why would you do any other these two?

visible has much better deal, and you get unlocked phone.



iphone 12 pro + airpods pro + $150GC + $25 chase/bofa cash back + $100 r10 cash back

out of pocket = $1104 + $65( 2 months service) -$150(sell airpods pro) -$150 (rebate) -$25 -$100 -$300 ( sell your phone online) = $444

and you need not deal with left over gift cards

Yes I did. I mentioned that in that message as well.

Like in my scenario, I bought $700 worth of Apple Store gift cards from Target total for $552 (after discounts and etc)
Trade in for my iPhone 11 $350 + $150 Tmo credit = $500

So, cost of the iphone 12 pro is $1000 - 552 - 500 = Comes down to $ -52 (Future credit for Target Store)
Total of $500 out of my pocket.


If I were to get it from Costco;
$900 for iPhone 12 Pro
$375 Trade-in total $525 Out from pocket.

It's close but Target + Apple Store deal is slightly better, forgot to mention that Apple Store iPhones are factory unlocked.

and you need not deal with left over gift cards plus this bring independent line, you can use tmobile free iphone 12 deal also.






your calculation seem to be off. let's say you can get $300 for your iphone 11 if you sell online so it's $300 cash

to get iphone 12 pro you are giving

$552(apple GC COST )+ $300 ( iphone 11) then you get back $150 in prepaid card and $50 target card

so you costs are close to $652 vs $444 in visible case

Never tried t-mobile before, but I have Iphone 8 and want 12 mini.
What's the most cost-effective plan for 1 line only? I can see on their website it's minimum 60 per line per month which would effectively eat $200 for 3-4 month while you have to stay with t-mobile.
Otherwise my mobile payments will be in the range of 50 bucks for the next 3-4 months since I work from home. Basically a loss of $150 here at minimum.

Is there any workaround for this? Can I somehow do $40 prepaid plan?
thanks!
Since there is no plan eligibility, you can convert to unlimited voice and text plan immediately after you get home. Costco rep will not be able to do it. I believe it is $30 per month with no data.

So to confirm:

I (existing member) buy an iphone 12 for $769.99+tax. Then trade in an iphone 6+ and receive a $194 credit on my bill?...and $256 (450-194) on a virtual express mastercard?

No matter what you trade in on the list, it will be a total of $450 off?
Yes, that's what the flyer says

I did that actually. Using Cricket iPhone SE deal for $50 for phone + 60 for service and -25 chase promo. Net phone cost $85, brings $220 in trades. iPhone 11 I was going to trade in is brand new unlocked in the box. I should easily get $550-600 from it
Can you please share the link for cricket deal?

Can anyone verify my scenario:

Non-t-mobile customer currently and bringing 2 iPhone 11 pro maxs

BYOD off: $200 per line with new line activation

+ $100 Shop Card: when adding a new line of service

= $600 (2 lines/2phones) for switching and not buying a new phone, correct?

Seems like a good deal if you aren't buying a new iPhone.

Lately, Verizon has got lukewarm deals compared to Tmobile. They don't have any good deals for existing customers. Hence, after almost two decades, I have left their wireless service and joined T-mobile. Am paying $120 flat for their Magenta plan and got good trade-in values for my old iPhones.

Current T-Mobile user. I traded in my iPhone 6 that was laying around (not in use), and purchased an iPhone 12. I prefer a 12 Pro, but they don't have any in stock nor do they know when they will get it in. I do not want to lose out on the trade-in promo for iPhone 6.

Suppose I get my virtural card in 8 wks. I do not plan on opening/using the iPhone 12, and I want to return it w/in the 90 days. My hope is that by then the 12Pro is available.

Can do this? Will they allow me to return the 12?

Would it affect the value i received for the iPhone 6?

Just visited a kiosk. No pro models at all. I have an iphone 6s so my I will get $194 from the credit and the gift card. To get $450 u need the higher end phones to trade in. They only have 12 mini or 12 versions.
