Lied to about promotion

On December 4, 2022, I went to my local T-mobile store looking for promotion deals to see if I could get a trade-in upgrade for my wife’s phone.  After talking to one of the employees about their current deals, they employee promised me that if I switch from my current plan Magenta to Magenta MAX that I would get a $800 trade-in credit towards an Iphone 14.  I told her it is a great deal and was baited into switching my phone plan. She made the switch official that day (Dec 4, 2022) and told me to come back on December 6, 2022 to make the trade-in because the plan swap would not be effective until then.  When I arrived 2 days later on the 6th, I was told that there were no such deal by another employee and the current plan they currently offer is a $400 trade-in credit. 

 

Long story short, I end up reverting my plan back to Magenta and was charged for the Magenta MAX plan although I only had it for 2 days.  Next time before making a switch, I would ask for a written contract. This is absolutely unacceptance and no one should be charged $40 more due to incompetent employees/false promotions.
