It states: " How do I get my trade-in payment?
After your device is processed, you'll receive a credit for the assessed value. If you've paid for your new device in full, the trade-in credit will be refunded to your credit card within two billing cycles. Otherwise, a monthly credit will be applied to your Device Payment Plan in equal parts over the duration of the plan, starting within two billing cycles.
Additional details will be provided in your trade-in email from Assurant."
If your device is paid in full it is supposed to go back to your credit card. I have done 4 of these and on all 4 they credited my Spectrum account, however each time a very short phone call with CS resulted in the credit going to my CC.
If you need a $40 trade-in phone for this deal:

If above phone not available, here is a $50 phone for trade-in deal:

WARNING
Make sure to turn it on and see if your phone can activate. Walmart is not properly scanning these phones and trade ins are getting denied because of anti-theft. Buy these phones in store if you can! try to activate online and if error take the whole phone box package to store and have them rescan and reissue back to you or get replacement. check to make sure IMEI of "new" device can be activated online before you leave store
if above can't fix your problem then do the following:
1. Reach out to straight talk CS and ask them to escalate with issuing ticket
2. They will tell you to do the following: Email [email protected] with name, contact number, ticket number (this is created by chat agent) and attach receipt proof and picture of IMEI (I took a picture of the card that has the IMEI and sim card number on it).
3. You should get email about 24-48 hours later that it can now be activated
4. If they ask you to activate with phone plan then buy this $15 plan and give them the PIN and other relevant information they ask for

Takes roughly 15 minutes to come in after purchase to hit email.
5. If they didn't ask to activate on tracfone then visit https://www.straighttal
6. Insert sim if not already in, turn off phone and turn back on. Make a test call. If call won't go through wait 5 minutes. You'll probably get some texts from Tracfone and calling should work. They suggest to turn off and on again if not, but I didn't need to.
$25 at Amazon: (slow shipping)

Store trade-in is YMMV
- Most stores will uphold the promotion - if not, go to a different store
- Device usually needs to be in stock - some stores will ship if not in stock
- Stock is usually low and sells out fast - may need to try more than once
- Higher storage options are usually not available in stores - only online
- Tax is dependent on state - some charge MSRP, some charge discounted price
- Doing too many trade in in short amount of time might get your account flagged - only online is available then

Received the email and the portal updated as complete yesterday morning. However, the credit has not appeared in my account yet so far. Thank you!
Double discount
As a retailer, you may offer a "double discount" to customers for certain manufacturer coupons. For example, your customer presents a manufacturer's coupon offering $1 off the purchase of a specific product. In turn, you also allow an additional $1 off the selling price. In this case, the value of the manufacturer's coupon is included in your total taxable sales. The additional $1 discount you provide to your customer is not subject to tax.

So even if Spectrum were to try and claim that the amount that Assurant is paying should be taxed, it seems that the extra $700 that Spectrum is offering should not be taxed. I could be wrong, but not sure what other category this would fall into.

Still have two in process. One's allegedly stuck in Coppell TX, the other was delivered to Assurant on 02/05/2024; estimated assessment by 02/09/2024. Hoping the one in Coppell just didn't get scanned by USPS and is already in Assurant's hands.
--edit--
Just got two emails from Assurant approving the two trade-ins. So if your trade-in is stuck in Coppell, give it a few days and see if Assurant approves it.
Now just waiting for Spectrum to ship my last S24+ order.
