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!

Picked up a 13 this morning after turning in a 12 mini. This is my 2nd, so I knew what to expect. Almost 7 hours since I picked up my phone, my order status still shows 'Ready for pick up' and no email confirming that I picked it up. Should I just go in again and make sure they did the transaction right? (it was a kid that helped me, would hate for him to get into any trouble). The confirmation for my 1st pickup was instant btw.
Yes. Next time you go there, bring attention to a rep and explain. If there's any issue in their side, they need to fix this.

Crazy! My first store I got a 16 year old who did everything in 5 minutes and done. The 2nd store it was much longer with a guy who was full of himself and said he's been doing this for years.

I went into the Best Buy store and their promo sheet that the salespeople use shows that this Trade-In promo is stackable with the BOGO $800 Off iPhone 13. The salesperson didn't know how or if it would actually stack. Anyone successfully stack these promos?

I don't remember if it was past the 40 day mark or before, likely past. I just remember that as soon as I paid off the EIP in my online account the account history showed "Unlock request submitted" or something similar.

Also TMO doesn't process auto-unlocks after the 40 days like VZW does, at least to my knowledge.
"Unlock request submitted" may not mean anything. I paid off one OnePlus 8T phone early this year and also got that message. But the phone could not be unlocked (tried permanent unlock in Settings). I had to work with one T-Mobile rep and put it into whitelist, and then it could be unlocked successfully.

just an fyi. my rep was a little confused with the trade in today because the extra $200 was not showing. It turns out she had to go all the the through with confirming the device and it would show the extra $200.

also the 12 mini trade in online went back up to 630 today. i canceled my order yesterday that was locked in at 600 and reordered today.

Has anyone tried (successfully or otherwise) to get BB to match today's trade in values ($630 for iPhone 12 mini) for orders placed yesterday (@$600)?

Were you you able to order again for same line? I also tried to cancel the last day 600 order and order again with 630. But it's giving me multiple order on same line error.

You should have read so many of us were saying, " DO NOT CANCEL the orders on your own".

Question to the experts - I created an order for 13PM a few days back when the trade in value for the 12 mini was at $630. Fedex delivered the 12 Mini this morning and I realized to my horror that I had ordered the green (which is what they delivered) but the trade in I created was for black.

I tried chatting with BB help online but they had no clue and asked me to go to the store. 13PM ETA is 11/17 but I'm sure it will be here at least a week earlier.

Is it ok if I trade in a green mini instead of the black mini? Or does the whole thing needs to be redone?

Can I just feign ignorance at the time of pickup/tradein and hand over the green mini? Will it come to bite me back?
I went in today to trade-in my 3 iPhone 12 mini for 3 iPhone 13 mini that I had ordered for online pickup. One of them, the color didn't match. I told the rep that I must've selected the wrong color. He said that he could switch it on his system and still get the $630 credit.

Do they check the color? Yes. But hopefully the rep that you get can change the color selection in-store.
