Buying a money order with the gift card essentially gets the cash off the gift card. Take the money order to your bank and deposit it. I had issues adding the gift card to my Paypal and Venmo which is why I went the money order route. My cash offer from GameStop was $140 less than the visa gift card. Most grocery stores and even Walmart offer money orders. Swipe the giftcard as debit and enter a pin number and you should be good to go.

I think the tax is on $500 so 100 + 7% or whatever your state tax is + 60 + 20 = 215 approx

Is prime included as a perk with only one phone on the $60 plan?
Yes. It comes with the $60.00 plan.

Hi Samdiv

I am not sure exactly what your question is. You said that you wanted to buy a iP11 from Metro to trade in at Best Buy.

(Transaction A) The Metro iP11 deal is as follows:

Option 1: Buy iP11 from Metro, pay for 1 month of Metro phone plan at point of sale, and don't pay for any further Metro phone service. In this scenario, you will NOT get a $50 gift card from Metro.

Option 2: Buy iP11 from Metro, pay for 1 month of Metro phone plan at point of sale, and pay for 2 additional months of $60-per-month Metro phone service. In this scenario, you will get a $50 gift card from Metro.

If you are buying the iP11 for trading-in at BB, then go with Option 1. There really is no reason to go with Option 2.

(Transaction B) The BestBuy deal is as follows: (see BestBuy post for more details)
Trade in iP 11 toward a iP 13 (T-Mobile version) at BestBuy. There is an instant $100 off here.

There is no BestBuy gift card in either deal. So, I am not sure what your question is. However, if you already have a BestBuy gift card from some other source and you want to monetize it, you could use your existing BestBuy gift card to pay for transaction (B) above.

Thank you for the detailed answer.

In Option 1 - can i still unlock the phone after some time?

If i trade in the iphone 11 at BestBuy i will get a gift card of BestBuy correct. I want to know if there is a way to convert it to cash or anyway to convert it to another gift card so that i can use it somewhere else.

a better option would be to trade it in for 285 visa prepaid card at gamestop [gamestop.com]

Thanks, Skap.

Samdiv, if you are planning to trade in your new iP11 at BB to get a BestBuy GC, you should look into the gamestop offer. I have not personally traded in anything at gamestop so I can't opine on it.

As for the unlocking, several people on this site stated that the Metro iP11 would unlock after 180 days ... even if you pay for only 1 month of Metro phone service.

I wouldn't count on getting any "sealed in the box" free phones from Metro.

There have been scattered reports here and there of people managing such a feat, but... by and large, the reps will open the boxes, insert the SIM cards, and activate the phones right in the store.

if you guys are going the gamestop prepaid visa route, be careful.
There have been reports of users trying to use the cards and it being emptied within minutes of leaving the store.

It is advised that for example, you put the gift card in your amazon cart and as soon as you get the Visa card, buy the amazon gift card in order for a customer not to be out of the Visa card money from gamestop.

Tell them with covid you do not want anyone touching your phone. Then it will remain sealed and you can resell.
It will still be locked to Metro right? So - minimal help with resale.

Interesting ... the link you provided offers $285 for an i11, while starting from the gamestop main page only offers $251.00. Are you now spying on me? ;--)

Why would you throw a perfectly good visa card which can be spent anywhere into amzn? Just trade for amzn GC if that's what you want. You'll probably get more than straight cash visa.
