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 ☹️

Those of you doing this at Costco, you're walking out with a new phone and handing them your trade in yes?

What colors of iPhone 16 are they stocking in store? I'm sure it varies but I'd like an idea if it's black only like Metro/Walmart/Straight Talk or if there's colors that my wife and daughter would want.

Also wondering if they stock any 256GB models.
Thanks!

Is the extras benefits from doing this promo through Costco or Sam's club better? And what are the specific benefits of the two? How do they differ?

Haven't been following the phone deals for the past few years. Currently on the old ONE plan so eligible for the $500 trade in credit. Is the ONE plan typically not eligible for trade in credits? Just want to gauge how hot and rare of a deal this is for folks on old legacy plans.

They have to order them for you for delivery. Nothing is stocked in store. That is the change from when it was a Costco/Sams club store to now a t-mobile store in a store (as they call it). For the trade in, you can mail it in, or drop it off at a t-mobile corporate store.

Didn't get any deals for ONE for at least 2 years (if not 3). Best Buy was the last to have deals for One

If you don't want to unlock the phone for the next 2 years, then this is a rare deal for you

I went into Costco for some regular shopping and asked the rep about this deal. All sorts of misinformation like he can't order the 14, it was 15 or higher. Also claimed the trade-in was for 11 plus or higher. I plan on trading my son's 11 for the upgrade. I said thanks we will think about it. Will try the costco phone number instead.

iPhone 11 will only give you $250 credit. you need iPhone 11 pro or higher for maximum credit.

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$Total price: 1094250$ bill credit should apply over 24 months15$ credit for trading iphone 8 plusCostco shop card: 100$Final price after all the credits, trade-in & costco card: 729Came 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.https://imgur.com/a/OMNTHYeAnyone 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?
I placed order for 16 Pro too in WA, not sure why I was charged $103.5 sales tax.

here is something I forgot about.
So let's say we did a promotion from Costco by upgrading previously. I did the Moto edge promotion last year and received a $75 Costco card (4x)

If we upgrade those same lines, will this invalidate the $100 Costco cash card for this upgrade to the 16 series?
