Not sure what the deals will be this year, but in 2017 Walmart, Target and Best Buy offered money off or gift cards in the amount of $200-$300.

The problem is you had to be on AT&T, Sprint or Verizon.

I am on T-mobile... Wondering if I could wait and pickup a deal on a XR this Black Friday...

Probably wont be anything good through T-Mobile, as they usually require to add a line or port over a number...

Thinking I could pickup one of the deals from Target/Best Buy/Walmart... Could I simply signup for a Verizon/AT&T/Sprint phone, activate, get the gift card and cancel services? Would I need to wait a certain number of days before canceling? Probably have to pay for 1 months of services and activation fees... But that would be worth the gift card...
