So I "pre-ordered" the Note 4 from T-Mobile at the last minute on 10/16 (it was like 11:50PM). I don't believe any of my email receipts mention "pre-order".
I also haven't done a trade-in yet with one of my old phones (not able to find one yet that's worth at least $10). I was reading the fine print of the original pre-order promo and it sounds like as long as I buy the Note 4 by 10/16 I can do the trade-in after 10/16, and not necessarily at the same store?
Would someone please confirm I'm reading this right? Since without the $200 rebate I'll be returning the phone.
That's how I read it to - the "pre-order" is determined by the date of order on your receipt. I also did a trade-in at a different retailer.
With the equivalent Samsung $200 offer for non-preorders as long as you trade-in at the same place, you could always cancel and just do it all again at T-mobile.
