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

After long wait Got a iphone 11 pro max from costco- full price 1082 with tax... Everything went smoothly i was able to get one time credit $68 for iphone 7 Locked with boost... And representative confirmed they accept locked phones but needs to be paid off... In my store they only had 11 - purple, 11 pro and pro max space gray...

Just need to set up account and apply rebate and send the phone....😜

Iphone 7 with 1 month plan for 180$ tax paid.
new iphone 7 is $49, one month plan is $50, how did you pay $180?
What is the process of getting iPhone 7 from Boost Mobile for $50? I know you have to port in a number, but how do we go about this if we don't have a number to port? What are the options here on how I can obtain a number to port in to get the $50 iPhone 7 deal?

Does anyone know what is the Promotion code for this offer to submit the rebate online?
It was posted earlier as: COSTCOAPPLENOV

​I can't confirm this, just passing it along as a courtesy.

I bought the Iphone 11 64 gb Purple from Costco today but when I am trying to add the IMIE number to T-Mobile promotion site it is saying IMIE number is not valid for promo. Not sure why I am facing this issue but it seems that I would have to make one more trip to Costco for it.

Make sure that you're submitting the IMEI of the new phone

It's been answered many times in the thread. Locked phones are perfectly acceptable, but they need to be paid off.

Oh sorry, just noticed that you said purple iPhone 11. There's some issue with that color currently. You can search the forum to see the comments.

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.
Did you get any other update on it? I am facing the same issue

Purple iPhones are not entered into Tmobile system so submission throws below error

"The device IMEI entered is not eligible for this promotion, please re-enter or contact 1-877-470-3619 for details."

I called the promotions department and they're aware of the issues with the rebate submission of Purple iPhones. They just made a note on my account that it was tmobiles fault and asked me to try again after 2-3 business days.

Did anyone else had this issue?
I am facing the same issue bought purple phone and facing this. Are you planning to wait or cancel?
