Here are the actual terms:

"For a limited time at participating Metro® by T-Mobile stores, purchase an Apple iPhone SE 64GB Black and port-in an existing eligible wireless number to that phone and receive an instant $300 rebate off full retail price with validation of name, address, and date of birth provided through independent database and presentation of matching identification. Limit four (4) total phone instant rebates per account/household. Excludes phone numbers currently on T-Mobile or active on Metro in past 90 days. Rebates provided in form of credit against regular purchase price at time of sale and have no cash value."

As such, it should be $99 for the phone, out the door. Activation and service (and possibly tax) will be extra, but there should not be any "deposit" or delayed rebate per the official terms.

My local store is telling me a different story than several others have reported. They said the cost is $200 for the phone + $35 tax (tax on full retail price of $399) + $15 activation fee + $60 minimum plan for first month. The plan can be changed after the first month to the $30/month plan. After 6 months you get the $100 rebate card, giving a net price of $360. They only have the 64 GB version of the phone available.
They ALL tell a different story because every single corporate Metro store are full of crooks & thugs, and they all say something different in order to squeeze more money from you. Remember when they tried to start charging for simple SIM swaps not long ago, even tho T-Mobile's network is 100% swappable regardless?? That's Metro.

Same with some AT&T retail stores (not resellers). When I was getting the older SE back in the day for $89 or so, one AT&T store tried to pull a fast one on me and I just pointed to the store sign in front of the store.

Then they told me that particular SE is OOS after telling me it was in stock over the phone and to come in.

I reported the rep and sales staff to corporate.

Went to 2 other AT&T stores and was able to get the deal according to advertisement.

Just need to know your fine print and not let them walk all over you.

Been to Store. Actually its
$99.00(device cost) + $100(deposit) + $45 (tax) + $17 (activation fee) + $40(min plan) = $301
So $301 + $200 ($40 * 5 months) = $500 approx
At the end of 6th month you will get back $100 deposit as visa card.
So for 6 moths you will end up paying approx $400 for 64 GB.
Typical shady sh*t from Metro. Run from this "deal." Total joke.

Thanks for sharing this and welcome to Slickdeals. I would advise adding some of these details people are mentioning to your post, since right now based on your post it seems like I can just easily outright buy this phone for that price, which is not the case.

Visible is $384 + $50 - $200 = $234 total price totally 100% unlocked for both CDMA and GSM with Qualcomm modem.

MetroPCS is 100% crap with Intel modem and only GSM and 100% locked for 6 months. Terrible terrible deal.
Total BS. Apple already stated that the phone is built one way and one way only. They don't have different modems. Thanks for stopping by and playing.

I honestly thing someone screwed up the T&C's. The press release from TMo specifically mentions the $100 after 6 months, and the guy in the store showed me the guidance info they got from corporate, and it said $100 after 6 months as well.

For how long does metro blacklist you if you buy the phone but then cancel immediately?

There is only one model for the US, A2275. They are all the same with Intel Modems.

The Intel vs Qualcomm differences are for earlier models (iPhone 7 / 8 IIRC); the SE 2020 doesn't have a separate GSM only model.

This is a good deal the problem is that most metro stores are run by franchisees so they load the taxs on. They also do some dirty ass shift by telling their workers and customers that you have to buy accessories. 1. This is how the franchisees make profit. 2. Thats how employees sales skills look better plus they get like a dollar or two for an accessory.

This couldn't be more wrong.

1) Visible doesn't unlock the phone until 60 days (or 2 months) of service have passed.
2) The modems are identical, as there is only one version of the iPhone SE 2020 released in the U.S.A.

Just bought the phone an hour ago. $100 (phone) + $40 (plan) + $15 (activation) + $10 (sim) + $10 (approx tax) = $175 (approx) Total paid. They didn't even ask me for any screen protector or cover. Just asked for the insurance once which I declined. Also, I ported the boost no. which I bought few hours ago from ebay. Thanks for posting the deal.. 👍
