The fine print says minimum qualified plan is 75/mo. That's where they get you with these "free deals" - locking you in at high monthly rate for 3 yrs.

Quick math assuming you are ok with Visible/Mint at $30/mo - overpaying by $45/mo for 36=$1620, that's what you are paying for the "free iphone".

If you live in an area which has good coverage then better buy an unlocked phone and get a carrier of your choice than getting robbed by these guys for 36 months.
I have an unlocked phone & pay $20 per month for service. Can't be happier.

How does the att billing credit work if you're already on the billing credit?

I traded in my iPhone 11 to get 13 pro with 1000$ credit, so I still have a year left.

Can I trade in my 13 pro and get 15 pro with another $1000 credit? It's still locked.
You will lose that one year left credit since you are starting a new $1000 credit for the new phone on your line. Not worth it. Finish the installments and wait for next year/

Be careful with ATT representatives in Costco! They say a lot like will give discounts and take x amount off but then never honour it. Even if they say something they don't put in the contract and you don't end up getting the discounts.

Going through Costco you still can get the $1000 bill credits with trade in in addition to the $100 Costco Shop Card and $5 bill credits for 10 months.
Is the $100 shop card in the warehouse only? I heard you only get $25 instead of the $100 shop card on the costco website. Unless you are opening a new line.

$1000 (Device Cost)+
65 (Taxes in NJ) +

$720 ($30 Monthly Unlimited with 20GB hotspot for 24 months )
$45 (1.88 per month regulatory and taxes per line )

-$400 - Device credits
-$100 - visa Gift card thru 9/21)

Note:
Need another line from Xfinity that costs $15 per month and can get a free $300+ mobiles..
If you don't need unlimited, you can save $720 on total but need to share 1GB ..

$45 - 1 GB + 1 Unlimited

Probably a big YMMV. Do it at your own risk.
I wonder if switching phone, but not upgrading will discontinue the credit. Seems like the people on the thread kept using the same phone after paying it off.
My credits started with the 12 pro and switched to the 13 pro and paid it off right away then got the 14 pro and did the same before the credits ended.

Not one person that I read ever said their credits stopped, the threads were always full of people saying they were told they would stop.

I thought it was both. I always go in store because it doesn't take too much of my time and I want the workers to have the sales to keep their jobs.

I have not gone through the process yet. How does AT&T verify that I am an existing Costco member? Do I need to provide Costco member number or login?

Create a costco online account or go into a costco warehouse with a AT&T kiosk to do your transaction.

Quote from papertrader :
Better deals ahead. There are a number of reasons why this iPhone won't be a big seller:

1) Incremental upgrade. USB-C isn't a, "must have" feature.
2) China. Apple moving production to India and the CCP placing restrictions on Apple devices for political reasons is expected to greatly reduce demand for what was 20% of the iPhone market. Whether the devices are banned outright or consumers prefering domestic alternatives for nationalistic reasons sales in China are expected to slump.
3) Health concerns. France has ordered Apple to stop selling the iPhone 12 due to radiation concerns. [france24.com] Yes, it's an earlier model, but for a younger or less tech-savy consumer the takeaway is that Apple products can be dangerous.
4) Recession expected. The inverted yield curve, record inflation and record credit card debt will not end well. The European Central bank is warning of a Global Recession [arabnews.com] later this year.
For being a "trader" you seem to know nothing about the market, lol recession ahead, mmmkay cnbc been towing that line since august 2022, they've really got a good understanding of markets
