I have a 512 GB S25 Ultra. I've never done this deal before so a little confused how it works. Does anything get charged to Spectrum or can I personally pay any extra that I'm charged? I want to pay anything owed myself. I don't want it included in the Spectrum bill that a family member pays.
I tried logging into Spectrum to see what I'd owe. I see I get a full year of unlimited cell service, and my trade-in is 1086.00 but I can't add to cart to see final price because it wants me to put in my current phone number and carrier for porting and verification.. I'm afraid to do that now. I simply want to see the balance of what I'd owe. How do I find that out without committing to the deal yet? It does say Pay in Full 1099.99 when it ships. I imagine they add tax also. I just want to know the final price before committing. And I'd rather pick it up and be there to hand in my trade-in. I don't want to risk it getting lost in the mail.
When the phone comes out, can I just go to the local Spectrum store and pick it up and give my trade-in? Could I just go to the store now and do it all in person i.e. ordering and porting, etc?
Thanks in advance.

It has to be the account owner. Driver license and SSN are required. They have the option to add authorize person in the app but I never try it.
If you do it in-store:
(1299 - 1086.00) + tax
or
1299 + tax - 1086
depend on your state

Why in my case does it state that my trade-in is worth 1086.00 and then at the bottom it states 1099.99 total device cost? Did it used to cost 1299.00? It's actually showing 1499.99 crossed out.
It shows the 1499.99 crossed out and says Pay in Full 1099.99. So seems like I'd pay 13.99 + tax for the S26 Ultra?
I guess all I can do is go to the store and try. I kind of like the heavier and better built S25 Ultra so if it doesn't work out, I'm ok keeping what I have.
Thanks. I'll try and put myself as an authorized person. ETA: Tried it and you either have to put yourself as primary or transfer in your name. I just want to be added to the acct but you can't do that. I was told that I can get the free 1 year phone plan without being on the acct and just living in the house. so seemed like I should of been able to do this deal also. When I put it in the cart, they had a place that stated: Who is the phone for?__________________. Here I put my name. It didn't seem to have to be the acct holder.

And to clarify, the $1499.99 cost is for the 512gb version. $1299.99 would be cost if you go with 256gb version, which is what most people probably go with. There was a promotion for free upgrade to 512gb version but that was only with on-line preorder of the device a few weeks ago. They usually have some sort of free storage upgrade promotion each with preorders.
I have not actually received the refund yet but contacted them to see where they are sending it. Also like others have reported it does not seem that they are refunding taxes even though they are processing it as a refund linked to the original order/card.

Thanks for the insight, it's MOTO phone and same phone MOTO phone sent to Lewisville before, though both places seem to be very near by. It looks like buyer remorse returned phones sent to that address, but not sure why trade-in phones also sent to the same address. I used the QR code and I have the paper work printed with QR code. Yeah, will check back later this week.

On the page yesterday it also had an extra 1086 trade in value. Trying today I only see 700.00 trade in. I may just stop by Spectrum one day this week and talk to them. I'm not willing to pay more than 200 for the upgrade which includes tax. I'm not convinced the upgrade is that big a deal coming from the S25Ultra, which I love.
Thing is if I go to the store, they may show the 1499 or 1299 price where I show cheaper online so there that also but I did do a screenshot of what I saw yesterday so they may price match.
