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

Clicking this link and READING will answer most of the questions I'm seeing here:

https://membershipwireless.com/tmobile-iphone

Last time this deal was around it DID include the Pro models but colors and capacities were limited.
Another thing to do is make sure you get the new iPhone FROM COSTCO IN PERSON and don't agree to them shipping you another model they don't have in stock. This will convert your $700 rebate into monthly credits from Tmo and you're locked in.

Damn I got on their $580 deal earlier but haven't shipped the trade-in phones yet. I have the 7plus. Am I still able to get on to the $700 deal?

A couple questions:

Can you port over a number for the new line?

Can you trade in 2 phones, get 2 new ones, and only add one line?

Thanks!

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.
If you buy the base 11, it's about $630 in the store now.

You will only get $630 total back. No more than the purchase price.

Is this new line activations or activating at the store itself? I'm thinking of trading in my iPhone XR for the 11 but don't want to add a line.
Dude you are kidding right? You are not brand new here.

Need to add a line and activate in store. Pfft

where did you find this information.

I have done this twice. They can be locked to a carrier, but must not be iCloud locked. They do not care if there is a sim card in it or what account it is on. One of mine was a purchase online.

If we buy an used iPhone 7 locally how do we check that it is not iCloud locked? Anyway to tell before making the purchase or once we buy and reset to factory default it will no longer be iCloud locked? So pretty much any iPhone 7 will work as long as no cracked screen and can be carrier locked as well correct? How about minor scratches on the phone, but not on screen?

I read through most of this thread but wanted to confirm.
I would like to get a new iPhone and have an old iPhone 6+ I can trade in. Am I correct to assume I can trade that phone in (possibly) towards a new iPhone and start a new cheapest line available, then cancel that line once I received the rebate? Which mean my cost is minimal in terms of dollar spent and trading that iPhone 6+ in to upgrade to one of the newer iPhone? Thank you in advance.

What is meant by "online order"? Does it mean the store needs to have the phones physically there? Thanks

Let us know when you figure this out. Thanks.
iPhone 11 $630+tax + 2-3 months of service (cheapest $60 + tax) - $700 rebate after 6-8 weeks. You can unlock on day 41 but if you didn't receive the rebate by then you'll lose out on it if you cancel the service.

Hey, can we get a definitive answer on whether Simple Choice plans are excluded? I can't see the "qualifying plans" terms that the OP listed either in the T-mobile or the Costco promo...

So if you have a iPhone 6s to trade in, the prior deal for $580 back was actually better than this one which only gives you $500 back.
