Any one have fine print of the trade in rules? I remember seeing no cracked screen, no battery swelling and no overheating as requirements.

I entered iPhone 3GS as trade in device after verifying it still boots up, no cracked screen etc. Powered the device off and put it aside last week. However, yesterday I plugged it in to charge before shipping and its now stuck in the apple boot logo. Is it worth the risk to trade it in? Or better to return iPhone 15Pro and do Boyd? Went to Verizon store and the guy said I can trade it in and showed me IMEI in the sim slot and they'll accept it.

Understand, I'll lose $250 Costco gift card, but the Samsung phone I have works on Verizon as well

Update: called vzw customer service. They mentioned the terms for this "particular deal" only require 1) no swollen batteries 2) no over heating and 3) no activation lock. Doesn't matter if the phone doesn't power up. They put a note on my account and emailed me that they'll accept it, if it meets above criteria.
No activation lock? Does it mean blacklisted? I have one which still locked with AT&T, will I be ok?

The deal is active again. Last night I traded in two iPhone 4, an iPhone 5, and an iPhone 6 for and got a $830 credit per phone with Ulnlimitd plus. Or get $1000 per phone for Unlimited ultimate or $415 per phone for Unlimited welcome. Also $250 per line Costco gift card. You also get Verizon $200 credit per line for ultimate or plus plans (not welcome). I added a 5th welcome line and got a free iPhone 14 without any trade in, You also can add on the apple tv deal for ultimate and plus lines.
I like to see your order form. Anything under iPhone 7 at Costco said disposal only when I went there twice.

On 11/2 Verizon changed to "any Apple phone trade-in. Any model, Any condition". On Friday 11/3, I went to a Verizon store first to confirm my trade-in phones were valid. I then went to the Costco Verizon kiosk to place the order to get the additional 5x250=$1250 Costco gift cards as an extra bonus. I am trading in 2 iPhone 4s, an iPhone 5&6. All the iPhones were in good shape and could be turned on. As soon as the deal went through I was emailed four shipping labels to ship the iPhones to Verizon. If the deal doesn't work, I will post an update later.

I keep going back and forth on this deal....

Seems like my best bet is unlimited plus since I don't need all that hotspot data.

I currently have 4 lines with Tmobile.

Anyone know if there is a limit on the lines to get the $1k/$830 deal? I'm thinking of adding my uncle to this deal so it would be 5 lines on unlimited plus and get $830 back on 5 lines. I'm just not sure if the max promo is for 4 or more lines qualifying for $830

Why $42/line and not $45?
For 5 lines I believe it drops even lower, 45 to 42

So looks like it can be mix and match on the plan between the lines, but the price is based on the total of lines on the account. Ex. 4 lines account with 2 welcome, 1 plus and 1 ultimate will be 2*$30+$45+$55= $160 before tax&fee.

So I went to Best Buy to port out for a family member, single line from Tmobile to Verizon.

Rep said all the promos are not done in store. They did not take down any of the information for my trade in device. Is this accurate?


Edit: I see it says :
Go to www.vzw.com/tradein, sign in, and follow the instructions to submit your trade-in.
Trade-in offer is fulfilled via Verizon.


I was worried because back when I did a Tmobile deal they took the trade in device at the time of the transaction

How long do the phones stay locked for?

Verizon is horrendously expensive but if you can stack with other discounts, maybe sell the phones if you don't need them it might offset the math

Were these new lines, or upgrades on existing Verizon lines? Also, do you know if the phone has to be able to be turned on?

trying to sum up the deals, am I correct in the following?

- Costco $250 gift card (only if done at the kiosk?)
- Verizon $200 gift card (submitted after purchase?)
- Apple 4K TV + 6 months of Apple One (on the top two unlimited plans)
- $1000 trade in (on the top unlimited plan)

How can you tell which Costco services which phone company? Our local store in Pennsylvania only sells T-Mobile these days.
That we're able to locally choose which service they wanted to offer in store. Just called customer service line and ask.
