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

So no one has been able to confirm whether iPhone 11 PRO is eligible in this deal. I can't be the only one wondering about iPhone 11 PRO. Can somebody confirm?

Goddammit. We did the $580 through TMobile and not Costco and the phone just shipped yesterday. Feeling hosed because it was the only way to get a 256gb iPhone 11 because no one had it in stock. Already added the number and ported the line. ugh.
You'll still get $580, but just through bill credits

You should really direct message a Tmobile rep through twitter. They seem to do a pretty good job of answering questions. Every person has said Simple Choice is not an option, so I wouldn't trust the one rep in the store who says it is. He likely doesn't really know.
Will the system let the rep do it if my plan is not eligible?

Does anyone know if they will accept a working iphone 6s with a small crack in the screen as a trade-in?
Thanks.

Not sure, but since you can likely still add lines to a simple choice plan, I don't see why not. But that doesn't mean the rebate and everything with it will get approved. Again, I'd reach out to them via DM on twitter. They're better than people sometimes think at helping. Last thing you want to do is send in an iPhone and have the rebate rejected. Then you're out your old iPhone also.

No, it won't be accepted if there is a crack on the screen. No chance.

What about a smudge under the screen? No chips, no cracks, but seems like the anti-oil coating got affected somehow.

So I want use the new phone with my actual line/number but I don't want to jeopardize not getting the rebate by swapping SIM cards.

Should I just put my old line on the esim and keep new line on the physical sim since that's the IMEI on the rebate? Has anyone done this?

Don't believe anything Wireless Associates crooks tell you. Just make sure the coloe, model, size, imei matches the RMA form salesman gives you. If it doesn't and the rep says, it don't matter as long as you send in correct model. Insist on not leaving without form with correct info
