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!
Jon
Did you read the whole post? Maybe you should do that first
Trade-in devices will never come back. No matter where you do the tradein bestbuy, verizon, att, apple etc etc..

Had to pay full tax in Colma CA today. =(
But bonus was that the 128GB he tried to ring me up and activate was a demo, and then the only other phone in stock was 256GB, so he gave it to me for the same price.

If you're in CA I believe that's the case because of how tax is handled, but if you're in another state you might be OK ordering online for instore pickup from the sounds of it.
My first attempt was made entirely in store and I remember the rep quoted me the same amount (9.99+41.xx) I then went online to verify the price and got the same result.

So, this question isn't covered in Wiki or elsewhere.

Which credit card is best to pay the difference with? More specifically, which card if any, offers extended warranty protection for the phone when you only pay the difference after trade in?

Something similar happened to me, I ordered the mini 128GB online, just realized today that they handed me a 256GB.
Invoice says 128 and is correctly priced.

I've tried multiple times to sign up for a post-paid plan and the rep only offered me pre-paid plan citing credit run report check. Any tips on setting up a new post paid t mo account to take advantage of this deal?
Where did you try?
Do you have an unlocked device?
My suggestion would be to ask for a no credit check account with BYOD, since you're not financing anything it should be fine, the only difference is the number of approved lines.

Check the AT&T method in the wiki if you haven't activated the phone with a T-Mobile sim.

Otherwise contact them via the chat function in the app and tell them you're traveling to an international location.

Don't provide a SSN, ask for the no credit check option, I did mine at a costco kiosk.
Also try a variation of your name if you've had credit problems in the past.

Looks like the run the name through some sort of collections agency DB.

I had a derogatory mark mistakenly applied by TWC to my credit and then reversed by the bureaus, but sprint would always instantly deny my requests, even though I have great credit score and history. I later found out they do collections through the same agency.
