Visit spectrum.com/mobile/trade-in for details.
i dunno why people say its the same deal.
sounds like they will give you a credit for the amount over your trade in value in 2-3 weeks and promo credit which is the 700 over 36 months.
the last part about canceling the line i worry about what spectrum will decide that actually means.
I'm comparing the two fine prints right now and I think in reality it may be very similar if not same deal as long as you're trading in for the exact same or lesser amount of trade in value and not trying to get credited for something over the cost of device and financing it
My plan remains the same. Take my old phones that show up in trade in calculator the day s25 is released, have them "upgrade" my existing free Spectrum line that is upgrade eligible, and walk out having paid cost of taxes and activation for phone
Same as last year. You'll see trade in cost applied. No credits, no fuss, no nothing
"If you don't believe it, don't do it."
Exactly. There's always some risk to these deals not going as planned
Compared to the crazy Costco Tmobile deals, this is a walk in the park
Reminds me of Best Buy Pixel 9 palooza. Or, well, this deal last year
Cancellation of mobile line before device is paid off will result in forfeiture of remaining promotional credits.
It's on the linked page in the details.
AKA, only do this deal if you are ready for 36 months of Spectrum Mobile.
I'd like to trade in my S20fe 5g, but the fingerprint sensor is broken and they wanted $180 to fix it. I now fear they will not give me the promised trade in value and I will lose my phone. Is that common?
Yes, they accept locked phones
Is Spectrum similar to most family accounts with a limit of five?
Thanks!
I've had 4 lines on same account without any issue.
There appears to be a subtle distinction between trade in credit and promotional credit.
My interpretation of the TOS is that the trade in value is applied but the promotional credit are the monthly credits that you get.
For instance you could be getting $200 trade in credit and $700 promotional credit.
The $200 gets applied to your credit card and the $700 is going to be monthly credits that you forfeit when you cancel.

Eligibility
To qualify for our trade-in program, your device must:
Be paid in full.
Be in working condition and turns on. You may still receive an offer if you have a cracked screen or other minor damage.
Have no liquid damage. If the liquid contact sensor is activated, the device shows signs of oxidation, or liquid or moisture are visible through the screen, it won't be accepted.
Have the Find My app disabled.
Be restored to factory settings.
"Exceeds cost of new device" specifically makes it pretty clear they will do the crediting still, but within 2 to 3 cycles. That's same as before
The last line is actually pretty clear too. Any REMAINING promo credits that hang in the balance will not be paid out if you cancel
But the way most will be doing it, with full payment up front via trade in with nothing EXCEEDING original cost of device, should mean there's nothing remaining to credit back. It becomes fully paid off the moment trade in processes (again, as long as you don't finance. But even if you do, you can pay it off immediately fully to have it "paid off" - - whether that means you'll get full credit for trade in paid out is unlikely...). Even if it does exceed cost of device and you'll get a credit, nothing in new fine print precludes getting credited same as before. They won't be "remaining" promo credits. You'll have had them credited already. Usually it's within days
Again, it's a bit YMMV. People will report back here, don't you worry
But I'm not concerned if I understand their system correctly and am comparing the two fine prints

...Credit means the Offer or Adjusted Offer amount for the Device value to be paid to Spectrum Mobile on Your behalf once We accept Your Device under the Trade-In Program. The Credit shall include any promotional benefit paid by Spectrum Mobile. Should You finance Your new device, Spectrum Mobile will apply Your Credit evenly over Your remaining payment plan installments. Should You pay for Your new device in full, Spectrum Mobile will apply Your Credit to Your account within the next two billing cycles...
It clearly defined credit as trade-in value plus the promotional benefits, and that credit will be applied to account within 2 billing cycles if the device is fully paid off.

Usually it applies a lot sooner than two billing cycles. That's normal
Other than that, definition of credit comports with what I expected and wrote about
Yes, if you finance it, it will be spread evenly across installments. We know that already
People speculating all day. Go do a trade in deal and provide a counterpoint if you want
Yeah I want the deduction of trade-in from what I owe, hoping that it will subtract from the price before tax. Sucks paying FULL tax on the phone when every other carrier subtracts the trade-in value THEN adds tax. A good $70 difference for me.

It's entirely dependent on the state you live in that governs how the tax is applied. In CA, you get taxed on the full price of the new phone. In NY I believe you only get taxed on the difference. Spectrum simply follows what the state dictates.

It's all speculation until someone actually gets the trade in promo applied to their account and see how it goes. I suspect if they spread out the $700 promo credit by mail, they will do the same thing in store. Better to wait and see.
