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.
If you're paying in full, there is nothing involving "3 years" at all. It's paid.
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.

I doubted a lot before deciding to buy the 256gb version but it is worth it to do it, even for future trades, there is no other deal like this since the launch to the market not even in samsung.
Plus I was eligible for a free line.
I didn't even have to add a line because I have one year free with spectrum internet. The employee let me activate the phone using the existing line. VERY SLICK DEAL.
After that, several store visits resulted into employees flat out denying such trades without even trying
Since you mentioned it works on new line, I'll dissociate the s26+ from the lines and try trading for an ultra at a store tomorrow.
Thanks for confirming
also I wanted to add to the group to see what i did.
didn't have spectrum internet.
1.went to spectrum store. told them i wanted to open up a new internet so i can get the mobile service.
2. trade in your old phone (go through series of tests) and purchase the phone at full value - trade in value
3. sign up for mobile service (get 1 year free if you are getting a new line)
4. you can cancel the internet after a month but you have to pay 10 dollars per month for mobile service if you cancel the internet service.
I am up to this part now i play the waiting game.
from now on is what i read from this and previous deal page
5. wait for email from Assurant that your trade in has been accepted and 700 + whatever value of your phone has been deposited to your account as credit (i read usually two weeks but please comment on how long it took you)
6. call customer service at (833) 224-6603 and ask for that credit as a refund to cc or debit card.
7. wait 61 days and unlock your phone and cancel mobile service.

1-Bought a Verizon Prepaid Moto-G Phone from Family Dollar because it was on sale ($20). Big mistake. Verizon had done something so you cannot pass the "activation" screen. So I had to pay one month cheapest service ($38.xx). So trade-in costed me $58. My own phone (Moto G Stylus 2025) is worth around $150 on ebay, so I guess I should still feel okay.
2-Weirdly the taxes in TX is calculated as if there is no $400 discount. Why?? Are we in California? Taxes is calculated on $590 (1300-710 tradein) instead of $190 (1300-400-710). There is also $20 activation fee. Out the door, I paid $258.XX.
Other than that, everything went smoothly. No one insisted on 36 months payment plan. I asked if unlock possible before 60 days (if I prepay those 60 days) and the guy said no.
Some people here say that they got a cheapest prepaid from Walmart and took it to the Spectrum as-is. I don't know how this worked. The guy did like 10 minutes of testing on the phone. Impossible on an unactivated phone which only shows "Activate Now" screen.
