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!

There is no discrepancy on my Tmo account or my friend account. I traded in total of 8 to this point by using 2 diff accounts. If you're trading in with Tmo directly, then the rep is correct. But this deal, you're doing business with BB so Tmo doesn't care because they're still bill you monthly like nothing has changed. And please for the sake of everyone here, don't go into BB and ask the reps if you can trade in your phone that not paid off yet. Most of us that did multiple trades with phones that still under EIP including 2 from myself and still receiving monthly credits.

For your tax part. I paid everything off upfront so nothing being bill to my tmo account.
If you don't mind confirming-
1) you had existing tmo phone under EIP
2) you were receiving monthly bill credits on the tmo phone under EIP
3) you traded in said phone to BB
4) tmo continued to charge for old EIP and you still get monthly credits
5) tmo adds a new EIP to your line (so two EIP now)

Guys, tell me if this can be slicker, Costco BOGO & BYOD is still around. If i do BYOD (old device) get $300 Costco GC for first line, Buy 1 PRO Max (2nd line), Get 2nd Pro Max (3rd Line) and Get $720 Master GC. Wouldn't that be sweeter deal?

2 Pro Max @ 989 each = $1978
3 lines for 3 months = $400?

= (1978 +.400 + taxes) - ($700 + $300) = $1378
add 2% cash back on Costco Card

Walk away with 2 pro max for $1400 with your old device in your pocket?
BYOD and B1G1 promos @ Costco cannot be combined. The B1G1 voids the BYOD promo

You don't have to pay off the phone before trading it in. This deal and upgrade is all through Best Buy. Has nothing to do with T-Mobile. Just hand in your 12 pro Max to Best Buy during pickup. Tell the rep they can open the box of the new phone if they want to avoid returns and force restocking fees but don't let Best Buy activate the new SIM card let them scan the card to process the order but tell them you will activate yourself at home later on the my orders Best Buy website. When you get home just call T-Mobile to change to the new sim provided by Best Buy. T-Mobile is not involved in this upgrade whatsoever if you follow these steps.
Do you just pay the phone in full on pickup?

Should I avoid entering my tmo phone number for it to check upgrade status?

There are plenty of those threads out there.
Since you're already commenting on this thread, why don't you take a little more of your time and point us to the threads that you're referring to. I could have said the same thing about "there is a better deal out there for iphone 13" and let people go on wild goose chase! TIA

What are you talking about? He/she doesn't have to pay off the phone to continued to get the credit and to do this BB deal.

The only time you pay it off it you wanted to get your phone unlocked it sooner, then the credits will move to the account level rather than line level like you said.

TM doesn't care what you do with the phone as long your line is active. I had traded in 2-12P for 2-13PM under this deal and both phones are still under EIP and still getting monthly credits ever since. Nothing has changed on my account instead of showing my 2-13PM being used. The 12P still being show under EIP, how many months left, how much TM bills me each month and how much the credits are being applied.

So please don't provide any misinformation!

Sorry, a follow up question- Did you enter the ph# of the phone you traded in for them to verify upgrade eligibility? I did and it automatically changed payment for new phone from pay in full to eip.

BB already charged you in full if you chose paid in full when you got the pickup email. Pickup in store is just a tradein process. No payment is involved if you order online. I haven't done any in store order yet. So I can't answer your question.

I have 4 lines on my accounts. I just alternating between 2 numbers to place the order.

No, any phone number on your account will work. BB just needs to verify that you have an eligible account with Tmo.
