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

What does direct delivery mean?
Phone is ordered in store and mailed to you. You will get bill credits if you do this. But if you're looking for a certain size or color, this is sometimes the only option

Interesting but I find it strange that it's not spelled out anywhere. I thought I saw a flyer in the thread that mentions direct delivery

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?
I was at the Costco Store yesterday. IPhone Pro is eligible for the deal.Go and Grad it ASAP. It took me over 2 hrs to get my Samsung Galaxy yesterday night at Waltham, MA.

Today purchased Purple iphone 11 64gb. Online Rebate submission rejected stating IMEI not eligible for promo. Called the 1 877 470 3619 and the call center person acknowledged they are aware about the purple iphone IMEI issue. They are planning to update the IMEI in this week and asked to submit after a week.

Purple iphone 11 is included in promo

Thanks for clarifying, so if you get direct delivery its essentially the tmobile deal aka bill credits.

Might have to bite the bullet and get a color I don't want. I asked the chat agent about updated stock and he said its unlikely that the store receives stock daily. Gotta act quick.

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 also talked to them and they said they are trying to fix it but if it doesn't get resolve they will give an email address to send the costco receipt and they will overwrite the system then and will send us gift card for the promotion.
But this process can take a month and I would still have to ship my trade in device in a month

Can anyone ask at Costco if we're on the simple choice plan, and add a new line can those lines be magenta lines and still qualify or would you have to change the entire plan?

Did anyone experience an error, during promotion sign up at the T-mobile promotion website? I am getting an error "This IMEI is not eligible for the promotion." I bought an iPhone 11 pro max space gray 64GB.

I genuinely don't have time to scroll the thread so I'm about to ask some questions many people have already answered, and would genuinely appreciate if anyone can help. Sorry and thanks in advance.

- My wife bought an unlocked iphone XR but it turned out to be locked to ATT. We didn't discover it later as we are on ATT.
- I will be buying a used iphone 7 32GB to trade in. I'm assuming we can start a new plan with 2 new lines and will be eligible for this promo?

Thanks again, will rep for answer
