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

Keep getting the below error when trying to submit the online rebate. Does anyone know about this?

"The device IMEI entered is not eligible for this promotion, please re-enter or contact 1-877-470-3619 for details."

Please help if anyone come across this kind of problem before.

Anyone still get the invalid IMEI in submission? I added the line on Friday night
I had the same issue. Called the number listed on the website for rebates department. (1 (877) 470-3619‬ ) CSR informed me that they are aware of this issue and escalated this to their IT department. She also informed that eta for a fix is Wednesday. So, I would retry on Wednesday.

Anyone have this problem. I purchased iPhone 11 pro max green, but the receipt shows iphone 11 64gb but the price as $999.99 plus tax. Will this cause any problem to get the $700 rebate?

Please advice will rep.

Can someone explain why this deal is better than the TMobile deal? 4 lines for $30/each plus it seems like the trade in rates are the same

The outcome is essentially the same cost-wise if you plan on keeping the newly added line. The advantage of purchasing at Costco is, since you buy the phone outright, after you get the rebate you can just cancel the new line that was created for the promo. Through T-Mobile you get the rebate as monthly bill credits over 24 months; if you cancel that line before 24 months you will stop getting bill credits but still have to pay for the entire cost of the phone.

Direct deposit is a no-go for sure, but some people have listed methods that have worked in the past to liquidate the gift card, then deposit cash afterward. I will see if anything works when I get the e-giftcards that I should be receiving in a couple weeks or so from the previous Costco deal and post back my results.

I heard few got bought the phone without trade in phone /IMEI/trade in quote. The rep said buy the phone outright and add the line then comeback later for trade in paperwork. Can someone confirm if they had done this earlier ?
I did this but not everyone allow this.. check with them upfront.. act like u just got to know about the offer while visiting costco and phone is at home.. they should allow u to take the phone..

I think it requires prime? Or just prime card? I will look into it, thanks for pointing it out!
Actually just bought my S10 from Costco, no new line required, no trade in (my screen is shattered on my old phone) $419 +tax out the door was about $60 cheaper than amazon after 20% off sale and 100$ new card credit. Although I'm a little conflicted because the note was only $469 but I really want an Aux jack which I use fairly regularly.

Problem is the description shows iphone 11 64gb. Instead of the word pro max. Do you think rebate processing team can come back and say this not the right receipt?

I'm skeptical to go Costco and changing it as activation date and phone purchase date then changes and that will be a good reason for Tmobile to reject.

I have repped for responding.
