I am a Costco member would LOVE to price match to get the 128GB WiFi Rose Gold..I think right now on their site it shows up as 719 at least its sort of a discount
That's awesome. I cancelled my order today since I decided to stick with the 12.9.
Thanks! I just showed them it in person from the online ad. Zoomed in on where it said LTE and showed them the cellular bar on the back. It's clearly a cellular in the picture.

I went to best buy and the manager approved it. Great discount. I would try it before Costco changes the picture.
yeah the picture is LTE but on description it doesnt say anything related to LTE!
Edit: Nevermind i figured out the LTE part.
Edit: Do they sell it on full price? or do i need to get on AT&T account or something like that to get it?

I think Costco realized their mistake late Monday or Tuesday and removed any reference to LTE (it said LTE Monday). But they still kept the LTE picture up, so there's a chance you can still get the price matched at a Bestbuy or Walmart type store.
yeah i will give it a shot tomorrow. lets see what do they have to say about it! i hope i can buy it outright.
Yep, Best Buy price matched all right. Tough part was finding a store with stock!
Hopefully the attached screenshot (from before Costco took it down) will be of some help.

Did you get them to price match over the phone? Im a Costco member so thinking once I get rid of the iPad I have now I can try price matching costco to best buy for that price..no store in my area has them in stock til supposedly next Saturday
No, I went into the store.
I realize it looks like stores will have stock on Saturday (or similar upcoming days), but my experience is that means if you order today, and choose 'ship to store', they'll have it for you as soon as Saturday/whenever.
Here in EU, the 256gb IPP 12.9 wifi costs 1019€ or 1139$ on todays rates. How ridiculous is that? This whole EU and free markets are a completely joke.
Anyone else have any luck price matching with the PDF provided above at Best Buy? Also thanks BeatCrazy for the PDF I am going to try today at Best Buy to price match.
Update. Went to Best Buy today to pickup my IPad Pro 10.5 wifi/LTE 256gb model and showed them BeatCrazy PDF and they priced match Costco $719.99 price vs $879.99 I would have paid. Thank You very Much BeatCrazy for saving me $160.00 dollars!
No guys there is no price mistake, this is what costco does with everything they get. They do get 30 dollars off per iPad then the usual price. And also they do go on sale a lot more. In a month or 2 the iPads will be on sale for an additional 50-80 dollars off. Trust me I've worked there for 8 years now. And I do want to get to the bottom of knowing if they sell the cellular version. I'll get a confirmation and update back here today.
Wow, congrats! But that Best Buy worker totally messed up by price matching a cellular iPad with Costco's wifi only price.
They did look and see if it was a cellular model before they gave me the price match
But the costco page is definitely a wifi model, not a cellular model. There is no LTE band on the rear of the iPad pictured, there is no "LTE" in the item title, etc. Costco typically gives a $30 discount on electronics like this, which is what the discount is here shown on the wifi $749 item.
There was a cellular band on the pictures and LTE was mentioned in the description. After the OP was made they removed the LTE from the description (so obviously it was a mistake on their part), but they kept the cellular picture up.
