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.

ABSOLUTELY HOT DEAL!!
Went to the spectrum store in southwest austin and traded in a 35 dollar moto g 2025 purchased from the walmart next door. The rep claimed you could not trade in a locked phone but I told him it was accepted by the online system and he tried it again and it worked. Was in and out in 30 mins. Total paid 650 for 256gb s26 ultra. Also have a free line of service with their internet plan that we're paying for. Super hot deal!!!
Be sure to check back next year if you like this sort of deal. The $700 trade-in credit has been an annual thing. You might be able to get a good deal trading in the S26 Ultra for a $27 Ultra.

Did you do it online or with the sales rep over the phone? Trying to order the S26 ultra online for two days now and the website is terribly buggy and unreliable, kicking out random errors or at times just not letting me go through to the next screen. I've tried on both Safari and chrome and on different devices.

Don't want to go to the store and waste an hour, but it looks like this is the only way.
You might benefit from doing it in-store anyway because people are reporting issues with getting tax refunded this year with on-line trade in. So you could potentially save tax on the trade-in amount since that would be subtracted from your total in-store, if it is worth your time.

Has anyone successfully received trade-in credits back on a different card?
I have not done it this year yet but in previous years what I did was change they card on file on my Spectrum mobile account before requesting the refund. I would confirm that they were sending it back to the card on file. The very first time that I requested a refund they asked me if I wanted it to go back to card on file and I said no and gave them a different card, which is why I started switching to my card on my account before requesting the refund.

I did it in store last week and this week. Tax was on the net amount.
I am not sure why they charge tax on the full amount online (before $200 pre-order discount) and also don't refund tax on the promotion amount credit. I paid extra $110 in tax for the S26 Ultra pre-order.

Quote from DelightfulJuice6656 :
I have not done in-store trade in (yet) but several people including those in NYC have reported that they have only paid tax on the net cost (i.e. minus the trade-in credit). There may be states with exception but none that I have seen reported yet this year. At least one person has reported that the store had them mail in their device and they did not receive the credit in-store (but that seems to be uncommon).
I can confirm that in store is cheaper here in Austin Texas. I initially ordered online and my total was 700ish. When I did it in store, my total was 645. It seems that the tax they charged in store was on the net cost, not the full value of the device. Another reason to do it in sore.

Just came back from local spectrum store. Traded my Spectrum S26 base vs iPhone 17e. Tax on full msrp here in California. Total out of pocket $49. Cool young guy at the store made the experience so much better, smooth and fast. Was done in about 10 minutes.

Earlier today I went to a store near me, but the moment I started with trading s26 , the guy at that store immediately began telling me the iPhone 17e is not available. He asked what color, and I said anything except pink. Then he tells me they got pink🤔. I then asked if they have base s26 to add to my second new line. Then he tells me base s26 is out and they only have plus and ultra. Damn. What a weirdo. If I ever need to go back to that store and he's the one available, I'll ask for a different employee. I felt like he was intentionally trying to make things difficult for me. Maybe he previously worked for Metro dealers and learned all the negative experiences. I thanked him and left .

The second store employee was awesome.

Dude, when you ported your numbers out from 2 lines, how are you going to unlock your S26?

I just ordered a trade-in Motorola G 5G 2025 online for S26 successfully, so who said 1 trade-in per line? This is my 2nd trade-in in the same existing line and I did get $705 Off offer too.
Did you get this Moto G 2025 from Walmart? And was it Tracefone or Straightalk?

Oh really, so you will put the S26 from two ported out lines on your main line when you call in to request unlock? I assume the 60 days counter on those S26 already started right? It is very interesting. I need to learn from this.

How long does Assurant take to inspect a phone? Mine was delivered on 03/18, but I still haven't received any updates regarding the inspection or credit.
