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 did not ask.. he told me randomly. But he insisted on that..
It's not true. You can cancel once you get the big rebate. It MAY hurt you down the line if you try to do a similar deal at Costco because the reps can see all your kiosk transactions by simply scanning your card and can see when you canceled the line.

I have a somewhat odd situation that I want to take advantage of this deal.
1. Want to port an ATT line over to this. Current ATT phone is iphone 6 with RSIM (it's a straight talk phone I think). RSIM only works with ATT, no other carriers. This phone will NOT be traded in, it's just the phone currently being used on ATT. I want to keep this number.
2. Will trade in iphone 7 (Boost) in order to get iphone 11.
3. Will do this deal at either Costco or TMobile, it doesn't matter to me as will keep line for quite a while. However, iphone 11 that I prefer may not be in stock, meaning have to order and get bill credits That is fine with me.

So, I port over number, but iphone I want is not in stock. Current phone won't work on Tmobile as the RSIM only works on ATT. What do I do in the meantime for a phone until iphone 11 comes in?

yes, you have to submit the rebates to get those big rebate cards.

I will try to explain the deal with costco:

If you purchase the phone on the spot, and walk out with them, that qualifies for the big rebate virtual card.

Now, if costco does not have the model you want in stock and they have to ORDER it for you, you pay retail pricing, $700 for 64gb, $750 for 128gb and when you submit the documents for the offer, you will get 24 months of bill credits !

so it's pretty much buying in store on the spot vs having costco order the phone for you.
Thank you for clarification! I've been following this and see people have been having issues with purple and it's been 25 hours now. Should I wait more and try and submit? Or should I call them now? It sucks cuz they only had that color. The one bugging with some other colors

Just traded in my 7 plus and got the iPhone 11 Pro Max 64 GB in Gold.

Paid $1088 (w/ tax) + $16 monthly for 3 months ($48) = $1136

With the $700 rebate, I'm left with $436 for the iPhone.

I really wanted the regular iPhone, as I would've had to pay less out of pocket, but they didn't have the color and size I wanted. But still happy with the deal. Thanks SD.

The Boost store wanted $200 for a preowned iPhone 7 but they sell it for $129 on their website. I paid an extra $12 for expedited shipping (1 business day) so it will arrive before promotion ends. My credit cards wouldn't work on their website so I had to pay with Paypal, but I get an extra 5% back because of Chase Rewards visa promo, plus 10% cash back from "rack oo ten".

I did this deal yesterday. Went to Boost and purchased two Iphone 7s paid total $300. I know, shady - but I didn't have the time to haggle and ask too many questions. First went to my local Costco on Friday night but the wireless kiosk was packed. Went back first thing yesterday morning and completed the trade in and bought 2 new phones.

Boost 2 new iphone 7s: -300
Iphone 11 128GB: -680
Iphone 11 pro 64GB: -899
Taxes on iphone 11: -138.25
Trade in Tmobile: +1400
new line on Tmboile one: -20 (4th line is free)

Net: 617.25 for iphone 11 and iphone 11 pro. I actually wanted a new line, so will keep the iphone 11. Planning to sell the iphone 11 pro after I get it unlocked. Hopefully I can sell it for more than 650. Making it a free Iphone 11!

could you please itemize your boost mobile payment? how could you manage to get $150 each. maybe your area doesn't require sale tax?

So the 2 iPhones you bought at Boost were new or used? I assume you did not buy any plans with phones? No plan was required correct? And no port ins? Did you just walk in and asked to buy 2 IP7's and that was it? Or did they try to sell you more or any other shady tactics?
