Up to 830 is because if you buy 12mini it will have trade in credit or only $730 and not $830 and it you buy 12pro or pro max then you will only get $830 and rest will be on you. That's what upto $830 means so yes iPhone 8 will get you upto $830 depending on the device you choose
Where is Costco? They use to have similar deal as Tmobile but not lately. Wonder if we didn't kill the golden goose by canceling "new line" after getting the rebate.
For those of you trying to get a phone from SWAPPA like a iPhone 8 or S9 series, make sure you do order from an individual seller where the item/images clearly display the listing number.

In that case it's a unique listing offer and the IMEI will be displayed on the sales page right after your purchase. If you order good quality or spend $10 more for mint you should be golden. Once purchased on the sales page you will see the serial number (IMEI):

If you order from an enterprise seller with generic images and none displays the unique listing number the IMEI will NOT show up and you may have to wait until they are back in the office on Monday and the deal could be over.

IDK what to tell you. You linked to a Reddit thread that not only doesn't say what you claim ("you would not be able to apply any new offer to the line you used to upgrade, without losing your current trade-in promo credits. " , vs. your claim that refers to trading the phone), but also has a bunch of replies that disprove it. If you search that page, there's no mention of IMEI at all.

So maybe get your facts straight first?
you need to read what i've posted before, and I linked the reddit just so you can debate in there. and I injected my response from my own experience of the same scenario that there was a guy asking me the exactly same thing that i've done before. and yes I didn't learn about the IMEI in the thread, when have I said I got it from the thread? think before you talk please.

If you have two lines and two EIPs. Can you add a new EIP through this promo without adding a line?

Just called into TMO do this promotion. Deal is active now via call in. No local stores had Purple iPhone 12 in stock but they are available via call-in. New phones to arrive 2 business days.

Was able to do 2 (paid off) good condition phones. Existing customer with older (6 line) Simple Choice North America Plan - did not have to add a line.
Compared this Mothers Day Promo to just "upgrading" on the account and it appears the Mothers Day Promotion is a better way to go (it was confusingly explained to me as to why promo was better but no real price difference though as you still get the $830 credit less trade-in value).

So I traded an iPhone 8 Plus 64GB:
$830 Credit - $99 (Estimated Trade in Value) = $731 promo credit / 24 months = $34.59 installment plan - $30.45 monthly bill credit for 24 months = $4.45 per month will be due. Was able to get shipping and "$20 Payment Support Fee" (whatever that is) waived after pressing CS agent.

Also traded an iPhone 11 64GB:
Similar deal with higher trade in value (not sure what he trade in will be doesn't really matter as whatever the trade value is - the difference is given in monthly credit to reach the $830 total).

Tax was $49.80 per phone. Not charged until new phone ships.

So you DO NOT get an $830 Trade In Value for your old phone.... you get the usual low trade in value BUT they make up the difference with monthly credits to equal the $830 - convoluted.
Are you saying you have done the existing customer promo or did you add a new line ?

Guys anyone looking to buy iphone 8 for this trade-in deal?
Just saw Boost mobile selling reconditioned iphone 8 for $149..That's the cheapest option I could find online.
eBay ,Swappa, FB marketplace are all around 175-200 for iphone 8 in mint condition
Kindly share if you are aware of other options.
You're going to need the IMEI number of the iPhone 8. If this promotion only runs this weekend, it means buying a phone online isn't going to work because you'll probably not receive the iPhone 8 before this promotion ends. So this likely rules out the Boost iPhone 8 unless that offer is available from a local store. With Swappa, you should be able to get the IMEI from the seller once you purchase the phone.

I got the A71 5G during the last free line promo with anticipation of using it here so it's on the 24 month promo itself. Can I pay it off, have bill credits continue coming in and then trade it in for the free iPhone 12?
The way it was explained to me, verified on reddit and listed on t-mo website is.... once you pay off the phone, the promo becomes a line level promo and a new phone can be purchased with a new (elegable) promo. There is no limit to the number of line level promos you can have.

You do not lose the promo unless you drop the line it was/is attached to.

Many people have stacked promos this way and have 3+ phone credit promos on the same line, this is normal.

I have seen an account with paid off phones and stacked promos that will not have to pay a monthly service fee for 14 or so months.

It's upto 830$. Don't think iPhone 8 will get 830 off.
it must be your 1st time to do trade-in. iPhone 8 will be about $80. then they will give you another $750 promotional value. total is $830.

No new line needed - just the mothers day promotion is what I asked for and what I apparently got.

my T-Mobile online account showed "upgrade available" for these same phones & I inquired if the Mother Day promotion was a better option and was told "yes, definitely" (they explained why and it sounded right but was totally confusing so i just trusted the rep was right).

I have 2 iPhone X's might trade up. For me it's been the same crappy deal for months have visible now and speeds are at a snails pace
I think I'm going to hold out on trading up my two iPhone XS Max handsets. I'm hopeful those still have plenty of residual value for the next "free" deal (perhaps on the upcoming Apple and/or Samsung releases later this year?). However, I think this deal is good enough for me to pull the trigger on trading my iPhone XR.

Good luck!

If I took advantage of the last iPhone promotion on 3 lines, can I take advantage of this one as well, as long as it's on different lines?

Worst timing ever! Lol just took advantage of the promo that ended last Saturday - wonder if I can cancel
If you haven't sent in your old trade-in phone yet (no way to get it back) then it's worth a shot. Bring it back to a retail location, be prepared for a possible time consuming, painful interaction with the store rep and hope for the best.

Jesus Wave RU for real? Have been told many things by T-Mobile regarding confusing promos over the years, etc and they all came through. Worst case you call and bitch and they fix it. Man how do some people get by in life sweating every small detail - you gotta trust someone at some point to get by in life.
