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.

All you have to do is go home ,pay off the phone amount in full, then the next day call them to credit back the trade in amount to same CC on file, and unlock phone. I have done this twice now…..on the same phone line. Lol

- Opted for a new line/number with Spectrum. Do I have to activate Spectrum mobile on the S23?
- The package I received has no info on how to do the mail-in trade-in. Does that show up on my account somewhere? Does activating the S23 on Spectrum mobile trigger that trade-in stuff?
I did the trade-in for 4 lines in the state of Washington on Wed., 5/24.
I first went to the local Spectrum store on Sat., 5/19. The store had only one S23, but I needed 4 S23's. The female Spectrum rep/specialist I dealt with, after talking to another more experienced rep/specialist, ordered and reserved 4 S23's for me. They said the shipment should arrive in two weeks. The shipment arrived in three days. I went to the store to do the trade-in after the female rep/specialist called and informed me of the arrival of my 4 reserved S23's.
So you can ask the store to order and reserve additional S23's for you. It takes three days for the shipment to come in in my case.
Also, the toll-free number for the store is actually Spectrum's national sales number. You need to get the specialist's personal cell number if you want to talk to anyone in the local store. The specialists are more than willing to give out their personal cell numbers because they work on commissions.
Also, according to the more experienced specialist in my local store, the store has not received any info regarding the early termination of the current trade-in promo. The deadline is still 6/30/23. I asked the question about the deadline when I asked the store to order new S23's for me.
Activate
make one call
factory reset (first steps may be optional, but leave you with a live Tracfone SIM)
remove SIM
Spectrum Store, $605 off S23. Pay in full if you want to be instantly upgrade eligible for a S23+ or S23 Ultra, some say wait a day or two to upgrade.

yeah, but keep in mind, I did both my trades in store... no mailing.
Then I called them directly to handle the refund of the trade in credit and to process the unlock on the phone.
