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 logged in to My Spectrum account yesterday and had no credit yet. This morning, I logged in again and the full amount for the trade-in + promotional has applied to my mobile account. I called Spectrum and in about 5 minutes the agent processed my request for refund to my cc. Smooth process.
Things to note about changes from previous years:
1) They cannot process a credit refund directly anymore, must create a ticket for another to process it
2) You cannot change the method of refund. Prior years you could change the credit card attached on account and they would just refund to that card... Now it will just credit back on the card you bought the new phone on... it will get flagged in the ticketing process for refund if the original person that put in ticket tries to refund to another card and you will have to call in to verify that it was done wrong...
Still not clear clarification on. Have they changed the tax credit process from previous years? Almost every person stated that spectrum has NEVER gave tax credit on trade ins and i know for fact that is a lie but I found 1 person today said when credit comes back over to spectrum, it should show tax credit included (which was the old way)
Its a shame for those that cannot do a trade in in-store because you wouldn't pay really any taxes or non at all depending on trade in...

For me, UPS delivered on April 23rd, got accepted email on May 4th.
Shocking! But not unexpected as some have reported Assurant messing up the trade-in.
I received the dreaded "Action required for your adjusted Spectrum Mobile Anytime Upgrade offer" email yesterday. It said "We've assessed it and adjusted your offer due to:
- Serial Number Mismatch"
When I click through to their tradein website - they stated the Adjusted Trade-In Amount - which happens to be the same as the stated "Initial Estimate".Looking for the Serial Number Mismatch - they're referring to the IMEI here, I noticed that I had a 3 in the IMEI info I had entered and they claim it should be an 8. I thought - Damn, Silly me! But I checked the IMEI against the screenshots I had taken before sending the trade-in phone, and............I was CORRECT! It should indeed be a 3. The Ass-urant Inspector had read it wrong. 🙄 Not much Quality Assurance at Assurant. Smh.
I phoned Spectrum this morning, first to confirm that the adjusted trade-in value (same as the initial estimate) will not mean that I relinquish the promo $700. The rep confirmed that I will get the promo value as well. Then, second - I made sure that they make a note that the IMEI detail I had sent is in fact correct.
Now the wait for the correct trade-in amount to be credited to my account.
