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

I suppose I need to be the owner of the account to be able to process this at Costco? Account is now in daughter's name for the military discount. Don't feel like waiting in line for an to just be told only the owner can add a line. I am authorized to call in on the account and gave pin etc.

I have iPhone7 and simple choice plan on TMobile. Just want to clarify my understanding, If I buy iPhone 11 128GB (if available in store) which is 750 and add a new line, I get $700 rebates in few weeks and can cancel the line. Please let me know if I am missing anything.

Thanks.
I dont think simple choice plan is eligible for this deal

Likely does, and again, you'll get bill credits
You are correct that for this deal it's bill credit for direct delivery. It says that on the attached flyer in the original post. However, you do get the trade in value as a one time credit.

Rumor is SimpleChoice plans will be removed all together next month. I spoke with T-mobile regarding my account and she seemed to insist that I wait one month before changing plans. I believe there will be a transition to a different better plan for all SimpleChoice ppl. I'm not sure if anyone noticed but it was on there front page for a few days regarding a major overhaul in December.

See Below the plan is called T-Mobile connect. Essentially the same as Simple choice, even cheaper for me at 15 a line for 5 lines thats way less than I pay now with simple choice and it has added benefits.

https://www.t-mobile.com/5g/new-t...lsrc=aw.ds
What is T-Mobile Connect?
T-Mobile Connect is a New T-Mobile prepaid plan offering that will be priced to benefit low-income Americans who struggle to afford wireless. It is available to everyone.

The $15 per month plan includes unlimited talk, text and 2GB of data.
For $25 per month, customers get unlimited talk, text and 5GB of data.
The plan also includes an Annual Data Upgrade every year after launch with an additional 500MB of data added every year (up to 5 years) - no action needed!
This plan will be available after the merger with Sprint is complete.

I did this similar deal last year under a family member's account. I did need the SSN and pin of the account holder. I also used a different family member's Costco membership but they were with me at the time of purchase.

Yes, you must submit via Tmobile promotions site and then send the trade in
Do we need to submit rebate first?
And then only send trade in?
I by mistake have sent trade in first and did not submit rebate yet..
Is that a problem now?

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?
You do not need to keep the new sim card in the new iPhone. Just make sure before you unpair them, you first make a phone call with it still in the iphone to ensure it activates/registers with the new device. I did this with a previous deal with no problems.

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?
Yes, 11 Pro is eligible.

It shouldn't be a problem since they probably haven't received your device to process a rebate yet. Submit it now.

If I were you, I would submit the rebate ASAP like now and then hopefully it'll still work out. The ideal process is to submit online and then send the trade in but then there is nothing that you need from the online submission to send along with the trade in. So I guess you should still be fine. Good luck!

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.
This is Costco deal , get the heck out of here !

so whats the consensus on that? been reading wait 24 hours some say wait till monday or tuesday and then call? so I guess hold off for the rebates?
There is no consensus. I guess it's up to the individual to either take risk with $700 rebate or just return / cancel, if this issue is not resolved soon.
