Reply With QuoteAnyone have an idea of if/when TF will carry the Galaxy A54? I'm due to redeem 40K points in a few weeks. Wondering if I should just leave the points in the account until there are some new offerings.

It's OOS now so they may have ran out of it after you added the first one.Originally Posted by Joshtt

The iPhone 11 reconditioned was showing in stock on it's own page, but was listed out of stock on the main page with all the phones listed.

So I took a chance and bought one, with partial reward points...
It did show in stock on two different browsers and the checkout process went through fine.
What are the chances it really was in stock?

It looks like it is OOS now.
I always go by the product page since that's where you buy it from.
The main phone summary page is often wrong. It lags behind the product page by half hour or so.
So it will show OOS when it is in stock and in stock (like it is doing now) when it is actually OOS.

I ordered one s23 trading a refurb iphone 11 yesterday on my current fi account with 19 days left on Pixel 7/se promo.... I have 2 more 11's to trade... If i refer myself on FI how quickly does the $20 referral money kick in? Wondering if it would pay for one month (pretax) of each account during the 120 day required wait..

The referral $20 credit becomes available for use 30 days AFTER THE REFEREE's PHONE WAS ACTIVATED. Similar to TF, both accounts have to be active on the vesting date.
Phone Collector
Thanks Hpham.. Im assuming the credit auto applies the month after it becomes available? Is your understanding of the current customer deal that the S23 will just replace the P7 line once I activate it? (similar to the 30 day s22 promo). Im reading so many conflicting posts (saying port in required for current customers) but the terminology on the promo page appears the same unless Im missing it..(other then the 30/120 day wait)

If you have Fi credit, the bill is always paid with that first, any shortage comes out of your credit card.
I haven't looked at the terms specifically for the S23, but usually if you're a Fi member but no active line then you have to port in a number. If you have an active Fi line, it will be transferred to the S23.

Normally the $20 credit applies on the second Fi bill, but I and others have experienced due to bill timing that it doesn't apply till the third. Given many deals require 120 days of service, it really doesn't matter. You end up saving $20 off the roughly $100 in required service (assuming you use no data and just leave the Fi sim in the drawer).
Flipping a 11 for an S22 still because it only had 30 days of active service required for existing members, vs 120 days for both existing and new for an S23. But as of right now Fi is still offering $310 for a 11, so basically an even trade. So thinking about if I want to spend a $100 for a new S23 after cashing out points for a 11 with TracFone.

Thank you for the detailed answer.
Is there any way to get the required added plan off the new phone without going through adding a line?
I ask as this phone is for trading in as is and my searches aren't finding any good info..

In the last 2 weeks or so, I ordered one black 30-day S22 and one white 30-day S22. The black one was delivered yesterday, and the white one is out for delivery today. With the new Fi S23 deal, and I have no extra i11 at the moment, plus I already have a black S22, I decided to return the new black S22 without opening the box. Got into my Fi account yesterday, selected Return Order with the reason "Too Late To Cancel". Fi issued me an RMA form and a prepaid FedEx label. I put the unopened shipment in a new box along with the RMA form and shipped at 6PM yesterday at the local FedEx office. About 30 minutes later, got two email from Fi: one said my return shipment was on its way back to Google, one said a full refund had been issued to my credit card. (Tomseys had the same speedy refund when he returned his defective Fi phone).
This morning I ordered a Fi S23 with an iPhone11 trade-in value of $310. I'll get $300 back to my card and $10 in Fi credit. The account has about $95 in Fi credit from excess trade-in credit and referrals. Together, the $105 credit should cover 120 days of service if Fi doesn't delay shipping the S23 past its current estimated delivery date of Feb 17-20.

For existing account no port in is required?

An existing Fi member is someone who current has an active Fi line, or had a Fi line within the previous 180 days. If you have an active Fi line, its service and billing are transferred to the new phone, so no port-in is required. If you have no active Fi line, then you have to port-in. I've ordered 30-day S22s in either status. With the S23 order I placed today, I have an active Fi line (the 30-day S22 that just finished its terms), so no port-in is required.
