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

Anyone have luck buying an iPhone 7 at boost mobile? My local one says their "deal" is only if your port in a number. Deal is $19.99 preowned or $49.99 each for two new. Otherwise $299 new and $49 for a second with new numbers.
yes, that is the deal. You have to port in a number to get the deal in the actual store.

Last time Boost stores were checking the age of the line (like how long was the line active). Is it not the case these days?

With the IMEI issue on for rebate is it good to hold on to your trade in device until it is resolved or would be better off sending it?

Virtual card takes around 14 weeks. That's what one of the Costco wireless rep told me today. Card comes from Tmobile and Costco have no control over it.
One rep told me you have to keep line active for 6 months. So mix information.

Those of you trying to get the boost deal, it's probably a big stretch to think you'll have the phone by Wednesday before Costco closes.(deal ends 27th)
I ordered late Friday, and it's arriving today. Expedited shipping fee. From IN To CA

WARNING: DO NOT MENTION YOU ARE CANCELLING THE NEW LINES! THEY WILL DENY TO SELL TO YOU.

Yes, my mistake, but they "reported" me to Costo Management for mentioning it even though there is no minimum term listed in the terms and conditions! They claim they "flagged" my account but I believe its just my Costo Membership number. I'm not done with this battle. Stay tuned.

If they don't have the phone in store they have to ship it too you and you won't get the one time bill credit it is split up over 24 months and you have to finance the phone. Has anybody payed off the phone early through T-Mobile to see if they will get the promotion as soon as the phone is payed off, or will you still have to wait 24months to get it all?

So 2 business days. My point still stands as a warning. Depending on when your delivery person delivers it could be a stretch. If you get packages at 5pm then its gonna be a rush to get to costco by 6.

Doesn't matter. It will say that until the phone is eligible for unlock in 12 mos.

It doesn't seem like it.
That was when the trade in of the iPhone 6s was $200 at apple and people were getting several phones in multiples of 4's LOL

I have read in this thread that it was a restriction for one person at one store that they said they had to check how long that account was active for.
