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

[QUOTE=nuklep;132211960.....The trade in devices are tied to the previous order[/QUOTE]


Hence canceling the previous trade in might cause problems with the new offer. I'd rather trade in a new phone, get both rebates and then cancel the unwanted lines. But that's just me...LMAO

I don't think that's the same. Many of us have SimpleChoice with the upgraded unlimited lines. It's even better and cheaper than the Magenta Plus. No Netflix, but with old free lines, I pay $174/mo with taxes included for 6 voice lines, 2 tablet lines, and a Digits beta line all with unlimited high speed data.
Mine is 7 lines and 135/Month. I hope that they won't increase monthly rate on coming changes

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?
You can buy the membership, right away you can head to wireless section to avail this offer.

Port in buy $50/month service and you can bogo iphone 7 for $50

https://www.boostmobile.com/store...Exclusives
So, when you port-in, you get two iPhone 7 devices for $50 + $50 + $50 (minimum plan on each device) = total $150. Is that correct?

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
Why buy bigger plan if you had to port in the numbers anyway? They have 3 GB/mo plan for $35?

2 Lines: $60

3 Lines : $90

4 Lines : $120

5 Lines : $150

Dumb question, but read through and didn't find an exact answer. It looks like we can't liquidate the virtual giftcard through Apple Pay... anyone know of a way to cash out the GC's, other than buying Amazon giftcards, etc?

You can request to have your virtual gift card into a physical gift card by calling the gift card issuer.

Rolled the dice, waited for this deal, and lost my bet on the 6s being worth $700. Oh well, at least it's still in the mix and worth $500.

If anyone knows the actual prices of the iphone 11 and XR variants sold by Costco, please post here or in the wiki. I'm seeing different prices posted here by some people.
