I'm Hanzelnuts, I was mentioned in the Wiki. You guys are lucky because Spectrum is excepting a lot of older phones as trade in for this promotion. A Note 4 is now worth $35 + $600. That's crazy.

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.

Can someone please suggest.. Can I trade my current Flip4 for S23 and then trade the S23 for S23 Ultra? Thinking to build an order in the same way. Don't know how much time it take to get S23 after I trade in Flip4. And then trading that S23 for Ultra. Please advise.

curious about doing this myself. rough math would be buying whatever phone (i bought the tracfone for 30 bucks) + 800 for s23 + 50 taxes - 600 = 280
s23 ultra 1200 + 70 taxes - 1000 trade in = 280

560 + whatever monthly phone charges and fees you pay. I suppose thats a good deal but not as good as the S23 on its own.

I wish I knew what the trade in prices were going to be for the s23 ultra for a fold or flip 5, then i could do the proper math.

One thing I am not clear about, how long do we need to keep the line active after we have received the trade in credit and unlocked the phone?

Also, for double trade ins, what do you do with the line after youve traded it in?
confused about that. Peace

But there is nothing on the trade-in deal that says you can't do this. So, why would they ban you?
Companies sometimes take adverse action when abusing certain deals. Chase was a big one before the 5/24 was known and i was banned churning. Not chancing it on phone mumbers my family has had for years. I did a bit of shenanigans in thus deal. I posted the info for others to do what they wish with it.

Cancel it after unlocking. I paid the month up front on the first trade in. Did a couple other trades on the sane line. Giving it a few days then will cancel. There is not any contract.

I only added one line to pur account. We have been with spectrum for 6ish months.

Cracked S8+ is still accepted on S23 online, just checked. Try another store or different time, remember you are dealing with people that can arbitrarily make up rules. If you argue with them, they will just dig in deeper. Smile, thank them, and try someone else.

Or just trade in online. If you want an S23+ or S23u, you can always trade in your S23 again for $1000 credit.

Just did the trade-in in store. Final Price was $222 with the $14 plan. Awesome deal

I'm probably going to order another TracFone phone and get another s23 for $250. And probably trade in this one for an s23 ultra for about $500. I only paid tax on the amount after trade in Awesome awesome deal

Fyi last year Samsung allowed you to trade in two phones to stack trade in credit. That's primarily why I'm doing this deal

Those who unlocked, could you please answer the below queries?

1. Do you need to open the device and activate or can it be done without opening the box?

2. Were you able to get it unlocked only after activating? Or just called the customer service and asked them to unlock directly?

3. Did you directly did the trade in in store and got the TIV applied to your purchase?

Thanks, did they refund you that month you paid after you cancelled?

The process is as I understand:
1. Buy phone
2. Call unlock
3. A few days later cancel line
4. Trade in for other phone or just keep

Is that correct?

I'm trading in a cracked screen S8+ with a slight battery bulge pushing the back plate up.

Send me thoughts and prayers dealing with the trade-in!

I'll update you all if success or failure occurs.
