AT&T $200 trade in credit for S8 or S8 Plus.

Store rep was a bit confusing if I could use the whole $200 towards the S8 plus. I have an S5 that is worth $45 from AT&T so it qualifies for the $200 trade in. I want to put $400 down with the $200 trade in and finance the rest, is that possible?

I don't think you can break up the payments like that. They can apply the credit and finance the rest, but as far as I knew, if you pay extra it has to be for how much you owe.

But can I apply the whole $200 towards phone? Rep said that it only can cover the tax and the rest on the account as a credit, which means I can't apply the rest to the actual phone.

the credit would go to the payments since it is credit on your account, although it will get eaten up by the plan itself quickly.

Too bad they won't let you use it all on the phone.

I traded in a note 5 and a S6 on the 21st that both were on At&t to verizon..
Verizon gave me 396.00 trade in on each of the two phones.
That gave me like a 16.50 credit on each toward a device payment.
They wanted a device payment for 2 yrs to make sure I stay with them.
