Costco In-Store Offer: T-Mobile Samsung Note 9 + Up to $500 Trade-In Credit Expired

Trade In Value Guarantee?

Did a chat with T-mobile and this was their reply.

Victoria at 11:11, Aug 20: Let's check it out! If you're doing a trade in directly in the store and turn it in, then the trade in value would be applied immediately and we would ship the phone back for you. If you're ordering online or doing a pre-order, you would ship the phone back when you receive the new one, and then we would inspect the phone when it arrives at our warehouse. If the store looks at the phone for you first though, they can notate on the account if the wear and tear on it is okay!

Costco Pre-Order Details

Each Costco has three (3) Pre-Order slots per carrier.

You will receive a printed confirmation sheet and an emailed confirmation. The printed version may be required for the Samsung promotion.

NO Payment is due until the device is picked up.

Total Cost Breakdown before Tax:
$1000(Total) - $50 (Costco Discount) = $950
$950 - $500 (Trade In) = $450.

Trade-In offer is valid starting 8\24. The day you actually receive the device. The promo page specifically says that Pre-orders are eligible.

This offer is not eligible for the accessory power pack or the $25 gift card. That is through Coscto.com only.

Quote from Wolf1e : Use this to figure out the total you will be paying for the phone. [google.com] Note: $450 + ($949.99x.1) Where you see the ".1" in the search bar at the link above, change it to your corresponding TAX rate, I used 10% for CA / Bay Area as a general point of reference. If yo want to get accurate, change it to 9% (.09), 9.5% (.095) or whatever your rate is.. Hope that helps.
