A question for the people who have done this deal in previous years
If we see the "Your credit of $XXX will be applied to next month's bill" just like in the screenshot in the quoted comment, can we go ahead and cancel all our Spectrum Mobile lines except the one free line and still receive the refund to our credit card, even if the credit is on the other paid lines? Or do we need to pay for another billing cycle and waste another $20 per paid line just to receive the refund? (in other words, is the refund tied to the specific line or to the whole account?)
I only have one free line
Day 1 in store bought S25 using a Motorola trade in
Day 2 in store bought another S25 using a different Motorola trade in
Day 3 ordered S25+ online using Day 1's S25 for trade in (had to do online for 512GB version of the S25+)
Day 4 my S25+ shipped today for delivery on Wed
Do with this info as you will.
Is it available in store now?
edit: but in all likelihood if you are going to hard and haven't bought any lines and use a free line to make all these purchases and upgrades. The you prob got caught basically. What you are doing is lightweight fraud is what it means

People been doing stuff with impunity and no, you're not breaking their terms or any laws of course. But shouldn't just ask if you can do it, but whether you should
And the only way I can say trading in is legitimate is if you're going from one phone from another once or twice after actually trying the phone out and plausibly wanting a different one
Not to be turd or party pooper
It's clear Samsung wants to get their number of units sold up, and Spectrum wants new signup and is along for the ride. And I'm here for it
Just use your best judgment
Someone yesterday wrote that they demanded to upgrade at same store with same rep right after getting their s25. Of course it'll deny you. As it should
Could somebody assure me that this is not just a "spectrum credit" but an amount they give back to my original method of purchase at once?
In Spectrum portal I see that both lines are eligible for upgrades and I have added details to cart and checked, it seems online is allowing you to trade S25 and get S25 Ultra.
I am just wondering if I will flagged as fraud if i do trades inshore, Any suggestions ?

I noticed you're amused by the idea of repeatedly purchasing Spectrum's Samsung S25 during their sale to resell for profit, thinking it's not fraudulent. However, it's important to understand that this practice can be legally questionable.
Fraud is defined as wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain. By continually upgrading a free line to obtain the latest devices and then selling them, you're engaging in deceptive behavior that deprives the company and its shareholders of value. Even if you're transparent with the sales representatives, the higher-ups have systems in place to detect such activities, which are designed to prevent exactly this kind of exploitation.
While you might not face legal consequences for a small number of transactions, scaling this operation—say, involving a group of 40 people—could attract federal attention and be considered fraudulent. It's not that people don't get in trouble for minor offenses; it's that larger, organized schemes are more likely to be prosecuted.
Just something to consider before continuing with this approach even if just the other people reading see this,
Signed,
