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.

question -- does this obligate tmobile to rate lock my plan then, if I am getting bill credits for the phone? or can they change the terms on my plan and I am forced to pay a higher rate for the plan or pay off the phone and leave? I am asking because it is actually offering me the $500 and I am on some insanely cheap kickstarter plans right now...
Is this normal, can someone let me know who has traded through Costco if that's the case!
TIA

looks like you are trading in an expensive phone

You need to trade in the cheapest (Samsung S10e) from ebay $100- then sell the 13 pro for hundreds of dollars
Never trade in an expensive phone- you are getting only a $200 discount in effect- not $400
I did this with my 14 pro max
$1330 inc tax+ $110 for s10e- $500 credit, $550 from sale of 14PM……$100 costco gift card…..

One of the first statements in that link is "take it with a grain of salt". Perhaps a little premature to ring the alarm bells.
