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

Does Magenta plan cost the least among all the qualified plans?

the Apple Pay loophole closed several months back.
Some people have had success with Venmo.
Apple Pay trick no longer works?

So I find a iphone 6s and above. Take it to costco for trade in. Activate a line and get the rebate. Wait for the rrebate to post and them cancel the service after 40days. Is this how it works? I haven't done these kind of trades before so just wondering. Also what's the cheapest plan eligible for this offer.

OP Here: To everyone asking how I can say iPhone 6 is eligible - for the last year or so that these promos have run, T-Mobile and Costco have featured identical promos simultaneously, with the only difference being bill credits at T-Mobile with EIP vs rebate card at Costco with outright purchase. The T-Mobile version of this deal lists iPhone 6 as an eligible device in the FAQ here if you scroll down: https://www.t-mobile.com/content/...spect.html

What devices can I trade in to qualify for this offer?
Eligible trade-ins (in good condition) for the offer include:

For $700 off:
Apple iPhone: XS, XS Max, XR, X, 8, 8 Plus, 7, 7 Plus (any variant)
For $500 off:
Apple iPhone: 6, 6 Plus, 6s, 6s Plus (any variant)
Please remember that your trade-in device must be fully paid off and owned by you.

So it's my educated guess that iPhone 6 will also qualify, unless they made a typo, and I'm sure someone can verify by calling T-Mobile Promotions directly by referring them to the Costco promo code specifically.
Your link doesn't include 6


2. Trade in a qualifying iPhone.
Eligible devices for trade-in (in good condition) to get iPhone 11 On Us:
iPhone XS Max
iPhone XR (64GB; 128GB)
iPhone XS
iPhone X (64GB)
iPhone 8
iPhone 8 Plus
iPhone 7
iPhone 7 Plus
Eligible devices for trade-in (in good condition) to get $500 off:
iPhone 6s Plus
iPhone 6s

But below + shows 6

Eligible trade-ins (in good condition) for the offer include:
For $700 off:
Apple iPhone: XS, XS Max, XR, X, 8, 8 Plus, 7, 7 Plus (any variant)
For $500 off:
Apple iPhone: 6, 6 Plus, 6s, 6s Plus (any variant)
Please remember that your trade-in device must be fully paid off and owned by you.

Can anyone confirm ?

So need a new iPhone for the wife. Is it worthwhile to just open a new Tmo account and get 1 phone/line or better to sign up for multiple lines?

so i bought a iphone 6 some years ago used. I remember haggling with the seller that it is not paid off and locked to att.

will that still show up now? Is there a way to check that?

I forget the website to check if its is clean or not. That passed and later on ATT told me its not paid off.
