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!

If you want just one phone without troubling carrier or number then this is current deal that gives best trade in value. I traded in xsmax for 500 to get 13pm for 760 oops including taxes.

If you have Costco, all they had in my area was regular 13 or 13mini, no pro. That's buy one get second discounted without trade in which is current best deal. May be wait a week to see BF deals. In my case 13pm is what wife wanted and I don't have time for dealing with this one, so gone with bb trade in.
Thanks. If you're referring to $720 off at costco then it needs to add an activate a line which I can't.

We were unable to activate the device you purchased on our site, so we had to cancel the item(s) included in your mobile package. We will now begin processing a refund for your payment.

If you still want this device, we recommend scheduling an in-store appointment with a mobile specialist who can help recreate your order and successfully activate your device.

We value you as a Best Buy® customer and hope to see you again soon.

Got the cancelled email as well, but saw the phone was in-stock at the store afterwards. It seems like once they reach the store they're cancelling orders due to a glitch in their system, then recirculating the device back into the store for availability. Pretty lame. I didn't have to time to rush there in the morning to snatch it.

As long as it shows up in stock, you can place a new order and it will be ready for pick up soon. You have about 7 days to pick up it.

It depends. Some got it unlocked in couple of hours. Some got it in couple of weeks. Usually it will take about 3 days.

My order was cancelled with the same message. I called Bestbuy and after 3 transfer, their cell phone activation specialist told me "no body process your order so the system cancel it automatically" and she advise me to place order again.

Yes, I received the same exact email a few days ago. 🥲 Are you a new T-Mobile customer? Did you create your T-Mobile account via the Best Buy website? 👀 If so, you may benefit from my comment below. I would definitely give T-Mobile a call to see what the problem is.
Quote from storytimeisover :
For any new T-Mobile customers getting their orders canceled, you may want to call T-Mobile to see what the issue is. You may have to order your SIM card (BYOD) from T-Mobile directly and then order your phone from the Best Buy website. 😉

Originally, I ordered on October 23rd for a November 26th pickup and that was canceled when the phone came in early and Best Buy couldn't activate it with my T-Mobile account (I'm assuming). 😩 Whenever I tried to place a new order and reached the credit check screen, I kept getting the error: "Please try again we had an issue, but it should be fixed now."

I ended up having to call T-Mobile to set up an account over the phone. The rep said that he could see that I tried to open an account, but it kept failing. The problem was that they needed to ask me some additional identity/credit verification questions. The entire process took ~30 minutes and my SIM card is arriving today (shipped overnight).

Hopefully, I'll be able to activate it and then reorder the phone via Best Buy today. *fingers crossed*

_________________________

UPDATE: Had to call T-Mobile to activate the SIM and verify more information 😩 (took about 10 minutes), but afterward I was finally able to order the phone from Best Buy using the "upgrade" option.

For those who got their orders canceled and want to reorder, you may benefit from contacting Best Buy to see if they will credit your new order for the trade-in difference.

When I originally made my order the trade-in offer was $550 and now it's $540...not that big of a deal, but in 5 minutes of chatting with Best Buy (and explaining the circumstance), I was able to get them to refund the difference. 😉

I just got the phone and used my Verizon sim to activate. Everything went fine and I'm able to use the phone. I see it sim locked under settings-> about. How do I get it unlocked? Verizon? Or T-Mobile?
