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

Give it a few days. First, you should wait 24 hours. Second, it's supposedly a known issue.

To whoever contacted tmobile regarding this, what number did you call? Maybe several of us can call so they can fix this issue faster. Hopefully before thanksgiving.

This is the T-Mobile promotion center, I've been able to talk to the rep and their supervisors via this number.

The 24 hour wait is NOT gonna help with this issue.
I called the same number as well. They said wait 24hrs, but will probably take longer.

Hopefully by Monday/Tuesday next week.

Thanks. I will call once I get home. How many devices did you get and which variants
I have just 1 purple device which I plan on returning if this issue isn't resolved in a week. Let us know how your call goes.

Got an iPhone 11 Pro last night, I was trying submit my info on the promotions page but it's saying my IMEI is not eligible.

Can someone confirm iPhone 11 Pro is included in the promo? Have been able to successfully submit the rebate?

Should I just wait for 24 hours before trying to submit?
What color your phone is that's getting ineligible IMEI error?

Would you happen to have the exact error message you are receiving so that I can say it exactly. I haven't tried to submit yet since I purchased last night

I got a 11 Pro 64G gray and 11 purple 64G today. Both of them are shown as "The device IMEI entered is not eligible for this promotion" for rebate submission.

Any one successfully submitted the rebate at T-Mobile from yesterday?
I'm getting the same error when submitting for my iPhone 11 Pro Space Grey 64GB...thinking should wait for 24hours or few days.

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

This is exact error message for Purple, I'm assuming the same for Space Gray as well.

At Costco now and bought the iPhone 11 purple. I am with SC Plan with unlimited data. It is successful. Rep said as long as you have unlimited, it is good.

I bought 3 phones 2 weeks back using $580 rebate. Can I buy 2 more in the same account using $700 rebate? 4 per account per promo? Or totally 4 per account?

Costco does not have the phone I want. If I switch the sim from the new phone to my old xs after activation, will I still get the rebate and be able unlock the new phone later?
