Your logic is flawed because 1. you paid more than $0, 2. it's only a deal if they actually pay you $1199 to take the phone, and 3. only an idiot wouldn't exclusively always use prepaid service from Garbage Mobile, even if Verizon actually offers you value. /s

As somebody who also has been on Verizon for 3+ years and has multiple Iphone 12's (my family members don't require a new phone every 6-12 months), I actually don't mind this deal. My only concern is that I'll lose my previous generation of unlimited plans (Do More, Play More).
That's my exact issue, too. Each plan goes up $5 per month

Anyone purchased the IPhone 14 Pro at Costco with the Welcome Plan? It's free when I do it online but Costco is only giving partial credit. I think around $540. Doesn't say it's an online only deal on Verizon site so not sure why it's reflecting in their system. This deal is without trade in

I was actually gonna and ask about this specific offer but when I finally went in to my local Costco I found out the Verizon kiosk was now AT&T. Also, all the 14 pro's show out of stock for me on the Verizon website except for the gold color. Hopefully Victra has separate stock from Verizon proper.

It seems they use the same inventory as Verizon online. So only the Gold color was available to purchase but it wasn't reflected as being free in their system for the unlimited Welcome plan. I believe I had to select the higher tier plans to get it for free. l did see several others post regarding Verizon kiosks being replaced, hopefully you can find another one within a reasonable distance.

Oh ok. I think I misread your initial reply and yeah what a bummer. If the discount is not reflected on their system and they share the same stock then my plan just went down the drain. I might instead take advantage of an account specific offer that is offering any iPhone 15 series for 830 off with any unlimited plan for new lines.

It's over 36 months of bill credits.

I believe Tmobile had the iPhone 13 series where they gave you the credit at time of purchase. I did a few of those.

But this time, with verizon, it's definitely a 3 year 'contract'
Did you get the TMO iPhone 13 promo this year?

I did not.

On my family Tmobile account I'm on simple choice. I'm maxed out at 10 lines so I couldn't take advantage of the 13 deal

I did the Costco moto deal. 'Free' moto phone over 24 months. I did 4 upgrades. Costco gave $75 per line in Costco card but there were some issues and many of us got $75 in account credits. Tmobile gave me $300 in account credit.


Hopefully Tmobile has some deals for us simple plan users just upgrading, no new lines.

Oh yea, on my personal account, I canceled a 5 line account and ported 4 to verizon with the $1k deal

I have an uncle who also switched. That's 6 lines in one shot. I hope Tmobile is seeing customers leave and start to offer better plans.

I'm kind of hoping Tmobile has a 'we'll pay off your installment plan if you switch to Tmobile' sometime next year

That's the deal. I believe it's today and tomorrow only. I would've gotten it but I'm waiting for the Walmart 14 plus to be back in stock.

I went to Costco with Verizon kiosk multiple times to sign up for the 4 new lines with Verizon: 3 ultimate and 1 plus (switching from t-mobile). During the sign up process the rep asked for IMEI on trade-in phones (I have one iphone7, 2 iphone 5 and one original iphone). All trade-in phones are carrier unlocked and have "find me" disabled and signed out of icloud. These are all my phones bought first hand years back and were just lying around. When entering the IMEI the verizon system would show error that the phone with that IMEI cannot be recycled for all the phones. I'm wondering if anyone else is having similar issue. I used free IMEI checkers online and they all show that my phones are unlocked/not blacklisted/Find me disabled. So I'm not sure what is going on with Verizon system. Is the rep making a mistake. So few questions.

1. Do the trade-in iphones have to be for Verizon (mine were used with ATT and T-Mobile. The Verizon promo says any iphone)
2. When signing up are you providing the IMEI numbers for trade-in phones and are they being checked? Any one else had issues with the IMEI check?
3. Have there been situations where IMEI number was not provided at sign up and the trade-ins (with clean non blacklisted phones) went through fine regardless of the IMEI check at the kiosk? Wondering if I should take a risk since I know the phones are clean.

Thanks for any data points.

Is the rep just trying to be helpful?

I remember in the past deals I did at Costco, it was Tmobile transactions. The reps would input the imei info for me.

With Verizon, I noticed it's different. I went to Best Buy to buy my 15 pro max phones. I had to do the trade ins myself. I went to a corp verizon store and the rep did it there.

Use sickw dot com to check the status. They should be good but for some reason you are getting errors.
