Jeez...

-Simple Choice is NOT eligible. No, your account isn't special. It won't work. You have to change plans

-If you don't walk out of the store w/ the new Iphone in your hand, you will get bill credits. Which means you are stuck for 2 years and the extra you're paying for the line lessens this deal.

-Deal is $500 rebate for 6s phones, $700 for iPhone 7 and beyond. If you have an iPhone 6 or lower, you're getting no rebate. End of story. There are no loopholes or "what ifs".

-Phone screen can't be cracked. Not a "what about a little crack in the corner" comment. It will be rejected. Same goes for "what about a home button not working." Try it, but don't be surprised when it gets rejected. It's your $700 gamble. Stop asking if it will work.

-If your screen is cracked, get it fixed by a 3rd party place before sending in. It's typically less than $100

-Phone can be unlocked after 40 days w/ a request to Tmobile, and then used with any wireless service.

-Can't cancel line until you get your rebate; then go ahead and cancel or port out. Rebate takes 2-3 months to get

-Phone supports dual sim, so put your current ph# on the Esim (just go to a Tmobile store and ask) and the sim card with your new # in the phone. Yes, you can now have 2 numbers on new iPhones. Then you don't risk the phone # not being active while waiting for the rebate.

-If you want a cheap iPhone 7, look on the internet. Don't be lazy. Otherwise try a boost mobile store and read the "instore promo" offers on their website. Some are shady, so ask everything they're charging you for.

-Lastly, don't trust the Costco wireless reps. Hundreds of people here have done this and similar deals. They know better than any rep you will meet, as they've all done these deals.
Please make sure that you buy the phone outright, meaning limited colors and storage options.

My local store didn't have the iPhone 11 in stock and I was told I'd still get the GC rebate. After reading all the paperwork, when I got home, this isn't the case. Had to go back to cancel the line and wait for the phone shipment to arrive to go back and return that (which you have to mail yourself with the label provided). 2 weeks later, EIP is still on my account.
You are talking CRAP.....stop telling untruths.

This is ABSOLUTELY wrong

ANY listed phone, ANY carrier.....as long as its in good condition and not icloud locked

Can someone break this down for me, sorry to beat a dead horse? I have two Iphone XS's that I have about $450-500 left on the payoffs. Now, for me, this trade in wouldn't make sense. So I was thinking of buying used Iphone 6s off facebook marketplace and then trying to get costco to accept them as trade.

If I do that, does anyone know the potential net value of it? How much do they give for the trade in, what remains on the gift card, and is it worth it? I am just trying to get a discount on the damn Iphone 11 Pro.

Does it have to be under the Costco members name? Reason asking is my mom has a Costco membership and sometimes I tag along with her to Costco. Can I open under my name too?

Thanks

I think there was a similar deal posted previously on this. This is really lacking details as well like trade in values, what phones are eligible, how the $700 is credited (monthly credits or PP card). Add these to the post at least or people will downvote you.
I thought in the past Costco deals would give you a gift card vs bill credits.

i think they apply trade in value to your account then whatever the difference is they give you in a gift card. similar to the deal they just had that would get you $580 on a trade in of an iphone.

Where do you guys buy the phone for trade in?
I just got mine from Amazon 3rd party (prime) seller for $180. Probably not the cheapest option but guaranteed delivery by Tuesday in time for this offer, plus it makes a brand new iPhone 11 only $180 which is pretty slick in my book.

It does say that its going to be a one time bill credit and a prepaid master card. Not sure about the amount we would get for each type of device we trade in.

that's the nature of phone carriers,or most companies, these days: no rewards for loyalty. fortunately many carriers offer the same or similar deals which allow you switch carriers but keep your number.

So what would be the net cost of a iPhone 11 after doing a iPhone 7 trade and canceling line after getting gift card? What would be my service charges in total? Would I be paying for 40 days of service and I can cancel on day 41 assuming I get the gift card by then? Anyone can breakdown the final cost if opening new account and purchasing 1 phone?
