Managed to get the s26 base. What a trip. in-store reps are indeed mentally challenged.
* moto g play 2026 (straight talk) is locked down. Phone is bricked out of the box without activating straight talk plan (was not the case 2025 and earlier).
* back to walmart, got the tracfone moto g 5g ($50) 2024 (moto g 5g is listed for trade in). In-store rep refused the trade, because 2024 isn't called out by year. WTF
* back to walmart, got the tracfone moto g 5g 2025 ($50). in-store reps suspicious now wondering how i own so many moto phones. They are forced to honor the trade this time.
MOTO G 5G
MOTO G 5G 2022
MOTO G 5G 2025
MOTO G 5G 2026
I wonder what the "MOTO G 5G" without the year listed is suppose to be since they have 2022 available for trade-in so both 2023 and 2024 should also be available. When I select MOTO G 5G without the year listed it gives option to then select 64gb or 128gb and as far as I can tell the 64gb option was only available for the 2023 year and not 2024, so maybe it is suppose to be 2023.
They ended up giving me $895 for the Flip7 and gave me an addtional $40 off my existing Spectrum internet for a year!
This is the 3rd year in a row that they've absolutely hooked me up with freebies (last year was a free mobile line) - Pretty happy with everything

I say this from experience because what happened was my 1 year of free mobile was ending from a previous promotion and I called in to cancel the line and they transferred me to the retention department. What they ended up doing was giving me a new promotion for my other Spectrum services and terminated my mobile line and then next billing cycle I was able to setup a new line with another 1 year free offer.
I went to another local store and got my s25 traded to S26 as an upgrade, basically paying $6+taxes on the msrp, total $85. The employee who helped me was a pro, nice and very efficient, and so the entire process was very smooth, done in about 25 minutes.
The new customer extra credit (ex: $400) seems to be a bit of a hearsay even among the employees. Upon my asking, he even went to confirm with his manager, and came back with "the $400 new customer credit is spread over 36 months, and not instant", but what made it bogus was the fact that he was telling the same thing for the $700 promo, but I ended up getting the full $700 as instant credit, I selected "Pay in Full" and basically ended up paying only $85. It seems like most store employees have not yet gone through the new customer promo and they seem pretty unsure of how things will turn out for such customers. Even the terms for the $700 trade in credit does not mention instant credit and it is worded like it's spread for as monthly credits.
I also tested online for a random address that did not have spectrum service; I added $50 internet, one free phone line and then it prompted to make it 2 lines to gain the new customer promo (without specifying the promo amount or the details). Total came out to be $90 monthly ($50 internet + $10 included Advanced Wifi + $30 for 2 lines) + taxes, and option to ship or pickup equipment in store were provided. It seems there's no way to test the $400 new customer promo without actually signing up for internet as new customer.

I did search one of the S25 threads from last year for your for "New York" and it appears people at that time people were saying in NY tax is just on the net total (i.e. minus trade-in). Here is one of the relevant comments:

Although New York seems to like to take more and more taxes in any way possible each year so who knows what laws may have changed over the past year.
