Order online myself without any issues
But I see that the promo is still available on my account. Turns out I can use any of my lines for this promo. Don't have any more old iPhone to trade in though.
What else do I need to do after new phone is delivered?
Also on a different topic, can I give the new phone (after activation) to a family member? I don't really need to upgrade my device yet. Asking because the new phone is "supposed" to be activated on my line.
BTW, putting your sim in the 5s will not trigger the deal on your account automatically anyway if it is not already targeted in the T-Mobile system.
If your account is not targeted, you would have to try the call-in route. You would have to find a call-rep who is willing to process the order under the p038 promo, then jump through the hoops to have the promo post correctly to your account after the new iPhone is delivered.
I am on the phone again to figure out what went wrong. Just be sure to double-check and have the agent add notes into your account that you are eligible for the promo.

Technically you can give the new phone to someone, but it is locked to T-Mobile, so they would have to be using T-Mobile service too. Unlocking requires 40 day wait and paid off in full per T-Mobile policy.
That being said, I would NOT do any of the above immediately. Leave the new phone active on your line that you used to do the promo. Wait two bill cycles before paying it off or giving it away for someone else to use on a different line or different account. Make sure the P1 promo shows up correctly, bills correctly, and sticks on your account for at least two billing cycles.
If that all works correctly, you're in the clear, and then do whatever you want with the phone. It will still receive monthly bill credits even if you pay it off, unlock it, and give it away.

Good luck everyone, This offer should end in a couple of days. I wonder what T-mobile is going to do with users who do not upgrade.

I took the plunge today - fingers crossed that Promotion (P038) gets applied correctly, even though I wasn't originally notified via text or could find an official "offer" on my account at T-Mobile's website. I've had a qualifying iPhone 5 on my one of my T-Mobile lines for over a week now, but that didn't trigger any notification from T-Mobile. I used "chat" feature of the T-Mobile App to request assistance with ordering an iPhone using Promo P038. The agent took some time to research the promo, asked me to send screen shots of the promo and asked me to verify details of my trade-in iPhone. Then the agent responded - "Thank you - You are qualified for this promotion. Let me go ahead and process this trade-in."
