Deal Details
I don't post many deals, but after doing this today. I feel this was the best option for me. Upgraded my S22 Ultra to a 25 Ultra for $200 after $1000 t-mobile 24 months plan and costco $100 upgrade cash card. I upgrade every 3 years usually so doesn't matter to me the monthly credits. No $35 activation charge as well when you purchase at costco. I'm pretty sure you guys will thumbs down me a lot, but I hope this helps some people. Upgrading a 3 years old phone for $200 plus taxes, in my opinion, is a great deal..

No it doesn't
You mean, I can upgrade to a new device ? I am with T-Mobile already and in Go5G plus. Am I eligible to get all the goodies ?

OK so I've been with Tmobile since the Cingular days (Nokia 3360 era).
My Simple Choice plan is $120 for 10 lines (including several free ones).

I've since added some additional lines for $10 each.

Would love to get in on this deal but I'm never changing my SC plan.

The last free phone promo for Pixel 9 was awesome. I got 2 (max per acct I believe) and 3 free Moto Edges before that (for family members). Should've tried for a Pixel 9 pro but eh, my wife and I love our Galaxy Ultras. Might be sitting out this gen or grab S24U when they go on sale again. For now, our S22U and S23U are doing fine.
how many GB per line of super fast 5G speed?

as a T-Mobile Essentials customer, it was better for me to do it direct to Samsung instead of T-Mobile as they would only give me 400 bucks credit for my S23 Ultra. I wasn't trying to upgrade my plan to Go5g Plus/Next and have an astronomically higher bill.

They haven't updated the website, that's why I stated in-store if you active a new line yes it's higher cashback card. I did deal this morning in store. They were literally unboxing all the s25s as I showed up. for upgrades it's only $100 unfortunately
I thought Costco doesn't carry phones in store anymore. At least for tmobile

When you say that it is $120 for 10 lines and $10 for additional lines, is that before the "taxes and fees" they add per line? Like what is your total bill after those are added?

I've been on the one plan and there's nothing that would make me upgrade to the new plans. I have 9 lines for about $150. The only downside is new phone offers are terrible. I normally just buy directly from Samsung when they have trade in offers.
9 lines for $150? How is that so cheap?

Need magenta max deals
Good luck finding that deal. Tmobile is trying to "force" everyone to upgrade to the Go lines, hence why we see these deals regularly and never work Magenta plans

Barely post and hope this helps. I see others posting about other plans due to not being on the Go plan etc...

Plan i Have is Simple Choice (main difference i see is you get 500 trade in cred vs 1000)
Coscto benefit for upgrading - 100 dollar EGift Card per upgrade/per line

so trade in of s20 with egc and trade in = phone price 520 b4 tax. tax for me was 97 dollars 1 time fee you pay up front.

basics (tested with gov discounts)- Samsung.com my Price with trade in of S20 for the S25+ 512gb. is 921.49 b4 tax
With Tmobile = 620

Samsung.com trade in with s21 for s25 + 512gb = 780 b4 tax
Tmobile = 620

and if you go thru costco - for my plan i get 100 eGC per upgrade per line. so basically 520 per phone.

R.ak.uten (SD won't let me post it) on Samsung.com claims up to 10% cashback, but if you look at the list. Phones are only 4% cash back.
Samsung.com also gives you points. which I don't use and when i looked at my account, those points expire etc.... and I have basically most of the accessories I need so I didn't see a point.

So based off this and how a s10 to a s20 on samsung.com is only worth 50 bucks. while tmo is 500. and getting a eGC to spend at Coscto or Tmo. to me is better than samsung rewards.

Only Downside for me which did not really bother me much....is the Phone is not Unlocked and you get 3 less colors. (i also don't like the bootup screen of Tmobile and the preinstalled tmo apps...but for over 200 dollars in savings...i can live with that and trade that phone in 2 years later or something)


So if you got a older phone that is listed as accepted on tmoible. you get 500 compared to 50 to 400 on samsung. So the pricing is based on what phone you are trading in.

then Costco gives you a link and a promotion code to enter through Tmobile to claim a virtural gift card So this made it better than the Samsung deal for me due to how my s20 im getting 500+ 100 (600) back vs 50. and on another line i did the s21 trade in so where it is worth 200 at samsung compared to 500 +100 (600) at tmo.

You can also do this via phone instead of showing up in person to costco. Most of my costco near me is ATT kiosk. and wasn't gonna drive 1 hour away to a Costco with a Tmobile Kiosk.

if you google Tmobile costco locations. the link for for costco shows you which locations in your area. and the phone number... or if you lazy heres the linke and number

https://www.costco.com/t-mobile-b...wcase.html

(scroll down on page to look by state you in to see which town/city/village etc...for tmo costco locations)

or call 833-428-1765 for tmobile via coscto to upgrade or add etc... They will ask you for your ACCOUNT PHONE LOGIN 6 DIGIT PIN. before they continue.

other factors you might want to consider....is if you are getting other items on samsung.com like a watch or case etc... if you buy from samsung.com its basically 40% off those items so you might save more thru them based on buying other electronics off them at the same time. like what my coworker did who preorder a phone/ tablet and headphones. He was saving more.

Hope this helps

Don't do any T-Mobile Costco deal. I'm still trying to get the Costco cards from the October promo. Constant delays from tmobile. They will ghost you and you will never get any credits or cards. Be warned. 100% not worth the headaches you will get !!

9 lines for 150 damn . I am paying 25 each for 8 lines....
Military Magenta One ...8 lines... this is the bill break down
$140.00 for 8 lines with auto pay discount ( at some point I think I got free line)
+ $8.50 Netflix without ads
+ $0.51 Tax
------------------------
total $149.01----for 8 lines with Netflix no adds
------------------------
The Only bad about this plan, is that you have to hunt down phone discounts ... But def I wont upgrade to another plan and pay $200 for 8 lines.
