I remember when these trade in deals with T-Mobile used to get you the pixels for free on simple choice. No longer the uncarrier, oh well.

Dang, no love for SC members. I can't give up my plan from 10+ yrs ago. I have like 6 free lines on it so nothing else comes close.

Last good SC deal was moto edge 2022. I got 3.

My only deals outlet now is Samsung.com trade in deals. Here's hoping for a great mid-cycle deal like they did for the S23U. I got mine + Tab S9 + watch & earbuds for less than $400!

Being allowed to absorb your competition will do that to ya.

I did the same upgrade today-
i was also told that $5 trade-in value and $495 goes to pixel 8 cost (s9 trade-in).

anyone know how long this promo will last? (based on past promo period?)
There are multiple promotions at play here, any one of them ending would negatively impact this deal.

1) T-mobile's instant discount sale for the Motos and Pixel's: Can expire at any moment
2) Smartphone Trade ID240206​ for $500 trade-in credit: Usually run on for a month or two
3) Costco / Sam's club activation fee waiver and $100 GC: Probably will be available for a while

The takeaway is to act fast while the sale is ongoing. If you are buying your trade-ins from Ebay, verify the seller offers a return policy.

I just upgraded this morning at Costco as well, and based on the Promo Code that the rep gave me, I'm seeing a $100 Costco GC as well.

Thanks, Costco sweetened the deal even more. Last year / earlier this year was $75 for upgrades; now it looks like $100. I added this to the wiki.

yup, my typo, meant that as point 3.

T-mobile's unlocking policy is 40 days on network use and fully paid off EIP. However, you will need to maintain service for full 24 months to get the trade-in bonus credit ($500 - actual value of trade-in phone in monthly increments). This is actually more generous than Verizon and AT&T.

You can pay it off after a couple months. You'd need to pay off the full amount ($599.99 sans whatever credits have applied for pixel 8) to unlock the phone. The credits would move to the account level and subtract from your monthly bill at that point. You'd still need to keep the line if was upgraded on to continue getting the credits.

I'm on the original magenta, the $100 GC is Costco specific, don't think that matters which plan your on.

So I don't have a Costco account but my sister does, can I still participate in this deal or do the names on the accounts have to match?

Do we have to provide the IMEI for the trade-in device when upgrading in-store at Costco?

Anyone know if you need the physical phone/line with you for the Costco trade in? I have the trade in phone only.
I plan on doing the trade in using a family members line but they won't be with me at the time.

I did the trade in for my line online in a rush of panic, hopefully I can return the unused phone and get the better Costco promo before it ends.

Yes, the trade-in IMEI is needed. Most reps will also want to see the actual phone to check its condition.

Quote from Prototype20 :

No, the line being upgraded doesn't really matter; in fact, when you get the new phone, it's not tied to the upgrade line at all, so you can activate it on any line. The only way the upgrade line is involved is that it gets associated with that device payment plan and the credits, so if you cancel that line, your credits will go away.
