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

Thanks! I want to completely switch over from att so we'll do two lines and I guess get the maximum benefit out of it too. Can you confirm the locked att iPhone would be eligible?
Locked att iPhone can be eligible if it is paid off, no crack and damage to the screen and iCloud turn off when you trade in your att phone

No, must be 6s or 6s plus which will give you up to $500 back in rebate. The 6 does not qualify for this promo

Just FYI to everyone that's on the fence for this deal. I followed t-mobile very closely last year during the weeks of November and the absolute best iPhone T-mobile deal took place on Cyber Monday. (Not Black Friday). The deal was straight from t-mobile and it was trade-in an iphone, add a line, and get $750 in credits for new iPhone PLUS free Apple Watch series 4. One day only (24 hr sale) on cyber Monday. I'm glad I waited last year and I'll do the same for my wife's upgrade this year to see what they offer.
Bill credits over 24 months right? That's what I'm trying to avoid. Otherwise this is very good.

Yes, but really I don't see what the difference is. New Phone is still free to me.

Could anyone please clarify. For new customer I am seeing the Essentials plan on T-Mobile website for $35 a line. Why is it $60/line at Costco? Or I'm I tripping?
It's $35 per line if you get 4 lines...it's in the fine print. For a single line it is $60. For 2 lines it is $45 per line. Click the details link to see pricing per # of lines.

The lack of reading comprehension in this thread is abysmal. No wonder they do these rebates, because by the looks of it, 1/2 the people can't read and won't get their rebate

I'm assuming the 11 is more popular than the PRO since reports of only the purple left. Hoping theres still PRO stock on monday when my iphone 7s come from boost.

Thank you so much for saying this! I do remember that deal, but was sick in bed that particular day. I will definitely wait. Thank you again for this reminder!

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.
You usually have to wait 24-48 hours for it to show.

If I already have iPhone 7 on Tmobile can I use that phone for trade-in?
My plan is to put sim card in that phone to new iPhone and new sim card will be just lying there without phone until I cancel that line in 3 months. Will that work or new phone has have new sim card for 3 months?

TIA
