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!

Spent over an hour going through this forum especially recent posts, and it looks like for the past few days, no one in California has been able to get the iphone 13 pro with paying sales tax on the different, it looks like we are being charged on the full amount.

We have both an Iphone11 Pro and Iphone 12 Pro that could be traded in, ideally wanted to trade the 12pro, but paying $80+ in sales tax (as opposed to $15), makes this lesser of a deal. The upgrade is more of a want than a need, mostly for the better camera

I saw an older post in this thread about using Paypal or Chase Reserve to get cb. So it will be an online purchase while paying full sales tax, but to offset it a little bit by the cb. No mention of it anymore recently. Anyone in California at least used that method?

I also saw rumors about this ending Dec 5 or 6, so wanted to make a final decision if it is still a go or pass.

No, it goes like this. On the first visit they will check if your T-mobile account qualifies for the upgrade promo, not just your sim. You have to go in with an existing T-Mobile postpaid account and have full access to this account as a "primary".
Then they check whether they can order the oos 13 you wanted on their computer terminal, and if it's possible for them to order... they'll ask if you want to proceed with the upgrade.
If you proceed, this is where they check the trade-in value, check the physical condition of your phone and put in your phone's info into their computer. They'll offer you Apple Care and phone accessories.You'll pay the balance now, NOT on the second visit.
And you leave the store with the receipt/paperwork AND your trade-in phone. So just put your 12mini back in the box for safekeeping until your 13upgrade comes in.
My BB associate said he could not do this.

12 pro trade in to pay only $99 to get 13 pro was an easy decision. They gave me full $900 off 13 pro but my wife's phone was pristine condition.

By the way the trade in from Best Buy was $700 and the deal is that TMobile is doing an extra $200 on top of this which is what makes it $900.. this is why I think everyone who can, should, as these phones will not have this much trade in value once this deal is over

11 pro is still decent trade in to get you off 4g only phone.. you must know come 2022 the trade in value in that thing will not be as good as this

I would go for it just for those reasons, bite the bullet and if anything you will now have 2 5g phones with great trade in values for next time with no bill credits Bs on your account

I paid 66 bucks in tax for a 13 pro max upgrade in Ventura County. Worth it imo

Is this at the store only? Online still shows 575
Dont know what you did differently, but i chose trade in phone with these options chosen: Samsung -> S21 -> 128GB -> Black -> T-Mobile and get the $775 result. doesnt matter if i pick iphone or samsung to purchase. Definitely not unique to me because i tried using different browsers and still came up with the same result.

How come only $66? Isn't the max trade-in value $975 with the 12 Pro Max?

I'm seeing the 13 Pro Max Graphite available in some stores nearby. Wondering why only this one is available. Is it not a popular color? I ordered today and picking up on Sunday.

I'm using a friends account who just signed up to T-Mobile and activated a SIM card last night around 8. I get the error of We're sorry, there was an issue processing your request. Please try again later. Does it take awhile for it to show up I'm the Best Buy system? Will it be same in store? Anyone else sign up right away and buy same day? Also he has a essentials plan which I hope works.

I placed a trade in online on 10/23 and today I just received an email saying my order will be canceled. They don't have any iPhone 13 available so they have to cancel my order. Did anyone get their order canceled? What should I do now?

I moved my line to a new TMobile account and then went through the BB flow about 30 mins later. I saw the same error once but upon trying again I was able to place the order.
