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!

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 have same problem all day long Frown

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.
I know that. I'm just asking the process of trading in for GC.

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

same issue
i even tried with my wife's name/ info and still same issue
I am not sure what you guys are talking about but the trade in value for 12 mini is $630 even now. Basically they are just referring to the base tradein value which is $430 and there's $200 on top of that value as a promotion which is still active.

i guess i will ask this for the 5th time here as it is sill un answered... Did anyone cancel the tmobile service immediately after the device unlock within a month? Or can i cancel the service after successfull device unlock within a month without any consequences from tmobile ?
Someone over ST thread post this... hope it address some of your concerns:

Quote from zyrst
I did two trade-ins and found two things listed in the wiki are different with my experience:
1. You need to currently be on T-Mobile; otherwise you'll need to sign up for a new plan which will have a hard credit pull.
I opened new account and gave SSN but was told it was not hard pull. My credit score had no change since then;
2. After the phone is unlocked, cancel the T-Mobile plan; ask them to pro-rate any current charges.
After the two phones were unlocked within one week of purchase, I called to cancel the service. I was charged $130 for two Magenta lines. There was no prorate charge. I had to pay full amount in my "last bill".

You can request for unlock in Twitter/fb/insta on Tforce and say you want to get it unlocked since u paid the value in full ans want to use the secondary sim. They will take up the request which will be unlocked between 1-3 days.

Whatever its showing on the page now which is Dec17. Remember these dates are tentative and people received their phones as early as within a week to cancellations of orders if not available by the estimation dates.

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

Got it thx

Keep checking it everyday in your area and also don't be picky about the color. Everything OOS very fast especially the Pro and Pro Max version.

The only way to get around it is to open a new T-Mobile account then use the line(s) on that to do the upgrade. Thanks to user @coloradoman_in_socal, who provided the me the information about the Costco $300/line rebate deal on new account/line. So I opened a new account at Costco with two lines on Essential plan and expect to receive $600 rebate in 4 months. Then used a line on that new account to do the upgrade deal at Best Buy.
