No. $400 off the top. S26 Ultra is $899 already (not $1299). Get a cheap prepaid phone (I have a Galaxy A03s), they'll give me $5 + $700 promo credit = $705. My total will end up being $194 + tax. Pay in full. There's no way I would give up my S25 Ultra in this case. It's worth more selling on the private market.
I did this a month ago and got an S26 the same way. I'll do the S26 Ultra tomorrow on the same line.
I do in-store, though. Sales tax is applied differently (since your trade-in is evaluated and applied right away) as opposed to doing it online and waiting for the promo credit to hit.

No. Pay the cost of the phone at checkout, send in your trade-in and you'll get the FULL value applied to your account. You can call/chat and have that credit applied as a refund to your credit card.
If you're paying in full, there is nothing involving "3 years" at all. It's paid.

Yes! And it's MUCH better. At least in TX and many other states, you make out a lot better because you only pay sales tax on the amount AFTER your trade-in is applied.
If you do it online, you pay the FULL sales tax of the device and the credit is applied later, no sales tax refunded.
I will literally save something like $95 doing it in-store rather than online.

Went into a store today in California. I already had a line with Spectrum that was eligible for an upgrade. I traded in an iPhone 12 Pro and walked out with an Ultra. Paid everything upfront. Total out of pocket was $119 for the Ultra + $117 for sales tax and fees = $236. Now just have to wait the 60 days for unlock. Slick deal. Thanks OP.

It's not a good deal tho, people do not want to stay on spectrum mobile and unless you stay on their service for THREE YEARS. you lose all your promotional credit. why are you not being honest about the promo?
You're misunderstanding the promo. If you go in store you can get the total amount credited upfront. Not over three years.

Yeah I probably could've have bought something to trade in for $45. But that meant waiting a day or two for it to arrive and then another trip to the Apple Store to trade in the iPhone. I'll take the loss for the saved time and hassle.

Wait, so going in person they gave you the credit for the trade in on the spot? You didn't have to wait for approval once they send to their warehouse or whatever?

I have one question: ๐Ÿ˜‡

If I pay off the device upfront and receive the trade-in credit back to my credit card, what would happen if I cancel/port-out the mobile service after 2โ€“3 months?

I have spectrum internet, but not a mobile line.

If I trade in an S24+ 512GB phone for $910, how much would I pay for the s26 ultra?

I need 3 phones....what's the best way to go about doing the trade in?

Can I activate free line, trade in for a s26 ultra and then use the same free line to do 2 more trade in? Seems like people did this last year with S25.

Planning to do this in store if that matters.
