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

Since I'm on SimpleChoice and can't get the rebate, can I just outright buy an 11 64gb from Costco without trading in anything or getting the promo deal and still pay the $629.99 + tax? Not great, but still saves $70 vs retail. I can then just sell the would-be-trade-in phone separately.

I just jumped in the previous $580 deal with 4 new lines. Can I still add more lines in my account to get the promotion this time? The post mentioned max 4 per account, but I don't know whether they account the previous one or not.

Thanks,

Need to port over some numbers but one I will have a new number and then port the other number when my son is back in town. Anyone know if this will mess up rebate or what number the old or ported number I would use for paperwork of rebate?

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.
The previous Costco/TMobile thread has a kiosk screenshot in the wiki. Pricing for all iPhone 11 models.

Does it matter if the battery has been replaced with 3rd party battery? Any response will help. Thanks

So the least expensive plan is Essentials for $60 + tax ??? So in reality more like $75/month??? So the total will be around $150 for 2 months after trade-in assuming we get the rebate within 8 weeks.

Gotta say, T-Mobile's plans seem incredibly expensive already and likely will go much higher once they merge with Sprint and reduce competition. Spoiled by Sprint's free BYOD plan I guess.

The $580 rebate was good, but this deal is great. The hardest part will be finding iPhones in stock in the Costco warehouses. Even then they may not have the color/configuration you want.
For those who are trading 6S, why is this deal better?
