Do you have to supply the IMEI at the point of purchase? Wondering if I can just buy an iPhone on eBay and get the trade in credit without having to have the phone in hand.

For AT&T, you don't need any information about the trade-in at the point of purchase, you just do it on your own on at&t trade-in website in 30 days once you activate your new phone.

Beware of these offers. These are click baits. Lire you with "free" iPhone but nothing is free. They put you on expensive plan and tie you for 3 years "soft contract". If you terminate connection in between , you pay balance on new phone as your trade in is then taken at face value. For eg iPhone XR actual trade in is $90 say but they compensate your monthly trade in credit to Match new iPhone monthly emi. Terminate and then you end up paying new iPhone cost minus your actual trade in (90$) which you will exhaust in first 3 months btw. Take an unlocked phone on offer better

I've got your point, but for the people staying on that 'expensive' plan anyway, it's a very good deal.

Awesome deal,
Until the next year when iPhone 16 comes out & you want it!
But you cannot upgrade because you're stuck with this deal, unless you pay it off!

No, I have 3 lines, so then I would upgrade the other line.

Does Costco have iPhones in stock? Or do they ship out after you open/upgrade at Costco?

The Costco Verizon kiosks don't stock iPhones. They're simply a middleman which sends the order to Verizon on your behalf, and in turn you get the Costco shop card benefit and the longer 90-day Costco return policy. iPhone availability and stock is all the same as what you see on Verizon's website.

The estimate ship dates are very conservative. Both of my phones shipped much earlier than the estimate ship date (shipped 2 days after I ordered even though the estimate ship date was 3 weeks out)

Question about trade-in: Received phone but want to activate later due to my current prepaid plan with Mint. Can I go ahead sending in the trade-in? I don't see packing slip needed. So just throw the old phone into the pouch and give to UPS? How do we track it?

My iPhone 15 pro white model is on back order but the email receipt shows a line item for $250 Costco shop card. It showed up immediately on the tablet as they were putting together the order. They should've sent you an email copy of the entire order before you walk out

This post is correct.

Are the $250 cards at Costco for each line or account? So a new account with 4 lines = 4x $250 =$1,000?

If per line, will each of the four $250 gift cards show-up on the printed receipt?

I called and was told the $250 was per line. Therefore, 4 lines should net $1,000 in Costco credit.

Granted I have not read all 825+ posts here (got to a lot of them however). I was in Costco early this past week and noticed that the $100 shop card offer had been taken down. The $250 was still in place. I am only posting so that someone with more recent experience can comment on whether or not that $100 offer still exists.
