Deal Details
I'm on grandfathered Simple Choice plan and received this text from T-mobile:
iPhone 17. Your exclusive offer is here and it's just for you.
You're eligible. Get iPhone 17 On Us. For a limited time, trade in any phone, in any condition, on your current plan, and get it On Us, up to $930 off. With up to 36 monthly bill credits. For well-qualified customers; plus tax. Limit 1 per account.

It may explain why some of you don't see this deal if you didn't receive or respond to that text.


Depending on your account's financing plan, you may see 24 or 36 monthly bill credits.
I got the $930 discount through 24 monthly credits with waived activation fees with trade-in of a broken iPhone 6.

Contact us before cancelling entire account to continue remaining bill credits, or credits stop & balance on required finance agreement is due (e.g., $929.99 - iPhone 17 256GB). Bill credits end if you pay off device early. Tax on pre-credit price due at sale. Limited time; subject to change. Qualifying credit, service ($60+/mo. plan w/AutoPay; plus taxes/fees) & trade-in any device required. Trade-in terms and conditions apply. If you don't meet promo requirements, your price/promo will be impacted. Up to $930 via bill credits; line with promo must be active and in good standing to receive credits; allow 2 bill cycles.

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.

This is why I am trying to move away from T-Mobile. I don't want to be forced from my old plan but I'm sure it's only a matter of time. Plus 36 months is not worth it - that's a car loan term (I know I'm dating myself by saying that) not a phone.

I didn't get/see no notification or anything. However I went through the steps to get the Pixel 11 Pro and included my broken s23 ultra as trade-in and it says $900 trade in credit promo. $100 without promo.
what steps you are following ?

The deal worked for me after I went all the way through the checkout process.
I'm on Experience Signature Military plan and added an iphone 17 to cart and my trade in information. At first it only showed $300 promo but when I checked out, it showed the full offer mentioned in this post coming out to $0 monthly
