When I did it before, it didn't matter what device and was based on the phone number. As long as the line was still on my T-Mobile account when they processed the rebate.
They did take down the IMEI of the device a couple times during the new line registration process. But, it's a stretch for them to check if the service and device match during rebate processing. They are probably checking if the IMEI during sign-up at Costco matches whats on filled in on the rebate form.

I went Costco and did the free line. I just told them I want to add a line for the BYOD promo. The rep was really knowledgable so he was able to get it done in like 10 minute.

My question is can I port in a number today, tomorrow, or before the 30 days, for the $100 port-in? If yes, would I use the number I got from Costco or the port-in number for the $200 Costco card? I see many mixed answers on this in this thread. I know for the port-in, obviously it'll be the port-in number, but not quite sure about the Costco BYOD.

Thank you!

Edit: I forgot to mention that once I inserted the sim card, I got the welcome text from T-Mobile and I saw the 2020 Line On Us 3 on my account.
I think this is the answer everyone wants to know.

But we can come to a few conclusions right off the bat. The whole IMEI thing is silly, I don't even know why they care about the IMEI to begin with. Chances are this is red tape and the person processing the promo is just looking to make sure the IMEI coming from costco matches ​the IMEI you submitted with the promo.

As far as double dipping, my guess is that you want to port in the number AFTER youve signed up through Costco. Then, fill out both the $100 promo and the $200 promo using the PORT in number, not the original new line number.

First put sim card into your phone with submitted IMEI. Then wait for minutes to hours and you will see free on us at http://t-mobile.com/account/plan-details

I don't see this yet on my account either. . My SOC code definitely qualifies, so I'm thinking this is going to take some time to process on their end.

I don't think I'll have any issues with the IMEI. But I will port in and use the PORT-IN number for the two promotions. Thank you!

Just returned from Costco after adding five lines with ported numbers.

Last night, I bought five numbers from eBay seller ignatto for a total of $41.20. They were from Boost Mobile.

I had two iPhone 8s, two Moto e6s, and one LG V10.

Went to Costco to add the lines. They had to call TMo to change my account type, as I had a 55+ plan. Other than that, the process was smooth. I tested each line before I left.

The paperwork handed to me included five rebates to submit. Now I have to research the TMo $100 rebate process.

My monthly bill increased by $130, which I hope to pay only for a few months. For $1500, it is a small price to pay.

Anyone have experience with how long these usually take to get sent out after you send in the form?

I would say port-in number as the number shown on your plan is the permanent number

I read costco rebate form again and it clearly said "In warehourse only. This offer cannot be combined with other promotions. Device must be active for at least 3 billing cycles". Since costco $200 card is also T-Mobile rebate (just in the form of costco card), would it be risky to combine with $100 port-in rebate?

On the rebate form at my promo choice.com, it asks for wireless number. It doesn't ask for wireless number used in promo or anything like that. Just - wireless number - after name, address, and email implying it just wants the phone number used for contact info

On the printout paper they provide at Costco, everything is spelled out in detail with the parentheses. They tell you where the codes are and what they're from. "IMEI number(written above), Kiosk number(written above)".

The key point here is for "Permanent wireless number" it does NOT say to use the number associated with the promo. All it asks for is a permanent number that isn't temporary. It also adds if it's a tablet promo, then you need to use the associated tablet number. But it doesn't say that for non tablets.

So I just wrote alot of words explaining that I'm quite convinced there is no where on the printed sheets or the form we fill out that we need to submit the new number we just activated and/or will port in over

Got a new line + $200 Cash card at Costco. The line turned within minutes to "Free on us". Called and got the Pixel on Us promo. Trading S7 from eBay for $70. ~$100 l moneymaker after taxes.
Can you please give detail. I just added a line and it, as you said, shows up as free. What is the Pixel promo?

Thanks,

Did you have to specify anything about free line or TMo will automatically apply free if your plan qualifies?
Just told the guy in costco that I need a line and $200 cash card. He had no idea about anything, kept insisting that I need to have a phone and didn't know lines are tied to sim cards, not phones. He did it and on the promo for 200 wrote the imei of the phone I had in my pocket and the new phone number. Line turned to "on us" on my account within an hour or so. Had to ask for my promos to be added to it (One Plus Promo).
