I just chat with T-mobile Help on Twitter, and this is what they told me "You can add a line at Costco and if that's all you were doing then it would've been eligible but it if you did it for the BYOD offer then it is not eligible as that's not stackable with our free line offer, I've already confirmed these details with our Support team since we know plenty of customers were trying to take advantage of both deals." Anyone can confirm?
Update: I chat with T-mobile from my app, the agent looked at my line, my account and he said I got Costco Promo for Free Line. I'm good!

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.
Now that you have added the lines, can you partake in the deal below to trade in your phones and get the iPhone 12?

I'm basically done. Went to Costco got the free line. Tmobile chat mirrored my addons like OnePlus promo and kickback from other lines. After that was done had rep port in new number.
Now just need to submit both rebates. Kinda debating on buying a cheap S7 to trade in for free Pixel 4 tho that phone kinda sucks.

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).
Do you know if the IMEI number matters after you activate the line? I activated the line on an iPhone 8 that I was intending to use to trade-in for the iPhone 12 mini.
Apologies if these questions have already been clarified...
I'd like to go for the full combo and combine all of the following. (Please let me know if I've misunderstood, and this is not possible.)
- Free line
- Costco BYOD rebate $200
- Port-in rebate $100
- Free/half price Pixel 4a 5G
1. Which steps should/shouldn't be combined? e.g. If I open the new line at Costco, that should be inclusive of the free line, but do they also have the free Pixel offer? Or should I do that separately with T-Mobile?
2. If the port-in and Pixel offers have to be done separately from Costco, do these two need to be done together or separately, or does it not matter? Does it matter which is done first?
3. How much time is there, after opening the line at Costco today, to complete the other offers to tie it all together?

Shoot you got kickback added on? I thought they couldn't do it anymore. I have it on all my other lines. Was able to add the one plus promo without issue.
Can I bring in a device that is active on another line of mine in my account? I dont have time to run home to get the Samsung A71 right now. Or do I need a whole new device at Costco?

I've got the same question. I visited Wireless Advocates and added a new line/ported in a number from Google Voice. I've now got the rebate paperwork in front of me which states, in part: "Device must be active for at least 3 billing cycles." Can anyone speculate if the IMEI needs to be active, or do they just care about the line?

At least one person reported receiving rebate from previous $250 T-Mobile BYOD promo.
If it don't work at least the Costco card should as it doesn't even require a port.
