I forgot to post this yesterday, Apple now makes you select a date and time for you to pick up your order?
Does not matter, they will keep it for 7 days from the order date.

Has anyone tried to buy a Straight Talk iPhone 16e from Walmart for $200 (in-store) to use as a trade-in?
I traded in a few 13 from Walmart / StraightTalk / Total W before. fresh out of the box. Just update to latest iOS and factory reset again when treading in at Apple in person. They prefer that and it will save time. When mailing in does not matter. Works just fine.

How do you guys get the code submitted for the extra $100 with Costco? I keep getting errors on the website. Last time I submitted a TMo promo on there was a long time ago. Do we get the $100 automatically? Likely not. What's the hack to submit it?

someone mentioned that it is now automatic. But, I think I read in the pixel 10 thread that a few people had to call up Tmobile and start the process with them since it didn't do it automatically.

the last deal I did that was automatic for me was for the iPhone 17 upgrade a few months ago when you could trade a broken Samsung device.

Can I use my primary line number for the upgrade but instead pass on the device to my kid who has a free line on my primary account ?
You can easily swap eSIMs yourself via the T-Life app. You can also turn SIM > eSIM. To turn eSIM to physical SIM you need CS.

I think that I saw somewhere that it might qualify but the value would be less. are you and authorized user on her account?
I would call up Tmobile and ask what values you would get for your trades. I doubt the 11pro would get much. the $830 tier starts at iPhone 13, 13 mini, 14, and 14 plus...this level would be less for you IF your rate plan qualifies. I traded in 2 16e's, a 13 and a 13 mini

so I just called and they told me my iphone 15 Pro (512gb) would get me only $620, and I would still own $800 plus for a 17 Pro 1tb. Does not seem worth it imo

this deal is best for people who want a base iPhone
for example, that 17 pro would be 'free' via $1,100 in 24 credits.
I would buy a cheap 16e if you were to do this deal and sell the 15 pro privately.

I know it might be more work for some but here is an example:

buy the metro 16e deal for around $180. use that to trade in for your 1tb. sell your 15 pro for minimum $350 but I'm sure you could get more...and use that money to pay for the extra storage price of your 1tb

55+ is $900 depending on your trade. Why would you have to go to a store?

I just stopped by the T-Mobile kiosk at Costco today to look into upgrading a few phones. I am currently on the Go5G Next plan.
The sales rep advised me not to trade in my phones right now. He said it's a bad time to upgrade and that I should wait until the new phones come out. He confidently claimed that the $1,100 trade-in promotions will still be available when the new models launch.
Does this sound accurate? Can anyone confirm if it's safe to wait, or is he guessing? I just want to make sure I don't miss out on the current deals by waiting too long. Thanks!

it's definitely hard to say at the moment.
You have the Next plan so you might be safe but they can change the tiers

also, a lot of people are speculating if the price of the iPhones will go up with the latest increase of apple products....a base iPad is now $450! it's crazy at the moment.

which models are you looking to trade in?

I plan to trade in my iPhone 14 Pro for the 17 Pro Max. If I trade in now, I expect to pay around $5/month. However, a Costco rep just told me two things:1. They cannot waive the $35 activation fee unless I buy an accessory of the same price. 2. The Costco Shop Card promotion is only $75 per upgrade, not $100.Can anyone confirm if this is true

the rep is lying about the $35 fee. They can waive it but he wants to make a sale

You could try calling the Tmobile Costco line and doing it through them. They will try to push accessories and extras so it's up to you. I've done several upgrades with them and I feel bad to say no since they need to make a sale but I have never added any extras.

see if that link works

Get a $100 Costco Digital Shop Card when you upgrade your device.
that's what shows up as of now when you upgrade.
