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 ☹️

Maybe I missed it but when does this expire and if I'm a current customer on magenta max does using costco only save the $35 new device activation fee or is there more of a benefit? Thanks

No expiration date yet. Other Costco benefit is $100 upgrade gift card.

Supposedly it ends today as it's a Valentine's Day (weekend) promo. There is currently no date though so who knows.

Benefit of Costco/Sam's is that they waive the $35 connection fee and Costco has a Costco $100 card that you get in about 2-3 months

Shouldn't matter for MM accounts. They only look at no screen damage, no water damage and no imei blocks. For Next accounts, there is a different promo for any condition phones.
What I mean is for the new customer, they give full credit even for the broken screen this time.

Like the other posters said what is your trade in device? If they gave you $125 up front for it, they'll credit it to your account and the remaining balance ($375) will be credited over 24 months
Im getting a total credit of $500 with my trade in (iPhone 13) plus whatever credit it takes to get me to $500. Nowhere on my bill is there listed a credit for my trade in. So I would assume the trade in value is divided into the 24 months along with the remaining promo credit. That $500 is suppose to be deducted from $829 for the new 16. That leaves a balance of $329. That balance is paid over 24 months.
So 329/24= $13.71 per month added to my bill as stated in the summary.

Again the summary description states: Credit of -$20.84 over 24 months.
20.84X24=500.16 (the amount of the credit)

Yes, the Go5G Next plan, which costs way more, allows front screen damage.

That's because used is about 200-250$

They mention $250 as it is the real trade in value, say if you try to trade it in at apple store.
As part of this promotion, t mobile gives you 830-250= $580 split across 24 bill credits over 2 years, once you send them 13 pro and they verify it's in good condition.

If I hand my iphone 13 in store, do they apply the $150 one-time trade-in credit immediately to my T-Mobile account in store after verifying condition?

Also how to know if store is corporate store? Does search on T-mobile website give me corporate store only? TIA
If you Google, the listed corporate stores should just say "T-Mobile" and nothing else; avoid the ones that say "Authorized", those aren't corporate stores

Just got off the phone with the costco Tmobile number. Holy shit what a massive time suck. 3 hours :22 minutes total. On hold 1:15 and then 2 hours on the phone with the rep doing what was a straight forward two phones on a ONE military plan. $500 credit for each phone, $100 costco card for each, no shipping, fees, etc.

They take calls from 6am - 8:30pm CST and the guy said they're always busy. Also doing over the phone is faster than in a costco store. Also he didnt know when the promo ends, they only tell them the day that it's over.

Went to local store to upgrade from iPhone 13 Pro Max to 16 pro max. He gave 2 options if I get $830 off then there would be $35 activation fee and no $100 costco gift card.
2 option is they need to deduct 240 trade in value and I get $590 and Costco gift card as well as no activation fee. Did anyone went through this situation?

I sometimes wonder why does it take them so long to do an upgrade or add a line. I can go online and do it myself in 10 minutes.
