No word of a matching promotion from Costco yet that doesn't involve bill credits. Will see if anything posts after release.

Full review from GSMArena
https://m.gsmarena.com/samsung_ga...w-2178.php
There is misinformation about RAM and processor on TMobile (865+) and Amazon (8GBRAM) website.
For anyone if matters, this link has better view of Specs on S20 FE:

Get a $70 Samsung Credit (for pre-orders 9/23 to 10/1). [samsung.com]
When you can trade in your phone directly the store:
- Regular purchases in the store AFTER the phone has officially launched
Negatives (for this deal): No one knows when this trade-in deal expires. It could potentially end on Oct 2nd, but hopefully later. If it is still alive on Oct 2nd, get to a store ASAP to purchase it. If the store runs out of stock, youre back at square one and must mail in your trade in.
Loss of $200 hookup discount, potential loss of $70 samsung.com preorder credit.
When you HAVE to mail in trade ins:
- Preorders in the store
- Preorders online/phone/chat
- Orders after launch online/phone/chat
- Orders (after launch) in store IF that store has run out of stock.
Negatives: longer waiting period of acceptance of trade in. Higher scrutiny of trade in
please be aware of scams. Be smart. If a random account offers a code but you have to pay them first, don't do it.
Fix overly sensitive screen...https://youtu.be/jT2YM8gz_44
S20 fe left vs s10 right

Yes, tiny text looks poorer due to the lower resolution and noticeable coming from a s8 through s20. Make sure you are happy with such a screen.

Because this will be a living document, I created a Google Doc for ease of updates: https://docs.google.com/document/...sp=sharing
Note: I am not a T-Mobile employee and this is my first-time doing a trade-in with a Hookup code, so I am learning alongside most people here; thus, my guide may not be fully accurate. Feel free to make suggestions for corrections if you notice any mistakes or parts that lack clarity. And if you found my guide helpful, please post a response here just so I know and will continue doing these. Thank you.
I hope this helps,

THIS STACKS WITH THE $200 HOOKUP CODE! Remember, only one Insider Hookup code per account, whether it's the 20% or the $200. See here for details on that promo. Please do not ask for hookup codes in this post.
Please note: This WILL NOT stack with the free line. The free line ends 9/24, and this phone promo begins 9/25. There is NO WAY to get this phone for free using the free line. Please don't bother support trying to do it.

Click the magenta text at the top of the page to see the offer for $500 off. Must be logged in to see the offer. To see the "free with add a line" offer, open in incognito. Please note the $500 off page currently says "when you add a line and trade in" but the adding a line part is a typo and not necessary.

Not entirely accurate. You do not pay "up front", you pay monthly minus the monthly credit. Yes you have an installment plan but no you don't pay up front.
Nope, even MVNOs on tmobile are getting 5G access for free.
You should be able to get this $500 off FE deal on the 55+ plan.
Which plan? Any plan that you can get an EIP on (a phone installment plan) should qualify, except for "Value Essentials" which is the 4/$100 plan they offered recently.
Both. See the link I added to the post for details about the insider hookup.
Yes, for the S20 FE, the $200 will be spread out via 24mo of payments. Or you could pay $200 down and your bill will not go up.
The Type 3 hookup code gives you a $200 rebate card. See details on that promo in the link I added to the post.

At the time of purchase, you will also have to pay tax on the $699 plus a $20 SIM upgrade fee. You might be able to get them to waive the fee though.
I hope this help.

Updates to Android 12, 3 years of security updates. 50% larger battery, that is new no less. 6.5 inch screen vs. 5.1. 120mhz screen and 5G (that I turn both off). Better camera. More bands. 128/6 vs. 32/4. The list goes on and on.
That's $200 to upgrade for the first time in 4 years. If you think spending $50 per year on your phone over the edge ($200 net for the new phone for expected 4 years usage by your standards), then why are you on TMO and not on a very cheap MVNO instead?
Next year your S7 will have $0 or $100 trade in value, meaning you will spend more in the end waiting until S21. If not this deal, then soon! Good luck. . .
And if you get the Type 3 code. . it's net free (after taxes). Are you eve considering NOT doing this upgrade?
Anyways, go to the Tmobile reddit thread and then find the sub reddit that deals with Hookup. Click on the Discord banner on right side of screen, subscribe to Discord, then proceed and click on Hookup-info on left side of the Discord, and take a ticket # (like at a deli) if they are still not in shut down mode still--they shut down tickets to try and catch up to orders. If so, check back later. . .
hope you can help me on this:
1. I have 55+ plan (2 lines), planning to upgrade one line with this deal.
So, i should either go to store or online to pre-order FE.
Then, trade in my s7 Edge
I should received a trade in value, then the rest ($500-trade in value) will be spread via 24 months bill credit.
2. When should i activate the hook-up type 3 code? When i receive the new FE phone?
Do i need to pre-register the hook up type 3 code first (like how ppl do for the Type-1 code)?
I didn't do the Type-1 code becoz it does eligible for 55+ plan. This is my first time use hook up code. My concern is if i go to discord and grab one, even those code not used by other yet at this moment, but if i need to wait for my phone to come in then put in the code, by that time, someone might use the code i have....right? I did also do the ticketing system, but no reply yet.
Thanks again for your time.
What would be my best option to go about this. I would like the 3rd line free or should I get a hookup code to get 20% off
I'm trying to see what route would give me the best deals.
