Glad it worked for you!
I too have been shut down by TMobile reps twice even though my SOC is on the list of eligible plans(60GBUNL12)I'm paying for 2 lines 3 more are free with offsetting credit and one free. I was told additional lines are $20 but I think with autopay it will be $15 in my case the free lines also get the auto pay discount of $5 so maybe 2lines will be just $10. What to do do??

Quote from MLosito :
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.

Great info. There is one problem with this, for sure, though. There might actually be two…

1. You only get vanilla 5G service. No ultra band.

2. Not sure, but it doesn't look like it includes any hot spot.

It depends on that particular Costco. Few still have T-Mobile kiosks.

Just to make sure I'm not missing anything in the fine print, this is for the 16 Pro only, not the 16 Pro Max, is that correct?

So you still pay one phone price, but eventually you got $2000 credit. Do they honor your grandfathered plan? And BTW, how much gift they offer you?

Yeah.. one service line fee monthly $10+taxes and additional taxes on the two devices. And, yeah it worked on my grandfathered plan. If you are referring to rebate, its $75 costco card for each new line with a device.

So basically you still pay one phone. You got $2000 for two trade in when you stack the promos BOGO and new line+trade in? Correct? But I don't understand what the point to stack these two promos. To me you seems pay ahead of time. Isn't just use newline+trade in good enough?

Ask T-Force. Message T-mobile from Twitter or Facebook. These are the best of the T-mobile agents.

Have you tried test ordering online first? If the online system is giving you the promotional value when you add a line, then you know that your plan works for the iPhone promotion. Then it may be the BOGO line promotion (different qualifications) that may be the hangup.

I was able to confirm my eligibility today with TForce and then went with the ID codes listed by the OP to my local Costco. It took them a bit to wrap their heads around it but we eventually got it done. They processed the BOGO first and then did the phones. They handed me the flyer to submit for the Costco rewards card(s) but they weren't entirely sure how much they would be for.

TForce stated that I can't port out or cancel any of my lines until 10/8/2025. I guess that's one year after the promo started? I originally thought that timing would be based on when I added the lines.

Glad it worked out for you. It's 1 year from when you got the BOGO promo, so wait until Jan 2026 before porting or cancelling.
