U could at minimum to receive the costco member benefit u need to be with tmo for 90 days

With 8 lines u get the 2 250 rebate for total of 500

The costco shop cards at least 75 per line and 150 if you purchase a device but im sure ur not gunna do that

Then there is the 200 per line port in so all together an minimum ur getting 2100

IMPORTANT for the 250 and 200 rebates u need to make a rebate submission per line on the website after porting in ur number make sure u dont use the same phone number twice on a rebate also not any line u do the 200 on u may lose the 75 costco shop card on that line

If I switch 2 lines from ATT to T-Mobile Go 55+ plan, will I get the following?

1. $400 from Costco & T-mobile for each line
2. $1000 with trade in towards iPhone 15 Pro for each line added (iphone xr and 12 mini to trade in)
3. T-Mobile will pay off one of the ATT iphones that still has payments owed to ATT
4. Ask nicely to waive activation fees Smilie
5. insider code possible with 55+ plan?

Thanks,

Hi,
If I stay with my current plan and pay for the phone would I still qualify for the $75 Costco shop card per line
If I order my phone through Costco is the $35 upgrade fee waived or can I upgrade at Tmobile.

Basically what is the advantage to upgrade at Tmobile kiosk at Costco?

TIA

Yup, and T-mobile got you staying so smart deal they gave you Smilie . Meanwhile you pay for your own phone upgrades (no free iphone etc) while paying more than an MVNO would charge for 7 lines ($105/month on Mint Mobile, Owned by T-Mobile for example)
I like how you showed an example that includes 2 completely different companies, t-mobile is t-mobile and Mint is Mint, you cant use them for an honest comparision just because they are owned by t-mobile and use the same network.
Lets compare Apples to Apples if you are looking to try and prove a point.
This post is about a tmobile special deal so a valid comparison would be what I offered, same company different promotion, you brag about "free upgrades" that is a very loosely used term and in reality is just a prepay for your phone plan by paying higher service prices, I dont care to upgrade my phone every 6 months so that is not something that I see as an advantage, I never buy a phone when it first comes out and wait til the hype dies down and wait until prices drop.
I have a Galaxy s21 Ultra that I paid $250 on a deal from slickdeals and perfectly happy with it.

@deliTunas,

My father who is former military spoke with a rep at Costco but they haven't got back to me when I tried to return the email or call.

I'm looking for my least out of pocket for trad-ins but I would be porting 6 lines from Verizon
256 GB iPhone 13 Pro Max in Blue with a remaining balance of $149.97
256 GB iPhone 13 Pro Max in Gold with a remaining balance of $149.97
256 GB iPhone 13 Pro Max in Silver with a remaining balance of $149.97
128 GB iPhone 11 in Yellow
128 GB iPhone XR in Coral
128 GB iPhone XR in Black

On 9/20 they quoted me via email (Even though I need 6 lines) Go5G Plus Military : 4 VOICE LINES = $110 and free iPhone 15's but I'm not sure if the rep knew I had 2x XR and 1x 11. I'd likely replace the 13 Pro Max with the 15 Pro max and the 11&XR with the 15 Pro 128 GB. It doesn't have to be Costco for me because I'd rather use promos to switch/pay off device than Costco cards.
