I haven't been to costco in some time. But is it true you need to have a membership in order to go in now? In my previous trips to costco, someone would have a membership and there was no issue with a few of us going in.

However, last few time they no longer had a costco membership but did get a few gift costco gift cards as gifts and we were able to go inside. I didn't present a costco gift card though and I'm not even sure they asked that person with the costco gift card. If they did, well we were able to go inside costco.

However, has costco recently changed this policy? But if you have a costco gift card with you but no costco membership, are they still letting you inside the store or not? If someone has a costco membership, how many people can they bring in together? Like if they have a costco membership, they could have 5 family members or relatives come in with them or is there a limit on that? What if it's like a few of their friends?

you can say you going to pharmacy, I don't think that is a membership requirement.

these go5g plans are a scam...you're better off buying the phone outright from apple instead of having your bill go up x$ a month...it's a joke....don't fall for it!

Here is what I got today

I'm on Magenta Max plan.
By adding a new line, I get another line free.
I will trade-in two S9s (that I bought $90 each today) for $830 trade-in each (total of $1660 that will be monthly credits for 24 months) and will be buying two Iphone 16.
They told me the new line will cost me an extra $30 that I will need to keep for 2 years.
I will also get 2x$75 gift cards from Costco.
Activation was free, but they made me buy Iphone accessories for each phone to make it free (paid $100 for two apple cases)

On the other hand, I saw that their new lines service agreement shows two lines $35 each (was expecting $30 only rather than $70)
It could be a screw-up, or they will likely say it is temporarily showing this, and I need to make countless more calls to straighten it up.

Hope this helps.

Decision time. I am on Magenta plus with 118 per month. Moving to GO5G plus is 30 dollars more per month for life and I can get 4 phones with 930 off (830 +100 Costco). Is it worth doing that assuming I can do that every two years going forward.

You're assuming you can do this every two years. Once upon a time magenta and go5gplus were the the best, never to be replaced by T-Mobile but then they did and the promos stopped for magenta. Wouldn't be surprised if the promos stopped next year for go5plus next year and they make you upgrade to superduper5g, only $25 more ( and so it goes).

Remember to submit the rebate when you get the phone. Costco/tmobile used to auto submit the rebate, not anymore apparently.

We have kept our plan up to date till go5g plus. Not moving to NEXT as they now want to charge for free lines as well. Since apple 11 we have been upgrading yearly selling off the older phones. Remains to be seen for how long tmobile will offer credits on go5g plus plan. For 30 a month, it may be worth the upgrade.

If anyone is doing this deal, they shouldn't be trading in an iPhone. You should trade in the Samsung Galaxy S9; you're going to get the same trade-in credit, and you can buy that phone for $70 on eBay.

Not a scam for people who added upto 9 or may be 10 free lines when JL was doling them out to grow tmobile.

NEXT is different ballgame. Wants to charge 10 on free line as well. No thanks.

Gift card. Yes. They can not stop you from not being able to spend that money on gift card. But yea things are tightening at costco. Rolling out changes to stores slowly. Some scan card at entry. Some at checkouts. My kids can no longer use my card for example.

Did you get the Costco gift cards instore or will that be mailed to you?
The $75 + accessories instead of free activation sounds like the first kiosk I spoke to. Wonder if this offer is different per Kiosk...

TBH, I am getting 118 on magenta plus with 8 lines is a discount mistake in my favor. I am double dipping in 20% insider discount. The increase going to plus should have been zero, but because that double dipping will get removed is the reason for the jump. But 30 dollars is 30 dollars and I am in that dilemma because the alternative is to buy phones myself and sell current phones on swappa which is a hassle.
