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

This deal would be amazing and I'd jump on it if I could only get the 128gb size. Am I silly (with a 6S) for not just giving in and getting the 64gb here? What's the likelihood that there will be another similar deal someplace else with the 128gb anytime soon? I'm okay with waiting a month.
64gb vs 128gb depends on what *your* needs are. For me a 64GB phone is plenty - I have everything on my 64gb XS that I want on it and still have over 14GB available. So for me 128GB would be a total waste.

The Costco deals for T-Mobile have the advantage of a lump-sum payout instead of being spread over two years. That lets you drop the additional line you don't need.

... but that only applies if you buy an in-stock phone. And stock on the higher-than-base memory configurations tends to be less in general.

So best to first spend time on whether you need 128 or if 64 would be fine.

Where does it state that u can only get 64GB? I've been reading the flyer uploaded to this post and can't parse that info anywhere. Inagree, 64 is really limited considering the bigger sizes of photos/videos out of the better cameras on iphone 11. My almost 2 year old iphone x is now 143 of 256 GB and prolly only 25% of that is photos (im prolly average in camera usage)
Though it's not written anywhere, but Costco doesn't sell above 64GB.

With Costco, you get very good deals, but at cost of selection. They have very limited colour options and memory.

On launch day, I bought a 128gb iPhone 11 black from my local Costco. They usually don't carry much stock though.

Yes, last year they were doling out $750 for a new line and trade in. Max of 1 per offer per account. You could do 1 each in each offer period.
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 Smilie
I'm quite amazed they had a four limit in this promo. It will encourage a lot of churners from other carriers though.

Got it. It's not an option to say have a not in store item shipped?

They had Iphone ProMax 256 in Nashua, NH. I just don't think they have a lot of stock. I got white iphone but wanted a black one ideally.

They will order what you want.

but you lose the discount off of retail and your rebate will be spread out over two years instead of lump sum.

Apologize if I was unclear. Promo is valid on models above 64gb but very few stores actually sell those in store and if you have them order for you, the $580 is spread out fully as bill credits. It's okay if you are sticking with T-Mobile for the long term but I have no interest in doing so.

I called my local Costco and was told they don't have iphone xr or xs, only iphone 11 64 gb. In this situation, will they get xr or xs back in stock by Thursday? Or the only choice will be 11?

doubt anyone can really answer that with anything but a guess.

maybe they won't
maybe they will
maybe they will and other folks will get there ahead of you and buy them up

all that said, there's also the chance the promo will roll over and be extended a week. we'll all find out the morning of the 8th.

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?
I assume you mean port into Tmobile. You could use your google, or just get a new line. Let TM pick a number. Much easier. Same cost... actually less since you do not have to pay google.

Is anyone knows if I open a new account with Magenta plan and port the number from existing Simple Choice, does it still qualify? Don't want to pay too much extra on two accounts for three months. Or can I just port out the line to other carrier $10 prepaid sim and port in back to Tmobile the same day?
That is not porting. Porting is from another carrier. You would just be be doing account work. No new lines for TM. (they are not that stupid)

Thanks. I'm gonna pass on this deal this time then. I have a 6s that I paid $125 for just to do a deal like this, but to even add 3 months of a separate single-line Magenta plan ($210) on top of that 6s is only a net savings of $245.
Yea... what can you do with $245 these days anyways.
