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 ☹️

Upgraded to an iPhone 16 Pro at Sam's Club, trading in an iPhone 14 Pro (128GB). Received a $290 trade-in credit immediately and a $630 promotional credit ($14.16/month). Paying $27.60/month for 24 months after bill credits. New phone arrives in a few days, plus I'll get the $75 Sam's Club gift card for the upgrade in 3 months.

Did you have to ask for the imei or was it on the order somewhere? I just placed an order but can't seem to find it.

It's been a while since i used it but the time i did, i saw all of the details once the order was complete. I think sellers are required to list it so you can maybe send a message asking for it.

Do they just email the gift cards after 90 days or do you need to submit some sort of rebate
Scanned a QR code at the kiosk and the rep helped fill in some info, giftcards are emailed after a couple months i believe

I did my upgrades for 4 lines at Costco store yesterday. Was a pretty straight forward process. We bought two 16 Pro Max and two 16 Pro. Both the Pro Max's shipped last night and I see the promo applied to those already in my account. The other Pro's have not shipped yet so wondering if other are seeing a little delay in those as well. Great deal (especially considering the waived activation from Costco and the $100 GC on each line).

So ordered at Costco kiosk, anyone get confirmation of the promo trade in value? All I got was verbal confirmation, checking T-Mobile, only showing the initial trade-in credit and not the promotion credits.
update: chatted via TLife - screenshots of chat and confirmation.

Thanks OP. Ordered 16 pro max at the store. Traded iPhone 13. EIP 25/month after trade in and $100 GC. I've scored better trade-in deals from Costco and BB in the past but this is the best I've seen for Simple choice/Apple in a while

For all the people on plans that qualify for the $500 trade-in credit (and not a higher credit), where this deal is nice, but not stellar...if this deal lasts until when the iPhone SE 4 (or whatever the name will be of that phone) goes on sale, which is projected to be announced on 2/19, people could get a new iPhone 12 or 13 from Metro for $75 (plus, possibly, a few more $ for a new number that they could port to Metro for the deal) and trade the new iPhone 12/13 in for the new iPhone SE 4. Is anyone thinking about doing something like this? Of course there is no guarantee of the increased trade-in values for non-flagship cellular plans sticking around long enough for that to be an attainable deal.

That would be nice. Hopefully the promo is valid this week

Those iPhone XR and 11 deals were crazy at Costco when they had the big mail in rebate cards

And then Best Buy with the iPhone 12 and 13 deals. Good times

Just did online order via T-Life. App literally says for limited time, do online device upgrade and save $35. When I checked out and paid it was included. After I got my email confirmation with the order #, I did a chat on T-Life with them and they gave me $35 credit back to my account. So yeah, if the $35 fee is stopping you from ordering online you can chat with them. I have a screen shot. I know Costco / Sam have GC deals but I'm too lazy and don't have the time / patience to go through the whole call and wait a long time
