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

They give Assurant paperwork including shipping instructions. There is a customer copy section and there it says Accepted Offer Value: $68. But we signed up for the $700 rebate. Is something wrong with it? (I'll ship my iPhone 7 - 128 GB)
It means that the $68 is the value of the phone thats what youll get for one time bill credit $68 then the rest of the $700 will be mailed to you.

I hope it's gonna work like you say because it says up to $700 rebate. I thought for iPhone 7 which is the oldest model they accept for the $700 deal valued as $68.

Since this deal ends on 27th Wednesday, anybody know if they're going to have a better Black Friday deal?

I cancelled two lines recently (<90 days) it was part of the BOGO line offer from last year. What is my best and least costly option? Should I reactivate those two lines then go to Costco and add a line for the trade in or just open an account in my name with one line and do it that way?

Can someone just sanity check this math while I understand the value of the deal:
-$630 (iPhone 11 64 GB)
-$31 (Sales tax assumed 5%)
-$300 (real value of an iPhone 7 trade in)
-$60 (3 months of family line service @ $20 / month)
+$700 (Visa gift card)
= $321

So roughly $340 ($661 - $321) savings to do this deal?

so i cant just immediately swap my sim into the new phone and leave the new line alone (while waiting to receive the rebate)?
I believe your phone must be unlocked as well in order to get working for using dual sim. Im not Sure but that how i was read through apple support website for usa carriea dual sim card. Not for traveling abroad

iPhone 7 is selling from $150 on many websites. So you may add $150 to savings. Also if you buy iPhone 11 64 GB, you will get $630 as rebate not $700. So better go for 128GB. Where you can get $680 rebate.

Did you figure that out? I am in same situation.
No, I did try to submit the rebate online but it just keeps on saying "There were no promotions that matched your search criteria"

Approximate value for iPhone 7 = $68 and you receive gift card for $630 only because your phone price $630 before tax.

Is anyone getting this error when they go on t-mobile promotions website and enter their phone number/ promo code COSTCOAPPLENOV : "There were no promotions that matched your search criteria". Is it because it has been less than 24 hours since I bought the phone? I see everyone else getting stuck with IMEI not acceptable but I don't even get an option to enter the IMEI of my phone.

Also, for my Iphone 7 (32gb, sprint), the trade-in value on Assurant paperwork shows $0.00. Has that happened for anyone else? Just curious. Thanks!

Do you mind telling me if your Iphone 7 is 32gb or more? I traded in my Iphone 7 32GB and it states accepted offer value of $0.00 on Assurant paperwork lol

Most likely but if you are specific on color, you might have trouble. For me, on friday, they only had purple iphone 11s (Which I didn't want). On saturday, they had a small inventory of Iphone 11 (black) which I was ok with. I would have preferred to get a red one but I am not sure if they will ever get a red one and who wants to go to the store third time.

Best to talk to your mortgage person as to whether it would be an issue or not.

While I'd think it shouldn't, they would be the best source of advice.

The microphone on my phone literally just broke the other day. Everything else works fine. Is my phone still eligible?
