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

Where is it mentioned that iphone 6s can get $500 only? I could not find anywhere on that fine print. What am i missing?
Somebody here posted a pic of the actual promo sheet from Costco. It's $500 for 6s.

Rumor is SimpleChoice plans will be removed all together next month. I spoke with T-mobile regarding my account and she seemed to insist that I wait one month before changing plans. I believe there will be a transition to a different better plan for all SimpleChoice ppl. I'm not sure if anyone noticed but it was on there front page for a few days regarding a major overhaul in December.

See Below the plan is called T-Mobile connect. Essentially the same as Simple choice, even cheaper for me at 15 a line for 5 lines thats way less than I pay now with simple choice and it has added benefits.

"rumor" = something I just made up based on a hunch.

Those who traded in 6s/6s plus will not regret right? Because they got 580$. Now its just 500.
I just sold my 6s for $150. I will buy a used 7 for that amount, maybe even less. So I just made an extra $120 minimum by waiting for this deal instead of doing the previous $580 deal.

This totally sucks because it will delay the rebate processing! My Costco only stocks the Purple color. Standing in line, 2+ hr wait!!! And now the bad news with Purple... maybe i should just give up Frown
Good to know.

Had the same issue with the purple iPhone 11 I got earlier today. Costco asked me to call T-Mobile and T-Mobile rep had no clue. Kept telling me it should work!!

In the end she just said wait for a day and try again tomorrow.

At least now I know it's a general issue and will get resolved in a few days. Was getting worried.

Unless you buy the base 11, you will only get $630 rebate. Wink

Yeah, no thanks. Hopefully buying the 128gb 11 if it's in stock.

Is it $700 or $680 at Costco for the 128gb 11 ?

Is it okay to add a corporate employer discount to the line or will Costco reject the rebate if we don't pay full line pricing on the account?
