Did you manage to do everything in a single day, or did it take longer (for example, waiting for Spectrum lines to fully activate)?
Could you please share the exact steps you took (online vs in‑store, eSIM/physical SIM, timing between ports) and any tips or gotchas to make sure the T‑Mobile promo at Costco actually applies and doesn't get denied?

Four months later "we're sorry, you did not meet the eligibility requirements for your promotional offer and will need to pay the remaining balance immediately".
Really have to look at the packing slip and be like "ok, phone XYZ is associated with phone number ABC, phone UVW with number DEF...."
They got me with that.
I did the t mobile deal at Costco. Benefits that activation cost of $35 per line is waivered but you only qualify for $75 per line gc. This covered taxes on the phones so everything was pretty much free (in CA)
They only offer phone deals on the more expensive monthly plans so it doesn't make sense. You have to leave carriers
I wanted to do the same but all 4 lines must be ported, new lines don't qualify
