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

Thanks. Why should it invalidate the rebate as I am only submitting rebate for 4 lines?
I hope you found the answer for this. If not, I'll try to explain. I'm not 100% so check with support.
You cannot have a cancelled line on your plan in the last 90 days. This is the requirement to qualify for the rebate. This is to prevent people from cancelling current line and adding new line for a new device on a discount.

yes, but you'll usually need to reactivate the canceled line if you try to get another deal like this within 90 days of cancellation.

all plans should qualify. for simple choice the costco rep has to call t-mobile with a "token" code to add the line as their system doesn't allow it.
Any deals for 11Pro unlocked?

Thanks. I will check with T-mobile regarding this. Can i do this? Do not submit rebate for the fifth mobile and then once I receive the rebate card for other 4 devices. I can return the 5th phone to Costco as it will be with in 90 days policy.

My AT&T Bill resets today - can I port the old number later on and have two services and phones for the first month? Stinks I didn't catch this earlier. Have to pay another $90 to AT&T! Or any other solutions?

Can be network locked. Can't be iCloud locked.

To be specific, they did take my Costco card because they needed the membership number during the purchase process of the phones.

That being said, I don't know if the name of the Costco card holder and the T-Mobile account holder has to be the same. I doubt it.
It shouldn't matter. I went with my Costco card and signed up for a new line using a friends tmobile account. I still got my rebate. I was worried I wouldn't get it.

Does it makes sense to buy a used 6s for $180 and trade in??
That sounds expensive but I guess if it's your only option, go for it. Be sure to fully inspect the phone. Take out the SIM card holder, shine some light in it and be sure that the white sticker is not a different color...that means it has water damage

If you have to open up a new account with 1 line, the deal is not good. Cheapest line would be $60. Multiply that by at the very least 2 months. (3 if the rebate takes longer). The decision is up to you. Oh yea, and you have to buy a 6s

Just add a line Nov 1, signed up for 125 costco prepaid card. Can I go back to do this? would 125 prepaid card combine?




When you byod for 125 costco prepaid card, did they print out paperwork for submission of rebate? Does paperwork specifies which postpaid plans are valid for the GC? I want to activate byod but then move it to lowest cost plan.


I have also heard that this rebate is very difficult to get and you have to wait 3-4 months to get this so cannot cancel the plan.


when i try accessing Mypromochoice.com\Costco : the url doesnt comeup, but T&C in costco said we need to goto this site to submit rebates

Chaos. Can you answer this for me.

Friday I posted my situation. I have two 6splus phones one is being used and one isn't. . I need two new phones since these are old. I plan on adding a line for my son and trading in the not used iPhone 6splus since I actually need a line for him anyways. But for me I use my iPhone 6splus and want to upgrade it wit this promo. So how do I do that. I have read this whole thread and I get a bit lost on this. So can you spell this out for me.

Since I think you can do this up to 4 times on this promo. I think I am suppose to open up another after I open up my sons lline that I never plan to keep. Trade in my current phone that I use. And in a few months once I get the gift card cancel the new line. I will be out the cost of the line but will have gotten a new phone and major value for my 6splus. Is this right?

One last thing. You said and others did too that they swapped out the sim from their current phone to the new one and still got the rebate even though Costco says you may lose the rebate. So in my case I would be swapping out my sim into new phone. While old sim sits on the desk till I can cancel and hope I don't have an issue. And then ultimately the cost of this phone is whatever the costs is minus the months i paid for a line I didn't need. Is this correct?

Here's what I would do.
Open up two new lines under your current account at the same time.
How much is an each extra line on your account?
Once you get the 11's, be sure you at least make some test calls, use data (not wifi) with the new sim. Swap your old sim to the iPhone 11 and send out both iPhone 6s plus.
Once you get the rebate, cancel the line.
