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

6s and 11 physical sim both has the same Nano sim no? I believe Apple has been using Nano sim from iPhone 5
All iphones since the iphone5 have used the nano SIM.

Info direct from Apple: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202645


Quote from STRFSH :
Last year I could not use the sim of my old 6s on my new XS max. Different size.
Not sure what to think of your statement given that Apple says the opposite. That and I was able to park the new nano SIM from my XS last year in an old iphone 5s just fine after putting the nano SIM from my iphone 7 into my new XS since I was trading in the 7? Are you suggesting the 6s had a different SIM than the iphone models before it and after it? That seems a bit odd, no?

Im already on T-Mo and dont know anyone who would wanna port in, I dont mind 3 months for an extra line but whats the cheapest option to get a number to be ported out.

Can I port out my Google Voice and avail this offer? Or do I need to get some other service before I port it out?

As SIM can only go in one way some people must have problems putting it in correctly and think it does not fit.

Not sure why you'd be porting anything in if you're already on T-Mobile?

I may be unclear on your ask here -- you should be able to pretty simply cancel the extra TMO line after you get your rebate. I seem to remember doing so from the website with no trouble, but I could be misremembering.

Otherwise if you want to cancel the extra line by porting it out, NumberBarn is an inexpensive service to do that with. Then you cancel the line at NumberBard pretty simply.

Is it possible to cancel an existing line (not promotion locked) and reactivate it using this promotion? The past 90 day cancelation line language is a bit confusing.
huh?
No.

If you cancel a line, you have to REACTIVATE AND add a new line in order to get this promo.

How to know if rep created regular trade-in or promo trade-in?
they should have printed a sheet with 3 parts to it.
1: your copy
2: copy that gets sent along with the trade in
3: shipping label

parts 1 and 2 have the imei number of your phone and the trade details.

you don't have to port.

You can simply open up a new line (no port needed)

If you really want to port, yes, google voice is cheap, $3

Below is my thinking. No guarantee it is right:
I think what you described is the exact reason why they put 90 days limit there. They want to attract real new customers, no old customers who temporarily cancel an existing line and then re-appear it as a new line to qualify the promotion. So if you have cancelled a line in the past 90 days with the expectation of jumping on a big deal during the holiday season, they ask you to restore that line first before talking about a new line; otherwise, they won't regard you are really adding a "new line".

I think you are confused.
The 6s and xs max SIM cards on the same size.
I have an Xr and the SIM card tray is 'backwards'. Maybe that's where the confusion is.

Not on t-mobile AFAIK. Sams club has a promo with Verizon/Sprint/AT&T on Saturday in-store. See https://slickdeals.net/f/13484332-sam-s-club-one-day-sale-11-9-get-up-to-400-sam-s-club-gc-with-iphone-purchase-plus-get-an-additional-250-gc-with-select-trade-in?t=13484332

That said - depending on the plan you're on, adding a line for a couple months then cancelling it still leaves you in a pretty good position.

Though I think the 6 is too old to trade in on the current promo.

Nope.
Sell your iPhone 6 on Craigs and use that money to buy the 11.

i'm filling out my rebate papers for 4 phones... i just noticed a small error...

on my ship label papers, one of my iphones are listed as the wrong memory size. all the info of IMEI is correct, but it says 16GB and should be 64GB.

is this something to worry of, or not a issue since the IMEI and everything else is correct?

I have a SimpleChoice plan....can I keep it if I take this deal? Or would I be forced to upgrade to a Magenta plan (which I'm not going to do)?
I was denied with simple choice plan . They say this is applicable only for newer plans starting TMobile one , magenta and so on
