I believe all carriers and best buy are offering $200 when you trade in any working smartphone. I've tried going through the preordering process on Verizon's site it doesn't look like that promotion shows up anywhere in the order. Has anyone been able to take advantage of the trade in promotion and knows how it works?
I'm also wondering what type of damage they might inspect for. Some carriers and best buy specify that they're only looking for cracked screens and whether or not it powers on. I wanted to trade in an old Droid X that I found laying around my house but I noticed that the liquid indicator was triggered so I'm not sure if they would accept it. I called up Verizon and they told me that they inspect for any corrosion and if there is, they would charge me $300 for sending them a defective device. Does anyone know if they really do that?
I was also told that I would need to use an upgrade in order to be eligible for the trade in. I have no upgrades anytime soon and was hoping to be able to buy it at full retail. My new plan is to add a new line and purchase the Note 5 and do the trade in. Cancel the new line, pay the ETF, and keep the phone. Does anyone know if this is feasible or know of another way to take advantage of this promotion without an upgrade?
