Members who switch from AT&T, Verizon, Xfinity, Spectrum, USCellular, Claro, or Liberty Puerto Rico will receive a $200 Costco Shop card and a $250 Virtual Visa prepaid card, equivalent to $450. <\/p>\n

Customers can even stack the deal, meaning they can receive up to 12 $200 Costco Shop cards and a maximum of four $250 Visa cards if they add 12 lines to the account. The promotion is valid between June 18 and July 20. <\/p>\n

T-Mobile recently suffered major loss after angering customers<\/h2>\n

Costco\u2019s upcoming deal comes amid\u00a0an exodus of\u00a0T-Mobile\u00a0phone customers\u00a0after the provider implemented a series<\/a> of price hikes.<\/p>\n

The phone carrier revealed in its first-quarter earnings report for 2025 that the number of customers who cut their phone service increased by 5 basis points year-over-year. <\/p>\n

Also, while T-Mobile added 495,000 new postpaid phone customers during the quarter, that number is 6% lower than the amount it welcomed during the same time period last year. <\/p>\n
