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!

Can trade in for GC for 1st device without the promo. Trade in the 2nd device then using the GC to pay the rest. But then still missing the 200$ promo. Rather trade in 2 to get 2 then sell 1. More money doing that than the GC route.
This! I ordered one 12mini each TW and ST from Walmart (limit is one each) for $320(taxes included). So trading first, getting the GC, applying it to balance, nets another $110 off. Applause

quick question, my friend is the owner of the t-mobile account and my line is under his t-mobile account. When I do the trade-in, do I need to provide any information of owner account?


Thanks.

If you are a Costco member, you should go there and add the line to get a $300 Costco card.

Never trade in for GC before. So just go to the mobile counter and tell them that I wanted to trade in for GC?

Quote from TimK1788 :
I tried ordering phone and setting up a new TMobile line using both the BestBuy app and the website on a computer and each time I enter the new TMobile account info and submit to complete the phone order, it errors out with the message "Please try again we had an issue, but it should be fixed now." I did a text chat with Best Buy who had me call T-Mobile and they couldn't figure it out. I then noticed that I could still log in to my old Sprint account from 2018 despite the fact that it has no lines on it.

Has anyone run into problems ordering and setting up a new TMobile account through the Best Buy order process?

Has anyone traded in a new Total Wireless iPhone 12 mini?
I got the same error and its because my T-Mobile account is setup with Tax ID and not SSN. This deal can only be done with T-Mobile account that has been set up using SSN

I am in a business account, and do not know primary holder SSN. Can I still go into store to upgrade?

Just picked up my 13 trading in my Note 20. Did y'all know that you have to transfer the data in the store? Best Buy won't let you take the device home and send your device back later. Also, they require in store migration service which is $40. Had I known this, I would have gone to Costco. I must've missed this info on this mega thread.

Gonna try this tomorrow.. just confirming what i need to follow.. im new to t mobile
1) open 2 byod lines in costco t mobile with 300 cash cards - can u confirm whats the lowest plan offered?
2) upgrade both to essential plans in best buy by trading in my phones for 13 series
3) request for unlock to t mobile in couple of days

Expect the costco shop cards to be issued in 2 months.. so essentially ill be paying for 2 or 3 months essential plan for both lines which is around 2lines x 65 = 130 for 2 or 3 months before i can cancel?
1) Essential Plan is the lowest cost plan

2) You're not upgrading the phone Plan, you are trading-in phones (listed in OP) to one of the new iPhone 13 model for each line you decide.

3) No idea. I don't plan to request unlock any time soon as I have service with T-Mobile.

Costco rebate will take at least 14 weeks to receive

Please read: I am trading two minis- one for the gift card that nets me $110, which I can use for anything BB, and a second for this deal.

The regular trade in for the mini is 430. If you get one for 320(taxes included) from walmart, that is an easy 110 in BB bucks
