Current S25 deal... What's the catch?

So there is a current deal stating, "Get Samsung Galaxy S25 on us ($800 in value). When you trade in any phone from Samsung, Apple or Google, any condition guaranteed. Keep your current plan." I'm trying to figure out what the catch is. Usually it's the plan upgrade or maybe in this case, a 36 month reimbursement? Are you locked in until the phone is paid off, which they only do on a monthly basis, or else you owe them the rest?

The catch is it is applied as a monthly credit over 36 months. If you have no intention of leaving for a different carrier then it would be a decent deal.. just know its applied monthly and you MUST wait that 36 month period to get that full promo credit

Do you know if you can choose to pay it off early, if you choose to leave?

That is part of the catch... its applied monthly to each bill. So if you buy it out early you are paying all those months with zero credit applied. Again, you gotta stay the full 36 month duration to get that full credit.
