AT&T & T-Mobile offer $1K value for iPhone 12 with their premium plans. Many are buying it for trading in with their carrier. Already got a 12 from Metro last deal, which was $50 more.
Keeping my current phones (13 and higher) as spares so I can trade these in instead for less.
Check out the unlock policy link I shared earlier.

-tried to do it multiple times online, all resulted in an "Oops something happened" error
-last night I finally decided to call Metro's porting department (800-518-7519), the guy said that there would be a $25 charge but he would try to walk me through the steps to do it myself. There were two options - using the Metro app or online. We started with the Metro app but I suspected this wasn't going to work because AFAIK you can only use the app to switch the device it's installed on (I didn't see a way to view or select other lines in the app). We didn't get very far because the call got disconnected (I have terrible reception and hadn't enabled wi-fi calling). I had to run an errand and by the time I got home the call center was closed
-this morning I called the porting department morning and was advised that there would be a $25 charge, I explained that I tried doing it online several times and wasn't able to. The agent said I could try calling *611 to do the switch myself. I called *611 and it said that for unlocked non-Metro phones I had to visit a Metro store.
-I decided to call the porting department again. I got a different agent and they said they could do the switch for me as a one-time courtesy and that next time I could do it myself online. They told me that the device switch never works online the first time (interesting!). Anyways, they got my device switched over without problem.
Next steps - I need to take a few minutes to process what to do next and in what order (port the number away, try to order another phone).
Thanks again for your help!
I switched the esim to 3 phones till now in 1 month. So try the app

Using my other account, if I use the same Visible number and click "Check this number", it says "Unfortunately, this number can't be transferred. Try another number or choose a new number to continue.". If I choose a random number, the check passes and it lets me add the phone to the cart. I'll wait a few more hours and see if my Visible number gets released.
*Update* It's been over 48 hrs and that Visible number is still not passing the "Check this number" check. I must've really pissed them off, LOL. Fortunately you can change your number easily with Visible.
I think member aabbccbbaa is using his address for his account and his wife's account.
You may remember that the iPhone 11 deal last year was right before they shutdown the Metro corporate stores. The rep that helped me was really cool, he did not give me a hard sell with accessories and insurance. He told me that each account was limited to 2 discounted (free) phones, but there was nothing stopping someone from creating multiple accounts using the same name. At the time I was just happy to be able to buy 2 phones and did not try to get more. Looking back I should've gotten more (either by creating another account using my own name or my wife's).
Anyways, today I tried to create another account using my name and same billing/shipping address but a new email, but was denied at the last step of checkout. I was also using cellular data instead of my home wi-fi in case they are tracking ip addresses. I just tried again using the same address except that I specified a unit number, and this time it went through! It looks like changing both the mailing address and email address did the trick. By the way, this time I got the iPhone 13 - we will use it as a travel phone as it's the last US iPhone that supports physical SIM. I'm hoping that I can get at least one more after this one is activated.
