Existing ATT 4-line acct, willing to port. Obviously, I'd like to capture the $200 per line Costco GC + $100 per line Tmo (or $150 RedBox GC) Port-In Rebate + as many 3rd line free aka '2020 Line on Us P14' as possible without some sketch 'well it might work' scenario. Here's what I got...
- Have (1) iPhone 6, (2) iPhone 6s and (1) LG G8 all paid and unlocked. Only the (2) 6s are in physical possession. I have IMEIs for all and the G8 will be a BYOD.
- I'd like to take advantage of the $380 trade-in value for the old iPhones and (3) 'Get an iPhone 12 Mini on Us' offers (it appears you are allowed up to 4 discounted devices per acct).
- I believe I have to do this with $140 Magenta 4-line Plan to get the promos.
- I am Ok with paying tax upfront and putting the $350 bal per new phone on 24mo EIPs.
- Are $10 SIM and/or $20 activation fee per line negotiable or waived it the acct is opened thru Costco? What info besides IMEIs should I be prepared to give rep at Costco kiosk?
So still fuzzy on the best way to do this, whether in steps with Costco or all at once with Costco? Does it matter?Ie. open new 2-line $120 Magenta with phones in possession, get a free line. Add two more lines, get another free line and Plan will be updated automatically to a 4-line $140 Magenta for a total of 6 lines. If done all at once you would be limited to only 1 free line for a total of 5 lines. Is that correct?
Or, open new 3-line acct, get a free line. Then add a BYOD line, get another free line. Again, updated automatically to a 4-line $140 Magenta for a total of 6 lines. Is that correct?
So... how to end up with $140 Magenta 4-line w/ 2 free lines for total (6) lines, (4) Costco $200 GCs, (4) Tmo $100 Port-in rebates and (3) Phone 12 Minis after old phone trade in for $350 ea on 24-mo EIP each? If my math is right, out of pocket cost for each iPhone Mini is $50 + tax on the $730 pre-rebate phone cost. In my case, $58 making a total OOP $108 per device.
And lastly, to confirm,
1.) Nothing in these mega threads suggest opening a new Tmo acct thru Costco will ruin or disqualify the Tmo 'trade-in', 'port-in', 'iPhone12 Mini on us' or 'free line on us' promos, and;
2.) It is best to take the temp #'s then do the port-in yourself later.
Correct?
Again, don't want to FUBAR this so another set of eyes and your comments are welcome.
Thanks much.

Thanks much.
In the meantime, still welcome additional comments because I just got off the phone w? Tmo rep who says the rebate program is NOT available if the acct is opened at Costco due to their 3rd party relationship. Rebates are Tmo program only.
Uggg, this is frustrating!
(I had no account with Tmobile and was interested in the 300$ ONLY). So only 1 line.
1. Got SIM from Costco with a new number (say NUM1) for Tmobile. I asked for Essential plan (as there is NO restriction of plan). BUT I was assigned the 55 unlimited plan for 45$ (40 with auto-pay - dont know how!)
2. Ported out GV numbers (say NUM 2). Paid 3$ (generated a new number and ported instantly) - YES google voice worked!
3. Chatted with Tmobile to port-in NUM 2
4. Filled in Costco rebate for 200 with NUM 2
5. Filled in Tmobile rebate using code 2020SWITCHP2 for 100$ with NUM 2
If both GCs comes, I could be in net 220$ (300 - 40 - 40 for 2 monthly cycle)
