Most of the questions asked here are either in the promotion posting, or are just stupid. Read before posting.
The document tells you which items will be accepted for trade. You can NOT do a IP6, or SE, or Samsung, etc.
It really does not matter how much they give you for the trade. The total rebate you will get will total $580.
Yes, this promotion is for people adding T-Mobile new lines. Duh! Think!
Simple math tells you that trading in an XS or XR is probably not going to make sense in most cases. So, if then don't. Duh!
Nobody has asked yet, but yes the phone must be paid for. And yes it must work. And yes it must not be broken. Duh!
And yes, you must have a Costco card to pay for the phone.

But Costco ONLY had the iPhone 11 in: black, white and red.
According to a user here, they were able to purchase a purple iPhone 11. I chatted with costco a few minutes ago and he said that my local store has the purple and green iPhone 11 in stock.
I sent yesterday and it is in transit. So just checking if I should just wait for the phone to reach !!
The moral of the story is that the entire mail-in credited process took one week for me. Understandingly, shipping and processing time will be dependent primarily on your location and your original processing time. Moreover, they maybe processing at their peak of this promotion. I think, it is fairly simple to ascertain the logic. For most cases, if you have no issue getting a mail-in prepaid label(s), then you will be credited for your trade-in(s) in a reasonable and timely manner.
Patience my friends, patience!

So I have a iPhone6S that I use currently on a SimpleChoice Plan. Since I didn't want to lose the plan, I ended up having a friend open a new account and signed up for 4 lines (2 for him, 2 for me) and got 4 new iPhone 11. So I have to send the iPhone6S in and get the trade-in value as a bill credit and the rest as a Mastercard - all that is fine and I understand that part.
My question is the new iPhone 11 is on a new number which I don't care about. Can I use my existing number and existing SIM on this phone and start using it? Will it cause any issues in the rebates ie does the same phone need to be active on the same number at the time of rebate.

That is why I said it the way I did. When phones get received at 11am or noon, naturally nobody is informed at the wireless kiosk and they have no knowledge of it until the next morning with the new inventory sheet.

I just opened a case with the post office. But expect I am now out of luck with the rebate.
My rebate phone appears lost by the post office. -- wondering if I can cut my losses and return the iphone 11 to Costco?
I went to the store yesterday to return and the rep at the kiosk said they could not accept returns after 14 days, that they could only do exchanges. I argued with her quite a bit but she kept insisting that she couldn't do anything and that the system would not even allow her to process a return. I'm pretty sure this was the same rep that sold me the phone, so my guess is she doesn't want to lose out on her commission.
I see that there has been a lot of talk about returning phones in this thread. Has anyone had any trouble? Is there any way I can escalate this? She would only give me the kiosk phone number, which I'm sure just goes directly to her. How do I make them follow their own policy and the legal contract that I signed if they just keep stonewalling me?
Note that I did not do any promotion when purchasing this phone because I thought there was a good chance I would return it. I'm not trying to get a free rebate card out of this.
Though, I can't offer you exact directions on finding where it is once you're logged on.
Why is this such a big issue? All iphones are dual sim and you can switch sim cards on the fly. You can assign a particular contact to use another sim. So assign that sim to your spouse or someone else so you end up calling often. That way its even easier.
After bombarding wireless advocates twitter and any associated email I could find, I finally got a customer support number (1-888-369-5931). None of their sites or social media have a number or email of course. I explained the situation to the rep on the phone and they absolutely agreed that I was correct, but that could not handle the return over the phone/email. I would have to go to the kiosk to process the return. They suggested either trying another Costco or going to the same Costco and then having the rep call the 888 number and have them explain it to the rep over the phone.
Part of me wants to go to the same rep and rub it in their face. Part of me wants to just go to another Costco that will probably process the return no problem. I guess I'll decide based on how bad traffic is tomorrow.
