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 ☹️

Quote from Kings311 :
My Costco T-Mobile rep tried pulling the same thing on me. He said the $35 waiver is only if I purchase an accessory. I argued with him for a few minutes. He called his manager on the phone who agreed to waive the fee without an accessory purchase "as a courtesy". Total scam and dick move to spring that on me at the end of the transaction and insist that is required. I will report him.
I just look it up. They only get 10% commission for accessory. Not worth to hassle customers like that.

Is it worth trading my iPhone 13 for the 16, or hold to possibly get the 16e free after trade? They are offering $500 trade and waiving the $35 connection fee. $13 a month.
Currently in the same dilemma. Trading in my pristine iPhone 13. Base iPhone 16 comes out to $13 a month and the base 16e comes out to about $4 a month. (after the $500 from T-mobile and $100 Costco card)
Currently leaning towards the 16e

I have Magenta and I just got it
Interesting. Where did you get the offer? Last time I did it at costco they said I qualified and later the promo people said I didn't qualify (different promo).

Should I go for 16 or 16 pro? Almost feels like a waste to get the base model when getting 500 off. How is battery on 16?

Do they have the 16 pro at the store or do they ship them? I'm on magenta plan but do qualify for the 500 off and I'm considering going for the pro since as you said, basically half off

I've done all three over the phone via Costco.

If you are asking about Costco, they don't have stock in stores. They ship it out to you.

Also, only certain costcos sell Tmobile service

Is this expiring any time soon? I'd use it for my daughter who is on my plan who is away at college and won't be back for a few weeks.
I believe I did a deal like this some years ago when mine was in Kollege. I ordered an upgrade but had the phone shipped to her. When it arrived she took her new and old phone to a local T-mobile to finish the deal and ship her old phone.

Can I do through app and drop off trade in at the store? If I can avoid going in store to do the upgrade, getting upsold for 12 different things, and avoid the activation fee that sounds like a slam dunk

If you have a Costco account just call them it was a breeze. They waved the $35 activation you also get the $100 gift card
