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

First of all, nobody the iPhone 11 will be free after this. You expect too much if you think so. It is just at a cheaper net price than MSRP $700.

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.
iPhone 11 64 GB is $690 per phone with tax (rounded up)

690 x 4 = 2,760. (adjusted cost)
$2520. (your estimate)
$240 (difference)
Approx. $365* per iPhone 11 64 GB
(* with auto payment option and iPhone 6s cost 4@$150)

One iPhone 11 64 GB with Essentials Plan:
Approx. $430 including tax
(iPhone 6s 1@$140 for trade in)
If you already have an iPhone 6s in hand, you save additional $140.
Approx. final cost $290
Finally, add your value of iPhone your traded in.
$290 + (your old iPhone trade in price or value) = (true cost of this promotion)

Anyone have any insight about tomorrow's T-Mobile announcement? Would it be better to switch today and be grandfathered in with the option to change plans, or wait til tomorrow (for potentially bigger/better incentives)?

Also, I visited a store in another state while in town who knew about the Bring Your Corporate Discount, but the two stores I've visited in DFW were clueless. Anyone able to stack both the $580 and the Bring Your Corporate Discount?

Thanks in advance!

This was in Mesa. The manager checked the other stores for me. That said, I don't really know how far out she checked.

Just an FYI, I got

$2760 for the 4 phones
+$420 (for $140 Magenta plan @ 3 months of service)
-------------------
= $3180 total

-$2320 (which is $580 rebate x 4 phones)
-----------------
= $860/4 phones is

$215 net per phone

Thanks for this! I was specifically looking for this scenario. Maybe I'll wait for another iPhone deal.
It is still a better deal than buying an unlocked iphone at full price, no? What am I missing? What's the sweetspot price for you to consider this a good deal?

How often do Costco stores restock their inventory of iPhones? Also did anyone get confirmation when this promo ends?

Your figure looks correct but that's figurative.
In reality, you have to factor in your trade in – so add the true value of your trade in. (you're giving up possession of that asset)
Very few have four 6s in had to trade in. (whatever the cost, factor that in)

Don't do that. First, the price will be 699 not 629. Second, you will get credit for next 24 months not one GC.
Yea thanks ; called again and different rep was clear in telling 24 months credit .. either way now I have a old iPhone 6 which got delivered today but no Costco in 100miles have any iPhone 11 Frown

To take advantage of this offer ; you have to buy the device at Costco ( for which they need to have it in stock ).. if they order it online than you will still get 580$ but it will be split in 24 months installments which for me/many kills the deal

I am currently on Mint Mobile, which uses the T-Mobile network. Would I still qualify for this deal? I need 4 lines of service.

Full price = bill credits.
