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

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.
don't forget to factor in that the iPhone 11 64GB is only $630 at Costco.

there is a chance the $700 rebate will only qualify for $630 on this purchase.

Yes, it does. That's the sheet protector. Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

Scroll around to see the T-Mobile / Costco paper that's inside the sheet protector.

Is this considered as a new promotion to the previous $580 deals? I opened four lines 2 days ago with iPhones 6S trad in. Can I add one more line to my magenta plan with this deal with iphone 7 trade in and not conflicting with the limit of four lines per account?

The up-to $700 specifically means that. You will get how much you paid (before taxes) or $700 whichever is lower.

If your porting 4 lines you can get 4 lines for $100 on boost. Each phone will be $50+$25(monthly service)+taxes/activation
Yes just bought a Iphone 7 from boost... $50 phone + $50 plan + $4 tax = $104....

I am planning to add 1 more line... same phone price but it becomes family plan and its + 30 so might be $85 for next line

[QUOTE=ffly45;132191092]Costco is offering $700 (or up to price paid for phone, whichever is lower) virtual prepaid rebate card/bill credit for adding a line and trading in any iPhone 7 or newer, $500 for iPhone 6s/Plus (and most likely also 6/Plus)

Eligible devices for trade-in (in good condition) to get $500 off:
iPhone 6s/6s Plus
iPhone 6/6 Plus (possibly)


To save someone else a trip, they will NOT accept iPhone 6 0r 6Plus. Offered me a $56 trade-in against iPhone 11. FrownFrown
