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

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
So they flat out deny you? Did you ask any unnecessary questions such as "when can I cancel"?

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.
No only number. But it says u can pick it up at membership booth. So I guess pick it up first THEN go without them looking into if it's first day of membership? Buy outright and ask for prepaid shipping label and they do form. Anything I'm missing?

They send you a link to the virtual card on the new cell phone number.
Thanks for this information. Still arranging a member (one year member) to take to the store is another complication.

No they just said that people have been coming in to do this thing bla bla bla we lose money if they cancel the sign up so yea.. I just wanna do this for 2 swaps and then unlock... what's best way to do that? It says pay outright then pay for 2-3 month get unlock code then cancel plan by calling them?

Edit I read that you shouldn't put the SIM card in whole time? So don't use the plan you paid for if you want it u locked for both phones (my case 2)? Then call from a different number to unlock those two that you didn't put the sim in?

I have a simple choice family plan, I wouldn't mind switching to the ONE plan but tmobile refuses to give me the deal that gives a 4th line for free, like new customers get. Anyone managed to switch and get the free line?

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??
Once you're a member, you're a member. No time requirements.

1. The time and hassle dealing with Boost, especially the local shady stores.
2. As you said, the risk of stock disappearing from Costco for the iphone you want if it takes too much time to get the iphone 7 to trade.
What is the best option for getting iPhone 7 in your opinion?
