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.

AGAIN- no-one should be trading in a valuable phone when an s10e or s10 or pixel 6 is the deal here….
Just checked and seem that all Apple phone accept the trade in at $500 for Samsung S10e. I was planning to get the i phone 15 for my daughter for $729 - $500 = $229.00. Will I qualify for the $100 from Costco if I do it there ?
$100 Costco card is for upgrading your phone
My T-mobile order confirmation shows my "Trade-in offer details" with "Estimated trade-in value $50.00. One time credit to your account"
There's no mention of the additional $+450 ($500 total) Bill Credit for the trade in. Is this normal?
I am still waiting for my iPhone to arrive before I go to my local T-mobile store to trade-in my phone (eligible Samsung S20 FE 5g)

Did that show up right after you left Costco, or after you received your iPhone and traded in your old device?

Do you see other things relating to your upgrade such as "EIP agreement", "E-Signature Terms and Conditions", or "Order placed" [for the new phones]? You may want to give TM (or Sam's) a call if the Promotion Enrollment doesn't show up by tomorrow.

Apple also waives $35 DCC charge. It also calculates tax based on discounted price after trade in deductions. The benefit through Costco is less $100 ($100 - tax diff) than Apple.

If you're really on a tight budget and your daughter is too young, go with the 16e to save $200.
