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 ☹️

can this be stacked with the promo that they'll pay off your balance for moving from Verizon or AT&T to T Mobile? I don't owe much but I do have a balance on one of my iphones on my plan, if they would pay that off then allow me to trade it, that would be ideal.

Yeah you can buy it thru Costco and drop the trade in at a t-mobile store. But they won't be enthusiastic about it because they are on commission and don't make any $$$ for doing your trade in.
This is so true. I was successful only once when the manager was around. Other than that, they always refuse and tell us to ship the trade-in.

My last payment on my iPhone won't be complete until later this month. Any idea how long this promo is available at Costco / Tmobile?

Thanks for all the help! Went to the T-Mobile store locally and they verified that they would take my daughters 13 mini with a shattered back. So now I am keeping the 13 pro max Smilie upgrading the 13 mini and 13 pro to two 16 pros since we only update every 4-5 years. I'll put in for the two $100 Costco gift cards when the phones get here.

You should be able to pay if off since it looks like the EIP was prior to 7/1/24 since it falls off this month. Have you tried a mock upgrade? It might allow you to do it.

Just did this deal at my local Costco. Took about 15 minutes.

Traded in an iPhone 14 Pro 128GB and upgraded to an iPhone 16 Pro 512GB, got the full $830 credit via immediate credit on fair market value of existing phone + promotional credits over 24 months. New phone isn't in stock, so getting it in the mail and planning to turn in my old phone to a local T-Mobile store.

Total cost, $99 down payment + tax on MSRP of phone + monthly payments for the remainder of the balance after credit (roughly $15/mo over two years). They waived the $35 activation fee and gave me a flyer to redeem a $100 Costco Shop card (promo code 240150 as others have mentioned here).

I had to educate the T-Mobile associate on this deal (actually showed them this Slickdeals page), as he wasn't aware that it also applied to Magenta Max plans. Which makes me think this might be the last time that this level of deal is available to plans that are not based on Go5G.

It seems dead now. It has dropped to $630 credit and not $830. Super frustrating that I couldn't get through with Costco's phone number. The hold time must have been insane. Was there a limit on the Costco gift cards or did I miss out on $400 for 4 lines? I got the deal through tmobile online as i haven't seen a magenta max deal in over a year.

Sucks that they charge tax on MSRP of the phone. Why not charge tax on the discounted amount like we pay for everything else?

The promotions (plural) are alive. Your plan only qualifies for $630. Read the OP, wiki, or t-mobile.com promotions list.

Just upgraded from a 13. This seems to be the most underwhelming upgrade yet.
