Instore i upgraded 1 line s24 to 25 + about 55 with tax. Got new line i6 to s25 about 150 with tax. Tried to go s25 to ultra few days ago, was processed as return, didn't go forward. Went to different spectrum store today to get ultra, guy in front of me was being told only 1 trade in per promotion. Left. Might settle for what I got or do mail in. Last year's mail trade was stress.

Same question
They follow whatever your state sales tax law is for trade ins. It differs.

I tried to trade in an S25 for an S25+ today, and the store rep asked for $267 including a $50 restocking fee. I think the rep was doing an exchange, but I couldn't go anything about it. Might try the online route, or just stick with the S25 for now.

Did a mail in trade in and finally got the confirmation that my trade in is approved. Just wanted to provide data point. I shipped last Friday so it was pretty quick.

Did the money already get refunded?

You are lucky, tax is the biggest drawback on these deals and really eats into the profits especially when it's a $800-$1300 phone and taxes are 8%+ in most cities.

profits... 😂

I just had an experience today with the incompetent CSR at store. How were you able to fix it?

Just got back from the spectrum store as I had to drop off a modem replacement.
New Navy S25 128gb in hand for 153$ out the door (got 5$ for trade in for an old Moto G 2021). (CA resident you have to pay sales tax on the full amount of the phone which was 58$ of the 153$)
I never have been a spectrum mobile customer so they created a new line on the year free deal, waived activation. Made sure to say I want to pay in full, and wanted a physical sim. Rep was able to do it pretty easy with zero fuss. Full trade in / promo credit applied right away.
Do this deal in store guys!

Did the rep ask why you are upgrading an existing spectrum s25? If so what did you say
yes, and i told him after using it for a day, the phone felt small and i needed the bigger storage of 256gb the base s25+ comes with

I think it's just a matter of time before a memo gets shared between all stores about not accepting S25s for trades…

Went in-store today and the rep told me they are instructed to look at historical transaction and make sure that 1 trade-in promotion per line, so YMMV on the trade up S25 -> S25+/Ultra on the same line.
I opened a second line to get the S25 Ultra. $20 activation fee and $30 1st month. Still a good deal and I also don't want to drive around the town.

Bad luck, added 2 s25 lines on Monday, 1 more Tuesday and another Wednesday. Thursday upgraded one line to a s25 ultra and today tried adding another line and now I got hit with the fraud alert. They won't let me add any more lines in store. Need to do it online only.

1) anyone had this happen before and fixed it?
2) would this clear up in a week or so? The fraud team was clueless
3) anyone actually done in any trade in online and got the taxes refunded? I don't mind in the case
Tax treatment is the same in store or online. If you got taxed on the difference in store, then expect the same online. and vice versa.

No one knows how long blocks last. I'm about to find out this weekend. 7 days after my last blocked attempt. Looks like new line opening doesn't quite get around the in store transaction limit. How many lines you got total?

I had the same experience today. Was able to do an upgrade on one line by trading an s25 for s25+, got
a refund credit of $50. The rep wouldn't do the second line. Went in today to do the same thing with a new rep and they told me it would cost ~$240. When I asked they said the $700 was only once, so I think you're right that they processed as an exchange.

Has anyone tried the s25 trade in for an s25+ or ultra online using the upgrade option? Curious of this may be a work around?
