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 ☹️

Well Sam's T-Mobile rep told me they could match it and better it with the Sam's perks. Just went with what they said.

I just traded the phones with Sam's and the rep told me to go to promotion.t-mobile.com to claim the gift card but it's asking for the promo code. Does anyone know the code?

Use https://promotions.t-mobile.com/samsclub. The code is 240003.

I went to costco today and upgraded from iphone 8 plus to iphone 16 pro. I am on Tmobile essentials plan and the rep confirmed that my plan is eligible for upgrade. Did the upgrade and paid the sales tax. I got $250 off which will be received as billing credit and then $15 off for trading in the iphone 8 plus. Did the e-signature to complete process. If everything works out, I should be paying $729 net for the iphone 16 pro 128GB model.

Original price: 999$
WA sales tax: 95$
Total price: 1094
250$ bill credit should apply over 24 months
15$ credit for trading iphone 8 plus
Costco shop card: 100$
Final price after all the credits, trade-in & costco card: 729

Came back home and Trying to submit the form on tmobile website to get the costco shop card. But my phone number does not show up in https://promotions.t-mobile.com/costco even after logging in.

Anyone has any idea on why this is happening? It's been only couple of hours since I placed the order at store, Should I try to submit the form after receiving the phone?

Reading the comments about unlocking the phone temporarily to add a data eSim for international travel is not possible? That's a deal breaker for me. I thought t-mobile would allow for the travel period. Anyone else has experience with T-mobile on this?
I called and tried to get a temporary unlock on my iPhone the other day. Was denied.

I also went into Costco to order an iPhone 16Pro today with the trade-in deal and did the rebate with the sales rep together without any issues. I remember having to sign in to my T-mobile account during the submission process. Did you sign in?
He told me rebate will only be $75 since I'm on the Magenta Max plan. The $100 is for those Go5G plans.

It will not be through Costco. Costco kiosk told me the same for a simple choice, but try through the T-Life App on your phone. I was able to do the trade-in upgrade that way (simple choice plan). Forgoing the Costco GC and paying the activation fee, but that was just bonus.I was satisfied getting $500 for a 13 that needed replacement (160 immediately and remaining as bill credits).
Yea, I did it on the app afterwards and it went through. I paid the $35 activation fee, but contacted Tforce for a waive. They said since I already paid they couldnt waive it, but they gave the $35 credit instead.

I am on a grandfathered plan called Select Choice Fam 50 plan. Do you think it's available for me?

Ditto on the grandfathered plan, best I was offered was $500 trade in for 13pro and a 1 time $50 account credit. Monthly payment $22 extra a month for 24 months

Thanks for confirming. Any EIP deals from t-mobile rules me out. Their international plan becomes mandatory and it sucks than the local providers in other countries.

I bought 3 phones in June and never activated one of them, and all three rebates came in. I submitted Costco promotion right after I purchased the phones at the Costco counter from my phone.
