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

port In isn't mandatory, But I do not want to pay both H2O and tmobile for three months
Sorry, my wording was off. Meant to say that you can port in a number or ask for a new number. Edited my post.

Quote from Edwardxi :
When I opened my 9th line last time, the same thing happened. The guy at Costco had to call somebody else to make some changes to my plan. But, eventually, I was able to add the 9th line.
Now this time, Costco guy called CS and later told me I could open another account with Tmo, but $75/mo for the plan.
I said no of course... I can just cancel 2 lines and come back 3 months later, but I will miss all the BF deals..
This is very strange. The original T-Mobile One plan with a price of $270 had 9 lines. It wasn't until you add the 10th line that they had an additional $30 per line charge.

I have 8 lines, paying $160 a month, getting Magenta plan will double my bill to approximately $300/month.
Damn...160 for 8 lines? What plan is this?

For people who bought their iPhone 11s - did you have to submit online for the rebate? The guy at costco gave me a "costco 2019 iphone activate trade save promotion" sheet. When I followed those directions at t-mobile.com/promotions it said that the IMEI wasn't valid. Then I called T-Mobile and they said that costco submits the rebate request. Can anyone confirm?

What activation fees? There is no activation on T-Mobile at Costco. Does your paperwork show any fees?
Returning phone shouldn't be an issue but canceling the 5 th line might invalidate the rebates. Check with customer support

Yes. It worked. I had purchased it in the morning but did not get a chance to submit till the late afternoon. so you might need to wait a few hours before it get registered.
Another issue I have seen at last year promotion is the t-mobile kiosk rep had a typo when entering in the system which screwed it up.

I did the iPhone Xs promo back in March, and ported out the new line to H20 on Sept 15th. I have an iPhone 6s lying around, and was wondering if I can take advantage of this promo? I think some have said the ported out line had to be reactivated. Wondering if that's true, and if so, how do I reactivate the line if its been ported to H20 (which I never used and assume the account just closed).

I have T-mobile One Plan. Is Magenta the newest?
Yes magenta and magenta plus.

For those who need to open new accounts, the cheapest way is to open 3-4 new lines with $125 Boyd Costco cash card. That should pay for 3 months service. Additional lines will be $20 per month.

My Costco rep insisted that they don't process the trade in. Sigh, guess I'm heading back to Costco and hoping someone else is there. I already bought the phones and activated the lines, so I presume this just f**d up my account.

Thanks. Why should it invalidate the rebate as I am only submitting rebate for 4 lines?

sounds like simple choice
Mine started with 2.5gb per line several years ago.
Recently they updated my lines to 4gb.
As of late, SOME users have been upgraded to Unlimited data free of charge. None of mine are unlimited.
