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

Black Iphone Pro 11 64 shows up as "unknown device" on my T-mobile app. I think their systems are just struggling with all the promotional purchases.

This is 100% not true. They must be BSing you because they are working on the issue. I just submitted 2 phones and I filled out the forms online successfully before sending them in. My rep told me that their system were just overwhelmed right now because of demand. She knew as soon as I called in that the problem was with the Costco Iphone deal. Just have patience.
which iPhones did you get? color, gb, etc... thank you

I haven't gotten the card rebate yet but they did credit my account for service. I shipped both in small boxes. My new Iphone 11 pro is the space grey, it is the one that shows the IMEI as not being included. I wouldn't worry too much, just typical overwhelmed unanticipated attention from being feature on slickdeals.
Just making sure I understood what you are saying: So you shipped in the old phone, without filling out the online rebate form? And now they have already credited your account the trade-in value?

I got the black iphone 11 pro 64 and that's having the imei issue. I successfully submitted 2 red iphone 11's without issue. The online rebate forms were all property recognized prior to shipping the phones.

he might have done the $580 deal.
If you did this deal, that means you shipped out on Friday, when this deal started, and they received it today and already gave you the credit? Confused

No. I filled out the rebate online. Unlike what other people are saying, you don't need to ship the phone to be able to complete the rebate form online. They credited my account after they received the phone. This was for the $580 deal from Costco a couple of weeks ago. Now I got another Iphone 11 pro 64 black and I can't even submit the rebate form because it is saying that the IMEI is not eligible. My other deal was for 2 red iphone 11's. I called customer service and they said to give them a week to fix the issue. All the phones listed on the rebate form they gave you are eligible, that means all colors and sizes of 11, pro, pro max in all sizes. As long as you walked out of costco with one of those phones, you are eligible. Just relax!

Yea, that's what I was confused about. I thought it would take them at least a month to apply the trade in credit.

Also I am not sure you could send in the old phone without submitting the rebate form first? But I might be very wrong about this.

I bought an iPhone 11 using this promotion yesterday.
The estimated trade in value for my iPhone 7 shows up as $22. The rep didn't give me a mailing label either. Did he forget to provide a mailing label to mail my old phone or is that optional for him?
yes, they didn't sign you up for the offer.
they need to provide mailing label
same thing happen to me on the last deal and i had to go back to Costco and get them submit the offer

Okay. Thanks for clarification.

But I am not sure I buy into their "wait one week". This just sounds like give us some time to fix it, but we really don't know how long.

No she straight up said...give us a week at least, this is way more volume than we expected and we are totally swamped. If not working, call back again. Then she gave me a ticket number and her name so I can pull up the ticket.
