Has anyone done multiple trade-ins with only 1 line in the past?
Yes
But not one s25 for another. Do one s25 for an s25+ and so on
It did work last year for s24 and you make small profit each time in credit
Another option, now that you mention it, is to do what you suggested but not use the existing s25
I hadn't considered it but it's smart. I have pixel 9 already on a free Spectrum line for instance
I'll go in and trade g play for s25 and upgrade line using that. Won't touch my Pixel 9
Then can upgrade that line again using another g play and leave s25 intact
I see no problems with above and the online system allows it. Upgrade doesn't require you to literally trade in that very device. Just any device in their system accepted for trade in
Thanks for the idea lol
Another thing I thought of: after doing trade in, you'll have s25 showing on your line as your phone that's ready to "upgrade"
I intend to switch the esim back to my Pixel 9 online ASAP. Once that's done, it'll look like Pixel 9 is the line I'm looking to "upgrade" again if I go in for another round
It plays nicely with their online system and should raise fewer red flags with the actual associate. But I also wonder if it may be riskier because you're rapidly upgrading so many times using same line. I haven't done more than on upgrade in succession like that before (s24 to s24 plus)
I plan to keep my unlocked Pixel 9 as my phone on the free Spectrum line I've got for next 10 months if that's not clear
There's also the question of if they'll be unlocked after two months if you try this since they won't be active for full two months on a spectrum line. I don't have experience there
Some DPs point to just needing to activate on line, sock drawer for two months, then put esim back to the phone and message for device unlock as a working method

For the network unlock in 60 days, I intend to use the 1 free Spectrum line for at least 60 days * x if the above shortcut doesn't work, where x is the number of phones I buy.
In any case, if the rep still refuses, I'll just open separate lines and eat the plan and activation costs.

That's exactly what I did last year. Still worth
5%. I've done several prior deals. you can use a debit card for the credit refund after the trade in is completed for some free money.
I see they have a 20 dollar plan to besides the 30 unlimited, is that gonna be fine to use for the other three s25s that i get?
Lastly do i have to wait for these QVC moto to arrive so i can type in the IMEI from them, or does it not matter like other carriers and you can change it later anyways? Also does it matter whether i upgrade the free spectrum line i already have with one of the new devices or if i just switch out the devices later after i get the s25? thanks
80 dollars for 4 motos traded for 4 s25s for $90 a piece plus tax and two months of service? Talk about some easy flips

You can only do so many upgrade trade ins in store before they block you so you'll end up having to do online trade in eventually. When doing the online method, you'll want to wait until they approve and pay out the trade in credit before upgrading that line again. This can take a week or more of waiting for their warehouse to approve the trade. Someone on here was risky enough to upgrade again before the prior trade in credit hit their account but they still ended up getting the trade promo credit for the prior upgrades. so we basically have 4 weeks from launch to promo end date to keep recycling the upgrade promo.
Of course this is all assuming they continue to pay out the trade in promo lump sum instead of this 36 months bs.

No, not on same day!
Nope you just need to activate the phone then you can swap the SIM into another phone. After 60 days swap the SIM back into the phone you want to unlock and they should be able to unlock for you. You don't need 60 days of continuous service on the same device to unlock
Depends on the state you live in
