T-mobile changed their upgrade policy since the last deal, good and bad.

Good:
Costco members can get their $100 upgrade gc, $35 connection fee waived, and 90 day return policy through online orders. No more waiting at the kiosk, no more hard upsells, no more calling the help desk. Order online at your convenience. Must start the order through the upgrade button on the Costco T-mobile page [costco.com]. If your trade-in IMEI is not accepted by the online system, you will have to call in or visit the kiosk where they can override the system.

Read the wiki, some SDers got the Costco link to work by either bruteforcing it to the end or adding the items in T-Life cart then switching to Costco to finish.

Bad:
Certain free lines no longer qualify for upgrade promos. Previously, all lines allowed upgrade promos, but no longer. You will have to check line by line to see which allows upgrading (the system will warn you if the line does not qualify). You can still stack upgrade EIP / promos on the same line then use the phone on a different line.

$35 activation fee waiver worked by adding the phone and earbuds to cart on the t-Life app and then going to the costco link. Thanks

Since when?
My last 3 upgrades, shipped to me, I did the trade in at a Corporate store. Last one was in November.

I do know some employees will Refuse to do the trade in because they aren't making any extra commission.

The instructions on the order literally say you can do this:
"Trade-in next steps

Once your new device is shipped, you'll have 30 days to return your trade-in. You can do it in-store or ship it."

Exceptions are Yearly Upgrade, Jump, and Authorized Retailers.

Yes, they don't care what phone you are using, as long as you pay your bill.

No worky through online/website. Not sure if the deal is dead or if the website has an issue but it just disappears after clicking through to the external upgrade site from Costco...
I have same issues. Just follow through and you will see the trade in credit listed before making payment. Don't forget to add the free pixel buds 2 with full payment upfront. It is free.

Does the 55+ plan (with three lines) work for this? It looked like it only wants to give me $250 trade in credit when I was clicking around but wasn't sure if I was missing certain steps

I just successfully did this for 3 Pixel 10's after chatting with a rep on my existing Magenta 55+ account with 3 lines. I also received one set of pixel buds (max per account). I should also be receiving 3x $100 shop cards from Costco. Thanks OP!
How did you chat with a T-Mobile rep and get the Costco gift cards? We have a 55+ plan with three lines. (Are there multiple tiers of 55+)?

Is your free line the Unlimited Line on Us?

Any guesses how long this will run? One of my past upgrades will be paid off in about 9 days. I could jump now and eat the last old credit, or wait and hope it's still available.

Were you planning on trading that phone in?

You can have multiple EIPs on the same line. I just did this promo on a line that currently has the pixel 9 Pro promo from 2024.
