Rough Math
Example 1: Single line w/ used 6s+port in
Assume iPhone 6s trade in and port in your number that has a current monthly rate of $30/month, Further assume you only have a single line
you essentially will spend net $170 and gave up (trade in) that iPhone 6s, but get an iPhone 11 after three months at T-Mobile (Magenta, $70/month). More line will result in better saving. Detailed calculation is elaborated in this post:
https://slickdeals.net/forums/showpost.php?p=
Example 2: Buy and sell
$ 560 - 4 used Iphones 6s ($140) from Amazon
$ 420 - 3 Months of Magenta Plan for 4 lines ($140 w/ 3rd line free)
$2750 - 4 Iphones 11 64 GB inc tax ($687.5. $630 if no tax)
______
$3730 Out of pocket (Sum above)
-2320 Rebates ($580x4)
-2000 Sell 4 Iphones 11, 3 months later ($500 after seller fee)
= $ 590 Profit
$80 Iphone 6S from TotalWireless https://shop.totalwirel

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 XS through Apple gets you $500
iPhone 8 through this Costco deal gets you $580
iPhone XS through this Costco deal gets you $580

I made the mistake of putting aside a sealed phone that was never opened and the rebate got rejected. They were not able to get it approved and just credited the rebate amount to my account.
I was informed by the rep that if I can cancel the line after 90 days, T-mobile would charge me for the rebate. How accurate is this statement?

1. I chose to port in from H2O. Despite everything went smoothly, right now, I still can't have it ported in. The iPhone 11 does find T-mobile network, but I can't call through, always re-direct me to the T Mobile customer service. Was told there that I have to wait 24 hours before they can "activate the account", which I had thought was done at Costco.
2. My local costco associate was not genuine. Thanks to myself who read through all the documents. WITHOUT my authorization, he added Magenta Plus plan ($80/month) instead of Magenta plan ($70/month) and added "T-Mobile Protection 360 Tier 5" ($15/month). Believe me, I never ever mention even the word "Magenta Plus", but told him the $70 magenta plan and I have zero knowledge on that protection plan and of course would never ask for that. So READ YOUR DOCUMENTS, people, particularly "Service Terms" page where they estimate your monthly charge! I talked with T Mobile, they said that they can make the change but only after my account is fully activated, namely, in 24 hours.
For those who asked the offer terms and proof of No-activation fee, attached are my scanned document and the generic T-Mobile booklet found at Costco. The no activation fee looks associated with costco.
I talked to rep - he told me lock/unlock doesnt make difference. If broken it should not show from outside
No Costco Tmobile deals like this one have no financing. If you finance then they ship the phone and you are not eligible.

I guess being a customer with them for 15 years paid off.
