See previous threads here on T-Mobile. They have become really consumer unfriendly in the last couple of years.
2) Phone cannot be cracked in the screen and no moisture/water damage. Also, cannot have destroyed pixels and dead spots. The back of the phone can have some wear & tear and cracks.
3) Best deal is to buy a Samsung S10 from eBay for your trade-in. This promotion will probably last another two weeks based on what they are saying from the subreddit.
4) You can get $100 Costco cashcard for being a Costco member. You can call or in-store. I've done both. I would probably call as it was quicker and just as simple. You also don't need to bring the phone with you. Just an IMEI. Just make sure the phone you are submitting qualifies or else you're going to be in a heap of trouble submitting the IMEI of a phone that might come cracked, etc.,
5) You can ship your trade-in phone or bring it in to a T-Mobile corporate store. Just tell them you have a phone to trade in... They will do basic checks and automatically approve your phone for trade-in on the spot. Saves you the hassle of UPS losing your trade-in phone during shipment.
Most of these questions have been asked... Just look at the old T-Mobile thread from two weeks ago.

We don't get deals
My S23+ is in excellent condition and looks new!
If your EIP started before July 2024 you could pay the phone off and keep the credits.
Anything from July 2024 forward loses the credits if the EIP is paid off early.

If I trade in and get stuck for 24 months and T-Mobile increases prices on my Simple Choice plan, that would suck

Quite annoying realization as I've been a customer for over 20 years, since the days of voicestream. Might be time to hop around carriers with new customers deals.

I'm not looking at switching anytime soon, unless I can get a better deal than my 5 lines for $78 after tax and fees that I currently pay (Simple Choice).
