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

The Boost store wanted $200 for a preowned iPhone 7 but they sell it for $129 on their website. I paid an extra $12 for expedited shipping (1 business day) so it will arrive before promotion ends. My credit cards wouldn't work on their website so I had to pay with Paypal, but I get an extra 5% back because of Chase Rewards visa promo, plus 10% cash back from "rack oo ten".

Be careful with those. A few of us on here including me have gotten bad phones since they are 'pre owned'. Mine had a faulty charger.

does T-mobile iphones work with other GSM operators like ATT/Cricket? my undenstanding is T-mobile operates in different bands, does their phones also vary?
FDD‑LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 29, 30, 66, 71)
TD‑LTE (Bands 34, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 46, 48)
CDMA EV‑DO Rev. A (800, 1900 MHz)
UMTS/HSPA+/DC‑HSDPA (850, 900, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz)
GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)

It works..

Nothing is different. It works if it's unlocked.

Most Boost stores are shady. Some reps will not over charge ridiculous fees and make you buy accessories but most will

Can I use the $630/$700 (depending on which phone I get) pre-paid virtual card to pay rent through RadPad? Serious question, I've never used that service before.

None of the warehouses around me seem to have this in stock. Is there a way I can track the availability online?

Why is this a deal, since there will be a hard pull? I guess you can get similar benefit (over $300) by opening a new credit card?

Costco live chat. They can check the inventory at your local store.

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
new promo code COSTCOAPPLENOV

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,
Yes. It depends how many lines they approve you for.
