iPhone 17 Pro Preorder from Apple but trade-in credit with Verizon?

[theanimala]

I was going through the Apple webpage to practice ordering my IP17 Pro and checked to see how much trade in credit I can get for my IP14 Pro. I see there is an instant credit, but they also showed an additional $530 trade in credit from Verizon.

In the past I always ordered from Verizon and sent them my trade in directly. Has anyone ordered though Apple with the option to trade in with Verizon? Not sure how the program works. Order, get instant trade in credit from Apple, take old phone to Verizon store and get bill credits for the remaking $530 over the next 36 months. Does it work like that?

You may be better off selling for cash

Going through Apple, with Verizon financing, the monthly charges on your Verizon bill will be (cost of the phone less the trade-in credit)/36. Then there will be a credit of 530/36. You’ll mail your trade-in in (to Apple, I believe).

Thanks! So I somehow messed up, ordered from Apple with trade in credits on my Verizon account. Picked up the phone yesterday and no mention of the trade in. Set up the new phone and called apple about returning my old phone and they said the order wasn’t done with a trade in.

Is it possible to “return” my new phone to Apple, but have them instantly resell the same phone to me but with the trade in? The old phone is now wiped and no longer needed so I could trade it in at the same time. I did call apple support and the rep told me they “believe” the store should be able to resell me the same phone there on the spot. Anyone know if this is possible?
