You're not.

I don't see any other option that would give me $830 for my trade in, for a phone that is worth $50. Unless you think there's a better deal out there.

Does anyone know if I can sell the phone after unlocking it but keep the line and the bill credit?

Here is my math. Not factoring in taxes:

With Verizon deal:
Iphone 15 pro: 1099
Iphone 13 trade in: -1000
Monthly plan difference vs if I were to just get visible: 50x36 months (75 on verizon vs 25 visible)

Total cost for iphone 15 pro= $1900

What am i missing?

You are missing that Verizon and Visible are not the same, and will not provide the same level of service. Visible is the LOWEST priority on Verizon towers. Good luck with getting service while at busy places like at airports or sports arenas, or even in just urban areas.

There's a reason why it's cheaper service.

I've had visible for 2 years now and never had an issue. I also have Mint and Verizon (from work).

Regardless, you are paying extra $50 a month for something you will most likely never ever notice (I can assure you I haven't in 2 years!).

Even if you get 2 different services and use dual sim (Visible and Mint let's say), you are still paying much much less.

To each his own I guess.

I've personally had Mint, could not get any service at busy airports. Had to abandon it after a month.

With this math, if you have 3 lines, Verizon's cost per line is $50, and then with the $1000 bill credits over 36 months, the cost per line is $22. Which is less than Visible's $25. People have been purchasing cracked screen iPhone 4's on eBay for $40 and trading them in for $1000 in bill credits. This math works out better than the Visible deal.

I created a Google Sheet [google.com]. I use comparable plans: Unlimited Plus, Visible+, and US Mobile. They are comparable because they are all on Verizon's priority network. Visible and Unlimited Welcome are not.

I pay $40/mo for my verizon line. I *literally* can't save "$50/mo" with anyone else. So yes, your math is 100% incorrect.

Can I use Verizon Up per line offers along with this promo? Also, is it iPhone specific or could I add a new line on welcome with a free S22?

tmobile pays your phone termination up to $800 in mastercard gift card but I'm betting you're going to pay a hefty amount for signing up and being locked into a new tmobile plan but that's something to think about, thanks.
Is this offer active now or do you have link to see offer details ?

Is the $250 GC deal dead? The Costco website doesn't reference Verizon at all anymore?
