The GV will initially show ok but then not go through.
People have been using $5 Visible lines ($25 - $20 referral code for first month).

Yes, it will show Verizon. You need phone number, account number, port-out PIN and ZIP. Text FOUR to 611611 and the four digits should match the last four of your phone IMEI/Account number (15-digit). The ZIP code is the one you entered when you activated the phone (for a new number, or you can check it by logging into your account on a browser). Text NTP when you're ready to buy iP13/port-out to get your 4-digit PIN.

Do I have to wait a certain amount of time before I can buy through Metro again? I bought a similar deal last fall (for the iPhone 12), then just didn't renew the monthly plan.

EDIT: I guess Metro doesn't have much of a time limit between when letting your account expire and placing new orders because I just placed an order for this ip13 and it's only been about 3-4 months since I let my previous metro plan expire. Also, I placed the order just minutes after creating a visible account and porting that new visible number over to metro.

You ordered two separate lines for $75 each?

You can order one line first and after activating it, you can order a second line for $35. You need the 2FA from first line to access account.
I didn't even try that… figured it be the same thing since it says it requires the $75 plan for the free iPhone13. 🀷 ♂️

I think you can always trade stuff in for gift cards. It just isn't a special promo.

when trading in to a phone, it has higher trade in value, like $235 vs $250 in this example hence why interested if can trade in two 13's for $250 each towards the 16

Activated a Visible Wireless account with $25 plan (Searched Reddit for referral code for $20 off), set up that account using an extra phone I have using the eSIM option. Followed the steps on Visible to activate device, that took about 10 minutes to do. On the activated device using the Visible app, go to account on the bottom right of the screen, you'll see your account number and a link that says "Generate Port Out PIN".. you'll get a Port Out PIN via email in a few minutes.
After that, click the link on this post to go to the Metro deal, select "Brink Your Own Number", enter your new Visible Wireless number, continue to next page and be sure to select the $70 plan, fill out the required info, when asked be sure to type in the Visible Wireless account number, and Port Out PIN you get via email, Metro will verify the info, pay up.. And that's it.
I did this twice, using different email addresses.. Both orders confirmed and free 2 day shipping.
Do I need to have spare esim enabled phone the get visible number activated? Can I use normal sim spare phone?

How many phones did you get last fall? Did you enter anything differently (billing/shipping address, e-mail account you used last time, a different credit card than before)? I am in a similar boat as you in terms of the timeline, though I bought four iPhones within a month last time. And because the iPhone 13 page currently states that you can get the ip13 two times, and that you can get up to four deals, I think what I am curious about is how many total deals have you gotten from Metro, including any from 3-4 months ago.
Last time I bought three ip12s and one Samsung a35 over 30 days. This time I used a different email account and cc, otherwise everything else was the same.

Also, where does it say "you can get the ip13 two times, and that you can get up to four deals"?

Is it the phone IMEI or is it the IMEI from the card that came with the Tracfone? They are different from each other.

Same as me. I think we need to wait until the transfer is failed and the system release number.
You need to call them and transfer to their porting department and have them cancel the port. Once it's cancelled try it again after 4 hrs.

It can be a glitchy process trying to add additional lines - I know from experience. Easily 15-20 attempts to get additional lines, and I was only successful once. Called to clear the port request every time after it failed. I've talked to several other departments, in addiiton to that. Honestly, I'm coming to the conclusion it's just not worth the $30 savings, if you start getting error messages on additional lines. Many hours burned to save $30, probably below federal minimum wage averaged out.

Was all your other info (name, address, cc#, etc.) the same except you used a different email to sign up Metro?

If you can get the order for the first device + $75 plan then you can usually get 2 or even 3 total within that first month spaced out. Having ordered four devices usually isn't enough to get blacklisted.
