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

I don't want to port in my phone number because I'm in a family plan which I don't want to get affected.
Instead, can I just by a prepaid sim card and port in that number?
No need for porting. Just open up a new account/line

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'm looking for the same answer... Anyone tried this with SimpleChoice plan ?

He would have to have another device to keep Verizon's line active if he's planning to trade in the old iPhone to T-Mobile, I suppose...
Ahh ok. I didn't know the user needed to trade that device. Should just find a cheap 6s if he wants to keep that Verizon plan

Depends on the provider. Can't be under the Tmobile 'umbrella'. Such as metropcs

Everyone is talking about jumping on this offer and then cancelling and having the phone unlocked afterwards.. I assume they are going back to cheaper family plans?

If I'm on a 5GB single line with Verizon currently paying $52/month, is this not slick if I just decide to stay with T-Mobile? I also wouldn't be able to get back on the same plan with Verizon in the future, so I would be paying more regardless.

Thanks in advance!
There are many options, 1) stay with T-Mobile if you like it after all, 2) find an alternative network like Xfinity using Verizon network for cheap, or 3) keep Verizon. Option 2 probably is the most cost efficient one if you already have xfinity internet service.

Quote from RS1985 :
The phones are $629+ tax each (so say $680). You would get $580 back off each phone after the credit and rebate card (so net cost of $100). Phones need to be on tmobile until you at least get the rebate card (approx 8-12 weeks) before you cancel. 40 days before they can be unlocked.

If you're over 55, you can do that plan of ~$60/month. So figure 3 months worth to be safe ($180 total) plus whatever it costs to get 2 iPhone 6s (you say $100 each)

So I'd figure $580 total (2* $100 net after rebates/credits, 2 trade in phones at $100 each, $180 total for 3 months calling plan)
Thank you for this! I"m not over 55 years old, is that what you meant by this plan? What's the cheapest plan I can get with two lines? Or should I get 4 lines and sell 2 of the phones?

I picked up 4 today. All they had was the 64gb 11. I'll flip a couple after I get the rebate cards and the other two will be Christmas presents for the kids. Saved me some money on Christmas and they got better phones than I would have bought them. Thanks!

This looks like a great deal for people like me who still have an iPhone 6s! I'm confused if this deal would work for my situation though.

My family and I are currently on T-Mobile ONE plan with 3 lines. We all have an iPhone 6s, and we'd all like to take advantage of this offer and upgrade to the iPhone 11 (so trade in 3 x iPhone 6s). When we open 3 new lines, is it possible to use our old numbers on the new iPhone 11 phones? If so, how would that work? After reading some of the posts on this thread, it seems like we can have 2 SIMs on each new phone, but then what would happen to the old lines? Would we still need a phone active on those lines?

I plan on trading a used phone purchased on Amazon, but it hasn't arrived yet.
Do I need to have my trade-in phone with me at the time of purchase or can I go get my new TMO phone and mail in my trade-in when it arrives?

Thanks!

I just bought an iphone 6s locally. Did the following checks before purchase.
1. IMEI search in swappa and another site - both came up as clean and phone is on whitelist.
2, Seller confirmed the icloud is not locked and find my iphone is switched off
3. During power on the phone is asking to "setup up iphone"

Am i fine with the checks and can i assume the phone is eligible for trade-in?
TIA
