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 someone please confirm if I will get the $700 credit if I port my number to t-mobile as an add-a-line. If yes, how would that work? Thanks!
Yes it works as long as none of the lines in that account are canceled in last 90 days

So theoretically If I buy the Iphone 11 Pro 256 GB in NJ
I pay at the time of purchase:
Phone Price: 1150.00
Tax (.07): 80.50
Total: 1230.50

Then I return my iPhone 7 and get 700 back.

Taking my net cost of purchase to 530.50 with no payment plan for the 11 Pro 256GB

If I buy the 11 128GB
I pay at the time of purchase:
Phone Price: 749.99
Tax (.07): 52.50
Total: 802.50

Taking my net cost of purchase to 102.50 with no payment plan for the 11 128GB.

Not a bad deal since I have 4 people at home with iPhone 7 and 7+

Simple Question: If I am an existing customer and just plan to use my existing lines am I eligible for this deal? Meaning just buy the phones and activate on existing T-Mobile lines.

Thanks!

Really lame that this doesn't apply for Simple Choice whereas the no new line required deal earlier this year allowed for Simple Choice customers to trade in. Honestly thinking of just changing to another carrier, sick of this nonsense where there are never any deals for Simple Choice users.

Because this is a T-MOBILE deal. I've done this deal four times before. If the phone isn't under T-Mobile service, it's not going to work.
You are wrong!

Phone costs are 50 less at Costco.

You will need to add a line for each phone you want to buy. You do not need to keep them after you get the rebate. You should use them a week with the new numbers on the new phones before you swap sims

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.
Same here. Signed up for membership same day

Once you're a member, you're a member. No time requirements.
There seems to be a lot of conflicting information about this. Do you need to be a Costco member for a minimum number of days or can anyone sign up for a Costco membership to take advantage of this deal?

The reason there is conflicting info is because the kiosk reps are pretty much making up the rules. If you ask them 'hey I just signed up for Costco membership can I do this deal'? They will think you are shady and will cancel soon. So they can deny you service. It's happened before.
