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

Currently I'm using my own phone on a T-Mobile plan. Can I still use this offer? It says new line/port-in. How can I avail this offer since I don't have any installment plan with them.

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???
Its most lilley due to supply limitation, they prob got 5.

I bought Iphone 11 Pro max 64gb Space grey from costco yesterday, and I am trying to submit the rebate in t mobile website.

I am getting "The device IMEI entered is not eligible for this promotion, please re-enter or contact 1-877-470-3619 for details." The IMEI is new device only. Spoke with T-Mobile promotion representative and they asked to wait for 48 hours."S he said she will call me back on Nov 30th. If that doesn't work she will make sure to get the rebate. I am really worried.

Did any one face the same issue and how did resolve this.? Appreciate the help

Does the trade-in have to happen when buying or you got to mail them back your phone?

that's the nature of phone carriers,or most companies, these days: no rewards for loyalty. fortunately many carriers offer the same or similar deals which allow you switch carriers but keep your number.
Cancel the line after 60 days. Problem solved

Tried searching through the comments and could not find my answer. 2 questions:

1) If I buy a used iPhone 7 on Craigslist, how do I know if it's paid off? I already know how to check if it's iCloud unlocked.

2) Do I have to open the iPhone 11 after I buy it? If I'm trying to flip it, can I keep it sealed and then just sell it a few months later after I get the rebate card?
