I added a line over the phone with tmobile customer service yesterday . Once I get the sim card, can I take it to Costco to activate it and buy a phone from Costco to get the 200 dollars gift card ?
The line is already activated. Taking it to costco does nothing as their offer is for adding a line, not buying a phone.

I already did yesterday the Costco BYOD promo when adding a new line and ported-in a GV number. I was trying to find out if I will risk losing the Costco BYOD $200 GC if I choose to go with the Google Pixel promotions (Free with an eligible trade-in device)
I did it, not sure why you would not...

I messaged t-force to make sure my plan was eligible for the free line and pixel 50% off deal, they verified it was. I signed up for the free line yesterday at Costco and used my existing tmobile pixel 2 to be the imei on record. They put a new sim in and the line was activated. After leaving Costco I put back in my old sim so that I can continue to use the pixel 2. When I got home I verified that the new line was added and it was free (I'm on a simple choice unlimited plan). Then I went on to tmobile and ordered the pixel 4a 5g on eip as an upgrade on my old line. That phone will show up next week and I will then put my old sim in the new phone and the costco sim in the old phone. At that point I'll submit the costco rebate. The important part is today I received a text from tmobile that reads:

T-Mobile promo message: Line xxxxxxxxxx is scheduled to receive a monthly bill credit for 2020 Google Activate P1 as long as you maintain eligibility.

The line listed is my old line. This indicates to me that tmo's system doesn't mind that I put the new phone on the old line, just that I also have a new line on the account. Of course the proof will be whether the billing system does it correctly. My plan was to call tmo, probably waiting until after I get the costco card, if it doesn't to apply the credits automatically. My guess is with the tmo chat logs and the text message they can be convinced to add the credit.

I haven't decided on whethet to port a number yet for the other $100, but it doesn't seem to be much risk at this point, as long as costco will accept the ported number.
How did you add Pixel 4 on an OLD line when this promo is for NEW line (free line that you just added) - " Get a FREE Google Pixel 4a 5G when adding a new line AND trading in an eligible old smartphone". Dont T-mobile check what line you are adding this pixel to ? wont it need to be the new and same line ?

I went from a 6t to the pixel 4a5g. Overall, it's fine but I'm not blown away. Nice to be back with google and the battery is definitely good. I don't notice a huge difference otherwise though. That said I'm glad I did it and at $250 (I traded in an og pixel) it's worth it.

I did the exact same (traded in og pixel). Upgraded from a 6t to a 4a 5g and really like the 4a 5g quite a bit better. The battery life is amazing, camera is great and having stock Android is a plus in my book. Even though the processor is not top of the line it is plenty fast.

Was going to jump on a 4a this year but getting a 4a 5G for free is insane if you're already a T-Mobile customer (they're running a free line promotion that stacks with the trade-in). Even getting it for $250 is nuts. Hell of a good deal trading one free phone for another.

The 4a5G has the same camera and sensor, the only change is there is a 2nd rear camera that is an ultrawide. Otherwise, the camera and sensor has been unchanged since pixel 2, as far as i know.
True, but the reviews on youtube show the video is much better on the new 4a 5g than 3a. Some reviews show the stills are either a bit better or same.

It is all software updates. I recently got the new software update for the camera and it is truly better. That being said, I am still upgrading from my 3 XL. I had UbreakIfixit fix my cracked screen...and they somehow screwed up the mic. I don't call much on my phone without using bluetooth so I didn't realize it until well after the 90 days warranty -_-

I don't have an answer on this. The system sent the text message automatically when I said to upgrade my old line.

It was a risk to try it and I'm not sure if it's going to work, but hoping with that text and the various chat logs will be enough for tmobile to add the credits even if it doesn't do it automatically. I think I'll wait until after receiving the costco card to even call in if it doesn't happen automatically.
