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

I was there at Avon yesterday, the manager called all stores around and found none.
Not sure what you're talking about. I went to the Avon store last night at around 7pm and they were selling the 11 a few folks on T-Mobile. I was looking for the pro but they only have the max.

During a conversation with a T-mobile Rebate CSR, I was told you need to as a bare minimum to turn on the device and SIM so it registers on the T-mobile network. Then do whatever you want as long as you don't cancel the line.

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.

They messed up, call wireless and they should be able to redo and email it out. I got my return labels today
Update: I returned to Costco and insisted to them that they need to get the IMEI of my trade-in device in my case my iphone 6s. They didn't believe me and told me to wait for the email that they will send in a couple of days after I followed the instructions on the paperwork. Went on a different Costco and told them about the situation. They called the Costco where I bought my phone that they have to get my IMEI and initiate the trade in. They can't even look at me in the eye once I returned there for the 3rd time cause they messed up. They printed the return label in the end. So they're doing this deal for the whole day and have no idea what they are doing before I corrected them. Smh. Talking about being disappointed instead of being excited for a new phone.

Just got the three phones fully paid taking advantage of 10% discount on retail price. Each one costed $629.99 + Tax.

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?

I have two iphone 6s plus. does it mean I will get 2x$580=$1160 rebate by adding two new lines into my new account(currently I have no tmobile account)? must those iphone 6s for trade in be unlocked to be eligible?

I was a T-Mobile customer on Nov. 1. Ported to Sprint on Nov. 2. Can I port back into tmobile for this offer? all the post says is "If you have canceled voice lines in past 90 days, reactivate them first."

some new info to share:
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.

once we get this 580$ Virtual card - where can it be used quickly? since its valid for 6 months?

I talked to rep - he told me lock/unlock doesnt make difference. If broken it should not show from outside Smilie

Any idea if we can we buy the Iphone with monthly installment payments ? or do we have to pay the whole amount in once ? thinking of getting 2 iphone 11 max pro ? almost 3K - crazy to pay for a phone
Crazy to think financing that amount is something that you should be doing at all.

No Costco Tmobile deals like this one have no financing. If you finance then they ship the phone and you are not eligible.

You ship the phone out to another company and they will do the inspection. If there is any doubt the trade in inspection will not pass reconsider this deal.

Being a TMobile One account I was not qualified for the promotion. However, after speaking with the rep, a regional senior manager stepped in and was able to get me a free iPhone XR credited within 3 months without any trade-in at all. All I have is to open a new line and after 3 months the phone is mine.
I guess being a customer with them for 15 years paid off.

I guess I forgot to mention that I was speaking with T-Mobile rep and not Costco rep.
And yeah it was the luck of draw that regional manager overheard our conversation.
