own device for T-Mobile network, I am using Mint so thinking of using this option and then trade in next day (Upgrade from 11 pro max to 13 Pro max) in BestBuy.

You can get up to two- $300 gift cards but will also need to pay service for at least 2-3 months, until you receive your GCs. Which will eat away a bit at your 600$. But still net positive.

Why would the iPhone 12 credit be $700 when I'm seeing $725 on the main page here and on the main page of the Best Buy website?

I'm seeing $700 when I'm in the cart, select upgrade, and select the iPhone 12 options.

I believe I'm on the same boat. Got my 12mini last year when there was some trade-in bonus going around. Have you got a confirmed answer from tmobile or bestbuy about it?
Yes I did the trade in of the 12 Mini already. Trade in value of 128gb 12 Mini was $630. Had I gone with the 13 Mini, I would have only had to pay $69 or whatever. But I got the 13 regular so paid around $169 plus tax. And I will still be billed and receive bill credits for the 12 mini. I've been an SE (1st edition) smaller form factor kinda guy and was excited when 12 Mini came out, but honestly the bigger size is easier on my eyes, especially when reading news and maps.

They lowered the trade in value across the board. My iPhone 7 is $5 lower.

I got the email from BB that the phone is ready. They mentioned they would keep it until Nov 25th.
Is it worth getting it now or wait till Nov 23rd to see if there is any better bf deals come?

699.99+Taxes for 256GB 13Pro Max.

I think xsmax will never see the $500 tradein price in BF deals, but may be there will be some bogo offers?
Costco seemed to be oos on their last promo. Not sure if i want to stand in queue during covid. Confused. But its for wife, so ANY way need to get it. I am waiting for my poor samy screen fixed.
What was your initial pickup date? Was it ready earlier ?

BestBuy is taking all of them as backend orders and sure they will cancel them until they get the stock.

I ordered an iPhone 13 Pro Max, when the site was saying Pte-order (30-Sep) and the availability will be by 15-Oct. When I went to the store on 15-Oct, they said it is delayed and is not in stock. After that, they had sent an email mentioning that the product is delayed and if not fulfilled by 29-Oct, they will cancel the order. After 29-Oct, they just cancelled the order. This is if you ordered when it is a Pre-order. Consider the delay when they are saying back ordered and Thanks giving around.
