Why not just buy this and trade in to Best Buy for the 13 mini? Upgrading from 12 to 13 costs about $80 (assuming you're not in CA where the tax is much higher) so you're looking at paying under $400 for a new iPhone 13. You could even upgrade to a higher end 13 for a few more $. The BBY deal is probably one of the best ones this year if you have an iPhone 12:

Edit: best buy doesn't care if the phone is locked.

I have Total Wireless, and plan to keep the device for 12 months anyway. Note that the referral program is generous, and you can essentially go the first 5 months for a total cost of $50 for the service using the referral codes ($25 each of the first 2 months, and the next 3 come free with the code ... this if you don't use much data, or 4 months if using more data) (you can add as you need) ... and it's Verizon towers ...

If I have this iPhone 12 mini, can I walk to Best Buy and get a new T-Mobile plan/account with the trade in credit? And what is the cheapest plan I can get and still be eligible for the trade in credit? Thanks!

There is new rsim. You pop in! Unlock! And take it out and phone works like it's factory unlocked! That's the next level of rsim from the one 3 years ago. If you search for rsim it should be a plain white Sim card.
Search on eBay?

How much extra did you pay?
Did you put straight talk service first?

Here is the link for right up to date rsim. Buy 2 just incase you lose 1st one. Those are reusable rsims. You can unlock as many iPhone you like.

Any reason to not trade into TMobile directly instead of Best Buy if I plan on using TMobile service? TMobile is offering $800 towards an iPhone 13 instead of $630 from Best Buy

just did this 6:30 CST, bought last 12 mini at Wally and traded to BB for 13 mini. The wiki on straight talk thread is more detailed and the card with the 12 is branded ST and Total Wireless. Wish both can be merged? Although I didn't set up 12 mini, just pressed i at lower right screen to show imei. Thanks to all for the good info from both threads!!!

If you are going that route, buy the phone on your current network T-Mobile will help you pay it off up to $1000 or you can go through the Costco route(just look up Costco T-Mobile on here) that way you will come out ahead
