it's a $650 bill credit paid out every month on your bill. if you cancel service i think you need to pay the balance on both phones

So how exactly does this work? Can you pay off the remaining balance immediately and accept your monthly bill credit for 24 months so it cancels itself out on the bill?

That's what my lady did with the promotion offered last year, though last year it was a 'AT&T will buy your current phone for $650 in 24 month credit installments' deal. She paid the remaining balance (which was $200) which dropped the monthly to $27, which is exactly what the monthly installment credit was so it cancels itself out on the bill every month.

I guess I'm just confused with how the monthly will work. $650 equates to $27/month over 24 months, so had she not paid off the remaining balance of the phone she got it would have been $34/month or something like that. Well, since this deal is taking two phones from the floor, how will that work?

Nope. You lose the credit if you pay off or upgrade.

Last year, if she hadn't paid off the balance, that would've been $27/mo that she'll be paying. With the credit, she ended up paying $0/mo ($27 monthly installment - $27 credit). However, she has to keep that for 24 months or she loses the credit. If you upgrade this year, you will add the full installment amount to your bill.
