I just tried that and they wouldn't budge. You must have gotten a rep that was able to do it somehow because the rep I spoke to told me the unlock couldn't be done.
it took me 10 try

Same for me. Looks like they are waiting for two complete billing cycles. Below is my time line and the spectrum rep explained the following:

Trade in approved - July 31
Billing cycle - August 2nd (this billing cycle is not considered for trade in)
Billing cycle - Sept 2nd (1st complete billing cycle)
Billing cycle - Oct 2nd (2nd complete billing cycle)

I have traded one online for fold around July end and waiting for credit as my trade in was approved on Aug 1st. Later in Aug mid I opened another free line and traded in store and got instant credit for fold and after few days on the new line I upgraded to flip and traded in iphone 7. Yesterday I already got credit of $705. The first credit is yet to come and when I called they are clueless as some are saying I won't get as I got credit on other lines. I am hoping the CSR is clueless.

Good deal. Did mine last minute. The reps had no clue since I went to the store to just pay off all at once. They didn't even know about the +$1000. Kept trying to give me $438 for my phone. I said its literally on your window. LOL. Wife mad but I just said if I don't like it , I can just sell for more then I paid.

How do they count this 60-day period? Is it from the date the phone was shipped out, or from the date it was activated? I did not activate the phone until I got the trade-in credit back.

My trade-in was approved 7/24. My billing cycle also happens to end on the 24th of every month. I escalated it pretty high up with customer service and was promised that it would post by 9/24. It still hasn't. 9/24 will be both 60 days and 2 billing cycles for me. I will give it until the end of the month before reaching out again and really stepping up my efforts. Will keep you all posted.

Pretty sure it starts from activation date of the new phone.

My phones were activated on July 24, so today marks 60 days and I was able to unlock both.

Spectrum customer service keeps telling me the trade-in credit takes up to 2 billing cycles to show. My billing cycle ends on the 18th of every month, so for me that would be October 18 for two full billing cycles.

Before this upgrade, I always assumed I could safely cancel my lines after 2 full cycles since the phones would have already been unlocked and the trade in credit sent back to me. When I called today, Spectrum assured me I could still cancel the lines and the trade-in credit would post by the end of the next cycle. Honestly, I don't trust them.

So here's my question: Is it worth paying for one more billing cycle after the next one just to make sure the lines are still open and I actually get the trade-in credit, or do credits usually post even after cancellation of the lines?

Kinda wasting 20 minimum per line, keeping them open an extra month
