Deal Details
Available today only via the T-Life app or through Costco app is the 11" 128GB Apple iPad (A16) for free with qualifying data plan. Costco sweetens the offer with a waived device connection charge (up to $35) and a $25 Costco shop card. The 25GB Data Tablet with Beyond Savings 2.0 Plan is $5 with Go5G Next, Better Value, or Experience Beyond accounts. Term is for 36 months so it will cost you $5x36= $180 for the term of the contract plus sales tax and fees. Upfront costs for me were $52.50 for the sales tax.

Costco instructions: visit https://www.costco.com/f/-/t-mobi...d-showcase and scroll down to "Get $25 when you purchase a new watch or tablet and activate a new line," it will then start a Costco/T-Mobile shopping session.

Do you need to be an existing customer to make this work? Seems an insane deal.

Edit: ignore, needed to look up the t-mobile acct types.

Cheapest plan on Go plan is $15/m. I'm good. I loved tmo until recently. Still like their services but they went from the value leader to the most expensive carrier. I can get two lines and fiber bundled through ATT for $80 cheaper than my tmo two lines and wireless internet.

But it does if you are on those plans like the post says? I added an additional screen shot from T-mobile that says this.

You have to select the "25GB Tablet with Beyond Savings 2.0" plan that is $5 if you are on Experience Beyond, Better Value, or Go5G Next lines like the post details say.
