Yes, after the Costco associate takes out the phone, grab it and run out the store with it. If you are fast enough, this will work...
READ FOLKS

READ

Most of the questions asked here are either in the promotion posting, or are just stupid. Read before posting.

The document tells you which items will be accepted for trade. You can NOT do a IP6, or SE, or Samsung, etc.

It really does not matter how much they give you for the trade. The total rebate you will get will total $580.

Yes, this promotion is for people adding T-Mobile new lines. Duh! Think!

Simple math tells you that trading in an XS or XR is probably not going to make sense in most cases. So, if then don't. Duh!

Nobody has asked yet, but yes the phone must be paid for. And yes it must work. And yes it must not be broken. Duh!

And yes, you must have a Costco card to pay for the phone.

How much does ___ cost at Costco? Easy - go to the website. Prices are listed.
iPhone 8 through Apple gets you $220
iPhone XS through Apple gets you $500

iPhone 8 through this Costco deal gets you $580
iPhone XS through this Costco deal gets you $580

No it isnt. Why are you making up stuff?
With one of the previous t mobile rebate deals, I put the sim card on another device and they rejected the rebate card since the evaluation team figured the line was not active on the device they sold. Apparently that's one of the conditions along with "keep the account in good standing" and some others.
Since this deal is with Costco, that might not be the case but I wouldn't risk it.

Now I am not getting into this deal should I still get the iPhone 6s*for the potential next bf deals? It is $80
Nope. Every year they jump one model up. What you see as the lowest trade in will be the last year you could trade that in

Please refer to the attachment for the cost breakup, I hope this helps.

iPhone 11 = $319.00
iPhone 11 Pro = $643.00
iPhone 11 Pro Max = $751.00

Note:
1. The phone can be unlocked after 40 Days (1st Month bill should be Paid Completely).
2. Even you can cancel the line after 40 Days (i.e. once you get the rebate and also the phone is unlocked), the only caveat is, you may have a hard time jumping on the Costco Promotion next time. Some said, they were able to jump even after cancelling after 40 days, so if you think it's worth taking a risk to save around $50-$70, then please go ahead.
If I'm not mistaken, tmobile charges the full month.
AT least that's what they told me when I canceled lines from the XR promo.
They said it didn't matter if I canceled half way through the billing period, that I would be charged for the full month.

I'm considering doing this but some of the things y'all have said have me worried. I am a current T-Mobile customer. I would be adding a line to get this and then cancelling that line when the rebate comes.

Some comments say they review line activity and if they don't see the new SIM active in the new phone using the new line they won't pay out the rebate... Is this true? Could I really not transfer my current SIM over for 60-90 days while I wait for them to approve the rebate?

Should I trade in my iPhone 6s 128gb or iPhone 7 32gb?
Go for 6s, since when they come up with new promotion they might start with IPhone 7 and above trade ins

T-Mobile is the one with the promo. Go to their website and you'll find the exact same deal.

The difference is going to T-Mobile is credits and you're financing the phone over a 24 month period.

Costco and T-Mobile allows the phone to be bought outright, may have a warehouse incentive (Costco member discount on phone, a possible Costco cash card, phone accessories, etc).

Buying the phone outright means you own it since it's "paid off" hence the reason why people wait for the rebate card to arrive to cancel the line so they can't "take back" the rebate card if it's already in possession by the buyer.

PS I'd be curious if you can buy the phone outright from T-Mobile store and receive the same card. Only difference is you might not receive the same incentives vs buying at Costco warehouse.

people have still received the rebate even when switching sims.
I'd at least make a few calls so that it registers with the network, but that's just me.
