You can go thru Costco or Sams club if youre a member. Saves you the $35 fee and you can earn up to a $100 gift card for upgrading.

Seems like Simple Choice does qualify and gets you up to $500 trade in value.
Unfortunately t mobile charges $30 extra on phones (apple sells ip16 for 800 and t mobile for 830.
T mobile also asked for $35 connection charge.
This extra $65 surcharge makes it less appealing ☹️

I have Magenta 55+. Not getting the $630 bill credits, only $500. Did anyone else with a 55+ plan get the $630?

Also, when I tried to check out online, I didn't see the $500 applied for bill credits. Only $210 for my iPhone 13 Pro.

I'll probably ask T-Force soon.

I checked both the Reddit posts and no one has been able to successfully do this yet. You can see it through the checkout process but once you complete it the credits are gone and it shows a much lower amount.

Isn't it weird this deal isn't advertised anywhere, like ON the T-Mobile front page at least? Isn't it a huge Valentine's Day deal? Where's the offer terms and promotional code??

If you have a Costco membership you can get it without the $35 fee plus you get a Costco card for $75 or so

The promotion codes are in the first post and wiki. They are copied from T-mobile.com under the iPhone offers.

Promotional trade-in values not showing at the final screen is normal behavior for T-mobile.com. Either take screenshots off the trade-in offer during checkout for your records or buy through a different channel.

if you really want this deal, go with Costco or Sams. they waive the $35 connection fee

also, you qualify for a costco/sams card when you upgrade through them. it's about $75

I'm thinking of doing this deal. I have a simple choice plan and an old iPhone 12. but I'm still debating.

S10e, S10, S20 FE, ~$100 currently on eBay. Image burn is okay for trade-in, screen damage (dead spots, cracks, lines in screens, etc) is not. Ask the seller if they will message you the IMEI immediately upon purchasing first. Prices have been increasing since they were bought as the S25 trade-ins.

Does Costco still not take trade ins? Last year I had to go to a T-Mobile store to give them our trade ins since we didn't want to deal w/ mailing it in. The T-Mobile employees are not enthusiastic about only processing your trade ins since they don't get any commission.

I've heard so many horror stories about that which is the only reason I'm hesitant on doing this. I've never traded in through mail and don't want to. What if I walk in a corporate store and they say well we gotta mail it. I'm thinking about calling all the stores around me and figuring out if anyone's gonna do it
