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).

If you have 4 lines that you want to bring on T mobile then I would do BYOD for the first two lines and then BOGO for the remaining 2 lines. You will end up with $600 Costco Cash (2 Lines for BYOD) and then 2 BOGO for each line. ($630 + $630 rebate) = 4 iPhones with 4 T mobile lines.
Sales tax is based on your state.
One $630 rebate

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
Maybe I missed something but why not do everything in one trip to Costco? I mean opening 4 lines: 2 new lines for iPhone 14s and another 2 for BYOD. The rebates will be the same and you don't have to go there twice.

Just got out of costco. Was told only 14 is available. Pro and PM won't available until mid Oct. Asked if I could buy now and ship later. Told that would be finance through TMO instead of paying off.

I was describing the case with 3 lines. If you are doing 4 lines, your cost will be $120 X 4 Months = $480 + Tax.
It all depends on How many iPhones you need on those 4 lines. You can stack BOGO devices on BYOD lines also if you do it correctly.

Quote from hoak :
Because many of us have Tmobile grandfather plans (like myself, if I add a line, it only cost me $10/month) and can cancel the new lines in 6-8 weeks after receiving the rebate. Unlike other deals, where you have to trade in another device and have the credit spread out 24mo and also keep the line the credit is on.
I do have a grandfathered SC plan too. But I have been reading online, that you won't be able to add the $10 new line to your plan anymore. They have to add a different kind of new line to your preexisting SC plan (like a new line from the essential plan). I'm concerned that advocate wireless might unintentionally upgrade all my other lines/plan and at that point you're screwed. T-mobile won't be able to revert you back to your old plan as it does not exist in their systems anymore.

as a dealer (not t-mobile), selling a handset generates 0 profit. if the dealer gives a discount on the phone itself they are increasing their expense. when you activate a line they get paid (by t-mobile) let's say $70 MRC x 3 = $210. if you are an existing customer it is probably $70 MRC x 1. the rebate card is most likely from t-mobile.
