Edit 8/27/2026, Looks like trade-in deal is MOSTLY DEAD. On 8/21 it was revised to no longer accept broken devices, and on 8/27 modified so that older devices only get a $450 credit instead of $900.
Original post: Existing T-Mobile customers can get up to a $900 trade in value on Google Pixel 11 phones. The trade in can include some lower end phones, and works on older calling plans (including Go5G and ONE, but not simple choice)
The correct rebate only showed when I was logged into my T-mobile account. It says it's for "Essentials and select legacy plans". My old T-Mobile ONE plan worked. (edit: others have reported Simple Choice plans don't work, only a $250 rebate)
Here is a link to the base Pixel 11 for an example:
https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-pho...e-pixel-11
For a base Google Pixel 11 this would make it basically free. For higher end models it's a $900 discount.
Interestingly, the plan says the credits are split out over 36 months, but the checkout and my actual order confirmation show it's only spread over 24 months.
Important for Costco members: ordering from costco saves you a $35 device connection fee and may get you a $100 Costco card:

So your "regular" trade in is $140 and you get that up front.
The remainder is spread out over 24 or so months of bill credits. Which you won't get any more if you cancel your service or pay off that device.
No here's the kicker, when I add 3 device trade in's, my monthly price and total due today don't change! The only thing I see is $145 in "Estimated one-time trade-in credit" something sneaky is going on, because it says I should get $500 per pixel 7, but what happens is the prices of the due today just shift around and you're still paying the same monthly and due today costs!
Same concept when you trade in a car when buying new. Say you have a trade-in car worth 20k and are buying a 50k car. You would be remiss to say "Great deal, I only paid 30k for that new car."
Not trying to rain on your parade. Just pointing out so others see how cellular carriers, and car dealerships, actually play the game. That's why in the case of these phone deals, it's wise to trade in the cheapest phone you can find that qualifies for the promotion rather than a pricier one. Yet many customers do it anyway, often out of convenience, which I understand, but convenience always has a price.

The increase is up to $6 per line excluding the free lines. So those with free lines still ok.

To anyone considering this. They churn their plans almost yearly and make your last year's plan legacy, which is normally not eligible for most of the phone deals.
