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'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.
Thanks. I got the same error message and called T mobile promotions line 877-470-3619. They told it takes 24 hours for Costco to put in the IMEI after the sales and was told rest all looks good. They told I should have no problem submitting tomorrow. Fingers crossed. Worse case, will return and haven't sent the trade in yet. So will wait and watch.

The proposed offer price in The Device Recovery Terms printed from COSTCO is $59
Offer amount: $59 also in "Trade‑in initiated" email just received from T mobile

Should both be $700, not $59, for Iphone 7 trade-in ?

Got it. No idea how they process it, but from the sounds of others, they care mostly about the screen. I've heard of people getting $0 bill credit for the actual phone, and then getting full value in the form of the rebate card. But it's your gamble. If they completely reject it, you don't get the phone back. You get nothing.

Yeah, I vaguely recall a Costco rep mentioning waiting 24 hours when I got my XR way back, but I never actually tested that theory. Will be trying again tomorrow too. It sounds like you got more reasonable information though.

Total is $700 but when you trade in an iphone 7, they give you $59 as credit and rest in the form if virtual credit card

Thank you. I am really tempted but a $850 gamble seems too much tbh

I am trying to find out the same! Could not find out anywhere on wiki or comments or the ad itself.. Can somebody help
You buy the phone from Costco so you have to pay the full price so the total balance on the phone is due

I returned from Costco as the rep said Essentials plan is not eligible.
Can anyone confirm if its true ?
This is not true. Essentials is eligible, I used it and have the rebate submitted. Attached is the official store memo that shows the plans eligible, I even circled it in red for you.

I was just in Costco in MN and I was told that you have to be on TM One or Magenta. So, I wonder if you can call another location and ask them.
