The $650 amount is a maximum, subject to conditions we’ll describe below, but there doesn’t appear to be a significant catch in the scheme. And to sweeten the deal, you can combine this latest offer with AT&T’s current buy-one-get-one-free offer on some of its most popular smartphones. So if you’re looking for a time to bid adieu to one carrier in favor of another, this opportunity may be worth looking into.
While the term “eligible smartphone” may raise some eyebrows, not to worry — that simply means it simply must carry, at a minimum, a $10 value. So chances are, if you’re a smartphone owner of any sort, you qualify. Once you bring your old device in, you’ll receive “either AT&T store credit or an AT&T Promotion Card in the amount of your trade-in value.”
Then, you’ll have to submit your final statement from your old carrier, whereupon you’ll be gifted “an AT&T promotion Visa pre-paid gift card in the amount of the early termination fee or device balance owed on your final bill minus your trade-in value.” The total credit value, according to AT&T, is up to $650.
“These offers are some of our best to date,” said Glenn Lurie, president and CEO, AT&T Mobility. “Our $650 credit is a great reward for new customers who switch to AT&T and our buy-one, get-one free is another great reward for our valued customers in the market for new smartphones. There has never been a better time for new and existing AT&T customers to rack up the savings.”
Of course, the main thing to note is that the you can receive up to $650, and not necessarily that full amount — but something’s still better than nothing.
