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

Anyone had done this successfully with a boost mobile ? I mean trade in verified by assurant and account credit applied for the trade in phone ?
Thanks for any reply.
Waiting for the rebate
Just a note: for the iPhone 7 Plus there was a change needed to be approved from my side . TMobile didn't called or informed me. I got to know when I inquired about the bill credit about that phone.
So better call their customer care if your phone reached them but you have not got the bill credit after 2 days

edit: actually, I see them now that I'm looking at my summary bill, weird, I remember last year you could see them on the account history screen but now you can't. Hate how they keep changing the website, I swear they do it on purpose for obfuscation

Can you show me how it shows up in the summary bill?
I checked my account and in the billing section I can only find the November charge and payment but no trade in credit. Thank you

I called the promotions department today and asked them to fix the rebate status. Now they say they still can't change the rebate status and that I have to call back on 12/22. Arghh.
Promotion center suggested to resubmit rebate, since they can't see the images of IMEI or Costco Bill on there side.
Nov 22 - shipped all four old phones
Nov 24 - USPS showed phones delivered
Nov 26 - bill credit received for 2 of the 4 phones
Dec 1 - call tmobile, rep says the other 2 phones have to have an adjusted credit manually accepted (apparently the wireless advocate rep at Costco put those 2 phones as 'Apple-Generic' but one was AT&T and one was T-mobile). He got those manually accepted and I should have the final 2 bill credits.
Will update when I receive virtual rebate cards.
Good luck all.
I ended up going to another Costco. They called up the original store because they wanted us to do the return through them (when she later talked to the WA rep, she asked if doing the return at her store would hurt her numbers). When the new Costco rep talked to the original rep, she immediately changed her tune and said that she never denied the return, so obviously trying to cover her tracks so she wouldn't get in trouble.After all that and talking to WA again in the store so the associate could follow the correct procedure, I was able to return fairly easily. Still waiting on the check to come in the mail currently.
TLDR:
Yes, I was able to get Costco to process the return. I had to go to another store because the original kiosk rep absolutely refused to process it in the hopes that the 90 days would expire or I would give up and her numbers would not be hurt.
Did anyone here purchased GREEN iphone and the rebates are not denied?
Thank you.
