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..

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 !!
I had a problem with Costco T-Mobile too. I was told that I would get the same service, plus more GB, if I trade in a iPhone 13 and switch from the Simple Choice plan to the Essentials plan. after trading in the phone I found out Essentials gets downgraded in congested areas. They won't do anything for me. I basically have to eat the loss on the 13 of I leave because they said they will have Apple lock the phone completely. I didn't know they can do that ....

Hi guys. I am on T-MOBILE Go5G+ and want to preorder the S25U soon. Am I correct that currently the best deal for the S25U 512GB is from Samsung directly, and selecting T-Mobile 1k credit? My total after all discounts is $1235 for the phone + accessories credits (- trade-in 1k TM monthly credits). Is that the number everyone is getting?

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.
"for 8 lines with Netflix no adds"- Netflix is available for each line or only one line out of 8 ?

Netflix is a single account but each user would be able to share if they are in the same household as per the Netflix terms

So with this deal do you wind up paying $200 or $300 over the course of 24 months?

Take a breath. I've done numerous Costco gift card deals and have gotten every single one. I wouldn't say it's quick. In fact, I'm too busy with life to count the days, but they do tend to come when I hardly remember doing the deal anymore. Regardless, when I check, they have all been received.

Many report the same.

What's your monthly bill per line? I am still on one plan and wondering
If you're on the One plan never, ever switch your plan. Ignore the tempting phone deals as you'll pay significantly more per month and gain next to nothing. You're on the arguably the best plan Tmobile ever offered and they want you off of it. You can compare your plan to the new ones in the TLife app and go ahead and do it for a good laugh. It won't include all your discounts on your current plan or the new ones but you'll get an idea. If you have many discounts like the Hookup Code, One Plus Promo, free lines etc. and truly want to know, avoid a brick and mortar store and get on Facebook or X and direct message Tmobile's best team (TForce) and they can give you the exact cost. Trust me, it's a waste of your time as you'll not switch plans.

October promo... I mean you have to wait at least 90 days for them to process the cards since that's the return policy timeline...

I did end up upgrading my old s21 for a s25 plus... Left the same one plan on Samsung website. Had epp account had 150$ credit .. so ended up getting for 449... Plus a buds3 pro plus a 25w charger for free... That's the sweet deal I could afford for a new phone ... Wish TMobile gives 800$ like pixel 9 pro xl deal later.

It has been 120 days. Status says "denied". I had to call it in and they are reversing the denial and say it will take about 15 days but I will believe it when I get the actual gc. Nevertheless, it's a headache.

On magenta max. And outside of trade in discount if i upgrade to this new plan it's $15 per line more. And from my math about $500 more in trade in value. Outside of trade in there isn't any significant benefit. Unless you plan to upgrade often (every 2 yrs or less) it doesnt make sense.

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?
Before taxes and fees. They're small.
And data usage was converted to unlimited. So far, I don't notice any throttling. Also unlimited international text and unlimited slow 4g data (good enough for Google map).

T Mobile went from being "No Contract" & "we won't raise your prices" to "2 year phone contracts disguised as slick deals" and "we'll raise your monthly rates whenever we feel like it."

I had 9 lines paying Zero for a while that i felt bad and last year added a BOGO Line to get 2 iphones, and my bill is now $24. Too bad the negative balance from kickback doesn't cover the montlhy fee for the new lines 10 and 11.
What is the kickback yall are talking about
