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).

Well, in all honesty, Apple is in a position where they can so everything wrong and would still walk away unscathed because fans and media would still find ways to justify their #courage
Yep. Apple puts the cart before the horse once again. "In a perfect world" eSIM would work. Just astounding to read Apple fanboys adamantly defending Apple once again. US iPhone 14 users will pay good money to become alpha testers of the "no choice" eSIM setup, and have to deal with all the problems that won't be resolved for years, if at all, with eSIM. I'm completely happy with my 12 Pro, but unless Apple wises up and/or the foreign phones also lost the SIM tray, eventually my 12 will be obsoleted by software.

Quote from starcaptor :
27+year member of Costco (pre-merger with Price Club). Ill accept your challenge.

They cost more for things without a a brand-name. Ie: ACTUAL GROCERY. These are either 1:1 comparison, or the other store is actually higher quality

Milk is cheaper at Aldi ($3.69 for half gallon organic, vs $10.99)
Eggs are cheaper at my Asian grocery store ($2 gets you organic at other places)
Seasonal fruit is cheaper at my local supermarkets (esp apples of every variety)
Bananas are MUCH cheaper at Trader Joes (19 cents each vs 48 cents a pound)
The beef is higher quality (prime), however their chicken is too expensive for quality thats not stand out. You can do better than $1.49 a pound for whole chicken if you shop elsewhere casually.
Vitamins cost less via Puritan's Pride
Name-brand bread (wonder bread, etc.) cost more at Costco than at local supermarkets when considering the non-stop promos. English muffins especially

I run a small business and need alot of paper, tape, staples, etc. Those are not cheap at Costco. Their ink just sucks, period. However, they do have cheap pens when coupons come around.

Anything off-site and promoted by Costco (solar panels, blinds, water filtration, etc.)are not cheaper. Esp true for the blinds when they gave me an estimate

I have a toddler, with a second kid on the way, and while I still love Costco for their monthly promotions, those are usually for DISCRETIONARY things which just dont resonate with me as much since I no longer shop just for myself.

Yes, spaghetti sauce, ice cream bars, clothing, detergent, frozen food, etc can be cheaper there. But when you cook from scratch using grocery ingredients, those dont really add upto be a value.

The exceptions are diapers, formula, and the rotisserie chicken, which are MUCH cheaper at Costco. They got alot of my business during the infant years.

Nowadays, I muse over the possibility of cancelling my membership and sharing one with my parents. Their main pros:
- Stuff costs (mostly) the same regardless of supply issues
- Return policy. Nuff said here.
- Their "treasure hunt" deals for random (but very desirable) nonsense.
- CPG stuff and frozen goods (as you mentioned in passing...stuff like Tide, big-name snacks, junk food, chicken nuggets, etc.)
- Not ironically...cell phone deals, mainly because of the quick turnaround for the whole rebate, vs 24-36 month reimbursement. Free sim card (once upon a time) was nice. However, the lines are ridonk.

However, you get to an age where you just dont need anymore hard drives, sound bars, vibrating massage chairs, etc.
Regarding the gas...the advantage does exist, but its a bit of a wash because the line at certain times of the day can be 15 minutes or longer. Time is money. I actually go to Sam's club for gas in the rare situation that I need to...equally cheap and no one is there lol. But I dont need gas for one of my cars...and my daily uses very little if at all...

In short, Id recommend that you dont gaslight other SDers just reflecting on their experience. It is intellectually dishonest to call someone a liar, and then say right after that exceptions exist.
Very well said

So if I BOGO but only add one line, the second phone can be unlocked right away without activation with t mobile?
They will activate it before handing it over to you
Some reps do let you walk away w/o unsealing it

I still have confusion if BYOD stack over BOGO for three lines. Lets say you purchase two BOGO for $300 each promo. Can you add a third line next day for BOGO coz that gonna make one of the BYOD comes with both BYOD and BOGO offer. Do I need to add two more lines for BOGO and BYOD to stack?
I want to know the answer too

Terrible deals .
Costco deal requires add a line. It is a pain to add ,pay for service for 2-4 months until gift card arrives and cancel again.
T-Mobile deals require plan change to magenta max. Ripoff.
I thought Costco deal doesn't force you to enroll in any particular plan?
