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..

You should price out the Go 5G Plus. The $1,000 per phone credit might make upgrading cost-effective, especially if you get brand-new phones every year and sell last year's phone; it will give you brand-new phones, plus pay for the upgrade, and make some money. The upgrade might cost you $300 a year, but you can get $9,000 a year in phone credit.
Go5G Plus gets you upgrade ready every 2 years. Go5G Next lets you upgrade yearly.

On simple choice plan, upgrade option gave me $500 trade in value for S22 ultra, better deal at Samsung with the extra storage. But not worth it for me yet.

I thought Costco doesn't carry phones in store anymore. At least for tmobile
None of the Costco's with Tmobile in them, carry the new Samsung phones in stock. They are all offering preorder. Feel free to call and ask them youself. 725-275-8289

If you order from Samsung website with tmobile financing you get a good deal but they don't include tax and shipping in the final price.

I'm assuming that with Costco you will still have to pay tax (on the full device price before credits) and a shipping fee since they don't carry this phone locally and only on pre order.

Is that correct?

With Samsung.com, you pay tax upfront when you preorder. Shipping is free.

Btw, I got my phone yesterday (white color). I am still waiting for my black S25U.

Just stopped by Costco tonight and they said trade in is $800 not $1000 anymore. So Samsung might be a better deal.

Does anyone know if you order thru Samsung, can you drop your trade in at T-Mobile store? My trade in has third party screen and I don't know how strict is Samsung with their trade ins regarding to using non oem screen replacement.

I was able to get price match with twitter team and got s25 plus, 512 gb + samsung pro buds free, I am on Magneta amplified plan ..they made me change to regular magneta so i can place and order from samsung but trade was still 500 and not 1k. looks like they are not going to give away anything more and force people to upgrade if they want better value on phone. I still rocking my s23+ but got better tradein so decided to get s25+

just to confirm: can you get the same deal calling Costco T-mobile number 833-428-1765 instead of going into the store?

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 lineso 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 taxWith Tmobile = 620Samsung.com trade in with s21 for s25 + 512gb = 780 b4 taxTmobile = 620and 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 numberhttps://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
I am also on simple plan, I wanted to ask how do you get 500 because the trade in value is lower for the phone on T-Mobile website.
