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

Sorry if i confused you ! I meant what is the lowest priced plan to activate on ATT.
Like for T Mob prepaid , they used to have $3 plan which is now $10 .Once you activate a sim its mandatory select a plan and it adds to total cost of plan.
Hope i was able to explain ..!
You dont activate anything on ATT. You just get an ATT number, acc and Pin. You can buy this on ebay, like I did. I have a couple more if you want. PM me.

When u go to boost, tell them this is ur ATT number and u wanna port in for the 25$ iphone 6s deal. They'll ask u the ATT phone number, acc and pin. You give the details of the port in number you purchased from Ebay. They'll port in that number to boost. Simple!

I just called Tmobile for you because I was curious myself and she told me the device you are trying to unlock has to be in use for 40 days.

I asked if it was possible to unlock if the device was paid off or used the sim card in another phone for 40 days, but she was telling me the IMEI on the phone you are trying to unlock has to be in service for 40 days in their end for them to unlock.

My advice to you is if you wanted to wait til Xmas, maybe don't use the phone until xmas, pop in that sim for 40 days after then unlock since you have to keep your tmobile contract for 3 months, I guess the time frame would work.
Thank you very much

Just returned from costco, they handed me shrink wrapped never ever powered on iPhone 11 to me.

So, if i open the box changed the TMobile sim with ATT sim and power on the device my iPhone become carrier unlocked? I don't want to jeopardize $580, i will put the TMobile sim immediately after the try. Just want to check with experts before give this a try.
in last year threads, i saw something like the phone will lock to the first sim carrier u insert, not sure how much this is true now. if that's the case, u should not do this. u wont be able to get it unlocked later.

Does anybody have any insight on how frequently Costco get stock? Ideally I need 1 iphone 11, 1 pro and 1 max. Though online chat I never found all 3 in stock over last week. However everyday they mentioned different combination and size being available. I am wondering do they get daily stock. If i go first thing in morning do i have some chance of getting one of each?
Of course the stock changes.

They sell phones all day and those are then gone. Along the way, new ones come in to the store. Eventually they get placed into inventory. Then they sell those.

NOBODY CAN ASSURE YOU OF INVENTORY.

About the only about inventory that seems constant is only 64g phones - with a few rare exceptions.

nope, its automatically locked to TMobile out of the factory. So be safe and just put in the TMobile sim and activate it.

I was told to turn the phone on with the new SIM and leave it in for 24 hours, which essentially registers the phone to start the 40 day count. After 24 hours you can take the sim out and put it on your old phone, and at 40 days call to get the phone unlocked.

While I was there, I believe the rep showed me the promotion date on the computer and it definitely looked like it was extended another week. I did two lines on the last 2 phones they had in stock.

You can buy unlocked refurbished iphone 6s from below site

https://www.backmarket.com

No hassel of porting numbers taking plans and still getting locked phones

I bought 3 iphones 6s from this site all came in 3 days and in excellent condition for $104 - $107
Dang i've never heard of this site before. That's probably faster than me trying to haggle down a phone to $100, then have to drive to meet and get it, and wait for the guy because he's 30 minutes late.

What makes this better than just going to T-Mobile for the same deal?

Would you rather get a lump sum rebate card in about one month or bill credits for 24 months?

FYI for anyone in the Portland OR area, the airport location has the red iPhone 11 64gb in addition to black and white. I snagged one earlier!
Do you find any 128 Gb ? Thank a lot!
