Save $500 when you trade an iPhone XS 64GB/256GB

It's the same deal T-Mobile is running, but the trade-in credit comes on a virtual rebate card instead of 24 monthly bill credits

details: https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-36393



How do I get this offer in Costco Warehouse?

You must purchase an Apple iPhone 11, 11 Pro, or 11 Pro Max at full retail price and need to:
  • have, or activate, at least one voice line per device purchase
  • apply for the rebate at: https://t-mobile.com/promotions using promo code COSTCOAPPLE11TRADE
  • mail your trade-in device within 30 days of the shipping date of the new device
Eligible customers will receive a one-time bill credit for the value of their trade-in and will receive the remainder of the promotional value via Virtual Express Prepaid Mastercard within 8 weeks


Is there a limit to how many times I can take advantage of the promotion?
Yes. You can get up to 12 discounted devices per account. To qualify for 12 discounted devices, you need to meet the offer requirements for each line that is participating.


I upgraded last year and took advantage of the "free upgrade" iPhone offer. Can I take advantage of this year's offer?
Yes. But only fully paid-off devices are eligible for trade-in and you are only able to have one open EIP plan receiving promotional credits.
If you purchase something through a post on our site, Slickdeals may get a small share of the sale.

Attention: After talking with T-Mobile Social Media team, unfortunately employees and Business customers can't take advantage of this deal, if you want change, message John Legere before the 20th.

Promotion is current not available for:
http://Costco.com
Costco Direct Delivery
No Credit Accounts
Prepaid
T-Mobile employees
T-Mobile for Business


Trade in guidelines:
Can be carrier locked
Can NOT be iCloud locked
Can NOT have cracked screen
Must power on
You will need to give the IMEI number of the phone when doing the deal in store, you will mail in the phone later.

Important: Costco is NOT offering the iPhone 11 / 11 Pro / 11 Pro Max in all colors and sizes. See this internal Costco inventory image. (thanks swtvtboi2!) For example, Midnight Green for iPhone 11 Pro / Pro Max is NOT available! Here are all the colors and sizes available (copied from image for easier readability):
  • iPhone 11 64GB - Black
  • iPhone 11 64GB - Red
  • iPhone 11 64GB - White
  • iPhone 11 128GB - Black
  • iPhone 11 128GB - White
  • iPhone 11 Pro 64GB - Space Grey
  • iPhone 11 Pro 64GB - Gold
  • iPhone 11 Pro 256GB - Space Grey
  • iPhone 11 Pro Max 64GB - Space Grey
  • iPhone 11 Pro Max 64GB - Gold
  • iPhone 11 Pro Max 256GB - Space Grey

Also, based on the above linked image, Costco is doing a $50 discount on ALL iPhone 11 models (iPhone 11 starts at $650, 11 Pro starts at $950 and 11 Pro Max starts at $1050.
Important note: usually only 64GB versions are available in store with $50 discount, other versions will likely be shipped to you directly by T-Mobile for the full price, but you will get a $30 Costco card instead. Most important, in the latter case you will not get the gift card for your trade-in, you will get your rebate via installments over 24 months period just like if you would buy it at T-Mobile.

THIS PROMO HAS ENDED on 10/3.



Note: This is NOT a pre-order situation, you must wait until September 20th. Please see the T-Mobile FAQ: [t-mobile.com]

What if I bought my new iPhone at a Costco Warehouse? Can I still get this promotion?

Starting September 13, 2019, for a limited time, new and existing customers who purchase an iPhone XR, XS, or XS Max at Full Retail Price in a Costco Warehouse can save up to $550 via a one-time trade-in bill credit and rebate card when you trade-in an eligible iPhone:

When will Costco and Military locations have the new iPhones? And will I be able to get this offer with the new devices?

Starting September 20, 2019, new and existing customers that purchase any version of iPhone 11, 11 Pro, and 11 Pro Max will be able to redeem this offer.

Unlock Iphone 11 Policy:

The device must have been active on the T-Mobile network for at least 40 days on the requesting line.

The best way to maximize the savings is to trade-in your iPhone 7. It's a good deal if you were about to buy iPhone 11 and eager to get one. Otherwise, you are not saving much considering the trade-in phone itself is worth at least $150. Basically, you are getting iPhone 11/Pro -$200 + tax. Costco rebate is the best route to take to avoid silly 24-months contract with TM. As much as I love TM, I have a feeling that it's gonna become another evil company like AT&T/Verizon after the merger completes.
On the side note, regular iPhone 11 for $699 is a great deal, Apple nailed the pricing with it!

I don't understand. Don't you have you to get the contract for the deal?

Not with Costco ( it's rebate card, no fees and often cheaper than TM direct ). With T-Mobile directly, you pay upgrade fees and bil credits for two years.

I don't see the better deal through Apple. Can someone share the math behind why Apple trade in is better assuming you are trading in an IPhone 7?
