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

Has someone actually done this deal yet. Because it says in the original link it is up to $580. Not $580 no matter what your trade is worth.
No. No one so far. Do the deal and let us know how it goes.

Just got back after waiting 1.5 hours at my Costco. I guess too many people trying to take advantage of deal. But as we were making purchase, the guy said we had to keep the line open for 6 months or else he wouldn't get commission and that we might get charged the rebate as a final bill if we quit before 6 months.

I havne't heard this through anyone else....was this guy just lying to me? Or do we have to keep the lines open 6 months or risk losing the rebate?

I was basically opening another line and going to cancel it as soon as the rebate came, figured it was worth the sunk cost of a line relative to the big rebate $.

Thanks for any help - will look to see if I can still do this deal as the guy said it was extended to Nov 19.

my trade-in credit has not come in yet either.

what number did you call and how did they tell you they knew the condition of your trade-in?

I called and they told me they knew it arrived but that was all. no other info. it's been a week now, but my other 3 trade-ins were credited last week.

Assurant sends phone images in detail once received..they either send credit amount or put them in backlog.. so tmobile rep's can see the phone condition... tmo *18009378997 .. just escalate to manager and they will get to the bottom of it..

Spoke to the sales rep and was about to walk away because I didn't have the iPhone 6S on hand. She spoke to her manager who confirmed the deal would be extended (although she said Sunday). Btw iPhone 11 is $629, pro $899, pro max $999 which is cheaper than outside. So this is a deal already for most states that deal with tax

Is it true that no matter what day you were enrolled into the plan- T-Mobile billing cycle ends with 9th of every month?
I just got the first month bill - and it says usage period of Nov 7th through 9th of 70$ for single line Magenta..what a rip off? I could have asked the T-Mobile customer care..but no better place to get the fast other than here..

Just saw your post and I check my bill online..I signed up on Nov 7th also, and my bill said the same Nov. 7 -Nov. 9 for $70 magenta unlimted 55.

Can anyone please confirm if this is right? I have read that if you cancel before your service end, they will not prorate your bill for refunds anymore...but for this..Wow..I hope that's not right.

Are people going for the iPhone 11 or the pro version? Just curious. I see posts about iPhones not being in stock. Is that in regards to the pro?

Not as good as last year that gave you $750. The better thing about this year is that they are still accepting the 6s like last year. I thought they would only accept the iphone 7 this year.

This deal came around at least 2 or 3 times last year. I would honestly wait until black friday weekend to see if they will bring back the $750 deal because thats when it happened last year

It only makes sense that the black friday deal this year will beat this deal or this deal will come back one or two more times like last year anyway
Fingers crossed they bring it back and it's monthly bill credits, going to buy a few SE/6S just in case.

Add new lines on a qualified rate plan
Thank you for the response. We decided to cancel the 3rd line and only switch 2 active lines to magenta military so we can hopefully be able to take advantage of any new good promo that may require adding new line. The T-Mobile rep at the store mentioned that they will have a BoGo free on Samsung starting tomorrow; but don't think I'm ready to give up the apple ecosystem.

I ask tmobile-help on twitter, here is what they replied:

I hope all is well and thanks for reaching out to T-Force.
congrats on your new service with T-Mobile!
That's a great question about your first bill, and I'd love to help provide some clarification.
T-Mobile does use a Bill Current billing system. Bill Current billing pulls postpaid customer's payments forward one month, helping to reduce bad debt by moving up the payment received date by 30 days. The first bill cycle will close within 1 - 4 days of activation, so this is why you received the bill just a few days after activation, to cover the next month.
Please let me know if this makes sense, and if you have any account specific questions, you can verify your account below. ^VinnyFrancisco..

2nd message:
Id be happy to continue clarification. Any Post Paid account activated on or after May 20, 2012 are Bill Current. And you are correct, this is much like Pre Paid, in terms of paying upfront. All wireless companies practice this, again to prevent bad debt.

You can see on page 2 of your bill, you actually paid for Nov 10th-Dec 9th. Our billing system will forgive the prorated monthly reoccurring charges charges, associated taxes, and regulatory fee for the 1-4 days of the first bill cycle. This is why page 2 says Nov 10 - Dec 09. You actually did not pay for Nov 07, 2019 - Nov 09, 2019 as again, our system forgives those first few days. ^VinnyFrancisco

My local Costco only had iPhone 11 Pro i^$ GB Space Grey n stock, yesterday and today.
I bought two, one each day. I didn't want to take a chance that the deal wouldn't be renewed.

It is a relatively good price though, $900 for 64 GB, versus $1,000 elsewhere. Plus no activation fee.... Smilie

Costco Wireless website partially updated to reflect the deal extended to 11/19

https://membershipwireless.com/offers

The offer details page is still not updated.

Now if only the local stores get some stock before 11/19!!
