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.

Has anyone successfully had AT&T add the Costco bonuses to a previous order? I ordered the Pro Max yesterday and I'm concerned if I cancel it and reorder it the delivery might be pushed back a couple of weeks.

What does that mean? Does that mean higher monthly payment?

I am on "AT&T Signature Program" thru my employer. When checking out this upgrade offer, it is not telling me I need to change my plan to unlimited, just lets me check out like that... does that seem right? Or are they just going to switch me over to an unlimited plan of their choosing?
Thanks.

I already have a pre-order with AT&T to get $830 trade in credit. Does anyone know if there's a way to have the Costco deal added on to my order? Would I reach out to AT&T or Costco? I know I could probably cancel my current order and place a new order with the additional Costco deal, but I would prefer not to because it would push back my delivery date ~3 weeks.

Quote from SlickDit :
AT&T is consistently rated just short of #1 Verizon. But to answer your question, all major carriers have an "on us" deal right now ($1000 off with eligible trade-in).I would love that, but Visible deprioritization makes it almost unusable in our area. I was hopeful and hung out for 5g but it was still shiite after that. So fam is on tmo, business plan is att with plan paid through work. I just gotta scrap for the device savings.
So the family has T-Mobile and you have AT&T. Can you comment on how the coverage/service is overall side by side. Thanks! I'm switching from AT&T to T-Mobile due to the 24 month credits compared to 36 months.

Quote from JayC3270 :
We have been with. Verizon family plan (5 family member for $180 all unlimited 5g, free disney+, apple music, etc).

I had iphone 13 pro bought via trade in. Still 7 months remaining payment and trade in credit.
Agent was able to give me pay off promo for the remaining balance ($280 ish) + waived upgrade fee $35. My current iphone 13 trade in value is $830 for upgrade. I know i will get stuck with them another 36mo but i never switched provider last 5 yr+ switch is not easy with even grandma in the family plan.

I am overall very satisfied with the promo i got. They never offered me this much credit for upgrades. Finally ordered 15 pro max 256g.
If your iPhone 13 Pro is paid off you can actually keep it but trade in another lower priced phone from eBay or wherever for $830 to make the deal even more slick.

To confirm, is trade-in not required if new lines? Looks very attractive if I can keep my current phones and get iPhone 15 Pro for free.
Quote from naazzgul :
Is anyone able to do this online for new lines / port-in with free phone offer without upgrade? Or do we need to go into the Costco store?

I tried multiple times online and I don't see the phone discount without the trade-in
Can someone answer this question? This is the most important question. The website says you have to trade in a qualifying phone.

Just say no to 36 month scam. It is much less expensive to just get a $25/mo usmobile unlimited plan and buy the phone when it goes on sale in a few months.
