Yeah....t-mobile deals not as good as last year.

So, my calculation for two phone 14s this year is:
Phone 1 = $719.99
Phone 2 = $719.99
Taxes $86.40 (6% sales tax)
Total = $1,526.38
Rebate = $630
Total = $896.38

If you assume 3 months of $20 per line plans ($180 total), your total out out pocket for two unlocked iphone 14 is $1076.38 (or $538.19 each).

I read through the whole thread and have two questions:

[1] If the store does not have what I want, can I still take advantage of this offer?

[2] Does this work on Simple Choice Business account? I remember the kiosk staff having trouble access my business account a couple of years back, and would like to know if things have changed.

Thanks!
Business accounts cannot be upgraded at costco. I know from personal experience!

I love Costco but their mobile section is just annoying. I remember trying to get a similar deal for the 12. Most cases they didn't have any phones and even the time people who worked at the kiosk was super random.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank whodiini

One edit of OP's post - the rebate is the lower of $630 or the lower of the cost of the 2 phones. I got bit on this last year.

So if you get a 14 pro max and a 13 mini, you dont get $630. You get the cost of the 13 mini as the rebate, which is $539, so you get $539 back, not $630.

Can I order this online? If 2 people are in different states, does it work still?
Unsure about online - but they don't have to know who is the 2nd line, you just gotta grab two lines but itll be ONE account and ONE person will be on the hook for the bill. Either phones are picked up or shipped to the address on the account, so the other phone will need shipped by the person as well.

Maybe someone could help. If I would try to buy 2x iPhone 14 pros. Activation of 1 line is enough (I understand cheapest t mobile plan is like 20$/ month). Can I unlocked both phones after I bought them to transfer my AT&T eSIM or do I need to wait a certain time?
Activation of 1 line is enough for this deal nomally. But you need to to activate the phones on tmobile, then wait a short amount of time before requesting an unlock. If I recall, it was 1 full billing cycle, which could be up to 2 months. To activate the phones on Tmobile you need a tmobile line. If you already have a tmobile line, then you need to transfer the sim to the new phones esim, then transfer it back. It was a whole lot easier when they had SIM cards.

After reading the whole thread, it looks like this deal is geared more towards EXISTING T-Mobile customers. Otherwise, the cheapest plan you can get is $90/month for 2 lines ($45/month each line).

What does "new line" mean by the way? Is a port-in (from a T-Mobile MVNO like Tello) considered a new line? I'm a little confused by the "new line" requirement.
New line means a new service with Tmobil, port in from another service provider like Tello is a new line.

When did Costco start providing warranty on cell phones?
Costco return policy is 90 days.
There's no additional warranty. You need to buy square trade or apple care.
This is how my last purchases at Costco were.

So I'm on a senior plan ($35/month) and want to get two 14 pros. Could I benefit from this slickdeal while keeping the same numbers?

Last year I submitted for the BOGO rebate on 11/29/2021 and received the virtual MasterCard in mid January 2022 (so about 7 weeks). I immediately cancelled the extra line at this time.

The $300 BYOD Costco cash card rebate takes longer to receive (12-14 weeks).

https://membershipwireless.com/tmobile-iphone THIS LINK Says: If you have canceled lines in the past 90 days, you may need to reactivate them first.

1. If you cancel, How can you get it unlocked after 90 days?
2. If we cancel the new line, are we not charged for the phone as per the contract?

Tempted to do this deal... i have 4 line, but rarely use line #4... so i can add one more line #5, wait until the rebate payout then cancel line #4 and keep line #5... since we are not dealing with 24 month payment plan i think it OK to cancel either #4 or #5, and the phone can be unlock after 40 days of usage right? thanks!
The only issue now is I want 14 Pro 512GB but limit inventory
