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.

So I went in yesterday for this deal. The rep tells me I don't need to add a line as my line is upgrade eligible. BUT he said, if I add a line I'd qualify for some extra $125 promo that they don't normally allow but he'd try double dipping. I replied I don't want extra line if i don't have to. I get all the paperwork from the OP's thread.
Sounds like a mess.
$685 ($630 +tax) + 210 (3 month of Magenta service) + $120 (cost of iphone 6s) - $580 = $435 after canceling line after 3 months. Is that accurate? After 3 months of service can the phone be unlocked by Tmobile or not?

At first I start to panic as it says Accepted offer value $131 for my IPhone 8 64GB I plan to send it to them. Then I realized they did same thing for an IPhone during Samsung S10e where I received $40 but received it on the bill and rest of the amount on a gift card. I filled out the rebate and its says pending which is probably because they haven't received my phone yet, which I still haven't mailed.
I called T-Mobile promotions dept and the lady said the COSTCO promo says add a line and she doesn't see extra line added. She also said my offer might get rejected but told me to wait and call again until my offer shows and rebate tracking number shows up on their end which it didn't because rep said I just filed yesterday.
I am so confused on whether I should proceed further or just return the phone and play it safe. Don't want to get screwed by only getting $131 for my IPhone 8.
I called Costco and luckily it was the same guy singing a different tune that it depends on what model, memory size and condition the phone is and its not a guarantee of $580 but rebate form clearly says "All variants and sizes" accepted. Sorry for a lengthy post. Hoping someone could chime in
Another way to check is to go through the rebate submission process as I don't see why it would let you go through the process if you were ineligible. I'm unsure if this is the same procedure that you completed, but it should have been handed to you when you purchased the iPhone 11 at Costco under "How to Redeem Your Offer: 3-4. Go to T-Mobile.com/Promotions within 30 days... [start submission/log-in to your account] AND [enter] promo code: COSTCO2019APPLETRADE" You will select the phone line that is eligible for this offer (would be the new line's phone number) and hit next or something, then it will let you know if you're eligible for the offer. Then once you agree to the terms of service, you will enter in details such as shipping address, what cell # you want the e-gift card sent to (will be via text), and you will also upload the costco receipt showing your iphone purchase and a picture of the back of the iphone box.

You should be able to unlock after 41 days (make sure you call/text ASAP on the new phone lines to "activate" it on the T-Mobile network). The unlock request can take a couple days so I'd recommend doing so on the 41st day or soon after.

I actually did all that. It let me select one of my existing lines that I gave the Costco rep that I was upgrading. Asked me for the new device IMEI number and everything and even allowed me to submit it and received a tracking number.
my trade in recd york pa on Thursday ( last week ) but nothing posted yet..
