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

What Costco is this? This says that the offer is valid for iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max, whereas everywhere else I've looked says that it only goes up to iPhone 11.
The offer is good for iPhone 11, 11 pro, 11 pro max, Xs, Xs max and xr

What I meant was if I did the $580, can I do this again? Is it the same rebate?
It's not the same

Am I reading this right? Only for those on unlimited plan and you have to add a new line? simple choice plans can't take advantage of the deal?

$500.

Do you know if the rebate promo code is different ? For the $580 promo it was COSTCO2019APPLETRADE. If it's a new promo code then people who already did 4 lines last time can also do this one as they are different promos

Someone said above it's a different rebate, but you have a good point. If it's the same rebate code then I'll be worried.

I haven't confirmed the promo code. But the terms are different very unlikely to be same promo.

On average it looks like a 7 costs about $100 more than a 6s. So comparing the last deal to this $700 - 580 = $120 looks to be basically exactly the same difference in cost if you were to buy an iphone 7 for ~$200 to trade in. Except now there might be even less iphone 11 options available.

But AFIK - This is not the price paid - it will be 10% off the price listed here. So iPhone 11 64GB will be ~$630 / 11 Pro 64GB 899 and 11 Pro Max 64GB 999 .....
How much for 128GB iphone 11?

Quote from sd99 :
If I have an existing T-mobile line/plan that I want to keep, what would be the best way to do this? Just add a new line, but put my old SIM card into the new iPhone, and then cancel the new line after I get the rebate?
That's what I did when T-Mobile used to have the $750 rebate. I think I cancelled the new line after 3 or 4 months. I unlocked the new phone first before I cancelled the line. But I have swapped the SIM cards since day 1 after I got the new phone. Excellent deal! Go for it.
