Learn about trade-in with monthly bill credits
When you have an eligible trade-in with a monthly bill credits promotion, you’ll receive the credits in one of two ways depending on how you purchased the new device.
- If you pay upfront for the new device:
- You receive the monthly bill credits starting with the first bill. These credits go towards your monthly bill payment, which includes Fi service taxes and fees.
- We refund the appropriate trade-in value to your original form of payment after the trade-in inspection is finished and your device passes trade-in inspection.
- Monthly bill credits continue for 24 months, or until you leave Fi, whichever is earlier.
- If you pay for the new device through device financing:
- You receive the monthly bill credits starting with the first bill. These credits go towards your monthly bill payment, which includes Fi service taxes and fees.
- We refund the appropriate trade-in value in the form of lump sum Fi service credits after the trade-in inspection is finished and your device passes the trade-in inspection.
