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

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.

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.
How about adding it to Apple Pay Cash and then to Bank ? Is there any fee?

I assume this tmobile iphone 11 can work on CDMA carriers like Verizon too?

If I understand the guide, if you don't have tmobile or an iphone 6s:
Costs:
1x Iphone 6x $140
1x Iphone 11 64GB $700
1x 3month Magenta Plan 3*$70: $210

1x -$580 Rebate card

Total cost:

$700 + $140 + $210 - $580 = $470 ?

Oh and the phone is locked until you ask for an unlock code?

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?
Remember to add about $15-20 per month as fees and taxes on your post paid bill

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
You can do whatever you believe so but please confirm before attacking others. All I am saying is that t&c is a bit different, be cautioned.

"How to redeem your offer: 1. To receive this offer, you must buy a new Apple iPhone 11, ... and use the device on your new line of T-Mobile service." stated on the first page of one document with your Costco iPhone purchase, control number: 232423961834.

And previous promo stated: "to receive this offer, ... and use the device with T-Mobile service and add at least 1 new line." No mentioning of using new device on the new line in entire t&c. To be safe, I will have my new device on the new line until rebate approved this time.

I cannot find the trade in labels anywhere. Costco doesn't know where to get one. Tmobile asked me to go back to Costco. But they didn't know anything?

What can I do?

Costco needs to print it for you.
Ask them to refund rebuy and print you the labels if they can't print it after the fact

Few weeks back I learned from our our own SD friends that easiest way to redeem your card is transferring funds to your own bank by going in to your promotional web site.

Kind of right. But small correction does change the final number.

1. iPhone 6s: people may have a used phone or can buy it cheaply say below $100. $140 is the expensive side. Let's say the fair price should be $100
2. iPhone 11: the Coscto price is 630, 10% off the MSRP
3. 3month Magenta: I would suggest to port in your current number so you don't double pay two phone lines. Say, if your current price is $30, then your net pay for 3 month is 3*($70-$30)=$120
So, the new number should be:
$630 + $100 + $120 -$580= $270.

Make sense? Don't rush to jump simply because it is a deal for others. If you don't have a trade in or you can't port in, it may not be a deal for you.

Magenta, $70/month.
How did you submit for the $25 promotion if magenta is not included in the promo?

It asks to upload receipt and box with imei. I believe it's box with IMEI of new iPhone 11 but can someone confirm?
