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.

Pay it off and then they give you the credits back on the debit card
That must be a new policy?

Went to a store today. Store rep was firm that $400 discount was for New Internet customers only even though my print out online says otherwise. Going to another store later today.
no need to question the $400 discount. as long you pay in full the $400 and $700 will show up at the final step.

Yea I tried that and asked him to check at the last step to see if it will apply, and his reply was "na it's not doing it" LMFAO. I ain't gonna risk paying more at this point, and I was afraid that they might have removed the deal.

Are you doing upgrade or add a line? Try add a line. I think they dont any bonus for upgrades.

Just walked into spectrum store and tried to trade in a moto 5g locked to StraightTalk. They ran their mirror tool and claimed I wouldn't get the 700 promo because it's locked to the network and was showing only $1 dollar trade in.
I'm very frustrated right now as that's different from what I was told before and there was no discussion, escalation or ability to fix it there.

Quote from Trashmann :
because these guys who post these phone deals always say you "must do it in store and demand they listen to you"
when 99% of the time the employees inside the store are going to tell you to pound sand and to leave the store or get you charged with trespassing if you refuse to leave.

the reality is that if you read the fine print of this offer on their website, it says that the 700 dollars "promotion credit" will be added as a billing credit, but the guys on here will tell you that if you just ask them to put it on a credit card they HAVE to do that too. and that if you just call them to unlock the phone for you, they HAVE to unlock it. and if you just bring a 30 dollar tracphone from walmart they HAVE to accept it as trade in credit.

none of this is actually in the TOS on their website tho, the guys who post these deals just make it up.

I am beginning to feel that these newbies here are from a competitor that are posting BS comments about trade in and 3 years.
Anyone else seeing a pattern...?
