Some of the Trade in Values are much less this time (XR down to $250 and iP11 down to $350). . .some are higher like $640 for Galaxy S21 trade in. Perfect if you got the XR cheap 2 months ago, traded in for clearance S21, which can be traded in + $60 for an iP13. Can't trade the S21 on the base iP13 mini as TIV exceeds phone purchase price, but you could do it on the 256GB version.
The $640 Trade in Value on the S21 is as big a deal as the $100 off the iPhone.
And the $640 TIV seems good towards most TMO phones over $640, i.e. S22 line, Pixel 6
EDIT: $640 TIV is only for $128GB of S21. 256GB version fetches only $420.
QA Note: The $640 is only for the Black S21 color. The other colors are $420

So $250 is more than what I paid for the phone but if you compare it to what was offered before it's ridiculously low now.
It started at 390, then dropped to 360, now it's $250, so it's hella low compared to the historic high.
I bought multiple phones at $121 but didn't trade them all at the time, I don't need that many 13s and I'm not reselling them.
I'm holding my extra XRs for other trade-in deals.
S21 deal was pretty decent however I already have a Pixel 6 Pro as my daily driver, and androids don't hold their value as well as iPhones. So if I'm going to buy a phone to play around with and hold, I rather get an iPhone since it won't lose as much value in the long term.
But either way, it's good that the 100 off promo is back at BB, but for me I'll wait for better trade-in values before I get anything lol.

This Mastercard we can request on any address or it need to be only on Costco card holders address?
Darn BB deal was way better, I took so long to decide and buy.
Last night placed order in Best Buy website, selected black even though I had the graphite one. went today to pickup, picked the device and the person with blue shirt at cellphone section helped me, took the S21 and handed me over the blue iPhone 13. It seemed like they didn't care about colors. if you have graphite, go ahead and do it from online and go to the store to pickup.
If you have a different color, I guess you can also go there and try to get this.

TIV is $700, which puts me at $99 + tax for an iPhone 13 256gb.
If I do this deal through Best Buy, can I pay the remaining balance up front & through Best Buy without having to deal with any T-Mobile aspect of it?
I spent 6months in 2021 having TMo correct my billing (through T-Force) after a botched upgrade, so I'd like to just get the TIV for my current device, apply it towards a new phone, and pay off the balance immediately at Best Buy.
Thanks in advance !
Last deal
iPhone SE (2nd Gen) Up to $340 -> and then $330
When I decided to go trade-in on the last deal, it had just expired...
But the last sale did go for a quite a while though

I wouldn't do the BB deal as it is now though. $250 TIV is too low for your iPhone XR. I think you can do better in other upcoming deals.
If you don't mind bill credits, you can also do the trade-in directly with Apple. Apple is offering $200 immediate TIV for iphone XR. If you activate with Tmobile, you also get $200 bill credits spread over 24 months. So that's a total of $400 value for your XR. Currently Apple sells the iphone 13 for $800. You can ask them to price match with BB, they will only allow up it 10% discount... so it will come out $720. The price match is not an official policy they publish but I've done this 5 times in the past year and always worked after chatting with customer support. YMMV. The good thing about Apple is all iPhones they sell are unlocked. So no need to request unlock after you receive the phone.
edit: forgot to answer your other question... you can pick any name or address for the Mastercard. it will be sent via link that will be texted to a Tmobile phone number of your choice under your family plan. I usually just immediately transfer the funds to my bank account (takes 2-3 business days to process, it's free) so I don't have to worry about how to spend it.

Thanks for the data point.
I called my BB store mobile desk and let them look up my order, they're able to see the order and couldn't see the trade-in item details, not even able to confirm the trade-in item is S21.. weird. Seems I have to drive there and try out in person.
Anyone else had similar issue with me (not a T-mobile customer, but want to take advantage of these deals within 90 days)? What is the correct way to do this? Reactivate the account, adding a new line through T-mobile first, or I can't do anything right now? Thanks.
