Rough Math
Example 1: Single line w/ used 6s+port in
Assume iPhone 6s trade in and port in your number that has a current monthly rate of $30/month, Further assume you only have a single line
you essentially will spend net $170 and gave up (trade in) that iPhone 6s, but get an iPhone 11 after three months at T-Mobile (Magenta, $70/month). More line will result in better saving. Detailed calculation is elaborated in this post:
https://slickdeals.net/forums/showpost.php?p=
Example 2: Buy and sell
$ 560 - 4 used Iphones 6s ($140) from Amazon
$ 420 - 3 Months of Magenta Plan for 4 lines ($140 w/ 3rd line free)
$2750 - 4 Iphones 11 64 GB inc tax ($687.5. $630 if no tax)
______
$3730 Out of pocket (Sum above)
-2320 Rebates ($580x4)
-2000 Sell 4 Iphones 11, 3 months later ($500 after seller fee)
= $ 590 Profit
$80 Iphone 6S from TotalWireless https://shop.totalwirel

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 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 was told at first to go to t-mobile.com/promotions to do it, but I don't have the promotion code either.
BTW, you should also receive the rebate form (three boxes on that paper and they are customer copy, receipt, and prepaid shipping lable). It will be problematic if you don't have that.

***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
P.S there's no fee of any sort doing this
Need to buy my family IPhone 11.
1. Buy 150 online x4 = $600
2. Trade it in and get 580 x 3 = 2,320
3. 3 months x $140 Magenta Plan = $420
Without the phone plan, how is the phone free if i will still pay $70 for each phone on top of the rebate (650 IPhone 11 - 580 rebate each) = $70 each phone (when i get my rebate obviously mailed) and each phone $150 = making $220 for an IPhone 11 each? (excluding magenta plan in the calculations)
am i missing something or its $220 for each IPhone after everything (not including phone plan)?
OK, I think you mean 4 lines, then your calculation should be:
1. Buy 150 online x4 = -$600
2. Trade it in and get 580 x 4 = +$2,320
3. 3 months x $140 Magenta Plan = -$420
4. pay off iPhone 11 in store 630 x4 = -$2520
Total = -600+2320-420-2520=$1220, or $305 per line.
It is still 43.5% of the MSRP. Just consider your self to buy a unlocked iPhone 11 at more than 50% off price.
From what I read it says to bring in a bill. Anyone have any luck doing this?

It also bothers me that the Costco rep didn't check my trade in phones, and that the rebate form has the info of the trade in phone on it. Thanks again for your time.

There is no so called rebate from that I got from Costco. I did get a trade in form that I posted in wiki (last picture) per others' request. Take a look there or just look a few posts above.
The online submission only gives you a confirmation page including the tracking number. That is not a form.
yes, you can do 2 line alone, actually the max is 4 line per person (T-,mobile account).
