Done is done, time will tell what happens. But my $0.02 would be that DO NOT CANCEL line, as that would get messy with future promotions/free lines added in the past. If it feels better, don't submit the Costco $100 rebate. Let us know, how it works out.

In my opinion, and not trying to scare you; but if these promos are indeed non-stackable, then most likely it would work like other non-stackable promos i.e. other promo would take precedence and free line promo would fall off the account.

Lastly, I am a Costco member, did BYOD & free line deal in NOV at Costco; but this time decided not to do at Costco for two reasons 1. Although everyone including TM agents confirmed that it's 2020 Line on Us 4, none of us can see that in the account, everyone is seeing doubling promo value of Us 3, so no one really knows, what will happen, once bills started generating; 2. I trust OP than rookie TM agent, because the deal was posted here in advance, and even on the deal start date, most of the TM agents were turning down the people, saying you don't qualify because you added in Nov.

So I asked twice and both times T-Force confirmed the Costco BYOD $100 works... but I don't trust them (it's crazy how I trust "random" Slickdealers vs T-Mobile recognized employees!). See attached for the screenshot.

One Plus Promo was a PR punch in the face to VZ who back in early 2017 did not (yet) tier their plan offerings by streaming video type, so TMO has to match it by also giving HD video for free as an add-on. This is the One Plus Promo.

They lowered the price of "actual" One Plus to $5 in mid 2017, then raised it back to $10, and finally made it $15 again in subsequent quarters.

When One was remade into Magenta, TMO has not had to have such a stunt done to match competitors, so it doesnt have this benefit.
Whatever. I don't care and have never paid for the full One Plus add-on. I just don't want to lose the promo on my account. 😃

The last time I went in store to add the free new line, they charged me an activation of $30 for a SIM card. Does this sound right, or did I get scammed?

Yes. Correct. Unless the waive the fee. If you have an old TMO SIM card they can use that and don't have to provide you a new SIM card and it might be free.

They can wave the $20 assistance fee, but rarely do in person. The SIM card is always $10.

So yes, that's correct.

Before I ask Tforce if anyone knows let me know.

Can Tforce switch numbers between the lines? I would like to move my wife's number to the new free line (as this doesn't have kickback) and the new number to her current line.

I had One Plus Promo back in the days and got removed somehow in 2018. I just asked a rep to see if it can be added back, he said there's no way for him to do so. The system wont let him since it was grandfathered in promo....

Just got back from Costco .... and Costco is giving $100 shop card with this exact promo. I just added a line at Costco.

He said you can also stack this up with iphone SE 50% off deal (not on restricted promo list).

Good Luck!
Yes, I was offered the exact same thing. I just took the $100 rebate offer (BYOD) !

I called in and added this free line. The promotion shows up in the following manner.

The cost of a line for my acct is $25

For LOU3 (11/25), the break down was as following

$20 2020 LOU3 (Additional Lines)
$5 AutoPay Discount (Additional Lines)

For LOU4 (12/20), the break down is

$45 2020 LOU3 (Additional Lines).

Comments:

1) Promo stacks on top of LOU3 instead of LOU4
2) It doesn't break down AutoPay discount separately. It lumps the entire discount on top of LOU3.

Is this what others have observed? Has anyone seen LOU4 after a day or two? Thanks

Can confirm it, too. It showed now also up on my free line over night. Plus the additional international data package options which weren't visible while line changes were still pending. Love it. 😃
Great. At this rate, T-Mobile has trapped me. I'm not going anywhere.

Hi, I asked T force to help me add the free line yesterday. But my account shows "$30.00 2020 Line on Us 3 (Additional Lines)" the discount amount is not correct. What should I do?

Added new line myself online Sunday night, just got the text confirmation of the promo and the SIM shipping email this morning. Can also now see the new line on the account with the doubled 2020 line on us 3 credit amount (also got the free line in November).
