Deal Details
The $100 off T-Mobile and Sprint iPhone 13 and 13 Mini back again at Best Buy.

Some of the Trade in Values are much less this time (XR down to $250 and iP11 down to $350). . .some are higher like $640 for Galaxy S21 trade in. Perfect if you got the XR cheap 2 months ago, traded in for clearance S21, which can be traded in + $60 for an iP13. Can't trade the S21 on the base iP13 mini as TIV exceeds phone purchase price, but you could do it on the 256GB version.

The $640 Trade in Value on the S21 is as big a deal as the $100 off the iPhone.
And the $640 TIV seems good towards most TMO phones over $640, i.e. S22 line, Pixel 6

EDIT: $640 TIV is only for $128GB of S21. 256GB version fetches only $420. QA Note: The $640 is only for the Black S21 color. The other colors are $420

If you plan to get TMobile iphone 13 pro/max or whatever iphone over $800, buy TMobile flip 3 $699 with trade in s21(-$649), then get Tmobile iphone with trade in flip 3(-$800).

Does Best Buy ever adjust purchase price with trade-ins? I'm still within the return policy for my iPhone, but I've already surrendered the S21. Thanks.
Normally they do not. And if you're thinking of asking for $640 forget about it. However the last couple of weeks before the S21 TIV showed $350 online when in fact it was supposed to be $550. I asked several blue shirts and all said $550. If you only got $350 you can try and find a sympathetic manager and plead your case. . .

Anyone know if you can trade in other carriers? Like if I buy a used S21 on eBay that's locked to US Cellular or something? What about demo units or bad ESN?

man, $250 for an XR is hella low, $335 for 12mini you gotta be joking...
I am glad the $100 discount is back but those trade-in values are atrocious!
I'll wait I think they have something lined up for the SE2022 and ipad event.

When checking out online, BB asks me to select a Tmobile plan. I chose the cheapest plan: Essential Unlimited 55+ for $45/month. But I don't intend to use Tmobile (just need the phone). The price (as shown in the screenshot) doesn't include $45 as I suppose it is post-paid. So can I cancel the plan right after I pick up the phone in the store?

Can I request to unlock the iPhone by calling Tmobile customer serivice as I already pay full price?

Not sure these complains about the trade in value drop. You should trade in XR around $400 to get $500 s21 or $800 s21u when you can. We should keep upgrading with good deal every year or two.

I have a black s21 and really want to jump, but I already placed S22 order with this s21 traded in. The S22 order hasn't shipped yet. Anyone know if I can change my trade in for Samsung unshipped order?

lol that's not what I meant, the TW XR Refurbs that we got for $121+tax end of last year, could have been traded in for $390 at BB during the last time this 100off was offered.
So $250 is more than what I paid for the phone but if you compare it to what was offered before it's ridiculously low now.

It started at 390, then dropped to 360, now it's $250, so it's hella low compared to the historic high.

I bought multiple phones at $121 but didn't trade them all at the time, I don't need that many 13s and I'm not reselling them.

I'm holding my extra XRs for other trade-in deals.

S21 deal was pretty decent however I already have a Pixel 6 Pro as my daily driver, and androids don't hold their value as well as iPhones. So if I'm going to buy a phone to play around with and hold, I rather get an iPhone since it won't lose as much value in the long term.

But either way, it's good that the 100 off promo is back at BB, but for me I'll wait for better trade-in values before I get anything lol.
