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

Not correct.
There is no provision to returning a digital Visa card.

Hi All,

I am a new user but I swear this question was never discussed -- not in last 2 year's promotion either. If the TMobile plan is under my wife's name, but the Costco membership is under my name, can I buy the phone in store, add the line to the plan, and still get the rebate?

I know it's easiest for her to open a Costco member, but she's out of country and won't be back for a while ...

thanks,
Yes, if you have your wife's info.

I read the top post saying in bold red: Simple Choice Plans are excluded. But I saw another post that said the salesperson at Costco called Tmobile and allowed this deal for a Simple Choice Plan (I can't find the post anymore). Can anyone else confirm they have done this deal with a Simple Choice Plan in store?

Also you shouldn't ask all these questions to Costco reps...They will never want customer to close the line and loose commissions.

I have jumped on this deal last year, I ported out my number exactly on 91st day. No one ever contacted me to return any rebate.

I am a bit lost. We are on simple choice and I don't want to let that go BUT that account isn't in my name.

So, if I open a new line (~120 for 2 months service), buy a used 6s (~100 -120). I can get 580-240 = 340 off a new iPhone.

Is my math roughly correct?
Also, does it make sense to open a new line to get this deal? Does TMobile do a hard credit pull?

I did call the local costco about this. They said they would be happy to order me a phone, but then when I said I'd be replacing my iphone 6s, they said I'd get about $100 NOT the 580. We both referred to our marketing materials, and it even said Up to $580.

So, that being said, is he right, or when do you get the official terms and conditions of the offer?

If I order my phone now, but have to come back to activate, do I make sure I have to do so by 11/7? Would it actually come in before then?

I have a iphone 6s working well no screen deficiency, however 2 years back I dropped the phone in the pool and I dried it out and using it on daily basis since then. So, who makes the decision of accepting or rejecting the trade in? Store representative at the time of order or someone else come and tell me after 2 weeks that my phone is not eligible?

I must be missing something obvious on this deal.
Apple gives up to $600 trade-in value https://www.apple.com/shop/trade-in

How is this better and/or different?

Thank you
You won't get 600 for trade in an iPhone 6s

Someone mentioned that they traded their iPhone 6s and got $36 instant trade in credit and remaining ($580-$36) will come in the form of master card at a later date. I am not 100% but it seems that how this works

Believe it or not...I was initially told that I could add 12 lines in my T-Mo One family and last night after spending 1 hr in Costco, they couldn't add even then 9th line and I too came empty handed!
They (Cust Care) are saying they can't enable since T-Mo One is now considered "Grandfathered" plan and I have to upgrade to Magenta but then I'll lose all my buy1-get1 line promo and other promos...damn T-Mo !!!
I have heard many reports of going to five lines from four, nine from eight requiring plan changes for One. Good thing I was at five yesterday and managed to add three lines, but that was the max the system would allow.

What are people getting the iPhone 11 and xs? Anyone jumping or waiting on an iPhone 11 pro or 11 pro Max? I don't see any reductions for those. Any recommendations?

Depends on the rep. The one I had guided me through the cancellation process and showed me the hoops to maximize this deal.

For those looking, Costco in Norwalk CT had the 11 pro max when I went in at noon. I didn't ask about storage or color since I don't want the max
