Just added a line at Costco with no issues. The agent immediately ask if I was here for the free line. He was happy to do it and asked if I was bringing my own device. Gave me all the paper work and sent me on my way in ~10 mins. Confirmed on T-Mobile website that the line was free.
Was the sim card free or were there any service fees for doing it in person at Costco?

If you do it through T-Mobile there is a sim card/service fee attached to it.

Got the flexpay error at Costco. She said she has to call T-Mobile and could be up to 45 minutes wait. Considering the free line promo, I'm wondering if it could be even more?
I am at costco now and the rep is taking to tmobile now. Wait was a few minutes

I took advantage of this at Costco this morning.

First, I verified that my rate plan qualified.

Then went to Costco (when it just opened, so was first in line.) The guy was sort of new and wasn't familiar with the "add a line free" deal. No biggie - I just asked him to add a BYOD line anyways to take advantage of the $200 shop card. Probably took about 30 mins since he had to get his manager to help enter it in.

When I got back home, I called T-mobile CS and they were able to confirm this newly added line is free.

Weighing whether it's worth the trouble to try for the $100 port-in rebate. Anyways, at least the $200 was fairly easy.

No cost or anything at Costco. T-mo direct will charge $30 but most have been able to get that refunded

Folks, I am switching my 5 numbers of my family from Cricket.
I have 5 phones: 3 unlocked and in use and 2 new Samsung Galaxy A71 from T-mobile from one of the last Samsung.com deals.
1. How can I get $200 Costco GC's (5 of them or maybe more)?
2. How can I get $100 port-in deals from T-Mobile?
3. What plans from T-Mobile can I sign up for: paid lines (the less price the better) and free lines?
4. Should I get Costco membership before getting to Costco's cell phone rep?
5. Will I be able to make it all go through by tomorrow's night? (have to pay for the new Cricket cycle).
Thank you and Happy Holidays!
For new accounts, if you are switching from another carrier, there are better deals at T-mobile (online and in-store).

Depending on which phones you currently own, you can get good deals on trade-in and getting new phones.

$100 port-in promotion will stack with the carrier switch over deals.

Please visit a T-mobile store to find out what's the best deal you can get for the 5 lines (plan + phones)

How about the rebate control number. Is that specific to you? Man it suck's even the reps aren't aware of the deals
Yes, the rebate control number is specific to the person/transaction. It gets printed with the rebate redemption form.

The rebate redemption form states that the Control number cannot be duplicated.

The promo code is same for all, but the control number is unique.

The reps should be adding a new line, BYOD IMEI, etc, and the system generates and prints the rebate redemption form. The rep gave the printed form which had all the information - promo number, control number, purchase date, IMEI number of BYOD device, activated permanent phone number, and Kiosk number. I came home and submitted the rebate after inputting all that information.

no. monthly don't go up.
I already seeing on my t-mobile account as "2020 Line on Us 3"

i have t-mobile ONE, 12th line... thus NO Taxes/Fees.
sweet!
now just need to wait until Nov 2021 and figure out how to move existing line on top of the FREE lines. aka, port-out and port-back-in since now "2020 Line on us 2" and "2020 line on us 3" i'm certain were added at Line-level, not account-level Frown sucks.

my "2020 line on us" #1 was added at account-level.

anyone can share a light, what is the cheapest to port-out t-mobile and port-back in? i need to keep my permanent numbers. but don't need the FREE line # yet.
How do you know if it is account level?
