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.

Quote from HilariousIdea8298 :
I did a similar deal at Costco earlier this year. Trade in any Samsung Galaxy S series, working or not, and get the Ultra 23 for free with 36 monthly credits. Signed up for 4 lines and sent in 4 working phones. It has been a nightmare, with only 1 line consistently getting the monthly credit, and me having to call and get adjustments on every single bill because they don't credit the other lines. The trade-ins were sent in and acknowledged as acceptable trade ins. This has wasted probably an hour a month since March. I regret leaving Verizon, which, while a little more expensive, has never given me billing issues. I also get better reception with Verizon in my area.
I had Att bill credits of 6 months left but it just disappeared all of a sudden. Those 6 months had elapsed and I chat with a rep to get all those credits back on next bill and I just check and its already credited so maybe its more convenient to try a few months instead of every month?

Does anyone know what the expiration date is for the Costco/iPhone 15 offer? When I called Costco @ ATT, the rep told me it did not have an expiration date and could end at any time. Her answer seemed strange to me and I tried to call/ask another rep but could not get back through to them.

Much easier, I literally canceled 3 orders already. Especially since the phone is preorder right now, you can cancel without any hassle.

I was told Google Fi is not part of the promotion. Only selected carriers like T-Mobile, Verizon, Mint, etc are eligible. I may have to move my lines to Mint and then port to AT&T.
Weird maybe they think Google Voice is the same as Google Fi?

I just got $1000 for trade in for my 12 pro, $250 port in credits, and $150 Costco shop card. 24 month phone payoff as opposed to AT&T 36 month. I just switched from AT&T. Customer service was always terrible and my bill never matched what the swindler told me it would be when I signed up.
What plan did you have to sign up for? What is monthly rate?

an agent just mentioned to me that I could pay it off (have it unlocked) and not do any changes and I would still be getting the discounts.

Has anyone tried the Costco t-mobile deal? Website says $150 Costco gc + $250 prepaid visa with port in im assuming for each line. Plus their trade in value for an iPhone 4 pro is $1000 vs only $830 at AT&T. I have 4 AT&T lines/iPhone 12 pros so that's $1600 in Costco gc/visa plus $4000 trade in value… seems pretty good if not better than just sticking with AT&T to upgrade. Thoughts?

Fyi the $250 visa gc is for use only at Costco or tmobile.

Fine with me, I do tons of shopping at Costco! But why make the distinction between the $150 Costco gc and $250 prepaid visa if both need to be used at Costco… strange

Don't do this!! AT&T is shit! I did this for the IPhone 14 pro max, traded in my old Samsung for a $300 credit. Phone looked pretty much brand new……never saw a credit from returning my old phone! They can't find my phone!! Still fighting till this day!

When you say additional $250, do you mean the $100 costco gift card plus $100 bill credits or $250 one is seperate? Is it for bringing in your number?
They say I'll get the $100 Costco gift card per line plus $250 in bill credits spread out over 36 months. They called the $250 a port-in credit.

Quote from mjsmith3 :
Yes, just remember that if you trade in the phones early you lose the credits and have to pay the balance (will be more than the $/month quoted above which includes the credits)
I'm trading 12's for 15's. I already have a history of going 3 years between upgrades.
