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 dont know the full details of the deal but from my understanding you would have to have the line open for 24 months both LINE for the phone and Digits for the watch.

So that's... Assuming ONE/Magenta Plan

$20/month line (auto pay) x 24 months = $480 fee
$10/month digits (auto pay) x 24 = $240 fee

$750 - $480 = $270 credit
AW cost - $240 = ~ $200 credit
$270 + $200 = ~$470 net credit

Is it really a deal though?

Cost of this deal is...

$130 + tax iphone 7 from boost = ~$150 fee
$20/line X 2-3 months = $60 fee
$700 - $210 = $490 net credit

Unlesss you absolutely need the line and digits plan, the costco still better imo
Well yes that's the point. I was already shopping for an Apple Watch and wanted one with a data plan. So basically I got both the iPhone and the Apple Watch for free. (Yes in the form of bill credits over 24 months).

Did you need the extra cell phone line?

They let the Apple watch data plan ($10/month) count as my "new line"
In fact, anytime T-Mobile runs a deal that requires "add a line" you can add anything to it. A watch plan, tablet plan, etc. then just cancel a few weeks later if needed.

May have been in the past, but not anymore. "Add a line" must be voice line

So the store is having these out of stock. What are the chances they will restock before end of promotion because they are not commenting on this question!
Anyone aware?

I'd hold off celebrating until you get that rebate submitted, as they've been having issues with "ineligible" IMEIs when trying to submit for the 11 models.

I went to a local Costco this morning at 10am at open. They had 3 128gb 11's. The rep told me they get new stock in everyday except Sundays but they don't know beforehand what will come in. So, just go in the morning at store open or call them when they open to see.
