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

If you don't have a bill credit within 3 days of them getting your phone, I would call as there could have been an issue. I never got any communications from them about issues or even that my bill credit posted. I had to call them to find out there was an issue and then log into my account to see my bill credit. Had I not called and followed up, I likely would have missed out on the promo.
I bought on 11/2, submitted on 11/4, sent trade-in on 11/4, received delivery notice on 11/6, received credit on 3 units on 11/7 & 11/8, received 1 credit on 11/15 for a "adjustment of credit value".
I still have not received any notice of my rebate since then. (of course now that I am writing, I hope I'll get it today at some time) I am a new T-Mo customer for this promo.
Good news! Your submission has been approved. We will be sending your reward soon.
Is there anything to salvage the situation?

Then i called back again and talked to someone else and explained the conversation I had with previous rep. She then did something and said it is now accepted.
So if you call and they seem to be clueless, try another rep!

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.
Dec 2 - bill credits for final 2 phones appear. Now at 4/4 for bill credits. 3 of 4 of the Rebate statuses show as "Received". 4th one shows "Denied"
Dec 3 - call Tmo about the denied status (after hours) - got call center in India, person said they could not see what was attached only the reasons the rebate got denied (poor image quality or blurry). I knew this was impossible bc it's not blurry. They recommend I resubmit. Based on previous posts by others, I thought it may be an issue with the purple iphone 11.
Dec 4 - call Tmo, get transferred to rebate line. They say 3 of the 4 have the required documentation and they can actually see what I submitted, and say, "it is very clear, there won't be any problem with the required images here". For the 4th one they say, "no attachments were included, most likely our system couldn't handle the amount of people doing submissions. You'll have to email our exception group after 30 days of the Tmobile account creation. If you try to email prior to that, the system automatically thrashes the email."
So, 12 more days to wait, then rebate processing from then. Will update again after.
Is this text from tmobile or something else
How long was it for you after the rebate was approved
I bought on 11/2, submitted on 11/4, sent trade-in on 11/4, received delivery notice on 11/6, received credit on 3 units on 11/7 & 11/8, received 1 credit on 11/15 for a "adjustment of credit value".

Even though 1 of my trade-ins had an issue with description/value. It was corrected 7 days later. But my rebates all still came at the same time.

my first rebate card transferred fine with no fee. but all 3 others are giving me this routing error.
as soon as my 40 days pass with T-Mo, I plan on porting out or cancelling.
