Based on the information from this thread and another community, I created a guide so that more people can hopefully navigate this deal easier and so questions won't be continuously repeated.

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,
Tofu Vic

Since this involves a trade-in, just want to remind folks that you can trade-in in person at a T-mobile corporate location and by doing so, avoid any surprises from mailing in your device

Starting 9/25 get a Galaxy S20 FE 5G for just $200 over 24 months via bill credits when you trade in an eligible device:

Apple: iPhone 11, XS Series, XR, X, 8 Series, iPhone 7 series
Samsung: Galaxy S10 series, Galaxy Note10 series, Galaxy S9 series, Galaxy Note9, Galaxy S8 series, Galaxy Note8, Galaxy S7 series
Google: Pixel 4/4XL, Pixel 3A/3AXL, 3/3XL
OnePlus: 8, 8 Pro, 7T Pro McLaren, 7T, 7, 7 Pro, 6, 6T
LG: V60 ThinQ, G8 ThinQ, G7 ThinQ, V50 ThinQ, V40 ThinQ

Or get one free via bill credits when you add a line.

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.

https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-pho...-s20-fe-5g

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.

I posted a guide 4 days ago when this thread was still young and before the promotion went live. I am still seeing confusion and questions, so I am reposting it now and hopefully it isn't seen as spam.

Thanks so much for the outstanding guide. I tried pre-rdering online and it gives me a $60 credit instead of the $500. is that just a quirk in their system? Also not having luck getting a hookup code

I noticed in your doc that the recommended methods do not include ordering via the app or the t-mobile website. I ordered via the web using the upgrade button so the trade-in is seamless and I don't get dinged with $30 of fees (do have to pay $7 shipping). Does make me nervous that they show the $500 on the main page, but there is no mention of it all the way through checkout or the EIP agreement.

For anyone ordering via chat or on the phone, does you EIP agreement include the $500 off?

I definitely think it is and am doing it for my significant other. To me, everything is an improvement except maybe the three following things:
  • S20 FE does not have a headphone jack
  • The front screen's glass is lower quality:
    • S9: Gorilla Glass 5
    • S20 FE: Gorilla Glass 3
  • Physical device changes:
    • S9: 5.81 x 2.7 x 0.33 inches; 5.75 oz
    • S20 FE: 6.29 x 2.93 x 0.33 inches; 6.70 oz
One thing to keep in mind is that phones deteriorate with usage, so if your S9 is somewhat old, it may be worthwhile to upgrade to a newer device.

I hope this helps,
Tofu Vic
Yeah those three things make me hesitate. I got my s9 on Jan, 2019 so it's not 2 yrs old yet.

Yes, so far so good. I went there, checked the code, and then nothing. It's just a static page. Tried different browser, same thing.

PS.
NEVER MIND. Tried different computer and it worked.
Slowly but shirley I realized that check the code page and the enter the code page were not related. I assumed that they would have a follow up step with a "next" button or something to keep on going. Too excited to realize that they were two separate steps.

honestly the whole gorilla glass stuff is just hype. They will all crack if they are dropped a certain way. Everything else is significant upgrade, especially the 120hz screen. Whats not really spoken about is that the storage is UFS3.0 vs S9 storage is UFS2.1, so not only is the CPU faster than your s9, but everything will launch much quicker as well

Thank you for your post.

I understand that one can submit rebate after receiving the S20 FE phone since the rebate requires the IMEI number, but I am wondering how does one go about claiming the Type 3 code?

Oh, good. I tried entering it again after your initial message and it worked fine for me, so I kept trying to replicate it but couldn't trigger any problems on my end.

Take care,

You can definitely use the app or the website to order without a representative, but for peace of mind, I personally recommend a text-based communication with a representative so that you can save the correspondence for reference.

For what it's worth, my EIP agreement does not show the $500 off.

I am sorry Tofu Vic, but I am new at this, I found a Type 3 code that works. I understand the process of submitting for the rebate as I have read thru your guide, but is there such a thing as "claiming' the Type 3 code so that no one else can use it?

When upgrading a line does the line transfer to the SIM card shipped with the S20 FE or is the existing SIM card on the line still active.

I am upgrading line of kid away from home but I don't want her SIM card to go inactive. She would just pick up the phone when back at home in a month.

I've read through about 40 pages of this deal and haven't really determined if Sprint lines are eligible for this promo or not. I've seen posts that say yes and some that say no, but when I go onto the website to try to upgrade I don't even see an option to trade in a phone with Sprint. Can anyone verify that this works with Sprint or not? I don't mind going into the store if I have to just want to not look like an idiot if I dont have to.
