We did this last year when the 8/8+ was released. Even though we are eligible for upgrade this year, we were told we would loose 12 months of the “free” phone credits if we do.

Yes. The promo's fine print just requires the 'new' line to be open for the length of the credits (24 or 30 months).

Good idea! I'll call them today and see what I can get.

EDIT: I called retentions, and they only offered me $10/off a month for life. Better than nothing. The AT&T girl who answered said that they have promotions ready to run on the iPhone Xs in the next 1-2 months, but she can't tell me when just yet.
Do you have directv also? Maybe that was why I was able to get it.
 
Sprint is offering this iPhone XS/XSMax 64gb deal when you switch and trade in a phone for $0 to $4.17 per month for 18 months. You can get the higher gb storage if you pay the difference upfront. Plus, if you switch to Sprint you get a $100 prepaid Mastercard for each new line of service. Just an FYI

Will ATT match this deal?
 
But that is not true....look at my previous post. The "Give One" phone credits are split out over 30 months and if paid off early go away.

That’s what we were told. We couldn’t even pay off one early so we can upgrade and leave the discounted one.

Someone on Reddit did tell me that once the credits start on the "Give One" phone, you are safe to pay off the "Buy One"

You would think so but we were told that we can’t without loosing the credit. Of course, can’t trust everything c/s tell you.

I agree with that. I thought it was a 30 month deal only but it seems you can also do it in 24 months, you are right though if you pay it off early you will lose your credits.

But the T&C specifically says “credit over 30 months”.

This is for a lease, you won't own the phone after 18 months plus you have to trade in an "eligible phone". The small print from Sprints offer...."Upon completion of 18-mo. term, customer can continue to pay monthly lease amount, purchase or return the device. Customer is responsible for insurance and repairs. Early termination of lease/service: Remaining lease payments will be due immediately, and requires device return or payment of purchase option device price in lease."

That is what I thought too, I will go back and read it from beginning to end again. I know with my 7s+ that was the case it was 30 months that one still has 6 months left. Going to upgrade on my sons line since he buys his phones off market and ditch my # for the new line. Husband is still using an iPhone 5 and complains that he can not do some things anymore, lol, so making him upgrade whether he likes it or not.

You trade it in or pay off the remaining 6 months outright $275.04 or pay remaining 6 pyts monthly at $45.84 (XSM example). So, you are still getting the phone for $275.04 + $75.06 for 18 installments payments. Total of $350 for a $1099 XSMax phone. Everyone is responsible for repairs (get ins if you want) Plus they give you $100 Mastercard for each line.
