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

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?
just make a new order and cancel or refuse your other order.

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?
if you buy a used older phone on ebay usually they will still have money owed. so that is not a good strategy. ebay phone has to be unlocked. other carrier locked but paid in full is ok if you bought it from that carrier.

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.
Im holding a few xr's as well for better future trades, so do you think the new se will have better tiv?

i think it is worth a try, worst thing is the BB rep will check your trade, and if they really see a discrepancy, you can always say ohhh...i thought mine is black and you can say no deal.

I currently have an iPhone 12 Pro 256gb.

TIV is $700, which puts me at $99 + tax for an iPhone 13 256gb.

If I do this deal through Best Buy, can I pay the remaining balance up front & through Best Buy without having to deal with any T-Mobile aspect of it?

I spent 6months in 2021 having TMo correct my billing (through T-Force) after a botched upgrade, so I'd like to just get the TIV for my current device, apply it towards a new phone, and pay off the balance immediately at Best Buy.

Thanks in advance !

not holding my breath, but normally Apple/Carriers gives extra incentives during launches to get new devices into people's hands, however, the new SE is kind of like a one off product so you never know...

I have a feeling though, they will want to get rid of excess inventory before the 14 launches, so we should see another "Good" TIV before at least once more before 14 gets released.

I placed online order with black s21 trade in for $640. But in the store, order shows s21 ultra instead of s21. So they did not accept s21 for trade in. I cancelled the online order and asked them to place the order at the store. They faced the same issue and did not honor. No go for me.

Thanks! That's what I thought, but it was asking me to link my T-Mobile account when I selected "upgrade".
My current device was purchased through apple, so I wanted to confirm that this would all be done through Best Buy and without effecting my billing through T-Mobile.

Yes they have to link your order to your TMO account and phone number to upgrade. Nothing will be changed on your account.
