Seems to sell for 750 retail price but then it says you're getting back 750 + 500 so effectively paying 250 two phones?
I missing something here??

Seems too good to be true...is a "Costco cash card" something you can only spend at Costco?

yes but most people spend a lot more than $500 on a shopping order ehen they go to Costco including myself.

There must be a catch-22 to this.

I mean, hopefully you're old enough to remember when these phones used to be FREE so just a subsidy from Costco to ensure a sale by them?

They are requiring at least one of the two to be a new activation, and $750 via "bill credits" ensures you'll stay with AT&T for presumably 24 months (on both lines).
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Only on one  but that means that phone is under contract for 2 years

AT&T is terrible in my area... Not for me...Unless I can unlock the phones easily.

If someone can figure out exactly how this works and is interested I would split it with someone   Only if they can be unlocked....
