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

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!!
people said credit check not needed, this is strange.

for those of us playing the short game and plan on cancelling in three months, it MIGHT make sense for you to bring a few compatible phones and take advantage of the $125 byod costco card on new activations. I did the four new iphone promo and going back tomorrow to add four more lines to get another $500 in costco cash card. I figure each line is only another $20 for three months so pay $60 get $124 seems ok to me..

He is probably talking about Vantage score which is 900 max. You get this typically from credit card.
Its not real FICO score.

Can you add more than 4 lines or is i just 4 lines per promo and rest do not qualify for iPhone promo?

Just an FYI, I was speaking to Tforce on twitter (about something unrelated) and mentioned possibly doing this deal (I didn't mention Costco, just the deal in general). She said there is no expiration date as of yet, so I would assume this is going to be longer than just this week, as some have mentioned
The deal through Tmobile will still be available but through Costco you get 10% off on iPhone ($70 in case of iPhone 11 - $630 in warehouse) and get the balance credit ( from the $580 after trade in value) in form virtual card, via Tmobile you get the credit back via monthly billing statement ( forcing you to stay with Tmobile for 24 months).

wow, very risky.
let us know how it goes switching back
I did wrong calculation and switched to Magenta. I pay around 135 for 6 lines and Magenta hiked the price to 200. Even though I trade in Iphone 6s+, its not worth it. Planning to return it, go back to old plan and open new essential line with a relative and cancel it after 2-3 months. Not so good. Since its 6S+, its ok.

guys, dont loose your Simple Choice plan for this deal...it's not worth it loosing your thousands of annual savings in monthly bills as long as Tmobile kicks you out...

I did these deals earlier this year when Simple choice was eligible plan but not any more until they specifically state that Simple Choice is eligible.

How can you save thousands with Simple Choice? For a 8-line account, you are paying roughly $175 for simple choice after 12% corporation discount (it will be higher if you don't have this). For Magenta, you are paying $240 but you get unlimited 4G speed data and a bunch of benefit including 4G hotspot data, in-plane wifi and free Netflix. Compared $22/month vs $30/month, most people don't care to pay $8 extra for unlimited 4G data. On Simple Choice if you want extra data, you are paying like 2GB/$15.

I need confirmation from you guys.

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)?
It is a better deal if you already have an old phone to trade in.
Is is a better deal if you stick with TMobile for service

If you have to BUY a phone to trade in, and you are not sticking with Tmobile, it is not as great as you have outlined.

This deal is best for people trading in an old phone and moving to TM. That is the entire reason for this promo. Some just want to work around it.

thanks for the reply. the rep said if i did that i wouldnt get the promo. seems like a big risk to take to me.
One of my friend did that with Galaxy S9 last year. He had a hard time getting it unlocked !
But it was eventually unlocked. He did get the rebate though ! My 2 cents ! Not worth the risk !
