How to check your local Wireless Advocates kiosk for inventory, assuming you have the item #. Unfortunately iPhone 13 256GB are OOS in my area but two different CostCo locations have iPhone 13 Pro MAX black and sierra blue in stock.

1) Call your local CostCo B&M [costco.com], press option 1, ask if they have item # in stock? If they don't, ask them to check the surrounding area. If you don't have the CostCo item # you could always just call the kiosk directly and ask them. If they provide you with an item # please update this wiki.
2) Assuming they say yes it's in stock and you want actual confirmation, call your local Wireless Advocates kiosk. To find their phone number, try a Google search [google.com] using your city and state.

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).
why is that a requirement always? do they expect us to make babies every year around September?

The only option I know is from their website (which includes AppleCare+).
https://www.costco.com/iphone-unlocked.html
Costco Prices with AppleCare+
14 (128GB) = $949
14 Plus (128GB) = $1,079
14 Pro (128GB) = $1,169
14 Pro Max (128GB) = $1,269
Apple.com prices with AppleCare+
14 (128GB) = $978
14 Plus (128GB) = $1,108
14 Pro (128GB) = $1,198
14 Pro Max (128GB) = $1,298

I think Apple gotta give you a reason to buy the iPhone 15.
IPhone 15 is going to have minor updates across the board and the big selling point is going to be USB C.
This phone spits out 48mp images and lightning connector is still on USB 2.0 speeds.
This is why I am waiting this one out.
I'm in no rush. Especially with the recession coming up in 2023.
1. Bring your own devices and create an account with T mobile with 2 new lines (You will be eligible for a $300 x 2 = $600 gift card)
2. Try to open this new account with T mobile essential plan. If the kiosk guy gives you hard time, open with Magneta Max. Once you walk out of the Costco store, contact T force on twitter/facebook and inform them you want to downgrade your plan
3. Wait a couple of days, go back to Costco and tell them you want to add one more line. Because you already have 2 paid lines this new 3rd line will be free. Buy Your 2 new iPhones.
3. You will receive a $600 gift card in about 14 weeks and a $630 rebase card in about 5 weeks.
Total Out of Pocket :
3 lines cost around 4 months on the essential plan - $360 + Tax
2 Iphones(14) cost - $1440 + 6% = $1526
Total Rebate = $600 + $630 = $1230
Total Spend = $360 + Tax + $1526 = $1886 + Tax
Net Cost for 2 Iphones = $1886 - $1230 = $656 + Tax
Why not do BOGO + BOGO again with 4 lines and then sell the unlocked phones later?

Do what other person above said. Do BYOD on two lines and then add third line for two new phones. You get the same thing with one line extra for couple of months which is free (only tax) and then you get additional 600

You don't need 4 lines for BOGO + BOGO. 2 lines for first BOGO then 1 line for another. Sure - You can do this as well if you can sell unlocked phones through the marketplace.
You will need to pay for two extra line for 4 months but you get 630 credit rather than 600 and then you can sell those two phones and make some money on top of it as you brought them for a price of one.
