Where can I find the "Don't leave" coupon?
online, once you add to cart, you leave it a few minutes going to another tab or window, then when you hover near the close tab, it appears, but ymmv

I paid $308 for 2 after all the taxes and fees. Traded in to Apple immediately for 620. Half off Apple products is good enough for me

Line port in - 29.99 for the phone + $60.00 for 1 month + $25.00 activation fee but then taxes are $50.00 (they charge taxes on full price of phone $599.00 or whatever apple states) before discount so where I live so it comes out to like $165. and some change then you have to have at least 3x months of $55.00 with auto pay activation. I was just told by a Cricket rep, she was nice in explaining this. All phones are brand new from Apple. Previous deal was $199.00 through Walmart but this is like a back to school special. Any thoughts if this is worth it?... Also apple will not accept any locked phones trade in. I tried that already with on old Xr that is unlocked but shows - Activation status - Active

Will report back tomorrow, still waiting for tello to give me my port out pin, they apparently now have a 5-7 business days clock running before you get the account and port pin, a little annoying. I actually called and asked where I could find this info in the term and conditions and the agent was not even able to find the info…I was like oooookay then

Just so you know, SDers who say "locked" are talking about the phone being locked to a specific service. E.g. You can only use the phone with Cricket's service and nowhere else. It's not about the activation lock.

For trade-ins, Apple will accept phones that are locked to a specific service, as long as they're fully paid off and not blacklisted. But Apple won't accept phones where the owner did not disable the activation lock.

Got it, I just got the port out pin, I'll try today. Hoping for the best!

Edit: Update, tello works. It was a little sketchy, probably because I tried (and failed) checking out online several times. I could not replicate the 29.99 device price, the cricket reps said it should be 29.99 and comped out the $25 activation fee since they couldn't get the price down to the promo $29.99.

I've been facing the same problem, tried multiple payment methods and addresses. Hasn't worked so far.
I'm trying in store today. As far as the online issue, my suspicion is Crickets system is cancelling the order because the phone associated with the number I'm attempting to port in isn't compatible with Crickets network. This shouldn't matter, but that is my thought. Have you entered your IMEI number on Crickets site to see if the phone is compatible?
