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

Isn't this not too different than the last deal for $580 rebate depending on which devices you're trading in? If you have 6s then this deal is worse.

Don't know what you have. But Verizon and ATT are idiots other than they may have little more reliable network at the cost of twice the price of T-Mobile. T-Mobile has best customer service ever. Recently slightly degraded though as sales people over the phone lie to get commission.
Rule #1 when you deal with cell phone company:

ONLY COMMUNICATE WITH EMAIL OR ONLINE CHAT AND KEEP RECORD.

I'm at Costco right now and the rep is saying for Tmobile I have to buy $75 plan. This deal doesn't work for $60 plan. Is that correct?

That is incorrect, the Essentials plan should work.

Can someone clarify how you receive the rebate? What kind of bill credit do you get and is the whole rebate split between a bill credit for a TMobile plan and a prepaid card?

I'm a Verizon user but I have a few extra phones lying around I can use to get past the 40 day period I need to be on TMobile. I want to know if it's possible for me to sign up for a new line with TMobile then switch the phone to Verizon after forty days and I'll receive the rebate as a prepaid card. I have no need for bill payment reduction because I don't want TMobile.

What effing wiki are you talking about? I don't see any wiki.
EDIT: I've scored much better Costco deals in the past for iPhones than this deal plus I've probably been on SD before you were born so I have a good intuition about what is a good deal vs a luke warm deal. It's due to hyperactive and impatient kids like you that deals like this even get an attention.
Out of curiosity, what was a much better Costco deal?

You can trade in an iPhone from any wireless service, as long as it is paid off and iCloud unlocked. 6s gets $500. iPhone 7 and beyond gets $700
Does it have to have active service? If I buy one just for trade-in, do I have to put it on some plan before trying to trade it in?

If my phone does not qualify the trade-in condition, what will happen, no cash card? Can I return to phone to costco in that case?

No. The Costco rep just has to be able to get the IMEI # off the phone

I did the last Costco TMO promo. Since this promo code is different, can I add another line and do it as well?
