It's 2023, there's absolutely no reason to be paying +$50 for one line of cellphone service but people still do it because hey, I got a "free" phone/they financed me one
I travel a lot. 5 countries this year and counting. Can you name another carrier that's travel friendly? Google Fi is $135/month + taxes for three lines, which will come out to the $150/month that T-mobile is charging for the Go5G Plus, and it doesn't include phones. Verizon and AT&T charge $10/day for international roaming, iirc.
I bought some refurbished like-new Galaxy S9's for $100/each and traded them in for $830 credit per line or $730 net or $30.42/month per line.
$400 (gift cards) x 3 = $1200 / 24 months = $50/month per line.
$150.00/month for 3 lines of Go5G Plus service, including taxes and fees
-$91.26/month device credit ($830 credit - $100 Galaxy S9 cost = $730 / 24 months = $30.42/month x 3 lines = $91.26/month)
-$50.00/month gift cards ($400 / 24 months = $16.67/month x 3 lines = $50/month)
+$0.00/line activation fee at T-mobile kiosk in Costco store
======
$8.74/month for service for THREE lines with international roaming, hotspot, in-flight WiFi and etc. How can you beat that?
It also includes Netflix Standard for free, which is normally $15.49/month. I would absolutely love it if it included Spotify/Apple Music or YouTube Red, but I'm already getting such a great value.
For what it's worth, I flip back and forth between T-mobile and Verizon.
T-mobile - 2019 - iPhone 11 (free with trade-in)
Verizon - 2021 - iPhone 13 (free with trade-in)
T-mobile - 2023 - iPhone 15 (free with trade-in)
I come prepared with a printed spreadsheet of account number, transfer pin, phone number, trade in device IMEI and target plan. It takes about an hour or so every other year. I'm open to switching to Verizon or AT&T after two years, but the 36 month agreement is killer. I may look into MVNOs again once the trade-in credits are used up.
The Apple Watch SE 2 "on us" promo is a pretty solid deal too. $20/month for two lines (normally $15 per line), and you get the Apple Watch SE 2 cellular for free. Over 24 months = $480 cost for service, while the devices are $329 x 2 = $658 in value. I'm essentially paid to have these Apple Watches. While I don't need Watch cellular, I'm locked in for the next two years, I might as well take full benefit of all this has to offer.

1) 3 Lines of Go5G + ( $150x24) = $3600
2) Costco Gift cards ($400x3) = $1,200
so (3,600-1200) / 24
= $100 a month
and
3) Cost of iPhones = $300 ( what you paid for the S9's + any tax on new phones)
so ( 300/24) = $12.50 a month
In Conclusion,
Monthly Cost is a net $112.50 a month for Service and Phones.
Starting 11/13, the $150 Costco shop card will increase to $200.

Unless of course if this promotion won't require port-ins now, but I doubt it. Do you happen to have any more details for it? Would also like to know if byod will increase from $75 to $100

This is NOT true, you can confirm in this thread and many reddit threads that BYOD lines should in fact qualify you for a $75 costco card ($150 is only for new devices) this has been the case since T-mobile took over from Wireless Associates earlier this year
The picture you attached here is back when T-mobile wasn't in charge of things, as it clearly specifies customer needs to fill out a form to receive cards, nowadays the whole process is automatic

The shop card offers at least from internal docs do require EIP/Device on monthly payment plans. Whether T-mobile follows the terms they made is another story.
