I got this email on 12th and haven't seen the credit in my account yet.
Did you also contact customer care and have them send it back to your original payment method? Many do that here.

Not even hiding the Walmart bag 😂

I scuff mine up a bit even if brand new lol
Just went to the store. Had 2 brand new moto g plays. Agent asked if I had just bought it, and I said yes. He said he was thinking of doing the same thing.

Even told me about how if I bought the s25, and then traded it in I could get 413+700 for the trade in.

So, my point is they know about all of this and most of them don't care.

Went into the store today, 8 days after I was last blocked in store after doing 3 trades. Still no go. Error msg on the last step. Added wife as an authorized user and used her ID but still getting blocked. Time to go online route.

you can do multiple trade-ins in one line. But I don't know if you can do 2nd trade in before you see the credit from the 1st one. I'm still waiting for the credit from my 1st trade in.
You can.

Dude, this is what the whole posting thread is full of.....
It's not just that I could do the upgrade, but that the guy at the store asked how I liked the phone and suggested the 25 to 25+ trade in himself. And told me I'd get the credit back. Instead of resisting or being unhelpful.

Same situation here with the block on the last step, but i've never done anything with spectrum mobile outside of using the free line they offered for 6 months. I ended up placing an online order, and once that comes in i'll try my luck at the store again. I have two phones for trade in but only ordered one s25 online because i don't feel like fronting so much $$$

nope, I finally hit that roadblock trying to open two more new lines to trade in the s25s. got C-blocked... lol

online route I go! if not, I wait and trade in the s25s to Bestbuy when they enable it. I did this last year with some of the s24s I had, grabbing around $450-500 BB gc each, I forgot exact amount as I did like 3 of them on different days to grab my new macbook pro laptop

Data point from 2 years ago during the S23 promotion, the last time I did this deal
Bought 3x S23s for about $210 each after trade in, all within 4-5 days. The last time, I traded in a S23 for an ultra and then I got stuck with the fraud block.

This year 4xS25s and then one ultra upgrade within 4-5 days. After that have the fraud block. So its either doing so much activity within a short time or upgrading the lines that causes the block. Seems weird as this is not happening to other people, at least not immediately.

------------------------------------

Now, Trying to decide if its worth getting one more S25 online to sell off. Considering after trading the phones, and 2 months of service, the total for the S25 comes out to about $190 dollars. 190X4 = $720 + $200 to upgrade to the Ultra = $960


I am thinking these will probably sell for around $5-550 dollars in 2 months and selling off 2 of the S25s will pretty much let me break even to get a free S25 and S25 Ultra.

so is it worth the trouble to get another for $300 bucks?

Will these samsungs ever be free without a fancy trade-in?

you non-californians are lucky you don't have to pay tax.
$80 los angeles sales tax kills the deal

my last phone deal was the metro $40 moto g stylus 5g 2023, and based on what I use the phone for, I can't justify spending ~$180 on a phone.
The moto 2023 is plenty fast.

You don't slickdeal very well, I take it

In strictly financial terms, consider the 40 you'll spend and use for two years on Moto and have zero resale value if it even works reliably after that point (though has value as Spectrum trade in LOL) vs 180 on this that you can then easily turn around and resale for that much if not a bit more two years from now. Plus use for a lot more than two years. Smartphone tech has plateaued after all. It just makes sense

And tax doesn't kill the deal. We do pay sales tax in Texas anyway. 97 out the door upgrading to S25 with QVC moto g play 2023 I got for 20 bucks

Throw in 40 bucks for two months service to unlock it. 160 for a phone that's now one of the fastest per benchmarks, faster than even the IPhone 16? Come on now

The trade in or resale value three years down the line alone justifies it. That's not to even mention the 7 years OS updates and security. Moto won't make it past three, if that. This thing has the hardware to last all the way through if you want it to

And if you're using this even for normal web browsing, Google Maps, apps, and spending more than an hour on it daily, you'll feel the difference. I do a lot on my phone, and even setting up the Moto G Play 2023 reminded me of how shlocky a budget phone it is especially in contrast to S25 for daily use. And that's with the "light" performance mode I've kept on since getting it

It's worth it as a major quality of life improvement at this price. I'd recommend it heartily after playing with everything from budget motos to iPhones to pixel and Samsung flagships over the years

Or you know, I guess everyone here, all hundreds of pages worth, just are misjudging the value and should go with the Moto. Knowing SD, I know they're not and they've gone down the budget phone path already

This is one of the slickest deals to come around every year lol
