$400 Virtual Prepaid Mastercard when you switch to T-mobile
T-Mobile
T-MobileDeal Details
Apparently, T-Mobile's recent greedy and anti-Un-carrier policies, along with moves from other carriers, have forced them to run another ( more numbers game). This time, the $400 is not a combination of Costco and T-Mobile rebates, instead, it is a single $300 or $400 virtual prepaid card from T-Mobile when you port your number over from the competition.
The Essentials plan ($100 plus taxes) will give you $300 per line. The 4-line plan for $170 will give you $400 per line for up to 4 lines, that is essentially 8 to 9 months of free service. And if you are able to snag an Insider Discount, it's an even better deal.
This deal also also stacks with the Keep & Switch promo. This is T-Mobile's standard switching promo that offers up to $800 back via rebate card to offset paying off your existing phone from your previous carrier.
This promo came last night, and as of right now, it seems Costco is still running its separate promotion. I am not sure if someone can get this T-Mobile promotion plus the $250 of the costco cash card, which would have made this deal a killer deal, but as of right now, it is not the case.

The worst part now, I recently upgraded my phone with their Trade-in promotion and got stuck there for next 21 months now. Otherwise, I would have made a move too.

From back when Sprint was being absorbed into T-Mobile, I am well aware of T-Mobile's strategy of having as confusing of promotions as possible (such that any mistake is to their benefit), but I've also done these BYOD promos at Sprint and T-Mobile pre/post-merger both online and at Costco when their combined management attempted to run up subscriber numbers to defraud shareholders (and who could forget both T-Mobile and Sprint CEOs basically admitting to Congress they've lied to consumers for years about their networks, both are completely junk, and they HAVE to have a merger or else?), so I'm no spring chicken myself.
We each have over $800 owing at AT&T on our phones upgraded at the end of last year, with one of them about to go below $800. I would like to maximize the BYOD AND the Keep and Switch promos if possible, if Costco is available that would be a bonus. I would like to add 2 new lines at AT&T (for a total of 4 to max out BYOD) before moving to T-Mobile, but probably cannot finance 2 new phones as those must sit on the account for at least 3 months for Keep and Switch purposes. If anyone has suggestions on the order of steps to take I would greatly appreciate it.
