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

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?
What mattered was that the imei was correct.
I too, am on Simple Choice Unlmtd Data plan (upgraded over the Summer). I've tried with 2 Tmo reps and the Membership Wireless rep at Costco with no luck on getting a unique code to get this promo in effect for OUR account.
Some key points from our conversation:
-Simple Choice IS generally excluded for now. You may or may not get an exception through an authorized person at Tmobile for this. YMMV (by a lot, I kept trying. And it was a no go)
- Their newer systems now take Codes to take advantage of offers. If you've been around Tmo long enough you know in the past promotions were a mess. Every call to 611 had a different version conversation on your promotion. What used to be just "notes on the account" is a thing of the past.
-You need a token number that authorizes the changes to the account so you reflect that you took advantage of this offer. This allows them to play around with lines, phones, etc.
-The reason SC is excluded is because they want to focus on New Customers/Magenta One plans. They're prioritizing this promotion for that market.
-Lastly, he told me to "Be patient, they don't want to exclude current and loyal customers either, BF and Holiday deals are coming which will be better"
In all, its a business. They're in the business of making money and building customers every chance they get. While it sucks to dangle these bomb looking promos to new or newer customers first, eventually they get around to longer term customers. The rep was upfront in telling me they're in the business of keeping customers not just people taking these offers and jumping ship.
Take what I said for what its worth..
Turns out the it's the "manager" who did the transaction.
"Easy enough"... well, hope that's the case. Apparently the standards can be quite different...

I'm really curious how many TMo's phone net adds come from people who wants nice phones while the line isn't really used.

Sweet deals happen a few times a year. But this deal has the capacity to take advantage of 4 phone per account vs the past ones were only 1 per account.

This time on this promo its a much lower amount but max 4 per account. So I would say some people who want/ need more phones this is a great deal. Last year I was able to get the Xs and a few weeks later a friend on my plan also wanted in, but couldn't due to the limit.
I'm holding out till BF and hoping something similar to last year comes by
