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

Quote from dmart9 :
the (not so) short story of the process is this...
you go to the wireless desk, ask for the deal
they start your process with verifying/creating your T-Mo account
they give you a print out purchase request for the purchase of the phone(s).
The phones are locked up in the inventory room, only to be given out after purchased and paid.
you go to the Costco checkout lane and pay for the full price of the phone(s)
---obviously, you need a Costco membership to complete this task..(friends, yours, or whatever)
---if it is a friend's membership, then it is a YMMV by the wireless reps desire to be friendly or not.
---and remember, the Costco membership card has your picture on the back. (unless your friend is really cool and let you use his Costco app already logged in)

go back to the wireless desk and wait for the Costco rep to bring your purchased phone(s) to you there.
activate your phone(s) on the account and make a test call to verify working number.
finish your trade-in paperwork.
When do you hand over your iPhone to Costco / TMobile ?

your trade-in iphone?

you fill out the online submit form (T-Mo website) and then mail the old phone in with the ship label the wireless rep gave you at purchase time.

I wish they would stop extending this deal and just kill it so they can start a better one, like the $750 rebate deal last year. It would be funny to see all the people who jumped at this $580 offer completely lose their minds if that happens.

carrier unlock does not matter.
phone paid off with no lease/payment balance - YES make sure it is paid off
icloud unlocked/no passcode -YES does matters, turn off

the big thing for me was the $700/$750 deal was for only 1 phone.

this deal was for up to 4 phones. it would have taken me a year to get all 4 with that deal.... and that means a year of T-Mo monthly service.

for me, I needed more than 1 phone.

I read the 1st 5 pages as well as the last many pages, but don't remember a situation like mine. I just want to figure out if it's an issue or not before I proceed.

Went to Costco and did the deal. Have them the IMEI for iPhone 8 64g. The trade in value is showing as $0. I was expecting something greater than $31 (for iPhone 6s) Vneg less than $580.

I understand that I'll get $580 with the deal, but the cry that it's showing $0 is concerning. The phone is entered as "apple iPhone 8 64 gb gold - generic".

Any thoughts? Should I proceed with online rebate, or contact T-force, or contact Costco wireless?

if it's like others here... if the IMEI is absolutely correct, you're OK. if, not go back to Costco and get it fixed now.

track your shipment, if 48 hours after delivery, you don't get a bill credit, call T-Mo and ask if they are waiting for you to accept a different trade-in value?

Yeah, I just need one phone, so YMMV.

2 of the costco representatives (same location, wanted to verify with the reps there) told me that the phone should be either unlocked / t-mobile. I specifically asked about total wireless and straight talk phones (iphone 6s) that are on sale at Walmart, they said those won't work as trade-in devices. I think those reps didn't know as I am reading people using straight talk phones as trade-in for this deal..
