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..

Yes, I'm reading it however, Ive been reading horror stories where people get rejected since BB got a memo regarding the walmart deal. NVM I found it :

Trade-in value of $630.
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. Cheapest plan is $65/month for people who aren't seniors, first responders, etc.
Remove the phone from the box and keep the accessories as they only want the phone.
They will be checking the screen condition and looking for cracks on the back.
They will power on the device to see the display condition (you can charge the phone ahead of time).
They will check the IMEI number and whether Find my iPhone was turned off under your Apple ID settings
No need to mention which provider and lock status.
Remember you need to go to Mobile section at Best Buy and not the Pick Up counter.
There are reports that your new T-Mobile phone from the Best Buy deal can be unlocked in less than a week (within 1 to 3 days); contact the T-Mobile support (T-Force) team on Twitter or Facebook and request unlock.
Sometimes the unlock process can take longer as iPhones are not bought from T-Mobile directly and are not in their database. They have to submit an email request internally to Apple to get the IMEI unlocked. Once unlock confirmed, check under "Settings > General > About". "Carrier Lock" entry should show "No SIM restrictions".
After the phone is unlocked, cancel the T-Mobile plan; ask them to pro-rate any current charges

I wasn't aware they closed the loophole
I did read one user state one of his unlocks took 67 hours.

if they closed the loophole, I would do it through tmobile unless you are willing to wait the 60 days with visible/verizon

I literally ordered 5 mins ago and I got $725 for my iPhone 12. Maybe I added it in the cart last night, and it carried my price?

When I went to the Best Buy link provided by this thread, I entered iPhone 12 64GB for the trade in information, and this is the screen I got (Attached). Maybe if you go through the checkout process it changes to $725?

Overthinking, just go there and be over with it. Why are you acting like getting ready to rob a bank? There were a few bogus reports, no need to panic. Good luck!

I think the post I responded to was a hypothetical: "what is the fix if I put in ATT Sim and the unlock doesn't work because of closed loophole?"

Like I said - a sudden closure of the loophole would be huge news and the only reference I saw was a report of a delayed unlock over the weekend.

I am not sure may be someone just saying something. I want to go through ATT but i do not want to get stuck well i can always take it back and say sim not working to BestBuy.

when do i get a my new number form T-Mobile? when i insert the sim? cause i do not want to. I want to unlock and cancel same day ?

I got my TM $20 Talk & Text SIM card delivered today but received no information on my account or phone number. T-Force rep says it's because my package "shipped so quickly" before things were activated. Rep says they'll check back tomorrow and if things still aren't set up, they'll overnight me another SIM card. Says anything he can do to move things along would create extra effort for me.

Was near Costco and stopped in to see about doing the BYOD shop card deal. When I asked about the $20 plan, TM rep says they don't do prepaid plans. Let them know it's a postpaid plan and am told that since they weren't trained on this plan and their manager never mentioned it, they can't do it. Didn't even try to look it up in the system.

So far, TM is batting a thousand with me.

Att won't be closing the unlock as far as I know. It's been going on for years and years. I think first time I did it was back in 2017 or so, unless things changed dramatically it will continue to work. Don't quote me on that, ha.

Why not get your new line(s) at Costco and then use the new TMo account to upgrade phones for self/others? I did not max the Costco offers but I did very well on their "buy one, get one" and bonuses for opening new lines. I was turning 55 which made certain TMo plans a no-brainer for me.

I was able to run two BestBuy trade-in "upgrades" with the line established in late September. Some SDers report a cap after four orders on the same phone number.
