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

Just make sure you get the virtual prepaid card first. Use that card to pay off or most of the phone. Pay off your phone and then you can cancel the T-Mobile line.

Keep this in mind that you will not be able to sign up for future promos for a period of 90 days. But, if you wanted to take advantage of future promos you will have to reactivate this line that you will be cancelling.
Thank you. The description of the post says that I pay full retail price upfront. That's where my confusion is.

Lets say I have a 16GB iphone 6s valued at 36$. At Costco, I pay full price of an iphone 11 : 699 - 36(trade-in) = 663$. After about 8 weeks, I get the remaining 544$ VISA / MASTER CARD prepaid card from T-Mobile.

Where am I paying off the phone here?

As others have said, Tmobile supports dual Sim (by using the eSim). In other words, you can have the new line AND your regular number on the same phone. So it doesn't really matter anymore
Last time I contacted T-mobile support to activate eSim, they have mentioned it's currently supported only for prepaid and not post paid....not sure if anything changed recently

That was true up until about 2 months ago. It is now available on postpaid. Just go into a Tmobile store and they will set it up.

Is trade-in phone need to be available at the time of signing the deal? I was planning to do this deal but iphone 6s wont be in hand before deal expires on 11/7.
You must give them an imei for a trade in phone, doesn't have to be the exact one you will be sending in. You can send a different phone meeting the requirements by just writing the imei of this one over the old one on the slip to go in with the phone in mail. I've done this twice personally this year and many other here did as well. However, don't blame me if it went south, just to share my knowledge and experience.

You will pay full price at the register (It's actually $629+ tax as Costco has a deal going on right now knocking $70 off the iPhone 11). The $36 will be a credit on your first bill. The remaining balance ($544) will come on a rebate card in 6-8 weeks

Oh nice.. Didn't know about the 70$ off. Here's what I'm planning to do

Get a brand new Total Wireless iphone 6s for 150 at BestBuy (I wont activate and I assume they allow tradein of locked phones)
Buy an iPhone 11 at Costco for 593$ after trade-in
Get a T-Mobile plan 60$ pm (I just need 1 phone) that's 60*3 months = 180$
Prepaid card for 544$

That puts my iphone 11 cost at 379$

I know it's not that slick as others seem to have gotten it for much less price. Is my math correct atleast? Smilie

Let's say after I own the iPhone with t-mobile through this promo and decide to go over to Verizon (on the family plan I currently have), will an iphone 11 pro - will the device work on the Verizon network?

This is more of a carrier question - my understanding is that if the phone has both GSM/CDMA bands this should be ok.

I thought only the 11/XR/XS qualified for the Costco $580 GC deal.

This depends on how wel your kiosk reps know what to do. You can go later on with the trade in device BUT not every rep knows what to do. Just read some past comments, some reps don't even initiate the trade in process 🤦🏽 ♂️

It will work, however the phone has to be unlocked. Tmobile will unlock the phone after 40 days if you request it.

A couple of questions if someone wouldnt mind helping me out.
The phone has to be paid all upfront right? I cant finance it and then use the rebate to pay off the phone?

Just talked to the Costco reps and they told me that if I try to cancel after getting the rebate, Tmobile will charge me for it. Is that so? They couldnt show me the terms where it states that but they said its usually a 2 year agreement. They then tried to sell me on ATT's deal for porting a phone number for 700 + a 250 Costco card (but then youre locked in for 30 months)
Stop asking Costco unnecessary questions. If you walk out with the phone, you will get the prepaid card in the mail after you do all the necessary stuff. IF Costco has to order the phone for you, it will be BILL CREDITS.
