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

So phones are free, pretty much paying monthly plan until you get rebate card. Pay off phone and it will be unlocked?

How long does it take to get rebate card?
Tax+monthly payments are literally all you pay. The phone has to be paid off entirely when you buy it and you can unlock it after a few months of service.

I have something similar and trying to sort it out for last one week. Almost everyday one the phone with T-mobiel for 1-2 hrs. I am ready to throw in the tower and return the phone and cancel that extra line. These Wireless Associates are nothing but a bunch of idiots

Buy an iPhone 7 and sell the iPhone 6s. Can be a hassle but saves you a lot more trouble and money.

Anyone know if I can buy a phone from a prepaid service like Totalwireless and trade that in? Does it matter that the phone would be locked to that service?
I was able to trade in a Total Wireless iPhone 6s on the last promo. It's fine if the phone is carrier locked, so long as it's in good condition, you disable Find My iPhone, and sign out of your iCloud.

I wouldn't try it. Their system may cause you not to get the $700 rebate. My experience is to make this as smooth as possible because they can deny you for every little reason and then you're stuck with a phone you paid full price for.

Quote from OceanTwelve :
What they pay you for your iPhone 6s is irrelevant but you should trade-in an iPhone 7 since you would get more money for it and the price difference between an iPhone 6s and 7 is only like $30-40. You will get $700 TOTAL regardless of how much they give you for your iPhone 7. Let's say your iPhone 7 is worth $40 to them, you would get $660 in a rebate card or let's say your iPhone 7 is worth $699 to them, you would get $1 in a rebate card. Expect to get $40-70 for the iPhone 7 depending on the condition.
The bill credit portion that is not on the rebate card will it be credited in the first month bill?
