Deal Details
This only works if you have an eliginle trade-in device. For example, Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra or S24 Plus (I tried these 2, they have the same trade-in value)

T-mobile is running the Get up to $1,100 off with trade-in on an Experience More or Experience Beyond plan. Offer Id: Samsung Galaxy Promo with Trade (ID260641)

I was able to trade-in my Unlocked Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra 256GB for S26 Ultra 256GB for $45.64 Monthly store credits for 24 months. After trade-in credits, the S26 Ultra 256GB ended up being $8.24/mo for 24 months or $201 total.

Costco T-mobile gives you a $100 Costco Gift card (waiting period 16 weeks after activation) for new device and waives the $35 connection fee. So after all said and done, my total was $1300 - $1100 (in credits) - $100 gift card = $100. The tax is added on the full phone price and is different per state requirements. My tax was $81.25.

Here is how to get to the deal (if you are ordering from Costco):
  1. Start with this https://www.costco.com/f/-/t-mobi...d-showcase
  2. Log into your Costco account
  3. Scroll approximately 1/3 of the page down, until you see the Upgrade your device offer under Costco member benefits.
  4. Click Upgrade Now button, then Visit External Link
  5. Log into your existing T-mobile account and ensure Costco Banner still appears at the top.

There is no catch - everything is clearly stated.

I, like many others here on SD, had a grandfathered SERO Sprint account that T-mobile converted to Experience More for $40/mo and 5 year price lock.

I was on the sprint sero plan back on my flip phone. It's amazing that people think they're getting a deal on grandfathered plans when they're being overcharged for the last 20 years πŸ˜‚

This is a useless comment. The deal is not a discussion about the plans. The deal is about swapping a 2 year-old phone for a new one for $100. Looks like some reading and comprehension work is needed here

OK, so direct linking does not work. Try this instead:
  1. Start with this https://www.costco.com/f/-/t-mobi...d-showcase
  2. Log into Costco account first
  3. Scroll approximately 1/3 of the page down, until you see the Upgrade your device offer under Costco member benefits.
  4. Click Upgrade Now button, then Visit External Link.
  5. Log into your existing T-mobile account and ensure Costco Banner still appears at the top.
I will update my original post with this
