So I just clicked on the option to mail in the receipts.

Enter your device’s HEX MEID or IMEI number and Wi-Fi MAC address.

(Applications > Settings > General > About Device > Status)

Upload both preorder and trade-in receipts for validation.

The highlights in RED are what I'll be clarifying:

[I went into the TM store, called Samsung directly 3 times, Live chatted with them and spent half the day trying to get to the bottom of this.]

Can you trade in any working smart phone?

YES, as long as your smart phone is working, BUT the device

must

be eligible to receive at least $10 as a trade in. Bring your smart phone into a TM store or call them to get a trade in value amount -OR- if you'll be buying the phone from Best Buy, Walmart, Radio Shack or any other participating retailer, bring your old smart phone to them to find out your trade in amount. If any of them will give you more than $10 for your old phone, then you're all good to go. If not, then .... well go buy the cheapest eligible smart phone that you know for sure can get $10 trade in value from TM or any of the participating retailers. What is $200 worth to you? So what if you have to buy a beater eligible smart phone for $50....you're still in the plus $150. No brainer.

Ok what now?

Once you've confirmed that your smart phone trade in is over $10, then you need to obviously pre-order the phone at TM (store/phone/online) or at any of the participating retailers. Best Buy is actually the best because if you're buying your N4 with them, the $200 credit is instant where you can apply it to the purchase price of the N4. (Someone confirm this, but I think Samsung (kiosk/store) that's inside Best Buy don't have TM?) Anyhow, whoever you pre-order from, you will obviously get a receipt for the pre-order......????

What the heck is a trade in receipt?

If you're like the many who have pre-ordered online/phone/store with T-Mobile, you are not alone in scratching your head in trying to figure out what the heck a valid trade in receipt is. What is it exactly that we need to upload? When you pre-order with T-Mobile in the store, they will take your trade in right there and then and that info. should be printed on the transaction receipt. If you are ordering online/phone with T-Mobile, you will receive the Agreement emailed to you with a break down of the cost of your N4. You can then go into your myT-Mobile account and see the pre-paid shipping label included which contains the quote info. This I think you can use to submit the promo offer. So the question about the 'trade in receipt' ??? I think this is it....

Update: According to the TM rep, he said that once the N4 ships out that I will receive a receipt with the trade in value info on that piece of paper. Really? We'll have to wait and see. TM rep's weren't very familiar with the Samsung pro....

So the big mysterious question is: What the heck is a VALID trade in receipt??? Because come the 10th....what do we upload?!

Let it fly guys...please keep it clean and precise.
