Last Promo I did with One Plus N200 has the Promo code on it.

Should this Promo Code P038 or 2022 UMTS Apple Upgrade P1 appear on the Return Shipping Label?

Mine only stated: Trade Details - (Make & Model) - Apple iPhone 4s 16GB White - Generic

So, I used the in-app chat and it went a little weird:

1) It took >2hrs to complete the transaction.
2) The CSR asked for my SIM card number (ICCD) and said "I see this number/sim is connected to a Samsung S22 Ultra" which was the phone it was in before the iPhone 4S.
3) I sent a screenshot of the Tmo app showing that number (and sim) was connected to the iPhone 4S.
4) Dude said I qualified for P038 to which I said "awesome" and we went through the "this is how much you should expect it to cost"
5) I summarized the transaction with:
5a) I qualified for the P038 Promo
5b) I purchased an iPhone 11 64 GB for $499 on a monthly EIP over 24 months
5c) I will send in my iPhone 4S and receive $430 in trade-in credits over those 24 months
5d) I've also paid xx.xx which covers taxes on the iPhone today
which the rep agreed to.

My question at this point is:

When did you get a confirmation that you qualified for the P038 Promo? I've already received texts that I placed an order, accepted the iPhone 4S trade-in as $0 (and hope that the P038 promo attaches after), etc. I'm hoping maybe the CSR was able to DIS-associate the S22U from the SIM and associate the 4S to it so it will properly connect the promos.

How did you guys start the chat in T-mobile app? 4S or iphone 5 are too old to even install the T-mobile app. I installed the app on a different phone so I could start the chat, and CSR said they don't see qualifying device even tho I have 4S activated on my line for over 24 hours and clearly shows it when I log into my account. I'm now stuck.

I mean, you can install the Tmobile app on pretty much any newer smart device. I was using my S22U to talk to Tmo chat but had my sim in the 4S. As mentioned above, I took screenshots showing the 4S is on the line along with the IMEI on that line. I don't actually KNOW if the P038 promotion has attached to my account, but I certainly hope it has!

Ok thank you, that's what I thought. However there's a chance by installing the T-mobile app on a different phone might have registered that phone in their system instead of my 4S. I'll try to contact T-force see if they could help correct that. It's a long shot now it seems.

I started with the chat about the promo p038, and they had to look it up for like 10mins before they responded to me. They said I qualified, then they asked me about the device

He said 72 hours for the promo to switch over. Skeptical at this point, but will let it ride for now since I have second rep doubling down on getting me the promo.
Just curious, since it is about 72 hours later, did your account ever get manually switched to 2022 UMTS Apple Upgrade P1 as T-Force promised, or is it still showing the incorrect P7 promo?

i chat with CSR on app. They told me Apr 9th is the cutoff, if no record on file by then, no luck.
it is all automatic.
not sure if that is true. but sounds like the case.

So no luck for me.
