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 ☹️

Do you need to have the IMEI of old phones at the time of placing order for your new phone, or IMEI can be given to T-Mobile after the new phone is delivered ?

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.
They try to upsell on additional products and line, watch, tablet etc.

If you are upgrading the current phone, it should pull up. If its a phone not on your account, then yes you need it. But, i would have it ready anyway.

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?
Local Tmo store or Costco Kiosk. The $100 upgrade offer is redeemable online, so nothing presented at time of the upgrade. The $35 is waived at Costco. I think the rep was misinformed.

Local Tmo store will charge $35 and will not offer any upgrade cash card as thats Costco exclusive.

Looks like they are pushing their own rules.

There's an option where the Costco employee clicks from a drop down list that waives the $35 connection fee

No, this is completely wrong. If you are not at a T-mobile kiosk inside a Costco, you are not going to get the Costco gc or DCC waiver, that would be your fault for being at the wrong store. If you are at a T-mobile kiosk inside a Costco, then walk over to Costco customer services and report the T-mobile rep for lying about Costco member benefits. There is no sometimes you get the member benefits and sometimes you don't if you are shopping inside a Costco.

6s plus get you only $415 instead of $830 right? I keep reading people turning in older phones and sounds like they are getting th $830 deal. But the main page says 6s gets only $415. Could someone confirm?

Yes. 6s plus only gave us $415 on our plan which I am happy with.

I did this today at the Costco store. Been meaning to upgrade for a while but there were no good deals for our grandfathered plan and this was as good as it was going to get
Paid tax only then thy would charge the iPhone cost /24 monthly
They said for my iPhone 12 it was instant $80 back in bill credits then monthly $420/24)
They will ship to my house and I will ship back the trade in phone
had to enter a separate area promo no and my email to get Costco $100 card 90 days later
so in a nutshell paid full price + tax then with trade in $500 off and $100 off if you count the Costco card
But will be with t mobile for another 24 months!
