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

I swapped my old sim into my new IP11 and the new sim into my iPhone 8 for my father; T-Mobile confirmed this was fine and asked for the new IMEI so they could apply it to the line I'm using.

However, given the amount of contingencies in this deal, I foresee having to argue for the rebate with T-Mobile when the time comes. I encountered all kinds of roadblocks a few years back when I submitted BOGO rebates. Unfortunately I didn't seem to learn my lesson.

My experience. YMMY

Not yet traded in and not yet received any promotional credit. So not a guarantee.

My iPhone Pro Max rings are $999 ($100 off) at the counter. Added a new line on Simple Choice (manager says it qualifies otherwise it can't proceed). Added a local? Promo of new line $125 Costco GC.

Now waiting to trade in an iPhone 6s within 30 days and see the updates on rebate.

Might be risky but the manager is very willing to help if anything happens.

The rebate T&C states that the offer cannot be combined with other promotions, so you could, but perhaps unlikely, run into problems down the road.

Edit: via Costco paperwork

what parts in nj?
I guess I shouldn't have waited so long.
Sucks that I have to wait on another user on an account.
Here is what Costco said in a chat:

Costco: Hi, at this time we're showing this phone as sold in select stores and cannot gurantee availability. Howevet, I can refer you to your local Costco to check additional options.

Quote from Marathi :
I had the same issue, the Costco lady entered 6s Plus instead of just 6s so the "fair trade in value" came up as $50 instead of $31.
When I talked to the Assurant folks, they said "not a big deal" since the IMEI is correct, they will assess the phone anyway and send me the new offer to accept.
But to save the processing delay later on, I still went to Costco and got it corrected, they gave me a new paper with new shipping label and RMA receipts !!!

$125 promo is for add a new line with BYOD

I was going through T-mobile unlock policy at the below lonk:
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-1588

One of the condition says:
You have requested no more than two mobile device unlock codes per line of service in the last 12 months

Does it mean that if I buy 4 phones on a line, I won't be able to get all 4 unlocked because if I get the 4th phone unlocked, I won't meet the condition of 'no more than 2' devices in the last 12 months.

I went to the t mobile store this weekend and they were doing $580 off with trade of 6s and above bringing the cost of the phone to $120. You don't need to go to Costco.

They only have the black 128GB in my area, no white. The guy at the kiosk said I could maybe exchange the black for the white once the white is back in stock at Costco. Is anybody else doing this or know if this will be possible. It seems like it might get messy with the rebate since you have to give them the IMEI for your new phone for the rebate.

The T-Mobile store offers this discount in the form of 24 bill credits, effective locking you into a 2 year contract. The Costco discount is a rebate, which you receive all at once. Much better deal.

Why will they ask the pic of the old phone's box Bhavesh bhai???
They know that most of the people won't have the old phone's box...lol
Hell, they ain't even asking the old charger/cable/ear-pods, let alone the old box pic...!!!
Marathi bhai..I though these people might have put some hidden TnC to reject the claims Stick Out Tongue.
