Deal Details
YMMV, for certain targeted T-mobile customers. Free upgrade to iPhone 17 with EIP and any condition any trade-in (must have visible IMEI). Plan does not matter, only targeted accounts. Read the terms below carefully.

Just like the targeted Pixel 10 promotion, you can check if you have this offer by logging in online or T-life and making a test upgrade with a worthless trade-in (example IMEI 352363061652430). If the website or T-life offers you $830 promotional value for this worthless trade-in even if you declare it as broken, then you know your account has the promotion. Once you confirm your account has the promotion, take screenshots for your records and then you can purchase through any retail channel (i.e. Costco or Sam's for additional gc back).

Per the terms, you will get $830 RDC on iPhone 17 family for any trade-in in any condition as long as you can get the IMEI number [reddit.com]. So broken, non-functional phones work as long as the IMEI number is physically somewhere on the phone. If the online trade-in cannot find your IMEI, you will have to order through an agent.

Limit for R503 is 1 per account and R504 is 4 per account. T-mobile systems allows you to stack multiple EIPs and RDCs on your lines [reddit.com], as long as the promotions are different. If you pay off the EIP early, you will lose the corresponding RDC.

Sooooo...i hit up T-Force and asked if promo code R503 or R504 could be added to my account. After a short wait, the rep thanked me for my loyalty and said they would honor the R504 promo on one of my lines. She said to place the order and give her the order number so she could add the promo to the line.
Can you provide some screenshots? Trying to decide if I should try it.

Well… be careful with promises from customer service reps when a promo doesn't apply automatically. A lot of people have been burned by plan changes or credits that didn't end up being valid. Good luck!
I'd check my account after doing so to see if it was there first...

Don't know how to post screenshots through the app but here's what they said after i asked T-force via fb messenger if either promo code could be added to my account/line...

Thank you for your patience, and we truly appreciate your loyalty over the past 12 years with us.

I've taken a close look at the account and I do not see either promo R503 or R504 currently attached. That said, we absolutely want to recognize your long time loyalty. We will honor promo R504 for the $630 off on the iPhone Pro upgrade for the xxx xxx 1876 line.

Next steps are to place the order online or through the T Mobile app. Once the order is completed, please meet us back here with the order number and we will manually apply the promotion for you.

I just want to make sure we are on the same page before you move forward. Do you have any questions about the process?

Ok Tx. If this is how it went down, if you have screenshots you're probably good to go. Not sure if I'm gonna risk it though…

I am on One Plus plan with 12 lines and been with them for almost a decent.

I didn't get targeted, but I called in and they added the promo to my account. Thank you!

Had been with T-Mobile over 12 years. Wasn't targeted for the promos but called in and had them added to my account. Was able to place upgrade orders for 3 phones but ran out of IMEI #s to use. Reached out to family members and got more IMEIs but looks like the promos had been discontinued overnight. Sad but still good deal for 3 iPhone 17s.

Also was targeted for the Pixel 10 promo but they also discontinued that yesterday.

They must have been giving away quite a few phones lol
