From the prior deal last month when the device was $599, here was what was shared. I did a quick check and confirmed the Galaxy S20 trade in value was still $410. I imagine there may be some discrepancies since the iPhone 8 was $230 for me instead of $245.

After clicking the link, click the $499.99 (Activate Today) button
Click Add to Cart
Select Upgrade if you're an existing customer

You'll be greeted with the following question "Would you like to trade in a phone?"

Select "Yes, I would like to trade in a phone to Best Buy."

Fill in the 5 required areas (Brand, Model, Capacity, Color, Carrier)

Click "Get My Value"

For example. Apple, iPhone 8, 64 GB, Silver, T-Mobile. You'll see a trade in value of $230 that will be deducted from the price of purchase.

T-Mobile one time payment savings for new and existing customers.

S21 - $499.99 ($300 savings)
S21+ - $649.99 ($350 savings)
S21 Ultra - $849.99 ($350 savings)

This stacks with the extra trade in bump of $150-$200 from Best Buy. This discount comes right off the price of the phone vs. bill credits. Trade-in discount is visible after you click add to cart.

Shows $899 to me.
Make sure you don't change colors/options. It looks like the Galaxy S21 T Mobile variant for Best Buy only exists with the Phantom Gray color option

Your trade-in value: $190.00
Galaxy S8 64GB Midnight Black

If I didn't just get iphone 13 max pro, i would have settled for this

Definitely hold over and have value for next trade in (S8 value next year would never be $190)

cause that Pixel 6 Pro was not worth keeping. I sent that shit back after reading all the nightmare reviews ( Slow Charge / 3 main upgrades only / finicky fingerprint<even after fix>/rando signal loss [androidcentral.com] ) and just settled for apple - Tmo gave me $400 for Note 10 - BestBuy only offers $370 for it

no regerts so far

Yes - just pick Verizon. They don't really care.

Note 10+ still $400 TIV.

S21 for $100, Pixel 6 for $150, or are there better options?

Quote from aznmnky92 :
It doesn't stack with the trade in promotion, otherwise yes. Trade in value for iPhone 8 at 64 GB would only be $80 for unlocked S21 vs $230 for T-Mobile S21
The trade in bonus for this (Note 9) is an extra $200 (290 vs 90 for the other thread). If you cancel this right away, will you still be billed for the first month of service? That's another 65+tax/fees.
