Trade-in a single line on a multi-line account?
One of the terms of the AT&T Trade In Program states "Activate eligible postpaid unlimited wireless service (min. $75/mo. for new unlimited customers before discounts)." My account has 7 unlimited lines which each cost $30. Would a single line be ineligible for a trade in since it's less than $75? Or does the $75 minimum refer to the account as a whole? (I'm specifically interested in the $1,000 bill credit trade in offer.)

Yes, it should still be eligible. It is the total cost of the phone on the plan, not just one phone. You may want to check the term as some of the older unlimited plans were not eligible.

You are missing the precise wording. It is based on the cost of one line being over $75 before discounts.
The starter plan is $75 before discount for a single line
The extra plan is $85 for a single line before discount
The premium plan is $95 for single line before discount. This is how you determine whether the PLAN is eligible
Has nothing to do with what the line cost is as long as the PLAN qualifies
The line cost on the old unlimited Plus plan was $20 per phone line. But that's not the cost for a single line
The cost of a single line on the old unlimited plus plan is $90 before discounts therefore it does qualify for these deals.
This is why the language refers to the Total cost of a single line, not just the line access fee as it appears on your bill which with discounts can be much less

To be accurate, the offer requires an "unlimited data plan with the cost before discounts for one line of $75 or more".
Unlimited data multi lines qualify because the single line qualifies.
The starter plan single line is $75 before auto pay discount or any other discounts and does qualify.
The value plus unlimited plan has a cost before discount of $60 and does not qualify

So the Unlimited Premium Plan would qualify but not the Unlimited Starter Plan?
When you have three or more lines, they're both less than $70. But for a single line the Unlimited Premium Plan is $85 and the Unlimited Starter Plan is $65.

The Unlimited Starter is $65 after the autopay/paperless discount (debit/checking, $70 for credit card). It's $75 before the discount, which is the price that matters.
Good on you for checking on this stuff before making a major purchase! You'd be surprised at how many people drop $1,000 without the slightest clue how things work.
