i remember last year, people who did pre-order and mailed in their trade-in's were having issues with getting trade-in credit to show on their account, even after 2-3 months. Think i'm gonna go with trade-in at store again for this year.
Hi, I am about to place an order for a S26Ultra to get the promotional discount of $700. I am trying to understand whether something has materially changed since last year when you could get all the promo credits prior to completion of the annual contract had you paid the device in full. I am asking this because they have added the line "Disconnection of mobile line for any reason or initiation of an upgrade before the device is paid off will result in forfeiture of any unapplied promotional credits."
Has Spectrum store given you incorrect credit ever? I did not say they commonly adjust, I said their system is designed to prevent issues and is foolproof for employees. Their is an initial evaluation by Spectrum employees and then a second assessment when Assurant receives. If Assurant is expecting an iPhone 17 Pro Max and receives a iPhone 7 then your credit can be adjusted or removed. The reason this has never happened to you is that they system has never made such a mistake.
Online it happens more often because people are self-selecting devices and condition and can make mistakes entering IMEI number and there is no system checking before accepting like instore so chances of mistake and rejection are significantly more common.
You can certainly call and ask Spectrum/Assurant yourself to go over the terms of the trade-in and process with you.

Thanks for the reply. Has no one done an in store trade in in NY? Trying to decide if it is worth it this year. Don't need to upgrade my s25+ that I got for free last year. Like that it still has a physical sim. Would get a new s26 if it made sense but $280 plus the $35 for the trade in phone doesn't seem worth it.
Anyone from NY, would appreciate some feedback. Thanks!
Only use the cheap $30-40 phones. that s25+ has more value in local market.
BTW, the s26+ is literally the same as s25+, except the small bump in CPU. Nothing else.
to the s26 base, you're losing the QHD screen and taking a massive hit to experience. keep the s25+, buy a cheap moto 2025 $30 from walmart

That's why you pay in full in the store and it's "paid off".
Please stop speculating on theories. The trade in checking app is simply checking for physical flaws, not the model number or IMEI. Once the store trade in is done, it's done. No more adjustments.
Ignore that person, annoying whiner who likes to say random crap .... I remember them from last year.

Appreciate the reply. Was not planning on trading the S25+, have a $30 moto to trade in for a s26, just don't think it's worth it with the price going up $100 and the tax going up $75-$80 if you now have to pay full tax in NY in store. Still looking for the tax in store answer. Thanks
Bro all I did was share an experience so it can help others lol. And the only reason I remember is because you are inhibiting the same behavior as last year when you had your little fit and refused to listen to anyone.
Old habits die hard I suppose.
EDIT: Feel free to block me if you find my comment offensive. I truly do not care lol
Hahahahahah me too, I remember them too, now that you had mentioned it...
That person needs help.

no problem! Some states do tax on full amount regardless while others don't.
the s26 is a nice phone regardless. if after everything, you're spending $300-350 (moto, tax, difference) for a s26, you can sell it next year for roughly same price and get to enjoy it, then it's worth it.
Just got a notification about the trade in device. They have received it and confirmed that $705 credit in next two bill cycles. I believe it hits before that. But yes, it took 6 days for them overall to get me the update.
Was it 6 days from your shipped date or from delivered date?

They Tax after promo price in NY ($200 + Tax).
Still worth it, especially if you plan to use it youself. If you are making the trip, I would do at least two.

Thanks. So tax only on the $200 and not the full $900 in NY? My store is very convenient and the people there nice. Has been pretty empty. Will see if they have stock.

Do you mind updating us when you get the credit in the account? Most people who did the trade in for Z Flip/Fold 7 had to wait the full two month before the credit showed up, so it would be good to have confirmation whether that same wait time is now permanent or not.
- I have been switching to new phone every February for past two years but sounds like something is off this year. Do they only offer the $700 off $699.99 for S26 with trade-in for new customers? Or as an existing customer, there is still a way to get it? Asking because it shows me $700 off $899.99 fir S26 with trade-in which hasn't been the case since last year.
- Also, is it worth going to store and do the trade in, since I missed the pre-order time already?
- Sounds like they have a good deal for 17e for new customers, is there a way to avail that offer as an existing customer?
