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

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
I guess it doesn't hurt to call so they can have a record of you calling. I am going to try to call tonight

could you please itemize your boost mobile payment? how could you manage to get $150 each. maybe your area doesn't require sale tax?
The lady at the Boost store just said $180 for a new phone, adding a line, activating, taxes etc. I'm in California - so yes to taxes. And when I asked her about the BOGO for $49, she said, she could do two phones for $300. She did not give me a breakdown of charges and to be honest, it seemed like an okay deal to me and so I didn't ask too many questions. If I had persisted may be I could have gotten another $20 off or so each line, who knows?! I got 2 new numbers, both activated and paid for 1 month at Boost and walked out with 2 new iphone 7s for $300. The IMEIs checked out fine when I traded in at Costco.

Anyone know if you can bundle the $150 rebate card for joining T-Mobile from redbox if I'm switching carriers too ?

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.
What plan cost only $16?

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?
New phones. I had to activated and add a plan but since it was a new line, she said she was giving me a deal. No contracts, though. I didn't have numbers to port in. She did try to sell me the accessories but I said no.

I am facing the same issue. ...I called T-Mobile yesterday. They said some IMEI at Costco are not registered with this rebate. I was asked to retry in 30 days. (This rebate is expiring in 30 days). Don't know what to do now...planning to return the phone.

Boost mobile store will not just sell you a cheap iPhone with no plan

How much was the 1 month service fee or was that part of the $300 in total that you paid for the phones?

Every boost mobile store is different. Some are shadier than others. You may luck out and only pay for the phone, 1 month fee and tax. Others charge a lot more.

I added a line, not a plan. I'm on the One Plus plan. It's $20 to add a line and my 20% hookup discount makes the line $16.

Rep said that no 256gb+ for iPhone 11 pro and iPhone 11 pro max for T-Mobile are available at all in Costco (but available for other carriers). He claims that it is true for all Costcos. This was a dealbreaker because in today's day and age, 64gb is not enough for us...

Has anyone actually gotten this deal with 256gb+ iPhones 11 pros (max)?

By the way you activated any new number on those 2 phones ? Or just took the phones and visited Costco? . Making sure that we need to activate the phones or not before visiting Costco.

Costco promo page clearly says IPhone 11 or iPhone XR but how come people are taking IPhone 11 Pro and Promax ?
