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

Found ip11 but when he brought up my account, it has corporate discount which actually does nothing but the guy insist he cannot add a line with corporate discount, I'm on Magenta. Is this correct? Also he said only the primary account can add a line, authorized user cannot.
I've added lines the two previous years as an authorized user without any problems. Wondering if they changed that or not. Anyone confirm for this year?

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

Reward Tracker
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
Did you call Tmobile promotion line and ask why it was denied. May be it has same issue with IMEI recognized as ineligible.

I just left there (was going to see if they got any Note10s in). They still have S10, S10+, and Note10+ in stock for tmo at West Des Moines store.
Thanks but super far from me. Smilie Is there a directory of wireless stores? I've been calling each costco and some of them can't transfer, they have to give me the number so I call the wireless kiosk.

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

I was at the store today and the Rep told me that I have to keep the line active for atleast 6 months. He said it's one of the condition to get $700 rebate. Is that true? Can someone please share their experience. Thank you.

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.
That's very unfortunate. You should have done a little more research and at least did a chat with costco live chat service to see if any stock were available at your store.

go on a web browser, click this thread.
Look at the top right of this deal. Click on Search this thread.

Type in: 6 months

You can cancel once you get the rebate. If you are not thinking of doing a similar deal like this in the future, cancel. If you are...costco kiosk reps have the ability to see every transaction you have done and can see when you cancelled lines. So you are risking any type of future deals.

Some have been banned by costco. Read a few posts up and you will see.

Need to inspect daughter's phone. What happens if it does not pass the return requirements after being sent in?

Do you get the phone back but no refund?
Do you get a partial refund?

Quote from amitritu :
This is quite stupid craziness I would say. T Mobile has the worst coverage and service. Most of the costco have very little inventory of Iphone 11s - and no pro or pro max. Even Iphone 11 is largely 64GB. Whoever got on the deal till now- great for them. Otherwise no point wasting money trekking to costco and waiting there for this.
Your opinion.
Lots of people are jumping on this. 64gb is plenty for many folks - I do just fine with it myself. Have done 2 of these deals. Have 4 phones across 2 cities and no coverage issues. My service with them has been good.

Based on responses here, folks are jumping on this across the country. Good for them, you will not be in line ahead of them.
