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

Went to a Tampa ay area Costco to get the hang of this promo directly from the Wireless Reps.. The girl was clueless about the plans prices.. She didn't know about 55+ at $50 plan the guy knew but was extremely busy and didn't pay much attention to my Qs..

He said they only had the 64GB iphone 11 in stock either black or white but one thing that raised a Flag for me was that the girl said they DO NOT enter the IMEI of the traded phone ANYWHERE in the process.. WE have to go to the TMO Site and get that information in and mail the phone using a CODE!

Does that make any sense or is it you guys experience in the process??

I don't want to be denied the rebate because they didn't enter my trade in info on the TMO System.. leaving this up to me ..

More details on this would be appreciated as I don't have the iphone 6s at hand yet to proceed.. I just want to make sure these reps don't screw my rebate ( GC)

Also, they said that another PROMO for the iphones will probably follow this one.. maybe better as far as the rebate on TMO?

Oh, Also they said there's an activation fee because they sell the iphone 11 -64gb discounted by $50 compared to the apple store for example-- She pointed at $699 for the phone at Costco
When I took advantage of this deal yesterday, the rep asked for my IMEIs near the end of the process (took roughly 45 min - 1 hour from start to finish), though I'm not certain if that's the natural process that they're prompted when completing a trade in or if he knew separately that he was supposed to initiate it. The trade-in of the physical phone itself isn't at the Costco Warehouse. You complete the trade in process after by going to https://www.t-mobile.com/rebates and using the promo code COSTCO2019APPLETRADE.

Thanks for the info!! I will not proceed if that step isn't taken..I'll probably go to another Store for this tho.. That girl was clueless.

Technically, yes you have to enter the promo code when doing the rebate. But they have to initiate the trade in process on their end.
But because I've read it here that the trade in IMEI is important to be entered in the process at Costco the REP I talked to said they don't take that info.. I won't accept that and go to another Store if they don't include the IMEI of the phone I'm bringing in for the Trade

They didn't charge me one. Also, I think there was a flyer at the kiosk that said they don't charge SIM or activation fees for T-Mobile, so I think your rep really didn't know what she was talking about.

Just got back from Costco, was told I'm not qualified unless I'm on T-Mobile Magenta (unlimited data plan)
I have 8 lines, paying $160 a month, getting Magenta plan will double my bill to approximately $300/month.

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
Yes and No, instant credit is, once they get your trade in device, they will adjust $36 or whatever is Trade in device value against the T-Mobile Bill and remaining you get as Gift card....so in-short, you get advantage of $580, some in form of bill adjustment and remaining as gift card.

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?
I am also looking for simple choice plan, please let me know if you get any updates
