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

Quote from GYnot :
Really need a new iPhone, so went to my local Costco today to talk to a rep about this deal. They only have 64GB models and just black or white. I don't care about color, but 64GB? I have a 6S and can see these are probably the last days I'll get anything descent for it. So this sucks for me.

Thanks OP, wish it worked out for me.
Finding a 128GB iPhone in a Costco is very rare (like really rare)...so just go with a 64 GB, that what I did !
I called like ALL stored in Houston (just think abt it) and NONE of them had 128GB in ANY color...period !!!

Which terms are you referring to?

Did you suggest don't use it on existing line until you get rebate?
I meant don't give them any excuses to reject your rebate. Yes, it specify device must be used on the new line this time. I suggest to have both new and old lines on the new iPhone by activating esim to old line and keep the physical sim as second line.

I have bought a iphone6s for this deal and i use sprint on Iphone7 . Can i trade in iphone 6s without activating and port in my sprint number to TMob directly?
Of course yes...!!!
Just take out the built-in SIM card and trade-in (although I would try to power it on at least...lol)!

Guys, i enquired about the ways to encash the virtual card with T-Mobile. It seems we cannot add the virtual card value that we will be getting from this promotion to the apple pay.

Could someone throw light on how to use the virtual mastercard prepaid card in store or other purchase ? It seems only we can use it for online purchases ?

Have anyone tried to encash or transfer the $$ value from such virtual prepaid cards to your own account or atleast as a physical card ?
Add it to Amazon GC balance and then it's up to you...!!!

Can someone chime in..

What happens if I cancel an old existing line in my account AFTER i opened a new account as part of this deal? Will it affect the bill credits in any way? I could not find any specific answer to this and it si not listed on the terms of the promo.. it only mentions if previosuly cancelled a line in the past 90 days...
Bill Credits? Really???
There is no question of "Bill Credit" in this deal...read the Wiki again please !!!
If you are asking "what if I cancel AFTER I receive the rebate card?" then yes, they can't do anything abt it !!!
Although it's suggested to keep the line active at least for 90 days !

Quote from bhaveshsharma03 :
It says new line. Does that mean I can port out my existing number from Sprint or does new line mean a new cell phone number? Some people did mention that they ported out so I guess port out is counted but just want to be sure.
Port-in from any non-TMo carrier is considered as a new line since T-Mo is still getting a "new" business/customer !!!

Quote from Peakok20 :
Thanks. Could you pls tell how much was the fee you paid for getting a physical card ?

I feel the catch here is this virtual card, where it have just 6 months of validity and high chance that we might not use the full value of the card, if we`re not a online shoppy savy person.
Seriously?
Why not buy a Walmart/Target/Costco/Amazon GC with it on their websites?

Has ANYONE found a phone with more that 64gb of storage?

It's pitiful Apple is still including such a small amount of Storage in their lineup. Haven't people realized their storage options are a scam? Their markup is ridiculous! You can get a 64gb micro sd card for under ten bucks. And why can't they add an Sd card slot?
The ba$tard Apple knows that a 64GB MicroSD card costs only $7 or so, but they can charge you $50 for the same internal memory if you don't have an option...suckers...!!!

What the heck are y'all doing where you need more than 64gb? Delete some old messages and transfer your photos/videos to google photos.

not true, done 3 of these deals in the past with Costco, after activating the phone with the sim card that was in there already, aka the new number, I took it out and used my main line's sim and no problem or delay with the promotion at all, did that with the other two phones as well.

also to further support my claim with my own experience, there's no fine print saying "You are required to use the new line on this new device" for the promotion

For those of you who want a way to cash out the virtual prepaid card without actually spending it, this is my trick, done it every single time for my past 3 identical deal Smilie

***After you receive the card

1. Add the card to your trusted friend/family 's Venmo account,
2. Tell them to send the full amount in the card to you via Venmo
3. wah-lah is in your balance, you can use it / withdrawal it to your bank Smilie


P.S there's no fee of any sort doing this Smilie you get the full amount.
