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 ☹️

Quote from deals_4_me :
it's no different for ordering through Costco on phone. I was told I will get trade in value of $500 for my iphone 13 via 24 monthly credits but when I checked my T-Mobile Account this morning, it shows only $350 credit for my iphone 13. My iphone 16 is not shipped yet. Anyone else who ordered via Costco see the same?

This is what T-Mobile account activity shows:
Plan start date : 02/15/25 (called costco t-mobile on feb 14 so this is good)
iphone 16 Original Price : $829.99
Monthly charges (24 left) : $34.59
Monthly Credits : $14.59 (Will be $350 after 24 monthly not $500)
Remaining Balance : $829.99

Because they gave you one-time $150 credit for your iPhone 13, so the remaining promotion credit is $350 over 24 months...

Just buy from Amazon
I wasn't really trying to spend over $100 per device since I'm on simple choice and would only get $500 in credit.
But I might just go for it on amazon

do they give you the imei in the details once you purchase the phone via amazon?

thanks

Yes he mentioned that as well but I dont see one-time $150 anywhere. Agreed I haven't received my new iphone 16 and they haven't received my iphone 13 trade in. But is that something that gets credit to my t-mobile account when they receive it? Even the EIP document under T-mobile account shows $829 price for new iphone 16 and no mention of $150 one-time credit. The only credit shown in account is the monthly $14.59 for 24 monthly which makes the trade in $350 and not $500.

Correct they won't give that upfront tradein device credit until they process your tradein and approve it. But they will do the monthly credit ASAP, assuming your tradein device you specified when you ordered. Regardless you WILL get that upfront credit once they approve your tradein.

This is way better than a few years ago when they only give you your monthly credit (and upfront device tradein credit) after they process and approve your tradein which can take upward of 2 to 3+ months.

You need to enter the promotion details on the https://promotions.t-mobile.com/ [Tmo Promotions]website. The promo code is in this thread somewhere. Cant recall atm.

Quote from reaperman :
Here is how the description is listed. $500 Promotion applied It shows my name, device info, IMEI, etc

The monthly breakdown at full price: $829.99 or ($34.59 with no credits at all)

Promotional savings: -$20.84 for 24 months. That equals $500

WITH APPLIED PROMOTIONS , YOU'LL GET A MONTHLY SAVINGS OF $20.84

Now they are only giving me a $15 credit monthly, not the $20.84 like stated above. So the promo is only $375. And this is all listed in the checkout page before clicking on accept and continue prior to purchasing.

In the OP (original post), I encouraged everyone to do a test trade-in on t-mobile.com so they know what T-mobile is offering you specifically. If you had done so, you would see that you will get a one time bill credit ONCE device is received by T-Mobile (Bolded and underlined below).

--------------- From T-mobile Trade-in Offer Screen ------------

$829.99* Estimated total promotional savings
with trade-in

Trade-in value without promotion is $150.00
*Based on what we know about your device today. The final promotional value will be determined after we receive your device and confirm its condition.

Trade-in value
One-time bill credit once device is received by T-Mobile $150.00

Recurring promotional value
Credit paid out over 24 months $679.99

Total Savings $829.99
