The new promo codes as of January 9 are:
iPhone 16 - Apple Activate ID250066
Buy One Get One Free lines - ID250039

Note that there may be differences as to which SOCs are eligible. I don't have a list, but Reddit has confirmed at least some Simple Choice plans still work for the BOGO at least.

I'm on One Plus. Wanna trade an XR and a 13 pro max. Need unlocked. Will Apple Store be able to do this and give me the BOGO promo? How should I maximize the trade in value ?

Also wondering about this. Seems that some people who went to Costco couldn't get the deal so they called in to add the lines. Wondering if we have to do the same and then head to Apple or if Apple can do it all in one go

AFAIK, there's no publicly visible BOGO document, just insider posts on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/..._with_new/

How do we submit Costco rebate ? I didn't receive any instructions or any documents from Costco Tmobile. I called Tmobile Costco number 833-428-1765 and ordered phones. What promotion code I use to fill Costco rebate? Appreciate your help.

Fill out the rebate here: https://promotions.t-mobile.com/

The rebate id might be ID240150 https://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/..._question/

Expect 90 days wait for processing (since Costco has a 90 day return policy), and another month for your Costco shop card to be mailed to you. If you have different person's name registered to the line, the mail will be addressed to that person, but can be used by anyone. If you don't get it by month 5 (set a calendar event), call T-mobile's rebate line and ask them to check. They either give you the credit as a bill credit or mail you the card again.

Depending on the plan, it might not be reasonable to do port out/ port back in to reduce lines. My simple choice plan has free unlimited data for existing lines but new lines are charged $15 per line per month as add-ons. I removed those add on data and now the only option to add data is $30 per line/month. Seems that I will just wait for EIP to finish and cancel the BOGO lines.
hope it's not too late, but you can call back tmobile and ask them to have same add(like I has unlimited data with 4 GB hotspot on my rest of lines) on as you have on your existing voice lines. ...when I added a line they had added 6GB data for 15 USD so I called them and asked to remove the 15 GB add on and assign same amount of data as it was on my existing lines...which was unlimited data with 4GB highspeed hotspot. hope it works for you as well
