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 ☹️

Was able to trade in an iphone 13 pro for the $500 credit on the old sprint employee plan!!!!!!!! Its been excluded from everything for years.Did it at samsclub no activation fee + $60 gift card mailed in 3 weeks.Only downside is they mail you the phone.Thanks!
The lady told me I would get a $75 Gift Card when I ordered an upgrade and gave my iPhone 12 IMEI to upgrade to a iPhone 16 256GB. I wonder if she was wrong and your sales person is right.

Really? I'll be so mad. I've been waiting over an hour on the Costco phone line. Has anyone actually gotten through yet?

I asked the rep infact many of them don't even know this offer. I met 3 reps at 3 different stores, and none of them knew it until I told. One thing is sure TMobile hasn't announced the last date. I doubt it will be only today, given Monday is also holiday for most. They would want as many iPhone go out this weekend

I did the paperwork and I only saw the $60s but it sounds like it might be yearly for activating at samsclub. Check the fine print on the handout they gave you.

Maybe its both??!?!?

Wait, this deal is supposed to be through March 20? I thought I had read somewhere where it ends today?
End date have not been announced yet. As posted earlier, keep an eye out on either the t-mobile subreddit or this thread on when the end date is announced.

Yes could be. If you are not a plus member you get $60 for signing in addition to the other benefits.

Plus Members get a $60 Sam's Club eGift Card

that can be used on anything (including a Sam's Club Plus membership) every year when you activate a new line on Go5G Plus or Business Plus or Go5G Next or Business Next, buy a new phone and upgrade to a Sam's Club Plus membership.3

This was easy enought to do on the phone, but it took me exactly 1 hr to connect to a rep. Rep was great though. He did also mention that he think it MIGHT be a valentines day only special but wasn't sure.

Try reaching out to T-force on facebook or X. Even if it doesn't show as possible directly via the Apple Store, they have previously been able to confirm or add eligiblity on the back end for similar promos.

If i order it through apple website , will it be locked to tmobile still ?
Or will it be unlocked?

I just did this today at Costco. I got the iPhone 16 pro. I'm on Magenta so I got $500 trade in for iPhone 12 Pro. They gave me $115 bill credit and $385 discount over 24 months and $100 Costco card. Costco card will come in a few months. They will mail me the new phone in a few days and will return mine once that arrives. No activation fee. Paid $77 CA tax

I can't get it to work on my One Plan. I did a test upgrade online and all it shows is a one time $290 credit for an iphone 14 pro 125 gb. Is there a promo code to be applied at checkout?

He may have lied, actually since they don't take the trade-in phone they don't care the device state as much IMIE and storage capacity (to determine fair market value).

Yeah, that was a local store rep. I called the number (833) 428-1765 which was much better. I was on hold for about an hour, but was able to get it done with the customer service rep on simple choice trading in two iPhone 12s
