Just talk to a Costco vzw rep and she told me every tradein iphone has a different value. They know once they put in the order . Looks to me that's conflicting what we been reading here that iphone 6 has same value as iphone 13 or 14.
Looks like rep is wrong.

Edit: talk to another store and that rep told me any iphone 3 or higher has same tradein value. And he said I can provide IMEI later online once I am ready to ship the phone but it has to be within 30 days after I ordered iphone15.
It's different for trade-in for new lines vs. trade-in for existing lines.

I'm saying the trade-in rules (which device, how much, etc.) differs between new lines vs. existing lines.

So I am getting New lines since I am a new customer to VZW. I will tradein 4 iphone5s so I should get $830 or $1000 tradein value for each tradein phone depending upon the plan I will select like unlimited ultimate or unlimited plus.

I agree tradein values differ between new lines and existing lines.

I pay $40/mo for my verizon line. I *literally* can't save "$50/mo" with anyone else. So yes, your math is 100% incorrect.
Coming back to this...i see no option for $40 plan. Cheapest is $65 with autopay. So my initial point stands, this is a rip-off.

Just went and did the deal using an old "Go Loyalty Unlimited" plan.

The Costco rep originally did not do it and showed a $210 trade-in value for my wife's iPhone 12 and insisted the $830 was only for new plans. But, I looked on his screen and saw he didn't click on the "see available offers" (or something like that) and when we clicked on it, there were 4 offers available, including the $830 trade-in credit one. Once he applied that, it worked like a charm.

Something to be aware of!

For one, you should state "this is a rip-off TO ME" because then you'd no longer be 100% incorrect.

For two, you need to look up multi-line discounts, or "regressive pricing" and try to understand that. A single line on any wireless plan will ALWAYS be a rip-off. I have 5 on my plan, so i'm part of the highest discount they offer for multi-line plans.

My paperwork in the boxes the phones came in had the $250 shop card on them and return envelope and shipping label. Keep the boxes to ship them back in.
Thanks! I'll look out for that in the included paperwork with the phone since I never got the actual receipt at Costco.

White pro max availability is in November. How one can do the tradein within 30 days if new phone isn't arrived yet ? I think tradein need to be completed within 30 days.

OK so, I currently have 4 lines with Xfinity. I pay 60$ a month to share 10GB of data between the 4. We have gone over that ONCE in a year and only by 1 gb which cost us another 12 dollars.
What would 4 lines of data realistically cost per month ? I do have costco membership...so I guess I could potentially be porting in 4 new phones. If unlimited data for 4 lines is only 25 a month...I may reconsider Verizon.

Isn't Xfinity uses VZW network. Think VZW has an unlimited welcome plan for $30 per month each line for 4 lines and tradein credit is much lower .
Make sure you don't have to pay any penalty leaving Xfinity.

If cost is your concern, the xfinity pricing is a better deal. Verizon looks to only offer unlimited data plans and would be $30/line unlimited ($120/mo) minimum.

You pay $60/mo for shared data and probably pay $15/gig for every overage over 10gb. That's still half xfinity before overages.

Now, if you happen to leave xfinity, you have to leave their mobile service too. Factor that into your decision.

Within 30 days of receiving the phone, not placing the order.

I know Xfinity uses VZW towers do Xfinity customers get same priority as true VZW customers as far data speed and access reliability?
I never like Xfinity due to their billing and pricing once 12 month period expires. They tried to sell me Mobile services twice and I just flatly refused it. Very hard to deal with their customer service.
