After verifying with T-Mobile customer care reps ... Did this through the Costco T-Mobile line.. which gives 90 days return window (in case they don't honor the promotion they told I was eligible for).. hoping everything will go well.. additional $75 Costco card perk + no activation charge and 2 days shipping 👍🏻
Do you get 90 days return there on TMO shipped and financed phones? I know they did that with wireless advocates with paid in full cash and carry at warehouse TMO phones.

Even if a phone rep said I'm eligible. I'm too scare to try it. I think the phone reps may lie or make a mistake when I order over the phone.
Most old plans are eligible however, you need to ask if they can see segment on your account. If they can see it on their screen, then you are 100% eligible but most of us include myself will NOT be eligible once rep dig a little deeper to make sure your account must have this segment on your account.

Just to chime in - never received a text about this. Reached out via chat. Was told I'm eligible. Everything went fine and credits were applied. Maybe the horror stories are more when ppl pushed through initial refusal.

Now, I am in the same boat as you are. Nice representative talk smooth. But, screwed me applying wrong promotion and showing only $350 instead of $800 credit for IPhone 15 purchase. Contacted again yesterday and they said they will fix it in 2 days or so. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

After spending hours on 5 calls to 611, they finally added the correct P629 promotion to my account. A supervisor had to get a manager to add it manually for 2 of the lines on my account.

Good to hear. Thanks for update.
What plan do you have? I'm on magenta one, 6 lines with 3 free lines and (tried but denied ) galaxy A32 to trade. Monthly bill $105 after all discount and autopay. I think I need to talk to manager level. Supervisor are all crape and in out of country..

Had 30 min to kill while waiting for someone, while near a T-mobile store, so thought I'd pop in and see if they could look up whether there were any segment codes on my T-mobile ONE account for these promos.

The rep didn't even look at the promo codes P621 and P629 I was ready to show her, but she knew roughly what the offers were about and that they'd come out in December or so. After I quickly waved off the "add-a-line" promos discussion, she got into my account and checked in a few different places - she wasn't sure which was the right one, as she didn't see anything there, but her supervisor did verify which one was the place to look and used the term "segment" codes in discussing with her (I was about 20 ft away).

Unfortunately nothing there for these promos for my account, but I'm fairly confident she and her supervisor were looking in the right place. Which is fine, I didn't expect to hit the lottery on this one. I do have a couple of really old phones active on my account, they are on free lines that aren't being actively used by any family members - but I'm hoping that an iPhone 6s Plus and LG V30 being on active lines will eventually trigger one of these targeted upgrade offers to apply to me....

Couldn't go through all the pages, but does anyone know if SERO plans are available for upgrade?

Advantage plus plan from Sprint to be more specific.

Total of 800 in credits over 24 months to upgrade to new phone and trade in a device.
Phone with broken screen also gets the same value?
My Pixel 7 Pro screen just broke. Looking for a new one

Have you checked to see if you have the segment tagged to your account to be eligible for this? Seems like some people are just trying to push the discount through.

For this deal, the phone can't be broken screen. But it can be any working phone, even if it's a $5 burner flip. This $800 is one per account. Towards Apple/Pixel/Sammy P629

And seems if you qualify for this $800, you are also likely targeted for the $700 hush hush deal as well. That one you could trade the cracked Pixel 7p. This has limit 4 redemptions per account. Towards Pixels P621

Do one, do both. . .or which ever one they will let you

Simple choice not eligible. But changed one line to iPhone 4s and waiting for Jan 20 bill date to see if there are any updates. Does anyone know if segments get added on bill date or I should just give up and use back a 5G phone on the line ? I can use the 4S for this month.

Advantage Plus here.

Was not eligible for this promo, but did qualify for $500 off a Pixel 8 with qualifying trade in (using Pixel 6) with a SWAC plan. Unfortunately , I couldn't trade in any old phone as this promo was limited to a select list of phones. I wasn't in love with my Pixel 6 due to some issues I was having, so was ok to trade it in. Smartphone Trade ID230270.

Pixel 8 = $700 less $500 after trade in = $200. Credit was split in the form of one time trade in value of $45 and the remaining $455 credit split over 24 months.

Took the Costco $75 gift card promo into consideration, so that took me down to $125. A bit of a stretch but felt good about waived new device connection fee of $30, so got me down to $95.

YMMV but separately, I asked tmo through app chat about the $60 loyalty credit I heard. Supposed to be $10/month x 6 months. Agent gave me a courtesy $60 instant credit. So took me down to $35.

Add in the upfront sales tax on the full price of the phone which was about $42, so my total cost ended up being around $77 over 24 months to trade in my Pixel 6 for a Pixel 8.

That's an awesome deal for them Pixel 8. Unfortunately my 7 Pro has a cracked screen. So Costco definitely wouldn't offer me that value.

Is there a history/pattern of this working?

I'm (apparently) not eligible for P629 and only have one line, but think I'm eligible to add a free line. Maybe with getting the free line and putting an old phone on it?

I haven't checked that.
I think I need to go through the entire thread carefully to understand what you are talking about being segment tagged.

Thanks for your response though.

It might be worth a shot. The $500 credit is the total promo value. I'm not certain but they did ask me standard questions (does it turn on, is the screen damaged, is there water damage) to decide the decide trade in value.

Is possible that with a cracked screen, you may get $0 up front but get the full $500 back as monthly installment credits?
