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

As usual, only a deal for people trading something in. And xfinity deals are always where you have to port a line over. There's never any good deals for someone with no line or phone who wants an iPhone.

So we can just buy the phone and plan and not even use it and turn around to submit as trade in? There is no contract or anything correct?

Why no deals on outright purchases? Just give me a little discount, I don't want BOGO but give me like 20% off.

Are new costco members eligible for this deal? In other words, how many days of costco membership you should have atleast maintained before you are eligible for its discounts in electronics?
I think there is no such requirement

Why do these deals always need to add a line? We have 2 lines and don't need a third - I just want a new phone.. So annoying.....

Phone is paid off as per my understanding for $50... No contract for phone....But it will be locked to Boost... To unlock you need to be with carrier for quite some time i guess... i am gonna try it.... Just buy and trade in🤞

Quote from chaoss :
Yes, it should be a different promo code.
Now, if there is a limit to 1 or 4, I'm not sure. I can't see the terms so clearly.

The issue will be that you will be paying about 1-2 months extra since you have to wait for the new rebate cards.
I plan to cancel the 4 lines after receiving vGCs from the first promo. Would that be okay?

Quote from hellojellojw :
But would Tmobile allow me to get the $700 rebate instead of $580?

Are you saying youre gonna manage 8 lines across 2 accounts? thats insane lol
I'm planning to manage all 8 lines under the existing account till I get first set of vGCs. Then only new 4 lines till I get the second set.
