A phone rep said it should work for both iPhone and Android device upgrades without adding a line or changing plan. But it didn't work for me online or at a Costco kiosk.


For Costco members:
Login to Costco, then go through "Upgrade device" on this page to make the deal sweeter ($100 Costco shop card): https://www.costco.com/f/-/t-mobi...d-showcase
I don't see a place to add a trade-in device when I go through Costco. It replaces the $930 promo with $100 Costco shop card promo which is not worth it. Likely because promo terms say "May not be combinable with some offers, discounts, or promotions"

Some users reported success by adding the new phone with trade-in device to the cart first, then following the Costco link to check out. I didn't try that as I didn't want to risk losing the $930 off.

Community Reviews

This is a targeted T-Mobile trade-in promo for legacy accounts, best for customers on grandfathered plans who can keep their current rate and use bill credits over 24 months, or 36 months on newer plans. The strongest reports show up to $930 off, with some accounts getting smaller credits like $600, $730, or $899 depending on plan and eligibility. Costco can waive activation fees and sometimes stack a $100 shop card, though the Costco flow may replace the main promo unless the cart is handled carefully. The main caveat is that many Simple Choice, One, Magenta, Go5G, and migrated accounts never see the offer or only get reduced terms, so eligibility is highly account specific.

when I try to do same, it shows 250 only. and ask for a plan change to get additional 849. Same over 24 months Any link to get the deal directly, I am also on simple choice
So this is what it showed for me also. I posted previously but now I got it all finalized. I did this order as displayed and then once the pixel 11 shipped my rep via T-force went in and took out that promo and applied the updated promo which gave me $899 credit for 24 months. Let me get the screen shot ready and I will post again as well to show proof

Anyone experience the promotion being applied differently if going through Costco - looking to upgrade my pixel 7 to the pixel 11 using the "free on us" promotion.

I am on the Experience Signature w/55+ Savings (3 lines) - within the last 60 days I was migrated over to this plan from a previous 55+ (magenta???) adding about $25 in monthly costs - I have been with Tmobile for over 20 years and they have migrated my plan many times.

In the TLife App I just went through the process up to the point of actually placing the order and paying the $35 activation fee plus the $75+ in taxes. No issues, 24 monthly bill credits and full trade in value as expected.

Went through Costco's site hoping to get the $100 gift card and new phone activation fee waived but unfortunately the Costco site tells me that I need to upgrade my plan to take full advantage of this offer and instead it offers me only $100 in trade in value.

Anyone else experience this and is there a fix?


Update: As others had mentioned on this site I was able to place the new phone in my cart within the TLife App and then I logged in to Tmobile through the Costco website link where it still showed the phone in the cart with the appropriate terms and conditions for the free phone on us promotion. I was able to check out and place my order this way (BTW - I had attempted to do this previously and it didn't work but on my second try about 30 minutes later it seemed to work).

A 3 year contract.
"up to 36 months". Only the new 2.0 plans have 36 month Eips, of which No legacy plans that qualify for this are.

How many people are going to mention this when it doesn't apply?

I got the Pixel 11 and I'm on the Experience Signature aka the old One plan. I traded in an old worthless Motorola Edge 2022. I got $450 credit over 24 months. Since I got the $20 a month internet for 5 years a few months ago as a backup internet, I'm not changing providers for awhile.

Carrier subsidies almost always include costly tradeoffs on higher price or crappier service in the long run
