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).

whats the condition for this "up to" 630 off? 630 only on the most expensive pro max and less for the rest?
or 630 off for phones priced above a certian point and less for cheaper?

the page isnt very specific.

For new T mobile customers, you can try something like this:
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
Can someone confirm that they did this either last year or this year and it works for sure?

Will it be better to swap some steps i.e.

Open a totally new line with Tmobile using a new number and get BOGO once that line is active then do the BYOD + BYOD for the other two line to get 600?

Or does it not matter?

I want to do this with less risky way of things going wrong.

I ran the numbers this approach does not better compared to the hassle of resale



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 = $630 + $630 = $1260
Total Spend = $360 + Tax + $(1526 * 2)= $3412 + Tax (on 3 phone lines)

Net Cost for 4 Iphones = $3412 - $1260 = 2152


WITH BYOD cost was 656 + TAX so = 2152 - 656 = 1496 so the two phones must be sold for this amount which is 748 each. Given new phones are 799 + tax. This is a possible sale price in a strong used market but not worth the hassle of this approach. Also including 2% costco cashback it for additional that will be just 30 bucks.

clearly im missing something but whats the BYOD everyone is talking about? how does a BYOD deal work when you want to get a new phone?

Your rebate amount will be for the cheapest phone you purchase. So the only phone that wouldn't qualify for the full $630 is the iPhone 13 mini which is $539

Thanks rushing to costco now.

Will you suggest doing BYOD + BYOD + BOGO
or
BOGO + BYOD + BYOD
order?

I have two phone lines and both are not on t-mobile.

Through Costco Kiosk you can get $300 Costco cash card for bringing your device to T-Mobile. You can do this two times on an account for $600 total.

If existing account with T-mobile, you would have to add two lines.

Thanks does this offer require opening one line only or two to get BOGO?
The deal description says one but the fineprint of the offer on costco says

Limited-time offer; subject to change. Qualifying credit, additional line (2+ total), & service required. If you have canceled lines in past 90 days, you may need to reactivate them first.

Wondering what does the total 2+ mean

So does this mean that if someone is on tmobile at all

1. They go to store do BYOD + BYOD which means now they have two t mobile line
2. Next day they went to do BOGO they will need to open additional two lines for BOGO on top of two opened in step 1 or just one?
