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!

I'm trying to trade in an iPhone 12 mini for a iPhone 13 mini on an existing line.

Even after trying the tips in the wiki, can't get past the "We're sorry, there was an issue processing your request. Please try again later." error. Also tried in store and they're getting some type of error that stops them from processing the trade I'm doing.

I'm on a legacy T-Mobile One plan, does anyone know if the plan is the issue?

Anyone having issues at the Best Buy store pick up? The agent says activation required and it takes 45 mins. There's a long line and they want me to wait or come back a few days later?

I'm facing the same issue on Amplified plan; T-mobile reps have no clue why it's happening, and their engineering tickets ain't helped either.

But shouldn't take more than 45 mins. I went to another Best Buy earlier and they had me out in 10 mins. This location seems lazy I guess

I visited BB with my 12 mini but they said that they cannot create a new account for me. So I tried to order online and went create account method. At the checkout it was asking me to pay $65 for the plan. Will I get charged right away for the plan or is there any other work around?

It depends on the customers and reps. Some know how to do T-Mobile transactions and some don't.

Also, some customers pay the $40 to have the Best Buy reps back up their phone and set the new one up. Who knows how many gigs have to be uploaded. I dislike when customers like this are not better prepared. Has happened to me at T-Mobile stores and also Costco stores. Some even have to charge their battery since it's so low.

I went to pick up my 13 mini this week, no line. Whole transaction took less than ten minutes

I went in with the 12 min turned on to the settings screen, he scanned my barcode on my T-Mobile app and went to find my 13 mini. He started the process, I had my license in hand, he started to process everything.
