Can't order a new phone, trade-in tied to a canceled order.

Hello, I’m unable to complete the trade-in for my old phone when I order a new phone. I believe it’s because the trade-in is associated with a canceled order. How can I get this resolved?  I have called, chatted and went to the store.  Is there someone that can help?

Edit 09/23/2025:

Since there has been no response by Xfinity to our post, and no one at the store on the phone or chat can fix or escalate this issue, we filed a complaint with the FCC. Xfinity can't hold this phone hostage because you failed to account for the instance where an order is cancelled!

I reached out in the r/Comcast_Xfinity  Reddit forum and we currently have a internal support ticket open and we have a direct contact at Xfinity to get this issue resolved.

It has been two days and the internal support team hasn't resolved the problem. Any ideas?

My wife did a google search and the ultimate fix was to use the IMEI2 for the old phone when placing the order. We had to do this since the promotion ends tomorrow and your support team was unable to provide a timely fix. So none of your replies here or on Reddit is the accepted answer. Google for the win.
