Rough Math
Example 1: Single line w/ used 6s+port in
Assume iPhone 6s trade in and port in your number that has a current monthly rate of $30/month, Further assume you only have a single line
you essentially will spend net $170 and gave up (trade in) that iPhone 6s, but get an iPhone 11 after three months at T-Mobile (Magenta, $70/month). More line will result in better saving. Detailed calculation is elaborated in this post:
https://slickdeals.net/forums/showpost.php?p=
Example 2: Buy and sell
$ 560 - 4 used Iphones 6s ($140) from Amazon
$ 420 - 3 Months of Magenta Plan for 4 lines ($140 w/ 3rd line free)
$2750 - 4 Iphones 11 64 GB inc tax ($687.5. $630 if no tax)
______
$3730 Out of pocket (Sum above)
-2320 Rebates ($580x4)
-2000 Sell 4 Iphones 11, 3 months later ($500 after seller fee)
= $ 590 Profit
$80 Iphone 6S from TotalWireless https://shop.totalwirel

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 XS through Apple gets you $500
iPhone 8 through this Costco deal gets you $580
iPhone XS through this Costco deal gets you $580

Do you know - do we need to activate it before trading it in? Or can we just send it in as-is?
I've been trying to read back, and other Straight Talk/ Tracfone threads, but this thread is crazy long now.
Thanks!
If yes then you would know that when you "reset" it (which is what you are supposed to do before trading-in), then next time anyone starts it, it will try to activate it, again!
In other words, you activating it or not makes no difference if you are going to "reset" it anyway !!!
What does that means?
- Also I've got a bill from TMO to paid on the 29th so I'm assuming they'll adjust that once Assurion gives the green light on my 6s they've received or maybe the bill credit will post next bill cycle?
One person can open only one a/c !!
But you can upgrade your One plan to Magenta+ plan which allows 9-12 lines !
Although 9th line onward costs $30/month and not $20/month like before !
I mean seriously... whether they credit $1, $31 or $131 in your a/c, the total trade-in value will be $580 so how does it matter???

1. the rep said I need to stay with t-mobile for 6 months, otherwise they would ask the rebate back. all the people here said 3 months, so is it 3 or 6 months I need to stay with t-mobile to keep the rebate?
2. now all the sim cards are inside the phone in the box, does that mean there is no way I can sell the phone sealed in the box? and the rep said I need to activate the phone and the sim card, if I don't I might lost the promotion.
so how can I use the sim on my spare phone and sell the iphone 11 as NEW?
2a) You should probably turn on the phone to activate the sim on the phone to get it to register the IMEI for the promotion. However, I was told after 24 hours I can move the sim to a different device. You can sell the phone but if you don't use it for 40 days on a tmobile sim, it will stay locked to tmobile. After 40 days you can call them to unlock it, and it should be usable on any carrier.
Looking to get the Pro Max as well..
CSR was very helpful at my local Costco! Definitely need to activate all the new phones for them to register as active lines for the rebate as many have mentioned previously.
got a phone from costco today. new line, new account.
came home and submitted the rebate/promo online @ http://www.T-Mobile.com/Promotions using Promo Code: COSTCO2019APPLETRADE. The costco rep did not give me anything. Whats next for me? Any help would be appreciated.
