Has anyone tried UPS QR code option for shipping trade-in? I'm not getting any update on the status page, it is still showing "Awaiting Shipment".

Just got 2 s25s. It was about 90+ tax out the door plus $20 activation fee for each line. Did anyone else have to pay this fee?

I don't remember this activation fee from last year.

Here's the approximate total math:
$90 s25 after trade in
$6 tax
$20 activation fee
$116 total for each phone + $30 for 2 months service + $30 Walmart Moto g trade in = $176 for each phone. Probably not a good a deal as a few years ago but for a new s25 still nice

they also gave me a promo for 2 unlimited lines for the price of one so $30 per month. nice deal

my store sold 25 s25s the first day of the deal lol

The rep at Carlsbad Spectrum store waived the $20 activation fee without me even asking. But, then again, he signed me up for the free 1 year line without asking me either.

I see, my rep said something about he couldn't waive the activation fee because I had the free line or something. I didn't push the issue.

How many lines do you have total? the store trade in limit may be a function of how many lines you have. If you had 5 lines with them I can't imagine they would still cap you at only 3 upgrades, leaving you with 2 line ineligible for upgrade.

Ok. New data point for all here. Today's run was successful. Grabbed both s25 ultras (base storage) they just got today and traded in 2 of my 3 s25 regular models I got on Friday, paying roughly a little over $200 each.

Again like last time, the reps only get credit when they open a line so I opened one line and upgraded an existing line.

That makes it a total of 5 trades in less than 1 week so far this Samsung upgrade cycle and now I have 2 ultras, and 1 s25.

With that option I think you're at the mercy of the UPS store rep packing it and mailing it out on their own schedule. This could add more delays in your trade in credit refund.

Good to see. If I'm tracking, you now have 4 active lines with 5 total trade ins. I think today's transaction is technically only one upgrade on an existing line. The new line may have increased your upgrade quota. I am curious to see about your next trade in on an existing line.

I just brought my trade in phone today to the UPS store using the QR code. They have a certain box they pack it in that holds the phone with plastic wrapping. I watched her pack it and she printed out the receipt with tracking information for me.

Based on last years trade in, the spectrum trade in website doesn't update until they have the result. Just track it thru ups for now and wait 3 more weeks after they get the package.

correct!

4 lines (1 free, 3 $20 total now). Today was using an existing paid line and got another line just to throw the rep a bone and make it easier so I could grab both S25 Ultras they had.
