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!

Need some advice: My Pixel 5a fell 1 year ago has a cracked screen. Just yesterday it developed a bright white line a few pixels wide running verticaly. Annoying, but still useable.

Google's website is giving $55 for trade in based on condition. I'm assuming I'd get either the same, or none, via this trade in offer on T-Mobile.

Since the phone still works, should I just hang on until the Pixel 8 comes out and the 7/7a goes on sale more often? Or should I look at another budget phone/get a used phone?

My phones have been pretty simple over the years, last 2 have been the Pixel 5a and a Moto G5 plus (bought in 2017). If this screen hadn't cracked, I'd probably be looking to get another 2 years out of it.

Thoughts? Thanks

My phone has a small black blob on the top right corner. No cracks on the screen. Anyone have experience with a trade in with a black blob?
THose are dead pixels, and T-Mobile does not specifically address that in their trade in program details (unlike, say, AT&T, who allow for three dead pixels).

Many reports of phones being rejected for screen issues on T-Mobile, include dead pixel blobs...so I wouldn't;t risk it myself.

I havent bought my last couple phones outright from other places like best buy with trade ins. Not sure how it works now, but Costco used to be no monthly credits a couple years ago. Is that no longer the case?

I'd like to jump on the deal but my current phone doesn't get much trade-in.

If I buy a used Samsung S9 (cheapest phone that qualifies for $500) on eBay, how good of a condition does it have to be? I'm seeing listings for $90 but have "image burn".

Best Buy still does it at least right? I got my Pixel 7 free with trade in of Pixel 6. No Bill credits.

I don't think so. Best buy no longer sells tmobile phones.

Burn in is supposedly not considered damaged and acceptable for trade ins

I visited 2 Costcos in the NY area and they no longer have a T-Mobile Booth. It's been replaced by AT&T, and they told me that Costco is phasing out T-Mobile. Anybody have had this issue?
Kiosk locations are store specific. If your local Costco doesn't have a T-mobile kiosk, call 833-428-1765 to purchase, activate or upgrade your phone using exclusive Costco member savings. [costco.com]. Same benefits as visiting the kiosk.

The only hiccup I encountered after using the hotline (which they may have fixed already since it's been a year) was my $75 Costco upgrade gc was rejected by the rebate system. 1 call to the rebate team and they credited the $75 to my T-mobile account. So something to keep an eye out if you do upgrade through the hotline.

The promotion code is in the wiki for this deal. (The screenshot of the promo terms only mentions Go5G, but my Magenta plan worked just fine, and other plans should work too.)

I went to a local costco tmobile and the dude (who was totally useless, tried to upsell on other phones and offer x amount on my phone) said he can't see the deal on Costco.

I gave up since I mainly asked if they're doing that promo and he said no. Anyone else have a try?

In the past, I've gotten reps who sometimes weren't aware of a particular promo, but if I told them the promo code, they could look it up and proceed with the deal. If they don't know how to do that, then sounds like you need to go elsewhere or a different time and hope to get a more knowledgeable rep.
