Not looking to get into a 24 or 36mo contract. Just would like to buy the entire full price of the phone with a good deal just like how it was pre-Covid where you can go into Sam's club or any other similar shops and trade in a phone to grab a brand new iPhone for less than $500 after all said and done.

Bring back to good times!!!!!! Any deals on any carriers and any promotions (doesnt have to be trade in, could be coupon or gift card stacks) on a full price iPhone - post them here!!!

This is best way to get the unlocked phone from apple. Keep all the nonsense out such as trade in, port in, call VZ, pay in cash in store and the list goes on and on.

Just wondering if this promo has been confirmed at BestBuy/Target? Would love to buy Apple GC's and get 15$ gift cards per 100 GC.

Thank you so much for a quick reply! I need close to $1500 worth of Apple GC's. Does BestBuy /Taget impose a limit on how I can purchase?

Silly question but... is this like, for 16 pro ($1000 + tax) you buy $1000 worth of GCs from Target/BB, then take those gift cards to the apple store to buy the iPhone? and then you have the bonus Target/BB cards left over? Or do you somehow use the Apple gift cards AT target/BB to buy the iphone from there ?

You would:
  1. Buy ~$1000 Apple GCs at Target or BB
    You now have $1000 Apple GCs and $150 Target / BB GCs
  2. Use the $1000 Apple GCs online or in store to buy the iPhone of your choosing
    Apple limits you to 8 GCs per order online, don't know how it is in store.
    You'll still have the $150 of Target / BB GCs to spend on accessories, cables or multipacks of Gatorade.
    (Optional)
  3. ????
  4. Profit!
Thinking back to the days where you could buy GCs with Target / BB GCs...good times...

Awesome, thanks for the detailed explanation. I really want to avoid going into the Apple Store, so guess I might have $200 or so left to account for (planning for iPhone 16 pro)
