Promotional Offer Details
https://www.spectrum.co
Offer Valid 02/01/2023 - 06/30/2023. Get $600 off when you trade-in and purchase a Samsung Galaxy S23 Series device, plus additional trade-in value based on the condition of your device. Restrictions apply. Spectrum Internet required. Auto-pay required. Visit spectrum.com/mobile/tradein for details.
Trade-in Criteria: As long as your trade-in is worth $1, the $600 promo will apply during the trade-in credit check.
1. Is the device free of major physical damage? No is okay. Don't push your luck here too much, don't try to trade-in 80% of a phone or something that been ran over twice by a car.
2. Does the device have a functional screen that is free of cracks and other damage? No is okay
3. Is the device free from liquid damage? Yes is mandatory
4. Does the device power on? Yes is mandatory
Trade-in IMEIs: When testing to see if your phone is accepted for trade-in, any random fingermashed IMEI can be used as long as it starts with a 3. If you want to double check, 356742465815274 is a random IMEI that works. (Not true, just had this method show my phone as rejected when it DID accept the real IMEI)
Trade-in phone: The list of accepted phones differ between carriers, so if you don't find your phone on the list, check the original or "other" carrier. Also, the link of accepted Samsung phones is huge (may be all A, S, and Note series), even some international only models are accepted.

I did this promotion 2 months ago. Traded in my Note 9 for $27 and Iphone 8 plus for $12. Note 9 was the oldest they will take back then and so was the iPhone 8. I had a Note 4 that didn't qualify. I had to buy the IPhone 8 for $90 to do the trade in.
I went in the store and paid in full for S23 Ultra and S23. Contrary to FatGuyPoolShark, I like many people, had to send in our trade-in to Assurant. You'll be lucky if the store accept your trade in. It has to be sent in.
Anyways, I have Spectrum internet. There was a promotion of buy one unlimited line for $29.99 and you'll get one line free. For those that didn't get this promotion in their email, ASK THE REP at the store if you can get that promo. Chances are, they'll say yes.
I was able to unlock my 2 phones within one week. I called and asked if they could unlock them and the agent unlocked them while I was on the phone with her. You might want to say you're traveling and needed them unlock.
Assurance emailed me and says my phones were accepted as trade-ins. But instead of $27 for my Note 9, they only going to pay me $15 reason being it was late. It wasn't late, as they received it within the 30 days required to mail in.
I have a credit of $1227 with Spectrum right now. I'm too busy to call and ask them to credit them back to my credit card. It shouldn't be a problem though.
Feel free to ask any questions if need to.

Got a cheap Tracfone A03 at Best Buy without a plan. As I understand it, its activation requires at least 1 month plan purchase.
Also, can someone get the CSC value on their S23 series? When you go to your phone settings->about phone->software information and look in the Service Provider Software Version section (value of XXX/YYY/ZZZ). This helps us determine if Spectrum is putting their own custom firmware on the S23.

This is what they accept so far.

S23 ($799) - 6a ($730) + tax on $799. Total $131.00 for s23
Not worth the full tax for me personally. I'll save it for future trade in for S2x ultra
Also is a swollen battery an issue?

Took my first 2xS23 I purchased and traded them in. One for an S23U with another $200 OOP. Total $378 and an old janky phone for a new S23U.
Second S23 traded in for S23+ as an experiment. Refunded $0.01.
I have 3 other lines on my account using Iphones. Used 3 old phones to buy S23 for $178 each. Didnt bother activating because my family would be upset not using Iphones. Traded in next day on S23 for $200.01 refund each.
Repeated again with the 3xS23. You can see where this is going.
Right now I have stopped. I have two locations and both recognize me. Since I use these phone numbers I cant risk losing them. Money is refunding to my card and not account credit. In larger cities and some free time?
This will only work in states with instant trade in and no tax on the full amount. Must pay in full. Must swap S23 for S23. No extra money for S23+ to S23 because every other transaction is only $0.01.
Good luck all.

Also is a swollen battery an issue?
Swollen battery or any other uncertain issues, trade-in instore. If they accept it, deal's done.
Yes they care, the $600 bonus in only on new lines per the T&Cs. Add a new line and then port out just before your next bill, at least you followed the stated rules.
Yes the point is it works but the terms say NEW LINE:
Promotion requires customers to trade in qualifying device, add a new line, purchase and activate a new phone. If new phone paid in full, credit applied to purchase. If new phone financed, credit applied to bill in pro-rated increments for the duration of the Device Payment Plan. If the final trade-in value exceeds the cost of the new device, the difference will be refunded to your Spectrum Mobile Account. Trade-in device must have a value greater than $1. Visit spectrummobile.com/tradein [spectrum.net] for details. Restrictions apply. Subject to change.
