Problem with Trade in credits

There was a promo for trade in iPhone 6 for an iphone 7 and get 650 in credits over two years. So I filled out the online form and did two iPhone 6's for two iphone 7's. I never heard anything so I found their web site to look up the valve and it said 145 for one iphone and 28.80 for the other and thats Crap! Both iphones were in perfect condition, no scratches or marks or cracks of any kind and they worked great still like new. So I can't figure what the deal is. I called them and they said that one had find my phone on which it did not! Then they had me talk to someone else and they said no find my phone isn't on its just not in what they call perfect shape which is also ridiculous. Then a third person told me no its fine but the phone is just locked, I told him that I reset it to factory and just says Hello and Hola and he said well your right it can't be locked then and to call back in a couple of days and maybe the warehouse will update the info. Att customer service told me to tell the att rebate center to send my phones back to me and they said they don't control that and can't and ask Att customer service to send the phones back to me. I just keep getting sent to different people and none have a clue with what's going on with my promo. I was true and honest and sent my phones to ATT and they are not being true and honest to me. I just couldn't believe that ATT would scam me! I have been a loyal customer since they bought out Cingular but now I just want my old phones back and to leave to any Company but this one!

Are you sure you have no credits?

 I will assume you checked the account ....  Are you paying for the new phone in installments?

Never been late paying, and filled out the fall trade in promo code online

Next step is to contact the advanced support team here @ATTMobilityCare

Send copies of the email and all other documents.

I had four credits added this month! Not sure if going forward my bill will be correct but if not, I will keep calling until the phone is paid off. Then will shop around for another provider that follows through with what it promises!

Seeing that I am not the only one with this problem and that some have found a solution, makes me have a little hope. I have paid 7 installments plans! that's almost $200!!!

i have tried every suggestion on this forum... and still not luck 😞

After I called AT&T they were able to find my lost phone. I have been credited for all my payments. Thank you AT&T.

Our family got  2 Iphone 7 and one iPhone 7 +. It's 9 month already, still did not money back. We were with AT&T for many years before. Probably, we need to take legal actions, not sure what else can we do to get our money back.

You just have to bug them to death. I either called or did the online chat every month Sept- April. They manually credited me when I called but some calls were long and I had to ask to talk to a manager. Also some reps were rude and misinformed so I learned to hang up on those and try back. AT&T must have some US call centers because I would often get a perfectly nice American agent I could understand. The foreign ones were usually rude, unwilling to help and difficult so I hung up on them and called back. I also made notes of names and what they promised me so I could report back the next time I called. Finally the credit started coming on its own a few months ago. It has been much more difficult than it should have been and I know plenty of people would likely give up. Maybe that's what AT&T wants but they are losing customers along the way. You shouldn't have to fight for something you were promised.
