I have 6 lines on Magenta (2 paid and 4 free). If I add 2 lines (BOGO) and cancel both line after getting costco cash card, will it affect my original 4 free lines?

Today I added two new lines to my existing T-Mobile account = $20/mo./2 lines x 3 mos. = $60.
Then, my husband and I opened separately 2-line/account Unltd. 55+ = $70/mo./2 lines x 3 mos. = $210 for my husband + same $210 for me.
Summary: Costs $60+$210+$210=$480.
CSC $1800-$480=$1320 Net!!!

I went to Costco to add couple lines. They asked to bring the phone to add the lines as people are doing fraud by faking IMEI. I think this is not everywhere but anyone had same experience?

I heard about this from the last promotion $200. So it's possible they're doing it again.

This is postpaid only? I'm wondering if their $15 prepaid plan might qualify. I just want to run away with the rebate lol - completely shameless.
Only postpaid plans

If only 2 lines per account, I am not sure why it's a good deal. You have to pay$90+tax per month for 3-4 month waiting for a $600 costco card.
This is a good deal for existing customers because adding a new line is only $20/month and get one free, and get paid $600.

They said can't do it now without phone. He did all the previous offer without phone for me.

Did anyone have a problem with the rep not being able to print out the rebate forms? The manager came over and said that happens quite often and was gonna submit it manually. I'm feeling uneasy about it.
I had the same problem. Rebate form printed for one line and not for the other. They have escalated the issue and asked me call them in couple of days

Went for 1 line seeing this post. Costco rep told abt bogo and added 1 free line.

Answering some frequent questions I read here to help ppl:
1. BOGO and 300 cash card can be combined.
2. He gave 2×300 rebate form so $600 for me.
3. Simple choice plan which is usually not eligible for recent free line deals but this one worked
4. IMEI were auto generated on their system. I took one device with me but he said not needed.
5. Took 5-10 minutes. Faster than prior experience.
6. Need to keep lines until rebate card comes. If I cancel one after that , then as per rep chances are free line will become paid.
7. Bogo not mentioned in documents but he verified in the account and confirmed one line added free.
8. No hard check to add lines. Only last 4 of ssn and account pin needed.
9. Sim cards and tmo line activation is free at costco.
10. Its for voice lines so can't be used on tab or watch. he suggested I can try converting paid line to watch digits after rebate and keep free line.

if a mod is reading plz see if u can add details to post. might help a lot of ppl asking these questions I guess.

Nice! That's slick.
For the new accounts, did they do any hard pull on credit-report for either of you?
