I have a Pixel 6 to trade in that I bought from T-Mobile 3 years ago, so the website already has the IMEI. I went all the way through the checkout process, everything looked good. But then I carefully read the Trade In Terms document. It said the Trade In expires on 11/23/2024 (tomorrow). If you then click on the link in that document that takes you to https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce...d-t-c.html , it says "If you fail to return your Device by the trade-in expiration date, you may be required to pay back any value or credit advanced to you." It also says "...if you sell your Device online or over the phone, we will honor the Offer Price if: (1) your Device is received by us by the Offer Price trade-in expiration date."
That's impossible, how can I mail it and have them receive it the next day? They should have an expiration date at least a week or two away, so that I can first receive and activate the new Pixel 9, copy stuff over (if needed), delete all my personal info from the Pixel 6 ("You will remove all Device data and personal information, passwords, security software, or user locks."), then ship it to them and leave time for shipping carrier to get it to them.
So I reluctantly backed out at the final step.
This deal worked on my Simple Choice plan -- via T-App, traded in S21FE, total was the $35 DCC + state tax.
You'll actually be fine with the trade in. Just placed my order and this is verbatim from my confirmation email from T-Mobile:

What's next?
Once that cool new device is in your hands, get started on these important next steps.
Trade in your old device
Once your new Pixel 9 Pro ships, you'll have 30 days to send back your current Google GVU6C Pixel 7 5G 128GB White - T-Mobile in good condition to retain your promotional value of $800.00.

You have to keep that line you upgraded on active for 2 years if you want the 24 monthly credits Not sure if you can pay it off and still get the 24 monthly credits but usually after pay off is when the phone will unlock but you can always sweet talk a CSR to unlock for you w/o paying it off
They mention explicitly that if you pay off the phone early the credits will stop

T-mobile changed their policy this summer, and now if you pay off early, your credits stop too. This is for EIPs starting 7/1/24 or later. Source: https://www.t-mobile.com/support/...nd-rebates (scroll down to "How Recurring Device Credits (RDC) work", and it's in the 2nd bullet).

Yeah, it's their way to lock you into a contract, without locking you into a contract.....Works out fine if you've no plans on changing. Here's hoping they don't force everybody off the old plans in the next 2 years.

I got the Regular Pixel 9 Online and only paid $66 in taxes. Device Connection Charge shows $0.
Not me. Tax on full amount + 35. I did just get Tmo chat to credit 35 so I'm good now.

Whew! OK, just got back from Costco. Upgraded three Pixel 7s for Pixel 9s for only $60 tax (each) and will supposedly get $100 Costco card for each in the mail. I'm earning $40 per phone! I'm on an old, grandfathered plan, so this is an extra rare good deal for me. In my case they had to physically see the phones and inspect them. And it took them a while to find the deal. And they also waived the $35 fee.

Select Choice FAM UNL TT 50, the trade in for my pixel 8 is only $250 showing up in the website and tmobile app, so no go for me. I called in as well to verify the trade in and they said with my plan is only $250.

To me, the real problem (and probably why they changed the policy) is this prevents flipping the phones as easily. In the past, you could do a trade-in with a promo, pay off early, and sell the now unlocked phone while still getting the rest of the credits. Now, you can still sell the phone early, but it will stay locked to T-mobile if you want to keep getting the credits (since it's not paid off yet), so at least the phone doesn't leave their network.

Tmobile kiosk at Costco said they have no phones in stock. They will mail me the Pixel 9 and I can mail them my old phone. Does anyone know if the credits will apply? Do I need to know a code or promotion? TY!

Quote from alphawave :
I believe* what it means is since trade in values are adjusted daily, that you SHOULD pull the trigger within a day of setting up your deal, as in a few days the trade-in phone may likely drop in value. Once you agree to the deal, the trade in value should be 'locked'.

edit: also I believe* the 'trade in date' adjusts according to your agreement date, and is separate from the expiring 'trade in value'.

* believe, as in how it should work, but it is TMobile after all.
TIV hardly matters in these deals, it just changes how much of a credit you get upfront on your next bill. So whether your trade in is $10 or $500, it's just subtracted from the bill credits you'll be getting over 24mo (i.e. $800-$10 or $800-$500 over 24)

Awesome deal. Where are you located that there is a T-Mobile kiosk in store. All the Costco's around me have switched to AT&t and it's terrible.

Quote from JonathanU :
An extra $75 at Costco seems too good to be true. Please update here if it is true.
I called the Costco T-mobile customer service to skip having to go in store. They initially couldn't find the deal but then after more searching found it & said I would also get a $100 Costco GC. When I called back to place the order, they had to look again and I was told I was given incorrect information because the deal is web only.
So I think it might be too good to be true.

I'm on the phone with them now @ 833-428-1765 and they can give the $100 gift card! https://www.costco.com/t-mobile-b...wcase.html
I just got off the call with Costco and was not able to get the deal as it appears as a web exclusive offer on their end (even had them reference Smartphone Trade ID240577 - Promo Code: P943).
They could only offer me $100 Costco Cash card and the trade-in value on my phone 🙁
