That would be a sweet deal then. I know I added 4 new lines with TMO thru Costco in July. I summited my rebates for $100 each line that same night. Then I ordered 4 new phones from TMO online by doing a upgrade on those lines. Well anyways those lines qualified for T-mobile current promos because it was done within the 14 day remorse period.

I bought 2 iPhone SE 2020 for $200 off each, a one plus 8 for $350 off and a iPhone 11 for $700 off with eligible port in plus trading in a iPhone 8. So most people on Slickdeals told me I would not get both Promo. Anyways I just checked on rebate status yesterday and I was approved for all 4 rebates and it said mailing date was 9-17. I'm pretty stoked about this deal.

You can also just go to your local Costco store & not only will you get free Sim cards with no fees but you also get a $100 Costco Cash card.
Can i just get a free SIM card from Costco and call T-Mo to update ICCID for the line I have ordered? I don't know when the shipped SIM will come in. Thx

I have read in several posts that the Costco $100 will disqualify you for the$250 2020BYOD. That is why I tried the Apple Store for free sims. If anyone got both the Costco offer and qualified for the $250, please please post your success story.

Are you able to track your shipment? I have the tracking number, but there is no update. Says UPS couldn't locate the shipment. Thx
yes, i have tracking number, and i can track on UPS. The package is not in UPS hands yet. so only the label was created.
So, not sure when I will receive the sims.
I just now already got the email "your account has been activated" (in less than 24 hours of placing order). So, T-Mobile will likely start billing as of today, even though they didn't deliver the sims to use the service.

chatting with t-force to see if they will allow to pick up sims in-store today (considering they activated my account, and sims are still technically not even shipped)

prefer to get atleast the hookup no ported today, so the 1st bill gives the 20% off.

I have completed all of the steps in the Wiki to order/receive new SIMs, set up new account, transfer numbers, and submitted rebate online. I only needed to insert one of the new SIMs in one phone during the process.

Am I qualified for the promo at this point? Or do I have to have 3 more phones and insert SIM cards and turn on each phone?
Quote from Szyszka :
I don't think anyone will have a solid answer at this point. If you only have one phone, why don't you at least pop the remaining SIMs (one-by-one) and make a few test phone calls / texts so there is at least some 'activity' on all the lines. It's too early for anyone to be able to reliably determine how strict T-mobile is going to be with regards to checking each line for the BYODs. We can only hope they don't care all that much and will pay out the rebate regardless of whether each line has a separate device officially 'registered.' Personally, just because I happen to have four old spare phones, I have them all set-up with each individual SIM. Just to be safe..
Hopefully T-Mobile doesn't care, even though some have used one phone to activate all sims and submitted all rebates with it, just saw on Account > Cost Details > Line Details that the phone IMEI I used to activate the SIM is shown for each line, to be on the safe side I set-up each sim with four spare phones I had. Never had T-Mobile b4 so unsure how strict they are.

Have you try to sign up for Tmobile ID yet?
I also have an email today saying my account is active with all 4 temporary numbers attached to it.

Call the number transfer center, 877-789-3106 (see WIKI). All they need is the temp numbers that came with the order confirmation email and your old carrier information (phone #, account #o, and PIN)

As I said right on the rebate form you submitted. Here I copied and pasted for you, only changed my tracking ID for privacy.

Promotion Number: 268466
Promotion Description: 2020 BYOD P1
Promotion Date Range: 9/17/2020 - 9/30/2020

Customer Information

Tracking ID: PWDP-0010-0000
It's strange that your info shows the date range is 9/17/2020 to 9/30/2020, while my info (screenshot in post #1649) shows 9/18/2020 to 10/1/2020.

I opened 4 lines before 9/25, with 3rd line free. Wanted to trade in phone on one of the paid lines for the s20fe and see if I would still be eligible for the $250 BYOD promo. Sorry, I am so confused with all these promos.

Also, would any of my paid lines be able to take advantage of the "iPhone 11 on us" ? Thank you for your help
Wait until u get paid $250 for the line before doing trade in deal or your $250 may be rejected if FE Promo is active while they're processing $250 rebate on that line!

Yeah that is the best route. See when the trade in on the FE expires and do an online order on that one. That will give you another 30 days to mail the device back in. Hopefully by that time, 6-7 weeks from now, your $250 promo will have already been sent.

It could be b/c I submitted mine early AM on 9/18. I got on the added the free around 7:30A EST and did $250 shortly after when rep told me about this (I reported this first on reddit on that massive thread the night before) After free line added, I ported # in and did $250. I already had a sim card when added the line so made everything quick same day
