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

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???
would u mind tell me which warehouse? thanks.

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?
1 - try swappa and see if it results anything

2 - you must make a few calls/texts to be sure the new sim & line is activated and registered.

Thanks. I should have checked Googe. Here's an article on how to see if your iphone is paid off or not.

Sadly TMO is just useless around here. Little to no coverage at all.

I use my own unlocked devices on t-mboile, on a plan. Is there a deal for people like us? for this deal, I assume you need to open a new line, which means my phone numbers will change. Am I reading it correctly?

I got quote from boost store new iphone 7 $50 + plan $50 + taxes Apprx $110 with no activation fee... but only know when I actually buy it... Port in number should be minimum 4 months with the last carrier
Can i do this in store?
4 iphone 7s for 50$ each, 200$ total
port in 4 numbers to a 3GB/line plan costing 120$ total
4 phones would cost : 320 plus port in numbers cost
I'm not sure how you got Activation fee waived (i'm not even sure if there is one)
Also can i use port in numbers from Ebay?

I checked three Costco near me, most of them don't sell T-Mobile, only two of them do so, but none has the 255gb model, can ph be swapped later for more storage?

Dont forget to add on the tax+activation+phone case+insurance+whatever else they can sell you.

The boost store reps are notorious for shady addons/deals to let you get the phones.

You don't need to change your number. Just keep the line open for about 3 months, cancel after rebate is received and continue using your current number during all this. You'll pay extra for 3 months for this new line though.
