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

when my rebate arrives and I cash it out, I plan on cancelling my T-mo account for all 4 lines right away.

is it easier to call and cancel or to port out? is there a preference for some benefit I dont see later?

I want to be able to take other T-mo promos later, so I will need to reactivate any lines inactive less than 90 days.

what if my account is inactivate longer than 90 days? do I still need to reactivate all 4 lines?

Quote from Bohous :
So using this logic, a higher value phone would require you to stay on a Tmobile plan longer to take advantage of the bill credits, no? Assuming the bill credits are spread out monthly?
What bill credits? The trade in value shows up as a one time bill credit. The beauty of these costco deals is that you avoid bill credits over 24 months, and instead get the full value in a card mailed to you.

lol
well, there is no clear answer to this.
You will not be eligible for promos if you canceled within 90 days. You have to bring those lines back up in order to get MORE lines.

Here's the part where some are getting lucked out on...Some previous users tried doing this deal and had already passed the 90 day mark, the Costco rep made a new 'rule' saying it had to be 6 months. I think I read that one even denied any service to that customer.

Be aware...costco can scan your card and see EVERY single transaction that you have done at the wireless kiosk. One rep did it to me when I did the XR deal.

Easier to port out. Then you don't have to deal with the retention department. After 90 days, you don't need to reactivate anything.

Way to abuse the promotion! It's people like you that are the reason these deals are becoming fewer and far between.

you cancel once you get the rebate card and unlock the phone (if you need it unlocked)
I did this deal 5 times with the 'free' XR promo several months back.
I currently don't have T-mobile. I have a Sprint service that I don't plan on getting rid of. Will these phones work on Sprint? Can someone post the math if we can cancel after three months how much we'd pay out of pocket?

I'm not sure about it working with sprint.
It should if it has all the Bands that sprint uses.
The math all depends on the rate plan that you get.
It's not that great of a deal for simply one line.
Say you open up a 55+ line with 2 lines, $55x3 months. Sell one of the iPhone 11's to offset the fees for your device.

That's not abuse, that's following all the promo terms. If T-Mobile doesn't want people to cancel that soon, they should add more restrictions in there.

I need two new phones..one for my wife and I. How much would we pay out of pocket after this deal? We can cancel service after 3 months? and does it count if we open new service? we don't have to sign a 24 month contract?
