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

Just read through another 100 posts. Almost every single question has been asked and answered multiple times. And most are right in the promo document.

HOW HARD IS IT TO READ?

I was able to get a black 128gb Iphone 11 today in greater boston area. I traded in my Iphone 7 (unlocked, currently with sprint) and ported in my number to t-mobile. The customer service rep could only choose magenta plan and there was no option to choose Essentials on the computer screen when he was registering my account. After my phone was activated, he called tmobile in front of me and we changed my plan to Essentials. Thanks for the awesome deal!!

I got the shipping label etc. from the customer service rep but he didn't mention anything about submitting the rebate online. However, i noticed folks here talking about submitting rebate online so i went back and looked at the paperwork and it does provide details about submitting rebate online. I guess he just forgot to tell me or should i assume it was submitted by him as he kept putting in my Iphone 7 IMEI number in several places?

If you're trading in an iphone 6s and porting your number (currently on Visible), when you walk out of the store...I realize you have the new iphone (and your old iphone the we have to mail back in), but where does the porting occur? Do they do that at the Costco Kiosk, or do you have to do that yourself online or at a Tmo store?
They put in the porting request at the kiosk and it takes a few hours (generally) to complete, if all the data you provided is correct.

I think this SDer is referencing the Costco T-Mobile BYOD deal where you get a Costco gc for opening a new line for T-Mobile and bringing your own device. She's equating the gc as Costco "buying" your phone without really buying it.
Yes! Its Byod offer! Thank you for the clarification

There was an AT&T only loyalty offer of $450 of any iPhone last month where one did not have to trade in anything. Is this deal better than that one?

Do the trade-in phones need to be unlocked or I can just buy any boost wireless phones like iphone7 and submit for Trade-in to get $700?

Checked inventory first thing this morning via chat, my Costco had five of the 128GB iPhone 11 black in stock. Up from zero last night. When I got there they still had the five but I was 3rd in line so by the time it was my turn they were OOS. What a waste of time. Costco blows. What idiot orders only 5 for the whole warehouse???
