T-Mobile has Pixels 8a and 7a [t-mobile.com] for free + tax with a $500 trade-in credit (over 24 months). Similar to the Pixel 8 for $100, upgrades qualify, no new line required, 4 upgrades max per promo code P706. Go5G, Magenta, or ONE plans qualify.

Pixel 8a: $0 + tax
Pixel 7a: unknown, not available online

This deal is available through all T-Mobile sales channels: internet, phone, retail, kiosks, etc. Upgrading through Sams Club and Costco will get your $35 activation fee waived and a $75 to $100 bonus gift card per upgrade.

Ask for the $500 trade-in promotion by referring to Smartphone Trade ID240206​, Promo Code: P706​​ [t-mobile.com].

Cheapest trade-able phone for the full $500 credit would be a Samsung S9 for $90 [ebay.com]. Trade-ins must be in good condition (turns on; no water damage; no screen cracks; and in my experience screen burn and scratches are acceptable).

This deal is for existing T-mobile customers with qualifying plans to upgrade. There are better deals for new T-Mobile customers, like 4x iPhone 15 + Essentials plan for $100.

Costco $100 GC and waived $35 activation fee for upgrading through them:
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.

Upgrade through Costco or Sam Club to get a new phone and make money even after subtracting tax.

Test upgrading online through the website to see if your plan qualifies for this promotion:
If you're on a grandfathered plan you might still be eligible without switching. Advantage Unlimited Plus plans qualify for these $500 off with trade in deals.

Never dealing with trade ins with these scam artists
there's no way I'm trading in a phone AND signing a 24 month contract just to get a $500 phone. At that price u might as well just buy the phone and switch to visible.

I believe on my account (at least) you can just add a line and get either the 8 or the 8a for free and then cancel the original line. If that doesn't work I'm just gonna leave T-Mobile and buy the phone when it hits $350. The 8a is a downgrade from the 6 slower charging, cheaper build weaker battery life and no reverse wireless charging and smaller screen no way I would trade it for that. I'm either gonna get this phone free or just get cheaper service personally. Def not signing a contract and doing a trade in
Man no love for Essentials plan??

Quote from standupdad :
Interestingly enough, I took a look at the 5G go plus or whatever the hell it's called, and saw that four lines for military is $120. That would give me a savings of $10 a month with some minor updates/ negligible additional features

I'm on their old One Military Plan too so I guess this is a way to get more money from not changing to their more current version.

Quote from LivelyGoat9737 :
FYI, I just upgraded over the phone with T-Mobile / Costco with my ONE plan. My T-Mobile line was a bogo so it's a free line. I got a free Galaxy A32 5G from them a little more than 2 years ago so I traded that in for $250 spread out over 24 months plus $100 Costco GC. So basically $500 + taxes - $250 - $100 GC which is not bad at all considering the original A32 5G was free anyway. Let's see how it pans out after they ship it Big Grin
Did u trade in ur old Galaxy A32 in person at the store, or how does that exactly work?

I have a Pixel 6a from 2022
Is this deal worth it? Also when does the deal expire?

If I am reading this correctly? :::

I buy a Pixel 8a for $500 spread out over 24mo
They give me a trade in credit for my old 6a of $250 spread out over 24mo
And I get a $75 or a $100 Costco store card for doing it in a Costco ? Can I do it online through Costco or over the phone with Costco 833-428-1765, or do I have to physically go into a Costco store?

That's the way I understand it too. I just did this at Costco last week. I did it with a different phone though as the $500 off can apply to select other phones.

I bought a Pixel 8 for $599 spread over 24 months
Paid the taxes on the $599 at the store
I traded in a Samsung s10e for $500 over 24 months (I purchased this on swappa for $80)
I got a rebate form for the $100 Costco store card and $35 activation waive

So to answer the question of whether or not you have to go into the store: I don't think so. Most of what the CS rep did was accessing account info on the their tablet which seems like it can be done over the phone, with a couple caveats 1) she took a pic of my driver's license,
2) she inspected my trade-in-- mostly just to get the IMEI and check the water damage indicator, but she did not collect it. She said when the new phone gets to me, I'd use the same box to return the trade-in and they'd do the final inspection for credit. So I'm not sure there was anything special that happens in store.
