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

Are you telling us not to use those as trade in
Or are you telling us you are not doing that..
Because two reps said vs hundreds of people did it and confirmed here on sd
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.
EDIT: more added...
don't leave Costco without your trade-in paperwork and shipping label.
--be sure the trade-in's IMEI is absolutely correct. the model and size matters also, but can be corrected later.
go home... wait 12-24 hours for your T-Mo account to update.
log onto your T-Mo account. follow the instructions on the paperwork they gave you.
Fill out the online submit form.
package your trade-in phone (no chargers/cases/cables needed) and put the shipping label on. get a mail tracking/receipt at the mail drop off.
you should usually receive your trade-in credit within 48 hours of delivery.
---if you don't, call T-Mo and ask if they are waiting for you to respond with an offer change/acceptance.
---they have a tracking tool and can tell you exactly what is going on if the delivery was completed.
patiently wait for your rebate card to arrive.

That saves you an additional $30-$40, in addition to the $70 savings off MSRP on iPhone 11.
It was $100 less than MSRP on the iPhone 11 Pro 64Gb at $899. Pro Max 64GB was $999.
That is a pretty good start on a discount, especially compared to the Target $200 gift card at MSRP, plus activation fee.
+++
People here are saying that WalMart price is $50 higher than normal at $750 for the iPhone 11 GB when they have their gift card, plus activation fee.
There may be other good or better deals, depending on your circumstances. But you do need to look at all the costs, then compare the actual net prices with all the details.
Good luck!
They say that you should wait and use the permanent, ported number, rather than the temporary number.
+++
Of course, that assumes you are going to port right away.
I have a phone for my mom, I won't actually port it until sometime after Thanksgiving, in early December. So I will submit with the temporary number, then make sure I don't port until after the gift card is sent. Just in case ....
My wife has to decide later this week if she will keep the phone and port, so I'll wait on her decision. She has a 6s, and hates tech, doesn't want a new phone.
Good luck!

But to ask my question more precisely - some think a better COSTCO offer might be coming for BF or later. My question having already got the phone on this present deal, is there a way to make it better if such a better deal does present itself?
I am happy with what I have - but always good to know if there is a way to match.
