$177.99

Why post this? Well, many of you are still looking to acquire trade-ins for your recent Samsung S22 Ultra / S8 S8+ S8 Ultra tablet purchases. Here's the cheapest (currently) phone that gets you $500 value as a trade in for the tablets.

Rarely post deals but after following and utilizing so many of the threads on S21, S22, S8 Tablets iPhone 13 etc trade ins and deals I thought this would be useful for some folks.

Apple iPhone 8+ (8 Plus) 64GB Refurb 179.99
Plan Required $25
Code: USI15 or i think one of the popular (TEN out of TEN) cashback apps has another code, but it's the same amount off.

Also, it's 20 bucks cheaper net than fair condition on Swappa.

Enjoy. I needed 2. Grabbed them.

So this is a consolation deal? BTW, XR is back in stock, but @ $199.

You're right. And that would be fantastic but they're no longer available.

Since the 8+ has the same trade-in value ($500) for those doing S8 Tablet trade-ins, it's currently the better deal for folks in that boat looking for phones on ebay, swappa, offerup, etc.

In my history of purchases of refurbs from TW (15+, mostly XRs, some SE 2), exactly ZERO have had damage to the front or rear glass. That's what you want in a trade-in.

So, yes, you said a thing. However the thing doesn't apply.

Price is too high for this phone, and they are notorious for using sub-par parts to refurb. Good luck to you.

You keep missing the point. If it's for a trade in, it shouldn't matter.

"Why post this? Well, many of you are still looking to acquire trade-ins for your recent Samsung S22 Ultra / S8 S8+ S8 Ultra tablet purchases. Here's the phone that gets you $500 value as a trade in for the tablets."

Cheaper than the XR on TW, Cheaper than Swappa. Same $500

Point understood. You still risk getting a crap phone and the price is too high. I get it, you think this deal is great... I don't. That's the wonderful thing about forums and the internet.

None of the refurbs I've received from TW have been crap. And getting a $500 trade in credit for this is objectively good. ✌🏽

shake head

Hopefully the people in search of these phones for trade-in on the Samsung pre-order deals can still find their way here even with the TDs from those missing the point

what's the return policy? If I change my mind or if I don't like the condition of the phone?

Use paypal on checkout to make returns easier. I believe they may hit you for the bundled plan cost. Check the older XR threads for more info. Sorry, can't recall off the top of my head

Do we just buy the phone and can ignore the plan?
