I went to the Tmobile store and turned in my trade-in today. It has to be a real Tmobiile store, not a reseller, not a tmobile store that is operated by someone else for tmobile. The phone was checked and I received a receipt.

Im on Simple Choice and i called the costco number (833) 428-1765, tried to add the BOGO free line deal but the rep told me my line would cost 40$ instead of the 10$ w/ Autopay.
anyone else recommend something or should I keep calling different stores?

2) BOGO line: 2 lines for price of 1. ID240574 [reddit.com]

I did the bogo line and ordered 2 new 16 Pro's yesterday with a trade in of 2 Samsung 20 FEs I purchased online. I looked at my account today and I am already showing a credit of $32.50 monthly for each new phone purchased, assuming they kick in once I ship the trade in devices.

However OPs BOGO id on the top says it is ID240574.

When I look at my promo for what I think is the 2 new lines I see ID 240725 for the 2 new added lines, 1 paid and 1 BOGO. Can anyone confirm if this is accurate.

I am currently on magenta, and these new lines will be my 7th and 8th lines.

Glad it worked for you. You are looking at the promotion for the iPhone 16s that you got (ID240725). You can check this in the op, T-mobile's promotion page, or the SOC list filename. Also, you will start getting the promotional bill credits immediately, but if you don't turn in your trade, or if your trade-in is rejected, you will lose the bill credit and be back billed.

Before you buy, send a message to the eBay seller(s) asking them if they will provide you the IMEI immediately if you purchase their listing #. Sellers who are wise to the trade-in game will reply with a yes. Of course, nothing is perfect and you are risking that the IMEI may be wrong, may receive a phone that doesn't qualify, damaged during shipping, etc. so buy from a bigger seller with more experience.

Search for the posts I made in this thread. One of them covers giving a fake IMEI.

Costco wireless phone people said that my plan doesn't qualify BOGO and T-force or T-mobile chat are not responding my messages now. They must be some sort of year end party 😂

If it helps last month I bought an iPhone 12 from Metro for $70. I was required at a minimum to pay for the $70 plan in order to get the phone. Once I got it i initiated a trade in through Apple using my TMobile account and got an iPhone 16. Everything went smooth and without a hiccup. Not sure if that is still going on but wanted to add that as a route one might be able to take.

Is there an easy way to figure out which promotions are sensitive to cancelations? My situation:

I went to Costco two days ago and added lines for my parents, who were going to port in. Now I've learned that they were on tmobile all along, so their ports are not actually ports and I have to cancel those new lines (which are each netting me $175 Costco GCs and about $400 off a new phone each).

I figure I can at least keep 1 by canceling my own line and taking my phone to one of the new numbers (I use a GV number so I don't care what my TMo number is). Then maybe I'll have one of my parents (the new users) port over to some MVNO before for a few months and then port in after 3 months, so I'll have only canceled one line.
Have them port out to Google voice for 7 days. Download Google voice and they can receive calls like normal. Then port back in.

When doing this deal at Costco, be careful and make sure you see what agent is doing. I did this deal at local Costco yesterday. Agent checked my account and said I can do BOGO lines and order 2 iPhone phones with trade-ins. So, I proceeded. After two new lines added to my account, I didn't receive email asking to authorize 2 new lines. Instead, I got email to view signed documents. Agent said that is not correct one I need to sign. While we were waiting, she proceeded to order two new iPhone 16 and entered trade-in IMEI. I didn't see if she choose the correct promo for $830 credit for each iPhone added to the order. She told me only need to pay sale tax at the spot. After order placed, again I didn't receive email to sign agreement about new 24-month device payment plan for two new phones. On T-Mobile website, it showed "processing" order with 2 new phone with 2 trade-ins. Agent said it should be fine. This morning, the order is still in "processing" status and I still didn't receive any info (text/email) about the order as well as 24-month payment plan agreement email. Under my account activities, I saw two new lines added, two new sim card order ($0), and a "signed" agreement for two new line services and the charge for each new line, but no document regarding device payment plan for 2 new iPhones. Further check the order details, I saw both iPhones are ordered under one line. No one in customer service team was able to tell me if iPhone trade-in promotion (ID240725) was attached to each iPhone or not. Since I can't see the device payment plan, I was worried that this can screw me up significantly later. I asked T-Mobile to cancel the order as well as two new lines. I probably will try this deal again after all things settle down.
i have the exact same issue,but i called costco tmobile to placed the order. order is still in processing state and no details about promotion.
