Yes, that is part of the deal. Do it at Costco / Sam's Club for additional gift cards. After 1 year, you can also port out 2 paid lines and port back in over the BOGO to reduce your total plan cost. This was discussed in detail in this thread.
Thank you, so 1 year from now, after porting out and do i need to wait 90 days before i port back in to the BOGO?

Historically and as of now, no. Your port-in won't count as a win if it's under 90 days away, so it wouldn't qualify for any new port-in promotions that may be running, but that's not your main goal anyways. Ask on the T-mobile subreddit a year from now just to double check, things can change.

As I state before, tweaking your grandfather plan is only for the detail oriented. Changes cannot be undone, so know everything about your plan, lines, EIPs, RDCs, promotions, etc before you start. It's not hard, just risky if you just wing it.

If I do it in costco, do I have to provide them the IMEI number for the trade in phone or the phone should physically be there?

They just need the screenshot of the imei. Physical phone not needed.

Thanks, I read the thread and it was not clear on aspects, like the trade-in. Was that an apple trade in or Tmobile trade in? Only way to find out is to wait until the offer is available at Apple and then read or try it.
I did a tmobile financed trade-in deal at apple for the 14 pro back then. The iphone is unlocked. Not sure how to get this bogo line promo+trade in to work at Apple however as last time it was just an upgrade a line trade in deal

Thanks. It needs to show up as a promo on Apple. So far it hasnt. Strange that the rep I spoke to clearly stated that if the phone is financed, it is locked to the carrier.

so if I am successful in getting BOGO after a year can I cancel the paid line and still keep the free line?

No problem! I remember back then a few Tmobile reps were adamant that if I went the Apple financed trade in route, the phone would be locked still lol. Pushing to get it done with them.

I'm planning to get the deal in 2 days but probably will just go it at Tmobile this time to get the trade in to them and new phones same day. Still debating whether to trade in my backup 13 mini or get a cheaper 12 to trade in at 200

Verizon my plan worked better for me. Traded in 4 olds broken iPhones (5,5s,6,6s), for $1,000 each in 4 new 16 Pro Max 512gb.
They agent in the chat online also gave me extra $200 gift credit for each number, and waived the activation fee ($35 each). Total of $940 extra bonus.
The plan that accepted the trade and the deal was the cheapest unlimited one, the Welcome Unlimited and the total cost for my four lines is $120 per month plus taxes. This is $30 per month per line, same as the cheapest plan from a low cost network provider such as visible, mint, etc.
The down payment was only the phones taxes, no extra fees, etc.
The only down side is the contract length of 3 years, instead of 2 years from the other companies. But when placing all the numbers in a spreadsheet and comparing to all other options such as T-Mobile and att, the Verizon my plan is by far better in the long run.
If we would buy the iPhones in the Apple Store, at full price, without discount since the trades would be "disposal garbage", the Verizon plan would be a total of $15 per month for all the 4 lines during the 36 months, total cost of $480 for 36 months of 4 lines in an unlimited plan.
So I went for Verizon and I would suggest you to do the same.
