Does tmobile family plan owner (6 lines) has to be the costco member? My bf is the owner of tmo and im costco member. But I'm an authorized user on his tmobile account.
Also is it $75 costco per phone (so potentially $300) or just once ? How do u keep track of that gift card? Receipt? A lot of complains in thread - people never got them. Also if we do it all in costco store, do I have to bring all 4 old phone to trade in, there and then?

I saw it there but it's gone now. I am on the same ONE Plan Unlimited 55

Confused
I'm on SC plan. Saw it yesterday. Don't see it online anymore. I wonder if it's over.

Although about 2 years ago, there was a similar offer for the LG Velvet. The offer was coming in and out. Others on slickdeals mentioned they observed the same behavior for their accounts.

Take him with you. $75 per phone after 90 days. You will have to pay tax up front. I didn't do anything and had no trouble getting 3 gift cards. It's not on any receipt or anything. You take the phones to Costco but they don't trade them in there you either need to mail them in later or go to a corporate store which is what I did

I have a question regarding T-Mobile in general and bill credits for trade in promos. I'm just curious but say I got this, and 12 months in I decide to perform another upgrade that has a trade in promo. What happens to my remaining 12 months of this trade in promo bill credits? Do they still continue since I did not leave T-Mobile? I understand that I will probably have to pay the remaining balance immediately but I can justify that if I continue to receive the bill credits. I've been trying to get this figured out for a while now so if anybody has some insight, it would be much appreciated.

You would pay whatever balance is due on the device. You would still get the remaining credit and can now get the new promo credit as well.

I personally never tried but that's what I've read from Tmobile deal threads

So with that being said, I typically go for iPhones every year because I still have the old jump on demand plan but based on that it seems like it would make more sense for me to not use jump on demand and just go with these trade in promos since there typically is a trade in promo for iPhones every year. Does that sound right?

Now you have a T-Mobile policy [t-mobile.com].

How Recurring Device Credits (RDC) work

To receive Recurring Device Credits (RDC), you must purchase your device on EIP (Equipment Installment Plan) and meet any other requirements of the promotion.
You may have one Recurring Device Credits (RDC) promo per active Equipment Installment Plan (EIP).
If you pay off your EIP early, you'll continue to receive the promised Recurring Device Credits (RDC) as an account-level credit through the remaining months of the promotional credit period (up to 24 or 36 months).
You must wait to pay off your EIP until the line is enrolled in the desired promo (within 2 bill cycles of qualifying transactions).
Additionally, you can't pay off an EIP by deducting the remaining Recurring Device Credits (RDC) installments from the remaining EIP balance. The full EIP balance must be paid to close out the plan.
It can take up to two bill cycles for your Recurring Device Credits (RDC) to appear on your bill. If you don't get the credit on the first bill, you'll receive two credits on your next bill.
If the Recurring Device Credits (RDC) promo is greater than your EIP payment, you'll have two credits on your bill; one credit for the same amount of as your EIP charge and a second for the balance of the remaining promotional credit.
Recurring Device Credits (RDC) can't be sped up to pay off your device faster.
If you are trading in a device as part of promo eligibility, you will be paid a one-time credit for the fair market value of the device. The balance of the promotional value will be paid via Recurring Device Credits. If you are in a retail location and performing an instant trade-in at the time of your purchase, you will be given options as to how that fair market value is applied.
If you cancel your T-Mobile service, you'll lose any remaining Recurring Device Credits (RDC), and all remaining EIP balances become due immediately.

Got this phone through the same deal this summer. Phone is buggy and is stuck at android 12. Don't expect regular android updates. The software freezes sometimes. The biggest issue I have with this phone is that it will regularly disconnect from the 5G network multiple times a day. I send the original back and got a replacement and it is still doing the same thing. Only way to stay on the network is turn off 5G and use it as a 4G phone.

correct
although it looks like some accounts are getting an se3 offer if you have an older iPhone such as the XR in use.

I was about to do this edge deal but I have 2 users using an XR on their lines. no email yet.

will wait a bit more

The sentence before your bolded sentence says this though:

"You may have one Recurring Device Credits (RDC) promo per active Equipment Installment Plan (EIP)."

This seems to conflict with the bolded sentence to me. So then does this mean that if I was to take advantage of the new RDC promo, it would cancel out the old one since I cannot have two of them?

My personal experience is that you can have multiple EIP per line, at one point one of my line has like 6 EIP attached to it.

they dont enforce one RDC rule so far. I have 2 or 3 RDC on my lines. But things can be changed. If you're worried then dont do it.

You need to pay off the older EIP. The credits then will be applied to your account instead of the line and you can get a new EIP with credits applied to that line

if you order thru chat, call, in store, they will ask u to pay off EIP. if you order online yourself the system will not enforce it.
