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

how do we request tmobile to unlock this after 41 days?
is there a built in app like metropcs's phones or have to contact tmobile for them to unlock manually?

thank you

I bought two Note 10 last week and add a new line and upgrade. If I return both phones, can I use this new line to qualify for this deal?
I can't cancel this line, therefore I won't be qualified for this deal but don't want to open another one. Thanks!

Anyone had experience trading in a written off work phone? So under setting it still shows:

This phone is supervised and managed by ... Learn more about device supervision.
MDM does not survive a factory reset, so just google how to do that on your phone and you should be all set. I have done it many times with old work phones. Always do a carrier unlock for good measure as well.

I'm on the same boat. My representative told try until 30 days as it may take a few weeks for them to fix. Trade in is the riskier part. New phone should be returnable in Costco. Better to keep the promotion term safe till we get the promised promotion credit back. ☹️
I am not sending my old phone till they resolve it...14 days is the costco return policy and Tmobile is asking to wait till 15 days before they manually process my promotion. sounds fishy but will wait before i send my phone.

Thanks. 3 hours!???? Geeeezzz.... wondering if it's even worth it now
My recommendation is go on "off hours" and make sure the rep is not new and possibly a manager. I originally spoke to the manager and he was good, then passed me on to his very incompetent co-worker. I was almost at the point to say f$%# it. I had my son with me who was not happy either. Also, I just tried submitting the rebate offer of COSCTOAPPLENOV and it still is showing "There were no promotions that matched your search criteria." I really hope TMO gets their shit together as this is only going to get worse for those of us who got this deal as we will all have to pay longer on the "new lines" we opened up. Frown

I think Costco return policy is 90 days for the phone. 14 days is for carrier trial period. We may be charged for first month charge but I don't think that there is any early termination fee as it is not bound within contract.

I had $20 line that I cancelled less than 90 days. Can I reinstate the plan and add another line for this promo?

yes, but I'm not sure if you need that same exact phone number that you canceled. It might have been recycled already.

Picked up 2 128s and 2 64 phones, trading in iphone 8, 8+ and 2 6s. All purple, the only colors in stock at nearby Costco. Planning to submit the rebates today. We had paid $300 and $400 for the 8s 2 years back, now those have battery and wifi issues that apple won't/can't fix.

To add: The flyer at my store said only 11 and XR for this promo. The manager said he does not have any paperwork showing Pro included. Was thinking of getting 2 Pros but decided to save the 200 bucks since the 'extra features' didn't excite me. I guess these will all have the same trade in value 2 years down.

Ordered iPhone 7 though boost yesterday with one business day. fast shipping. Still hasn't received tracking number. How long does it usually take ? I'm afraid I might miss out on this deal.

they usually ship out fast. You will probably get it tomorrow since they were probably closed yesterday, Sunday.
