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

can you do that and report back please?
Once they send the check, I doubt you would need the active service to cash it in, but have no idea while the line is cancelled. I know for most wireless service, they still give you credits and stuff if they owe you balance.
What in tarnation!?

I opened the new account on 2/17 with trade ins, but on 2/20, traded in again 2x24 to 1x24+ and 1x24U, today I tried to unlock the phones, they said I can't unlock both phones until 4/20 for a full 60 days and they counted starting on 2/20 in my case.

But they said it's their job to make sure phones and service work perfectly and smoothly before letting their customers walk out the door lol

0. Phone will be factory reset so take a backup of your files before starting! Install required android drivers (google it)
MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE IS UNLOCKED & LOGGED OUT OF SAMSUNG / GOOGLE ACCOUNT just in case.
1. Go to this link and download the latest "patcheD" version of ODIN
https://xdaforums.com/t/patched-o...1.3762572/ [xdaforums.com]
2. Go to link below (samfw.com >choose device but add 1 after the U (U becomes U1) > choose "XAA" as CSC > download the latest firmware available (about 10gb) or just click link below and download latest version
https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-S921U1/XAA
3. Extract above file using 7zip or similar tool
4. Run the patcheD Odin you downloaded in step 1 and it will show you the instructions on how to flash (you basically choose the downloaded files within patcheD Odin). Everything is explained within patcheD Odin (Tip: choose CSC instead of home CSC)
5. Let it process and reboot.
That's it. Enjoy!
