I traded in 2 phones online:
Moto G play 2024 to a S25: Cost was $875 (w/ FL tax)
S25 to S25+: Cost was $1069 (w/ FL tax)
Total was: $1944

I received credit back of $1853 for both phones after trade in is complete. $710 for the moto g and $1113 for the S25.

Based on my previous in store trade-ins, total cost for Moto G to S25 was $116, and after trade in S25 to S25+ is about -100. So it seems like I did not get the tax refunded after the trade in.

Anyone have an experience with getting Spectrum CS to fix this?

Anyone not get the email "We're ready to receive your device for Trade-In."? I placed 2 trade in orders online, 1 for each of 2 lines. I got 1 trade in email only. I asked chat, and chat said it is the same offer number for both orders. I don't see how that can be right. The offer number shows the IMEI of the trade in phone. What should I do?
There should be 2 emails, I did 2 trade in's for 2 lines at the same time and that's how it was for me. I would check and make sure there wasn't a fraud check put on one of the orders. I've seen some people here say they missed the fraud email or it went to the spam folder.

I agree with you that there should be 2 emails. There's not a fraud check because I already received both ordered phones. It wasn't in the spam folder either. Spectrum chat specifically said it was the same offer number for both orders, which I don't believe for a second.

I might have to return the phone that didn't get the trade in email, because I am not taking any chances if I don't get the trade in email for that order. I didn't open it and there's still more than a week before 14 days.

Tax refunds are dependent on the state. Does FL refund taxes? My state does not.

Like I stated, when I called, the agent saw my recent credit for the s25+ trade in, but not my two S25s. The agent told me to check with my bank, since the agent didn't see my credits on there for the S25s. 10 minutes later, after pressing the agent, the agent all a sudden finds the credits. The agent says they will have all the credits sent back to my banking institution.

I decide to call back, and ask an agent if they see that refund initiated on their end. They tell me the amount is about 30 dollars different than what the first agent told me.

I check my banking institution today, and see I have a pending refund from Spectrum for the amount I was told by the first agent.

The jest of it is that the agents don't really know what is going on. It seems like a combination of the system being too confusing for them, and bad training.

My advice is to perform your trade ins and other tasks, then wait a week or two, so things can get finalized. Then, call back with all your info, including when you saw the trade ins credited on your Spectrum account. That way, you can lead them to the correct solution.

There is a lot of worrying on here about unlocking. I hope you know not to trust what one agent tells you.

I second this.

First call, agent didn't see the tax refund in the amount to be refunded so I hung up.

Second call the agent had the correct amount which I now see pending at my bank.
The estimated bill is so confusing, especially if you have done a bunch of trades.
Should all even out on the next bill.

In the end I think the total was off by 3 or 4 dollars but I am not complaining.

Keeping all my lines to unlock but it will probably work fine for most people if they rotate.

Good luck to everyone!

I canceled a line over the phone and it's pretty funny the tactics they use to make it a barrier to cancel. First guy transferred me to a second guy with a 15 min additional hold time. Then the guy is like making weird noises like he is on the toilet the whole time and confirming with me I want to cancel 3 times and saying his computer system is going slow and down and at the end it takes 5 minutes wait to cancel the line tomorrow at end of billing cycle. What a joke, nice trip back to the pre-internet era
