Cricket allowed me to downgrade from $60 to $30 plan 3 months before. I am not sure whether downgrade is allowed now.

I didn't see the +249 discount until after I made all the appropriate selections and I was ready to check out. But you should see the phone price as $249, with a mfg credit of +$249.

According to other cricket deal threads, cricket stop allowing downgrades or account merges around 11/20 or so. So read posts after that date for more relevant info.

I have done four phones on deals like this previously but under the prior terms where you could downgrade right away and merge with existing accounts.

So you can't merge with an existing account even after 3 months?

So I guess after tax, it's around $200... For phone, 3 months, etc. If there's a $60(?) credit remaining for the 3rd month, maybe you can join a cricket group for $25/mo to get more time out of it... The terms seem to say the first two months must be on the $60 unlimited plan, so this seems like the way to go - if you want the phone to be unlocked.

I guess though if someone wanted to save money, they could have bought one of those total wireless iphone SEs for cheap the other day, and used RSIM to "unlock"... But it's kind of janky, and I think one or two of my RSIMs were defective, and that's why I had issues doing it initially
For the SE, the first 3 months are at $60 each, but for the XR , Account will remain subscribed to $60/mo. plan for two months

" *When you bring your number & activate a new line on a $60/mo plan. First three months svc. charge & tax due at sale. Account will remain subscribed to $60/mo. plan for two months. Excludes AT&T ports. Usage, speed & restr's apply. Original Price $399.99. Intermittent price reductions taken"

Since Cricket changed their promotion term to 3 months of service payment up front + not downgradeable to cheaper plan for those 3 months, I don't think their deals are worth it. If you need to get the phone unlocked, you will need to pay another $65 (3 additional months of $30 minus $25 credit from referral). So, that will bring the total up to $245.

tbh, depending on what you are planning to do with the phone, the Tracfone deal on iPhone SE may be a better deal for you. ~$147 for the phone + 1 mo of service and no port in requirement. Only bad thing is that the Phone is locked to Tracfone for 12 months.
Tracfone locked for 12 months or 6 months? Was told by Target rep it's 6 months.

Sams club memberships are practically free these days tbh.
