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

Same question here, anybody know if Tmobile One Military qualifies? I see Magenta Military plan is listed, but Tmobile One Military isn't listed.
Check the picture I posted a few posts back. I don't see ONE military as eligible. But I don't know

Absolutely right! I am facing the same issue, my local costco was out of inventory, so placed my order from T-mobile only to find out its under 24 month monthly credit plan.. Not sure if I will be eligible for this now..

While I don't know if they changed the rules, last year around this time I went to Costco, paid for a new membership and immediately bought an iPhone XR with a similar promo. I received the rebate without any requirement for any minimum number of days being a Costco member.

What serious??? I just bought the membership gold star for 60$ right now. It won't work to do this if I do next day tomorrow morning? What's the chances they'll look over it, or Can I borrow someone else's membership # to do this??

Let me know if this works. You can use someone's membership but that person must go with you to the store because the purchase will be on the member's name. I hope you get the Mastercard not your friend.

I believe if you check with T-Mobile, they will say Costco run the promotion, they can do nothing. And you check with Costco, they will say T-Mobile process the rebate, you have submitted the rebate, they can do nothing.

They send you a link to the virtual card on the new cell phone number.

I guess every kiosk can make their own rules. Just go in and don't make any mention of your membership. Do you have a physical card? They just scan it for your customer id number.

Can anyone tell us if they were able to buy membership same day and do this no hiccups? What did u say exactly for them to honor buying outright to try and unlock 60 days? I was stopped because they said they lost money and get commission per sign up but don't get it if u cancel so they wouldn't sell me one today but wanna try a different store Frown
