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

Thanks for the sppedy response. I just want to make sure that these phones are paid off and do not raise a red flag. Please suggest a way to confirm. Thanks!
There's a link in wiki to check paid off status

Only 64gb though? Why didn't you get bigger?
U sure it's 6 weeks? I been reading this and ppl saying it's up to 14 weeks. And they're delaying this whole process so it goes into the third or fourth month before one should cancel... and the purpled still don't work...plus apparently u can't just redo the trade ins. Tried and they said they're sold out so idk what to do... I think I should return? If anyone can help me out I'll rep them

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.

Quote from 1ankit1 :
How soon can we cancel the line. Costco rep told me today that you need to keep the line for 6 months.
I will keep my service for around 3 months or more since it's was $20 more than my previous AT&T prepaid plan and until I get the trade-in card + my 2 iPhones get unlock from T-mobile.

A Boost Mobile iPhone would always end up showing as due unless you stayed with them for a year and only then they unlock. In the Sprint system it will always show up as due.

Are you saying such a device cant be traded in? I don't think that's correct. People have traded in the Boost iPhones for previous tradein deals.

Hi the boost stores near me say I have to stick to boost for 3months if I get phone in this offer ... is it enforceable? Or just bluffing ?
depends, some make you pay 3 months of service up front

if they do not, you are good

Need to go and check with person in kiosk again to see if this is true. It's a lot of trouble. May be Tmobile is realizing they would be at loss with this promotion and trying to delay and decline.
I talked to a kios merchandise rep and she told me I need to talk to wireless phone rep since Costco sells all phones directly from the carriers.
The wireless phone rep I talked to today confirm 14 days return since return policy from carriers overwrites Costco return policy (Costco does not own these wireless phones).

Ned to know this. The new Boost phone I bought today shows up with an error through the Sprint IMEI checker. If it doesn't show up as paid off, will it still work for this deal?

This deal has turned sour for me. Spent a lot of time researching here, buying 2 new iPhone 7's with service from Boost mobile as part of their promotion. And I'm now at my local Costco and they told me as soon as I walked up that they don't do the T-Mobile promotion here and the closest Costco that does is 1.5 hours away. They said they stopped doing this promotion at this store 2 years ago because of the people buying the phones and not keeping them on T-Mobile. This is in Raleigh NC so heads up if you're trying to use the stores here. If you have any advice other than driving to the othe rCostco please let me know. I have a health condition that makes driving that far difficult.

Thanks for checking. I guess we are out of luck. Hopefully they will fix the issue this week so that we can submit the rebate. Didn't think it will be this much messy.

Guys Be careful. I submitted my application on Friday Night. and Today status in https://promotions.t-mobile.com/ shows:

Your submission has been denied. Here's why:
No/ineligible device found on the receipt



I did upload correct receipt from Costco and also uploaded the IMEI number screenshot
Which model/color did you buy?

Can anyone confirm if the Boost mobile Iphone's can be traded in? The sprint IMEI checker shows "financial responsibility" still left.
