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.

I am also on the ONE plan. The promotion did not show up on the website but showed up in the T-Life app.
Steps:
1. Open T-Life app. Login
2. Click on "Shop" icon
3. Scroll down to "Looking to upgrade?"
4. Choose a line to upgrade
5. Scroll down > Show more to find Pixel 10. You should see "See 3 promotions" banner. Click on "On us with any condition trade"
Definitely targeted. I'm on One plan. No $800 offer here in app or online. I have 8 active eips currently, so maybe I only get crumbs now.

I'm on the ONE Plan Unlimited 55 and when I follow your steps I only see "See 2 promotions" banner when I find the Pixel 10 phone. One is a $500 credit and the other is a $250 credit

Try force closing the Tlife app multiple times and checking again. I just had to do this 5 times or more for it to show up again.

Otherwise you may not be targeted for the promotion.

I'm on an old simple choice plan with 10 total lines. I was able to do this deal to upgrade 2 phones... A Samsung Galaxy A53 5G and a Samsung Galaxy A71 5G. I did it through Costco (all online) so it waived the $35 connection fee on each. I paid $58 in tax for each Pixel 10 (I'm in North Carolina). I assume I'll receive a $100 Costco card for each phone, as well, after a few weeks.

I think this started out as targeted because it wasn't working a few days ago. But when I checked yesterday, it worked.

Great deal. Thanks!

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.
I'm bummed that I missed out on the free ear buds. Didn't see it until after I placed the phone order for the phone (through Costco).

does it work on a locked iphone? unable to activate.
I have the same question. Does anyone know if an old iPhone Max XS will qualify if it's locked or blacklisted? I can grab the imei no problem, it's just a phone I found randomly years ago at a park.

Is this a trick that works for non-Costco members? I'm just asking because I want to waive the fee but don't have costco membership.

Been trying this and it always shows 2 Promos, neither of them being the $800 offer or "On us with any condition trade" or whatever

No.
Unless T-Mobile is running a temporary promotion to waive activation fee on upgrades, usually they only do that on adding a line.

Only Costco/Sam's waive the fee 100% of the time.
