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 just don't understand the rational for activating a new line. I mean normal people buy a new line whenever they need one. Who would randomly need a new line on September, 16!
So Tmobile can claim they have this many active lines to get more investors?

It is a way to force customer to add more line for the discount, customer can still cancel the line after 2-3 months but TMobile can show the data to their investor that there is incensement in activation during quartly financial anouncement or soemthing
Thanks for shedding some light on this. IMO this is a shady way of doing business. I'm not willing to jump through hoops to get the discount that should've been offered to current and active customers as well.

No 14 Pros in entire LA area! They have no idea when they would recieve them! Highly doubt they would get some in stock before the deal ends!

If I remember correctly, last year, this deal was renewed many times and ran for many months. Someone correct me if this is wrong.

Doing the BYOD, do we get the 2x $300 (two lines) Costco Shop Cards right away?

If not, how many months are we required to keep T-Mobile services active before getting the $600.

Tya.

There is a calculation mistake here. How is your total spend 1526? That is including the $630 discount. You total spend should be 360 + 989 + 989 + tax. You have already taken the $630 rebate into account under total rebate.
You are correct, upfront you have to pay close to $2500

I've called around and some have the purple color of the iphone 14 pro for t-mobile in stock but that's the only color I found which I didn't want unfortunately.

If I add this line and cancel it in 3 months, does anyone know if it will affect my 5 free lines?

I currently have 10 lines on One plus promo plan with 5 free lines. Are the free line promos tied to a specific line or will they remove my free line promo if I cancel a paid line. TIA

If you miss this round, I am quite sure they will have similar or better promotion during Black Friday week just like they did every year before Smilie ... so no rush, plus there is a few bug in the current iOS

All I do is 90 days before the iPhone comes out is pay my phone off go prepaid with another company and then comeback as a new customer and get full trade value for the phone

I was using base iPhone 14 in my calculation. Hence 360 + tax + 720 + 720 + 6%

Best deal I've seen so far, for no new line, is directly from Apple and also includes T-Mobile bill credits. The good thing is they allow you to give "extra down payment" to essentially buy the phone out right.

It takes up to 14 weeks to get Costco Cash cards. Last year it took 11 week for me.

You need to keep lines active until you get the Costco shop cards,

yes your total spend then is around 1200+ tax for two iPhone 14 pro max. Sell one and keep one and its pretty good.

But the problem is that not many Costco stores have 14 pro max and deal is only valid for another 10 days.
