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

Good suggestion. But don't overdo it, or you could risk being blacklisted by either Costco or T-Mobile.

"If we in our sole discretion determine that you have engaged in abuse, misuse, or gaming in connection with the welcome offer in any way or that you intend to do so (for example, if you applied for one or more cards to obtain a welcome offer (s) that we did not intend for you; if you cancel or downgrade your account within 12 months after acquiring it; or if you cancel or return purchases you made to meet the Threshold Amount), we may not credit Membership Rewards® points to, we may freeze Membership Rewards® points credited to, or we may take away Membership Rewards® points from your account.

can some one suggest what I can do? I have only one iphone 6s plus. so I ordered two reconditioned iphone 6s from simple wireless for trade in purpose. one of them arrives with good working condition, the other not(show blank screen even plug in charge cable, so I have to ship it back for replacement hopefully the promotion extends), so I originally plan to port 3 lines from cricket wireless, but now seems that I could do two lines with only two working phones available to trade in. any suggestion which plan to join for time being with the possibility of i may add another line once I have another iphone 6s replacement.
Find a cheap 6s on Craig's. Also, it looks like your 6s that doesn't turn on is under a recall. The issue is that it's hit or miss if apple exchanges it since it MAY have aftermarket parts.

can some one please tell me if Costco must open all the new iphones to activate the port in number. I was in costco today and the guy told me that he needs to activate the number right away, since I am still 3 weeks from the end of my cricket prepaid billing cycle, I want to activate it later. The guy told me it is their policy. so i want to hear your experience. also I want to know if activate it later, would that delay my rebate process
Of course it needs to be activated for the rebate to go through !!!
And Costco as well as T-Mo store always activate it before giving it to you, you can't go around it !

No, what I meant is that Costco or T-Mobile can cite very similar term to ban you if they choose to.

most of people with Simple Choice also has lot of other free stuff as well if you add all those together and if count the cost since Tmobile One has been launched it's almost 50-70% savings in monthly bill.

to give u an example

- 10 USD Family stateside international calling at account level- which is billed 15 USD add on per line in newer plans--so

- every new line is just 10 USD
- 10 USD north america feature to call from Canada and Mexico
- a lot of free music/video apps dont count towards your data limits
- also 2-3 free tablet/voice/sync up lines of 6GB from promos back in 2015-2016
- also recently lot of simple choice(6gb or higher) folks are being promoted to unlimited data at no additional cost.
- for simple choice folks unlimited data is NICE to have but not needed/worth it when u see the bill getting doubled-trippled depending on how many unCarrier promos some one has availed...I dont recall any month when I crossed 2gb in my 4 gb limit when most of time I am in wifi zone.

simple choice folks since 2014-2015 are paying just about 150-160 for 5 voice +3 free tablet/sync up with 20 gb data stash+ north america feature+ family stateside international calling with corp discount ---if you try to get all these now, you might end up almost 2.5 times if not three times. so that's almost 2k a year past and future savings...thats just example with 5 voice line, more line u have in group more u save.
You are partially correct but not 100% !
I have T-Mobile One plan for my family of 8 lines out of which 2 lines are free ("Add 2 lines and get 3rd line free" and then "add one get one") so I pay only $200 precise including taxes with everything unlimited + free Netflix!
I don't understand how you are saving "thousands" compared to me...lol

May I ask: other than reading the bill, is there way you can tell from our online account that you have the 2 line free features added in your plan. Do they really say one is from "Add 2 lines and get 3rd line free" and the other is from "add one get one"?

I ask this partially because I signed up my third line. The 1st line only added last Saturday and convinced two family members to join my plan. Without receiving my bill yet, I can't tell if I am getting the 3rd line free but I do get a "add one get one" promo confirmation message. Is this the same as the 3rd line free?

Just got back from Costco. The rep didn't even open the box or enter the trade-in information for my iPhone 6s. They just printed a bunch of papers and told me to fill out and mail it. Were they supposed to enter in my trade in on their computer or is the mail-in paperwork enough ?

there should be a one paper with IMEI, make and model detail of your 6s trade in along with checklist--if u dont have these 2 papers you might want to run back to costco in the morning...

I believe they have to enter it, in my case the rep did that. And when he printed out the shipping labels, it shows the phone imei. Also the trade in page shows the imei also.

I have a 6s that's working fine, but upper left corner of the screen is a little dark.
Will Costco take this?
