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

Can someone please walk me thru the process of getting into the website for the traded phone?

I've got a set of instructions but too many codes to enter. I just shipped the 6s with the provided label today.

Now it's the part where I go to the link and validate the trade in?

Thanks guys

The storage/color shouldn't matter. The imei is the main important thing

I figured the imei is the main thing, I was asking for a solution to the error of anyone knew that's all.

you can go back to same costco to reprint the label with corect info or handrwrite the correct/missing IMEI digits. it should be OK, all they care in make and model to correctly assess the trade in credit.
They can't reprint with correct info, that's why I posted the question to begin with. I asked and there was no way to Edit the enteres info.

Quote from PhilMyStore :
When you are signing up at the Cosco kiosk, the agent that is helping you logs in to the system and they enter everything from there. They don't contact T-Mo and do it over the phone.

You can request kindly that you'd like to enter in their system yourself for security reasons. They don't need to know anything. The credit system will automatically check your name, address, SSN, etc to verify your credit rating. If your tell them the incorrect SSN, you will not qualify as it will come out as invalid.

If you are not comfortable working with that agent, go to another Costco of come and deal with a different agent.
Yes. I entered my SSN in their system, twice. So I'm pretty sure they are correct. And the the Costco guy told me T-Mobile needs to verify it manually

Amazing deal, thank you for posting.

Just did the deal in Costco, and the total price after 6S trade-in and 3 months w/ T-Mobile will come out to an effective cost of $219 for the phone. Truly amazing.

I will say though when I asked the Kiosk agent to confirm that I can cancel in 3 months if I want to, he said it was 6 months and anything before 6 months T-Mobile can try and get money back. I asked him to confirm this, and where that was in writing and he said it's not in writing nor is the 3 months. He then tried to tell me to go to another store because I was going to cancel the service, and that I was "stealing" from his company. Politely told him that was nonsense and the deal terms are the deal terms, and he eventually proceeded forward.

So fair warning, apparently some of the folks working there are against this offer and might give you some grief.

Doesn't make sense. On a similar deal, I wanted to trade-in a different phone later. I went back to Costco, and the rep changed the IMEI to match the phone I wanted to trade-in, and gave me the new paperwork. I sent this along with my trade-in phone. It took the rep about 5 minutes to change the IMEI.

Thanks

I just left Costco. You want to pay in full, for a phone they have in stock. You do not want them to order a phone or your $580 will come back as billing credits vs.rebate card. (At least my understanding).

I paid in full, walked out with a phone, the guy said I will get the full $580. And the email I received from T-Mobile said my 6S trade in was valued at $31 lol.

If I currently have Verizon as my provider and want to return to them after 3 months would I want my number ported back and forth? I only ask because I see other posts with people not wanting to port their number and wonder why. Other family members will not be taking part in this deal, so we will still have an account with Verizon if it matters.

stupid t-mobile! i had frozen my credit for the past 12 months and unfroze it to get in on the deal. I have an excellent credit score (860+). T-mobile credit check system coughed up a $150 security deposit for my background check effectively killing the deal for me. I could only get $150 back if i stayed on for 12 months and would have to forfeit in case i cancel service prior to that!!

has anyone heard this, that credit check fails or goes bad once you freeze / unfreeze your credit? I last applied for a credit card 24 months back!!

Having trouble with the page

http://www.T-Mobile.com/Promotions

I need yo to Activate Trade Save Promotion

I go to that page and there's no info on anything about the Costco Promo ..
Like on the page the rep gave me it says : Enter all required fields And the PROMO Code costco2019appletrade

What am I doing wrong. I already shipped the 6s today

Now I managed to get into the form but it seems that I have to wait until I port may definitive number for this to work properly as they need to sen a text about the promo.. Is that right? - The new line I got from Costco is not the number I'll be using from thursday ( when I port my ATT number) .. Does that make sense?

You're lying about your credit score. The max score is 850.
