Deal Details
The Walmart $300 gift card deal doesn't work for Verizon trade in. So I found Best Buy with a better and clearer deal for me to upgrade my phone on the existing Verizon unlimited plus plan.

But I eventually went with Verizon.com own upgrade to do a trade in because the android phone listed in the Best Buy advertisement is not listed at all in the trade in step after Verizon login verification thru Best Buy. But it's a better deal from Best Buy if you can see the actual selection on Best Buy order trade in selection page.

——————————————————

iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max as low as $0/mo.*" See Disclosures"
with qualified activation and trade-in when you switch from T-Mobile.

Offer details: Trade in your phone, any model any condition, and save up to $1,000. Also, everyone saves 5% instantly on the phone and gets a $30 Best Buy e-Gift Card. Switch from T-Mobile and get a $200 Verizon e-gift card.

My tmobile plan is currently $30/mo unlimited everything, but service is less than stellar in and around Denver. Hmmm.

It's the same deal that Verizon has been pushing on existing customers for many months now - the $830 trade in credits applied over 36 months. Now they are using bestbuy to sneakily sell it. I thought $830 would be applied towards the purchase price at bestbuy. But sadly not. 👎

I can say you are dead wrong on this. Verizon initially had this same deal without 5% discount and $30 gift card from September to October 11, 2023. Then Verizon changed it to give $700 credit for the unlimited plus. Then Verizon changed it again today on November 22, 2023 today to give $830 credit to selected trade in phone for unlimited plus plan. I have been following Verizon and Best Buy trade in deal for 2.5 months because I wanted to trade in some of my android phones.

This Best Buy deal is just a bit better than Verizon with the 5% discount and $30 gift card.

Why the unlimited ultimate plan is $90/month on Bestbuy? On Verizon site it is only $55/month

Verizon shows the monthly cost after several possible discounts. It's tricky

Read the fine print, you dont need to have the Ultimate unlimited account to get the phone, I have some IP 11s Im looking to upgrade and the ad is sayng "free" if you have the unlimited , Essentials is $30 a mth, Ultimate is $55 so Im looking to keep the essentials, save the $20 a month and use that for the 36 mth payments (plus some change)
Im heading to BB to see if I can pick this up for $27/36mths and stay on the essentials

This deal works out better for me as Verizon is forcing you into the Ulitimate plan to upgrade, the IP11 I have is worth $129 at VZ, where the BB one is $200 and I can still keep the essentials plan Im on so the $25 difference in plan is basically a wash for the 36mths for the

If I use unlimited plus for the first month and then change to unlimited welcome from the next month, will the $200 gift card benefit be cancelled?

Question for the verizon experts. I have an uncle on an older plan, 5g play more I think. With a $10 loyalty discount he is paying around $75 after tax for 1 line.

He told me to find him a deal for a 15 pro max and this one seems good. He has always had verizon since it's the most reliable for him so he doesn't mind paying the expensive pricing.

So Best Buy has the $830 over 36 months credit with unlimited plus which is around $80 with auto pay, no tax and fees included. He doesn't need the Disney or whatever plus add ons they have.

I'm seeing others mention older rate plans qualifying but I believe he needs the unlimited plus to qualify for the $830, right?
He would be trading an iPhone 11 which qualifies for the $830

I bought 4 lines directly from VZ, with iPhone 14 PRO 128GB for free (monthly credits for 36 months) NO trade in + Welcome unlimited plan

Plan cost with Auto pay = $120/month + $22 (tax and surcharge) = $142 for 4 lines per month
Paid tax on 4 devices = around $280
Got $400 ($100 per new line) cashback using cashback site.

Moved from Cricket, where I was paying $100 for 4 lines. The cashback and free phone made it a better deal for me, making $448 for iPhone 14 pro ( 378 (10.5*36) + 70 tax) without trade in.

NOTE : $200 porting credit is not applicable for WELCOME plan, if you port with Unlimited PLUS and then later switch to WELCOME within 12 months of service, the $200 will be charged back. So you need to stay with PLUS plan for at least 12 months.. PLUS plan is $18+ (including tax) costlier per line than WELCOME.

Yes. The current promotion of trade in all come from Verizon directly. Verizon controls what phone can be traded in under what unlimited plan for what trade-in value.

Your relative will be given a choice to upgrade to Verizon unlimited plus plan during or after entering trade-in phone IMEI in order to get that promotional trade in credit. You can either do this transaction in bestbuy or Verizon. Bestbuy currently has addition 5% off the new phone and $30 gift card. That is $90 for an iPhone 15 max pro. But I would bring the trade in phone to the Verizon corporate store to finish the trade in process rather than mailing it.

iPhone 6 Is included for trade in on Verizon. On Best Buy when it shows list of trade in possibilities, iPhone 6 doesn't show up.
